A Bluff Called.

1t is told of McGillicuddy and Bren-
nan, of Rapid City, that a short time ago
they we're stopping over night with a
man by the name of Americus Thomas,
down on the Cheyenne, when Mac ex-
pressed desire to visit the hostile camp
at the bad lands, provided he could get a
man that understood the country, and
try and persuade the Indians to go in.
Thomas told him he would not have to
go any further. as he could take him
right into the Indian tepees il he wished.
"All right" said Mac, "you are just the
man I'm looking for, and well go in the
morning" Morning came, and the boys
started. When within about four miles
of the camp, Mac said "Boys, guess
we've gone about far enough let's 60
back" They went, but Americus smole
a smile.-Gap Republican.

GEN. FoRsYTHE RELIEVED

The report that Gen. Forsythe has
been relieved from his command by
Gen. Miles, which created such univer-
sal surprise, has been confirmed by the
war department While the real cause
of the relief Of this officer is not definite
ly known to the public, it is believed
that the killing of squaws and pappoos-
es at the late battle on Wounded knee,
has much to do with it, and there is
little doubt of an investigation being
ordered to determine the precise nature
OF the circumstances under which they
were slain. There is much criticism
heard among army officers in relation 10
Gen. Forsythe's suspension, which is
mainly directed against the policy Of
removing an officer during the progress
ofthe campaign, instead of waiting until
after the troubles are settled. 1t is be-
lieved to have been fairly impossible.
under the circumstances, to have avert
ed the killing of the squaws on this oc-
casion, when they were mingled
indescriminately and taking an
active part with the bucks in the battle.
One officer is quoted as having said, that
"it is utterly preposterous to say that it
is necessary, in an Indian skirmish, to
cease firing long enough to determine
just what kind of an Indian you are
shooting at" which appears all the more
reasonable when the fact is considered
that the bucks and squaws look very
much alike III their blanket costume.
Another officer said "At this rate
Sioux troubles will grow to be just as
bad as the events of the first three years
Of the war, when every officer with an
independent command had not only an
enemy in front of him. but court-martial
behind him."
Still another officer said it was grave
error to order the relief of Forsythe at
this stage of the proceedings and hoid
up warning finger to every colonel in
the little army at Pine Ridge, to tell
them the death Of each Sioux must be
explained
