is at Rushville, in which he says the ap-
prehension on the part Of residents in
the small towns along the northwestern

Settlers for miles around have focked to
towns, fearing an attack from rowing
bands of Indians, and the settlements
are menaced. Many trains arriving in
Lincoln Tuesday brought one or more
companies of the Nebraska National
Guard en- route to this locality. Prac-

Col. Forsytne's Case.
Numerous kilograms are passing be-

These kilograms are not made public,
but it is known that an important tele-
gram from Gen. Miles about the For
sythe case was laid before the cabinet
Tuesday by Secretary Proctor.
The contents could not be positively
ascertained, but army officials who are

that Gen. Miles does not endorse the

pending him he simply carried out the

skins Are WOrsted.
CAMP NEAR WOUNDED KNEE CREEK,
S. Oak, Jan. 7.-Another engagement
took place at this point Monday morn
ing. AS a number of wagons with sup
plies We're known to be coming ON the
road from Rapid City to this point it
was thought best to send out detach-
ment to protect them. So thirty men
We're Immediately started down the road
They had not gone over ten miles when
they discovered the wagons, thirteen in
number drawn up in the form Of u
square and being attacked by band of
about fifty Indians.
The detachment put their horses to a
full gallop, the Indians seeing Which,
withdrew to an adjoining hill. The de-
tachment now joined the teamsters, who
numbered only nineteen. Sacks of
grain, bundles and boxes We're thrown
up in front of the besieged as breast
works. The Indians, noticing this, inn
mediately returned and commenced the
attack, circling around the wagons, but
keeping at distance Of 500 yards As a
result the shots from their Winchesters
were not effective, often falling short Of
the mark
The carbines of the soldiers were used
with much more effect, a number of In
dams being seen to fall from their
horses Meantime their number was
augmented until they numbered some
one hundred warriors in all, besides
some they had posted off ON the adjoin-
ing hills One soldier, during the COM
nencement of the fight, while arranging
he breastworks, was shot in the
shoulder but not seriously wounded.

Took Desperate Chances.

A soldier was detailed to return to
camp and report that the detachment
was besieged by the Indians and that
they We're attacking the wagon train,
He selected fast horse and made a
break at an opportune moment, the at
tention of the Indians being attracted to
movements made on the other side. As
soon as the object of the ruse was seen,
about twenty Indians gave chase to
Private Collins and fired shot after shot
at him. but as he had a fast horse he
soon distanced them. They then re-
turned with the others to The attack.
Three more Indians were seen to fall
from their horses and were picked up
and carried away by their companions.
Four cavalry horses werese shot
and killed, as We're a large
number of Indian ponies, While the
large body of Indians was being engaged
by the majority of the soldiers and citi-
zens, few Indians scattered about dis
mounted, and getting as close as posi-
BILE. began firing into the horses and try
ing to stampede them. This they nearly
succeeded in doing several times, and
had not some of the soldiers been guard
ing and holding the horses they would
undoubtedly have succeeded i'll attain
inc their object.

Reinforocments Arrive.

BY this time things were getting
pretty hot for the besieged party and
shots were flying as thick as hailstones,
and it was hard to distinguish the In
dians through the smoke The citizens
had been fighting them for six hours
and the soldiers about three hours A
little before A o'clock p. m a commo-
ton was seen among the Indians. and
they gradually retreated when it was
seen that troops We're coming at full
charge to the rescue.
Everyone gave three resounding
cheers as the troops rode up, the Indians
scattering in all directions, and Troop +
giving chase. They We're pursued till
near nightfall when the chase was
abandoned the wagon trains and ever
one returning to camp bringing the dead
Indians and some ponies with them.

HERES NERVE.
Carl Schmidt Appropriates Wilson
Browns Horse and Buggy With
the "Intention" OF Taking it
to the Owner.

Carl Schmidt was taken into charge Satur-
day night by Marshal Burns 6n the assertion
of Wilson Brown, farmer living about
three miles east of town, that Schmidt had
stolen his horse and buggy.
The trial was set for hearing by Mayor
Meekison Tuesday morning. Prosecutor
Ragan appeared for the State while Cahill Il
Donovan defended. From the testimony
submitted the following is culled.
Brown stopped in the Cooperative store
for few minutes and upon coming out his
horse and buggy, which he claimed was
hitched, in front of this store, had disappeared.
In company with John Rasey he instituted a
search and finally left for home on foot sup.
posing that the horse had strayed home
Arriving there and no horse to be found,
they procured another team and started for
Napoleon. About one mile from home they
met the missing horse driven by Carl
Schmidt. Jumping out Brown accused him
of theft at the same time stopping the horse.
Schmidt denied the charge whereupon
Brown in the language of witness "called
him liar and plugged him one". Schmidt
did not plug back nor attempt to run away.
All three, after going back to the farm
came to Napoleon where the supposed crimi-
nal was turned over to Marshal Burns. His
story for the questionable transaction ls, that
he was walking down the tow-path towards
home, living near Cotton, when the horse
with buggy attached overlook him; that he
knew all the horses down in that section OF
the country. For this reason, thinking that
the horse had undoubtedly strayed, he
turned the horse around and drove back to
Ma. .oleon. When he reached Perry street the
horse showed disposition to cross the river
Thinking that it knew its home he gave il
the reins with the result as mentioned from
the story of the prosecuting witnesses.
The mayor considered that the evidences
was sufficient to bind the man over to Com
mon Pleas Court in the sum of 800 bal
which he failed to furnish. The sheriff hal

Uncle John Werlich, of Washington tp.,
one of the best Democrats and iolliest farm
ers in Henry County, was circulating about
Napoleon Monday getting rid of some of
his surplus money in paying taxes, etc. He
was welcome caller at the NORTHWEST Of
flee also, and it may not be out of place to
state that Uncle Werlich has been reader
of this paper since its birth in 1852. He has
taken it ever since and could not keep up
the farm without it. AS story teller he
is success, and we believe that he has a
new one to tell every time we meet. On
Monday he told of the hired help who was
instructed to clip the tails from some
young pigs while he would be absent from
home for some days. The old man had
no sooner got out of sight than Pat(for the
help was an Irishman) commenced his la
Dor. He caught the pigs one by one and
clipped about an inch from each tail. This
he kept up at intervals until the tails
reached proper proportions. On the EN-.
ployer's return, he discovered the little bits
of tail lying around and enquired of Pal
why he had cut the tails into such small
pieces. Said Pat: ''Be dad, sure and
| thought it would hurt the poor pigs toe
much to cut it all off at once, SO cut thin
| off in bits +! "
