Locals,
A Sad Amiction.

A sad condition of affairs prevails in the
family of Mr.. S. A. Hawkes., on the east
side of Second street, near Broadway. The
family consists of husband, wife and six
children. They came up from Emmons
county last fall to spend the winter, Mrs.
Hawkes. being frightened at the exagger-
ated reports regarding the danger from In
dians. The whole family except the father
were taken sick with measles some time
ago. Then pneumonia was added to their
suffering. Tuesday night the youngest Of
the six children, baby several months
old, died. Wednesday tile next youngest, a
boy of three years, was also called away
The mother is expected to die at any mo-
ment,a nd the other children are sick. The
family is respectable and honest one. the
father being denuty sheriff in the neigh
boring county. The father is worn out
with watching, although he has bad such
assistance as members of the Emmons
county colony in the city could give him.
The bodies of the dead little ones will be
taken down to the home of the family to-
day and buried on the claim.

June, and Mrs. Glass fears that he may
have become despondent ard committed
suicide. The last letter received from him
was dated at Marinette, Wis, June 4, 1890.
He has been on the road travelling ,or the
Ransom Electric Guest Call company, and
ms was o1 very 5 tone
his hair is rather gray. The family has
written to the chief of police at Marinette
ana hnoo also 70 the HnI5ed states pension ion
letter of having drawn his pension last
June. If he was alive and in his right
mind in September and December it is
probable that he would have written or
called for his quarterly allowance. 1t
seems hardly possible that MIR; Glass could
have deserted his wife, for they have al
have one son, about 10 years old.

column interview with Bishop Stanley
of the North Dakota diocese on the Indian
situation in the northwest. He says the
government is responsible for the recent
outbreak and charges the Indian bosses
with gross mismanagement. He does not
condemn individuals. but condemns the
system which places almost unlimited
power in the hands OF persons who know
little or nothing about the aboriglncs. their
habits and customs. than CLEANED from
books written on the subject, and, speak
ing of Sitting Bulls death, the bishop said:
"There is but one word that will convey
my view of that affair." and that word is
slaughter Sitting Bull was not killed le-
Ultimately, as the word is understood in
warfare; he was unnecessarily butchered
am satisfied that he could have been
brought in by the soldiers and the police,

how the killing was done. And this act

An Ohio River Boat Goes Down-Two
Passengers Drowned.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-THE steamer Sher-
lock struck the Kentucky pier of the G. g.
.. bridge while going down the river. She
had on board thirty passengers and about
fifty or sixty of the boats crew. The boat
went to pieces and foated down to Fifth
street, where she sunk. She had on board
400 tons of freight. The cabin floated
down the river, and at Riverside some of
the crew and passengers got ashore in
skiff. The harbor steamer A. L. Martin
was hastily sent after the floating cabin
and caught it at Riverside, several miles
below this city. AS many as were left
We're hastily taken aboard and returned
to the city. 1t is said they were remark
ably brave during their season of peril
and that with few exceptions the women
were more courageous than the men. when
death seemed certain. Mrs. McLane of
Pttsburg was instantly killed by falling
freight at the time of the collision. The
Sherlock was eighteen years old, valued
at $4,000 and insured for $4,000. She had
4OO tons of freight, consisting of nails,
paper, bottled beer, glassware and miScel-
laneous freight. 1t is known now for GER
tain that Mrs. McLane of Pittsburg and
her granddaughter. little Margaret Brown
OF Pittsburg. were the only ones of the
twenty-one registered passengers lost. OF
the nine unregistered passengers, whether
every one of of the officials and crew were
saved. In regard to the cabin and deck
clerks, there is painful uncertainty. The

PITTsBURG, Feb. 18.-At1 O'Clock this
afternoon the flying current in the Allie
gheny river reached 80 feet and II inches
and began to slowly recede. AS even the
widest estimate had placed high water at
% feet the great damage inflicted in this
city is due more to carelessness in remov-
ing goods than to the very high water.
With nearly every iron mill flooded and
closed down, the railroad tracks washed
away, squares upon squares of streets
flooded to the second story and cellars
filled, the direct loss by flood cannot fall
less than S1,000,000.
The poor living along the river
have suffered SO greatly that appeals for aid
have been issued by the mayor of Alle-
gheny. The grestest losses of course fall
upon the down town wholesale stores and
the Riverside establishments on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, where fully three miles Of
cellars are filled to the first floor and the
goods damaged beyond repair. Added to
this, the building inspectors say that the
Hooded districts have suffered great injury
in the way of damaged foundations and
buildings. Tonight the river has fallen
several feet and the railroad and street car
lines will open up to morrow. The DAM
age to the railroads has been generally re-
paired and all trains are running slightly
