Gen. Miles is, as it were, between two
fires, in endeavoring to bring the hostile In
dams to terms. If he should attack them, in
considerable philanthropists in the East, in
comfortable drawing rooms and cosy offices
shielded from cold and danger and hunger,
would not fail TO accuse him of cruelty to the
noble red man. On the other hand, if he
does not enforce the demand he has made
render their arms and be good Indians, the
savages may laugh him to scorn, and en-
boldened by his inactivity may make sud-
den attack, in which many of our soldiers
may be killed. 1t is true that such an attack
would end in the killing of many more Indi-
ans than white men, but that would be a
poor consolation to the widows and orphans
who are left. 1t is pity General Miles can not
be allowed to end this Indian war in his own
way, without being subject to the criticism of
misguided philanihropists, thousand miles
of, who know nothing of the real condition
of things on the frontier, and base their
knowledge of the red man upon what they
have CLEANED from the pages of Fennimore
Cooper.
On Wednesday Gen. Miles was in counsel
with the hostile chiefs, and it was stalled that
nothing but an unforeseen accident would
prevent quiet termination of the Indian
war.

OUR BUSH RIVER NECK LETTER,

.eported for The Epis

A Stormy Sunday-Deaths-Two Hundred
Muskrats Killed in Hunt.
Reported for The Egis.
MICHAELsvILLE, Jan. 13.-Last Sunday was
a stormy day on the bay. The roaring of the
wind, the dashing of the surf and cracking of
the Ice were almost appalling. The wild ducks
quacked, the wild geese conked and all flew
about in wild confusion. The heavy gale, on
Monday morning, blew down Mr.. James T..
Walkers cow stable. Fortunately his COWS
had just been turned out and SO escaped.
Mr.. Charles w. Mitchell, whose death was
announced last week, was highly esteemed in
the Neck.
The remains of Mr.. William T. Gallup were
brought from Baltimore on the $50 P. NJ. train
to Perryman, on Monday, and buried at Spesu-
tia church. Rev. Mr.. Alrich officiated. The
pall-bearers were l.. L. Michael, Reese Num-
bers, Arthur Cronin, T. O'Neill Mitchell, Benja-
min G. Richardson and Samuel Sutton. Mr..
Gallup had been in bad health for two years
past. He went to Roanoke, Va, last spring,
with his sister, Miss Mary Gallup, and two
brothers, Noble and Alfred Gallup. He came to
Baltimore for medical treatment, and died there.
He was son of the late William Gallup and
nephew of Capt. e. B. Gallup, of Havrs de
Grace.
party of gentlemen last week killed two
hundred muskrats on the marshes. The manner
of hunting these creatures is as follows ::
upon them and tear down the houses built by
these Industrious little animals. OF course the
frightened muskrats leave their homes when
the work of destruction begins. The lead or
route taken by the muskrats in going from one
of their houses to another being discovered, a
hole is cut through the frozen marsh. The
frightened little animals finding all their hiding
places torn down, and being unable to remain
longer under the water, swarm around the air
holes cut in the leads. As til ey make their ap-
pearance, to get mouthful of air, they are shot
or struck with clubs. A slight tap on the nose
will kill them, while it takes good shotgun
to pierce their tough skin. Mr.. William Hall,
Ex-Sheritf Walker and Mr.. L. E. Matthews took
part in this hunt. The latter killed Is. Since
this method of hunting muskrats has been prac-
ticed the muskrats have fallen off greatly
in number. 1t used to be fine sport shoot
ing them by moonlight, but now you can scarce
ly find them, except upon marshes inacces-
sible except when frozen over. When musk
rats are injurious to uplands and meadows, 1t is
we'll enough 10 exterminate them, but on
marshes which are of no earthly use it is pity
to kill them by unfair means. jim SANK.
