GEORGETOWN GAS BILLS,
objection Made to the Deductions by the
District Auditor.

District Auditor.
The president Of the Georgetown Gaslight
Company has written letter to the Commits
sioners calling attention to the injustice done
In the matter of deductions for street lighting
He says that on the 23d of this month he called
on the auditor with reference to the bills due
his company for street lighting for the months
Of July, August, September and November and
was astonished to find that the bills for July
and August had been reduced from S736 &C for
each month to less than half this amount, the
deduction alleged to be a penalty of cents an
hour for non-lighting during the two months
named. Mr.. Leetch says that such q reduction
is an injustice to the company and explains the
cause OF non-lightlng by referring to a letter Of
his dated July TO- $780, in which he requested
permission to shorten the hours of street light
ing until such time a new style Of gas retorts
could be put in the companys works.
He says he received a letter from the en-
gineer department stating that the letter would
receive attention and that shortly after mailing
his letter and before the receipt of the one
from the engineer department the superin-
tendent Of street lamps called upon him, and
ment on the back of the schedule for July
that 'from and after this date, if neces-
sary. light at $50 pm. and extinguish at IL m,
if raining, light at 8 Pm" Mr.. Leetch says
that with this understanding the schedule was
SO carried out from July 10 until August 25.
principle the District government deducts
from bills due penalty of 2 cents per hour
AZ per full schedule time and while he does not
wish to be understood as asking the District
government to remit all of the penalty for lost
time. he thinks fair calculation of lost time
should be charged. He asks the privilege of
appearing before the Commissioners in case his
explanation is not full enough.

Pine Ridge. No details are given but Big Foot
has certainly evadcd for several days all the
force in search Of him.
THE BAD LANDS.
The Bad Lands, where Big Foot and his band
have taken refuge, were described recently in
The STAR. There are bits of this land scattered
all through the plains Of the west, but perhaps
the portions best known are along the upper
Missouri The lands in question are located in
North Dakota along the Little Missouri river.
They form veritable desert. which is devoid
OF trees, grass or vegetation of any kind except.
perhaps, fringe along the banks of the river
The formation is peculiar. consisting Of soft
rock, which has been worn into deep gulches
and ravines by the action Of the water. On
the level places, where this soft, rocky sub
stance has been washed it is almost impossible
to travel either in dry or wet weather. Animals
or men In trying, to pass over sink into the
dust or mud, as the case may be, and practically
there seems to be no bottom to the soft Weld
ing mass. The name is literal translation of
the French name miruyaise terre and is as APP
propriate as any that could be selected. They
are bad lands and nothing else. Something
similar is seen in the cases Of farm lands which
nave been exhausted by successive crops and
their abandonment. The water in making it's
way along the natural drainage washes out
great gulches which are constantly becoming
deeper. In the course of years the face of
such lands presents succession of ravines and
high cliffs. The western Bad Lands are made
much more impossible by reason of the
character of the soil, as it might be termed,
which Is, as has been stated, composed of soft
rocks, which are rotted and which crumble at
the touch, and is readily washed by water.

council in the Bad Lands decided in favor of
the hostilcs returning to the agency. They are
now all on their way in. Perhaps fifteen or
twenty may slip away, but the authorities feel
that the Indian war has ended. At least they
express great satisfaction at the news brought
in by the couriers. There is still danger of
serious trouble in case an attempt is made to
disarm the hostiles. Unless this ID done all the
Indians will be at their agencies within three
or four days.
Another special says: Four battalions of the
seventh cavalry started from here today to as
slst Col. Henry in his effort to capture the In
dians who escaped from Col. Sumner

hostiles are now on the way to the agency and
still larger number are expected to join
them.

days past to hear the result Of the friendly mis-
sion Of the Pine Ridge Indians to the hostile
camps in the Bad Lands, yesterday received
