STRUNG the law prohibiting the
mailing of envelopes having on the
outside words calculated to reflect
injuriously on the character of any
one, was rendered by Judge Wheeler,
of the United States district court
OF Vermont, recently. The court
held that the act was violated BY
sending through the mails letters
contained in envelopes bearing the
words, Excelsior Collecting Agency
printed in large letters across the
upper half of the envelope. The
printed words were separate from
the direction to return if not called
for, in the lower left-han corner, and
the court held that they were obvi-
ously placed SO as to attract at
tention and reflect delinquency in
making payment upon the person
TO whom the envelopes were sent.

THE INDIAN SCARE. i
The Indians Abandon For the
Present the Killing of
the Troops.
They We're Maturing aScheme
to Draw the Troops Into
Ambuscade.

OMAHA, Nov. 24-Latest reports from
Pine Ridge are not so reassuring as those
received last night. It is admitted by the
authorities at the agency that numerous
band from Rosebud is Ell route to Pine
Ridge, though the purpose Of the visit is
not youchsafed. Short Bull and Jack Red
Cloud, who have been leaders of the
dancing at Rosebud deny any hostile in
tentions and say that the dancing has been
stopped. The dancers are coming into the
agency to-day in squads, preparing to draw
their rations to- morrow.
Much loud talk is heard, but the Indians
mainly disclalm any hostile intentions.
This attitude, however, does not satisfy
either Gen. Brooke or Agent Roger The
fear is now that many of the dancers will
decline to come to the agency for rations
tomorrow, but will prefer to organize in
cursions into country bordering on the res
ervation.
In order that this phase of the question
may be properly MET, Gen. Brooke has or
dered large body of troops to Rushville.
To-day Companies E. + and G and H, of
the Second infantry, commanded by Cap
tains Ames, Ulio, Keller and Clarke left for
Omaha OH two special trains, and will
reach Rushville at a. m. Monday. Com
panies A. c and G, of the Twenty first imam
try from Fort Sidney, commanded by Lieut..
Brooke and Captains Ebstein, Duncan and

Poland. are now en- route by special train
from Columbus, Neb., to Nashville. Col.
Guy V. Henry, with one troop of the Ninth
cavalry from Fort Mckinney, is also on his
way there.
The other troops in this department of
the state are under marching orders, and
can soon be centered at the scene of trouble.
This move is intended, first, to cut off raid
ing parties if any leave the reservation, and
second, to support Maj. Buffers command
at Pine Ridge, should he need reinforce
ments. Gen. Brooke's headquarters will
continue at Pine Ridge

PINE RIDGE, Nov. "a The first
knowledge that the ghost dancers had COM
menced plating to entrap the soldiers was
brought to Indian Agent Roger last night
by William McGaa, formerly all Indian
scout and now wealthy ranehman living
in the vicinity of Buffalo Gap.
McGaa was travelling overland on horse
back and alone. He enjoys wide friend
ship among the Indians generally, and last
night staid at one of the lodges about mid.
way between this point and Buffalo Gap.
The result was that he secured information
as startling as it was valuable and that re-
moves every vestige Of doubt as to the
bloodthirsty villainy which has taken
possession of the ghost dancers. After he
had been in bed couple of hours or more
one of the redskins bent over him to dis
cover whether he was asleep. To all APP
pearances he was. s".
Then he heard them get up and begin
whispered consultation. For the first time
in his life McGaa says he almost doubted
his own ear. The Indians with whom he
had lain down to sleep with feeling OF ut
most security were deliberately plotting to
lead Gen. Brooke and his soldiers into an
ambush and shoot them down. Their plan
as McGaa heard from their own lips is to
continne the ghost dance till the troops try
to stop it. '.z' s---

ELECTORAL FRAUDS.
A Clear Case of Ballot Rox Stuffins in
South Dakota

Clear Case of Ballot Rox Stuffing in
South Dakota.
BLUNT, S. D., Special Nov PA United
States marshal came down from Sully
county yesterday in search of a pair of
ballot box suffers, their crime just having
been discovered.
It seems that the clerks of election in
Pleasant township, Sully county, were very
much interested in securing the election of
the sheriff, and during the time the eyes of
the judges were off the ballot box seven lille
gal votes were slipped in and names put on
the poll books to show that everything was
all straight. One of the defeated candidates,
in trying to ''explain how it happened, /"
was searching the poll books with view
of unearthing something which would give
him the inside track, and he ran across
the names of parties on the books who have
not been residents for several months. An
alarm was at once given and officers were
put on the track of the guilty parties, but
in some manner they got wind OF the affair
and skipped.
The judges of election for the township
named were arrested. They deny all
knowledge Of the affair. They have been
bound over to await the action of the grand
jury.
