Ballad of the wicked Nahwitti.


An Indian bold and warrior old
Was Nahwitti, the bellicose Sioux.
He would fight when tight with the greatest de-
light;
He gloried in all kinds. OF murder by night,
And he had most puissant and strong appetite
For white mans scalp in q stew
This internally sad, internally bad,
Reprehensible scampish old Sioux.
An ugly old squaw, with prominent jaw,
Was the wife Of this rascally Sioux.
Each cheek she would streak with red paint, and
her pique
She would show IL female little morn sleek
Ere appeared by poychromntical freak.
And would hammo r her yellow and blue
This sagacious, inhumanlv gracious.
Conceited, disgraceful old Sioux.
60 Nahwitti and wife, that they might enjoy life,
Then plotted with devilish glee
With care to ensnare all the men to their lair
That they could So they advertised, Good coun-
try fare
And board, 50 q week" And I'll swear
That in ten days they'd got forty threei
They filed 'em with lead, and they killed EN- IN
bed,
And then these two siouz started OF on spree,

H DAIRY.
Importance of rr..,aar MIX In tn. Cream

Importance Of TnstinE MILK in tho Cream
orina.
Through the Bureau of Dairy Informa-
ton, Mr.. C.. p. Goodrich relates an in
stance to illustrate the importance Of
testing milk to determine the amount of
butter fat it contains, and paying for It
accordingly:
/ have q friend who has been for many
years a private %dairyman. He has gradu-
ally, by an intelligent breeding and
feeding, and with an eye, solely to butter
production, built up a splendid herd of
butter COWS. He has made money
enough in dairying to enable him to buy
a much larger farm than he before
owned, and located near q creamery,
which he commenced to p%atronize a few
months ago.
Not long since he told me he was not
satisfied Mt all with the returns he got
from tho creamery. ".Why," said he,
''during the months Of June and July l
got As cents a 100 for. my milk. About
four pounds to the 100, average of about
Is cents a pound, aud 4 cents out for
making does it you. soc Now, the milk
of my ows will make six pounds to the

for some years, and, besides, l kept it at
home one week in June and it did 1t
then. l know they say the separator
ear get more out of milk than l can, but
I can get that. AS to price, l have al
ways got as much as and usually more
than, the best creamery. But at Is
cents six pounds is 80 cents, just double
what l got. Now, I can't stand that. To
keep the cows-feed, care for, and milk
them, and carry the milk to the factory,
and then give half to have the butter
made is too much for me.
l don't know what to do. I have no
conveniences for making butter on this
farm, and I don't want to DO at the ex-

can.
have got to do. something different,
and | have aboutnade up my mind that
must let my splendid butter cows 60
hate to terribly-5it has taken me years
to get thcm-and get some others that
will give more milk, no matter whether
there is much butter In 1t or not. Maybe
I'll get 'Holstcins.'"
Then turning to me be said, '.What
shall I do?" My reply. was, l will give
you advice only 1on one point; that is
''stick to your butter cows, for BY the
time you get fairly changed around you
will want them back again, because the
creamery men will soon be compelled to
test the milk and give credit for the but

The receipts to-day were not unlike the

Cattle-Estimated receipts, 400. The

CAVE OF THE ROBBERS.

Discovery in Lake Prairie. Ncollet County,
Mimi, OF the Retreat Of the Younger and
James Boys.
LESUEuR, Dec 2e.-In Lake Prairie
township, Nicollet county, has been
found the subterranean rendezvous Of
the Younger and James boys and their
band OF outlaws before and after their |
raid upon the Mortified bank, in 1886,
in which six men were killed. One of the
Missouri bnnditti evidently died here, as
bones we're found.
A party of young farmers were put on
. rabbit shooting expedition, and while
traversing what Is known as the Barney
Fay ravine from its foot or base toward
Its head, one of the party stumbled and
fell, rolling down an e~mbankment to the
bed Of the creek. In attempting to
scramble back up tho bank, he dis
covered an old weather beaten
door. which was hold to its place by
ancouple Of pieces of leather. The
first apartment entered was q commoc
dug-out, only about eight feet square, and
had seemingly been used as q sort Of
ante-room, with earthcn floor and walls;

which led into a room some 20 feet long
and perhaps 16 feet wide, along one
side Of which hunks were arranged
something after the fashion of berths on
q steamboat, and from tho number of
these at least 80 persons had found Sleep
Ing accommodations. This room contained
several benches and stools, an old table,
tin plates n cups, kettles. o No. 8 cook
stove and various cooking utensils. In
one corner stood an old box on end, which
had evidently served as u cupboard, near
which was found q rough board box;
which had been used as q -four chest.
This box was partitioned off, and ono end
contained some thirty or forty pounds of
buckwhcat -four. Several old, faded
decks of playing cards, q few old news
papers, and q badly dilapidated copy of
Exit Carson were found scattered about
on the slab floor. An old letter, signed
Frank, and beginning "Fricnd jim"
was found; probably from Frank james
to James Younger. A place for keeping
stolen horses was also found. In rum
maging about, a skull and other bones
belonging to a human being were found
under a pile of partly dccayed cornstalks.
One OF the gang wounded in the North
held tight probably died there.
