Chief Big Foot ATTEMPTS a Bluff.

Chief Big Foot and the authorities at tie
cheyenne agency are on the outs. When
the beef rations were distributed the other
DAY, Big Foot demanded that his share of
the stock be delivered at Cherry creek in
stead of at the agency. This the agent re-
fused to do, when Big Foot threatened to
take their number of bullocks forcibly and
drive them to the Cherry creek camp to be
slaughtered. The agent became alarmed
and summoned all the Indian police to
guard the herd. Big Foot then said he
would not take the beef unless he wanted
1t and ordered oil his followers away to
Cherry creek, where they are now skulkine
without rations from the government,
Hump is captain of the police and Big
toots rival rs chief of the hostile, and
considerable jealousy exists between them.
The hostiles followed Big Foot and now
Hump has started for their camp to arrest
Big Foot for his disobedience, which will
likely prove a dangerous task. If he can
not succeed alone be will summon all his
Indian police to assist him.

Prospects for u Beet Sugar Factory.

The prospects are good for the location
at Pierre of a big factory for the manu-
facture of beet sugar. Those who have
given the question of beet culture study
claim that the soil of South Dakota, par

to that industry. In fact, squaw men and
Indians on Bad river have each year raised
large quantities of fine sugar beets with
out n yculture to speak of. 1t is claimed
that farmers can realize $25 and $50 per
acre in raising beets for the factory, and
an institution of this kind would be of in
estimable benefit to the farmer as we'll as
