PLENTY HORSES FREE.
The Theory Prevailed That War Existed
When Lieut.. Casey Was Killed.

Plenty Horses is again q free man from
the charge of numbering Lieut.. Casey. The
theory prevailed that Lieut.. Casey was
killed by a hostile while a state of war ex-
listed. After the testimony was all in and
the arguments made Judge Shiras produced
sensation by taking the case out Of the
hands of the jury and deciding the defend
ant not guilty OF murder. The judge said
in substance that the guilt or innocence Of
the accused turned upon the question as to
whether or not state OF actual war existed
at the time of Caseys death. In the opinion
of the court. it had been shown beyond a
doubt that such a state of war did exist.
The most important witness to prove this
theory was Frank D. Baldwin, member Of
General Miles staff. He declared that
Casey was q scout. whose sole duty was to
report the movements of the enemy. and
that when he proposed to hold council
with Red Cloud ana other chiefs he exceeded
his authority. The impression left by
Baldwin's testimony was that q fierce war
of magnificent proportions ragged at Pine
Ridge. and had It not been for the military
display made by General Miles the trouble
would be still raging with all it's ferceness
The object to be gained was that if war
ragged and Casey was spy. then PlcMty
Horses was justified in the killing of the
lieutenant.

Prince Bismarck would have called the

sldlzing the purchasable press in their
interest. Since that time the world has
been edited from time to time by circum-
stantial accounts of the most tremend-
Gus runs of luck on the part of frequent
ers of the Monte Carlo tables, and VIM
nings have been reported as$of common
occurrence sufficient TO break the bank
though it had been backed by the Roths-
childs. That these ingenious bats have
been swallowed is apparent from the in
creased attendance at the salons.
The latest story of the kind was to the
erect that the Duchess of Montrose had
left Monte Carlo richer by 100000 francs
than when she arrived there Follow
ing upon this announcement came a rush
to the famous gambling place, the
crowds being larger than ever known
there before. The receipts OF the bank

Concentration of tl,c Troops.

Another step in furtherance Of the policy
inaugurated several years ago of conccn-

taken, an order having gone forth from the

of Forts Lincoln, n D., Lewis, Col. and
Shaw, Mont. The troops stationed at these
posts will be assigned to the larger posts
within their respective departments in tile
discretion of the several commanders. The
settlers in the vicinity of these posts have
been fighting hard to prevent their chief
source OF revenue being taken away from
them. but the secretary has stood firmly by

are put in readiness to accommodate the

These mails were intended for the Brit

An additional $500. 000 must be raised by
the Columbian Exposition company at Chi

terprise have the authorities become
that they feel it will be necessary to raise
this additional amount in order to carry out
continually growing plans. The matter has
been under advisemcnt fer some months,
but through fear that any effort to raise
additional funds should be nlisconstrued by
enemies of the fair no specific action was
taken until now. The ways and means
committee took the first step in this dircc-
zion, it is understood. by agreeing to recon-
mend that a bureau OF subscription he
organized. The movement in New York
city to provide q fund to insure proper rep-
feSentatlon from the state at the worlds
lair has led to q general discussion Of tile
SUBJECT. Quite Il number of prominent
citizens agree that for its own credit the
state cannot afford to do otherwise than
make good showing. Many public spirited
men favor providing a fund by voluntary
subscription. but they think this should not
be confined to the city.
