reStcd at Cheyenne Agency for killing

subsequently the sheriff was oyertaken
by two Indian police with message
from Agent Tully that number of
braves had gone to the hills with the
fugitive and sent word that they
would fight and that an attack on the
agency could be expected At any time.
FULLY sent dispatch to the command
ing officer at Fort Kcogh, asking him to
send troops, as an uprising Is inevitable
The Commander telegraphed depart
ment headquarters at st. Paul, and or
ders were issued from there to send
troops from Fort Keogh to Cheyenne
Agency. Since the order of the general
land Office allowing settlers who claimed
prior rights on the reservation to make
final proofs, trouble has been feared.
Many settlers were in Miles City last
week making final entries. Tho Indians
heard OF this and will use all means to
drive the settlers from the reservation.
No trouble is feared in army hcadquar-
ters at Chicago, where 1t is thought the
danger Of an uprising is ovcrestimatcd.

Recently an italian gentleman who
had reached this country in the steer.
age Of an cmigrant ship, strolled
through the city OF Boston until hid
eye rested upon the Common. Herr
he halted, md his sWarfhy fcatufea
lighted with pleasure as he observed
the placid surface OF the frog pond.
Anybody who has ever travled in the
steerage Of an emigrant ship knows
that the facilities for taking a bath
are extremely limited. In fact few
people In this section ever remove
more than their necktie or bonnet
as the case may be, and when they
reach America they feel disagreeab bly,
stufYy and unventilated. Consequent
ly when the Italian gentleman saw
the frog pond he was sufYused with
delight, and at once prepared to lave
himself in Its cooling depths. He
noticed that almost 400 people gath
cred to watch him as he fioundered
about In the water, and that several
women who came up to see what was
the matter ran away screaming. But
he took these things for the eccen-
triclties Of . foreign people. 1t was
when he was nearly dressed that q
policeman arrested him. He protest
ed at the station that he didn't know
there was anything improper in TAX
Ing bath in pond.
On the same day another gentle
man, who declared that he was a
British subject, was tried In the New
York General Sessions for inflicting
physical injury upon his wife. He
was charged with using q shovel in
the course OF his assault. He conduct
ed his own defense and in summing
up before the jury he made use OF
ingenious reasoning: s'Gentlemen OF
the jury, man is frail and is prone to
beat his wife"
The two incidents may serve to re.
mind the contemplative economist
how rudimentary are the human Gle.
ments that are supplied to our citizen
ship by foreign countries. Who can
contemplate-at this safe distance
the Italian bather In the Boston Com
mon frog pond without thinking that
1t Is pity to destroy such simplicity?
And who can have feelings other than
those Of admiration for the other I'm
portation who could so eloquently pict-
ure the frailty Of mankind? Is 1t not
a shame that we must SO soon force
upon these simple children of nature
the arduous obligations of the ballot?
