eaWtsll's Counsel 0sys state Wit
ness Made Mistake.

Dover, N. H., Jan. 4.-In y Boston
Herald special the following stHry 10 given
to the public by Sawtell's counsel: In the
trial here 1t will be remembered that Eiram
Ticker vas brought In ss witness to contra
dict N Woodman and w. b. Wentworth
in regard to the day on which the load Of
mixed lumber WAS hauled by the Willeys.
II vas agreed by all parties that Wed.
nesdsy, the ffth Of February, Was the frs.
day that the Willeys went on wheels
Woodman and Wentworth testified that
they must have returned to the yard not
later than o'clock. hence could not have
been on the road at . 80 o'clock. Wiley
testified that he met Sawteli when he was
hauling one Of the mixed loads, and that
particular load was measured and taken &C.
count Of next day. Hiram Ticker testified
that he measured that load on the 9th; the
Willeys said they hauled IL on the 9th
Woodman and Wentworth said the "pro-
miscuous" load was hauled on the 9th.
Ticker testified that this promiscuous load
was hauled on the fret day that the Willeys
went on wheels, which everybody agreed
WAS on Wednesday. the. 9Th; that he meas
ured and took account of 1t on the next
day after 1t was hauled, and that Went
worth was in the yard on the evening Of the
day that that they first went on wheels and
uploaded the promiscuous load. Went
worth testified that he did unload the pro-
miscuous, but that II was on the evening
Of the 9th, and 20 1t appeared BY
bis and Woodman's books. Now. it
turns out on examination Of the
books, that Ticker did not work there at all
Feb. 6, and 80 could not have taken ac-
count of it on that day. He did work on
the 7th. The time book shows and Wood
mans book shows that the load in question
was measured and taken account of on that
day, so il the Willeys met the Sawtells on
the day they hauled that load, a. they say
they did, they must have met them on
Thursday the 9Th, not Wednesday, the 9th.
Sawtells counsel says that Ticker now sd-
mits that he was mistaken, and though n
week has now passed since the discovery
was made that he had made . mistake, he
has not attempted TO make any detail or ex
planation. As he was put on the stand by
the 8 ate ~ . man the weight Of whose
honesty weuld ovefbear Wentworth and
Woodman, he will, no doubt, do the honor
able thing and publicly acknowledge biz
mistake. When he comes to rec,ify his
mistake, which ss an honest man be i.
bound 70 do, his story will be . perfect
confirmation of Wentworth and Woodman' :.
story.

10 the Condition at Pine Ridge-Pas.
ticulaTs Just Received.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A special to the Inter-
Ocean from Pine Ridge says; Last night
was one Of feveFish excitement to many at
the Agency. For the first time the squaw
men and half breeds are alarmed, and
remained up all night, fearing that
an attack would be made before morning
The agency is too we'll guarded to permit
any large force approach very close with
out discovery. 1t would be hard to prevent
few daring Indians from creeping up
some OF the numerous fsvines and throw
ing fire arrows in baSns or hsystscks.
Friendly spies say that there are large
number Of warriors in the enemy's camp
who have worked themselves up to con-
dition of frenzy similar 10 that of those
hostiles who committed suicide ut Wounded
Knee. They cay they want to die, aud
are gcing to die while killing white men.
He said two bucks had escaped from the
Wounded Knee fight who swear they will
set the agency on fire and kill the agent
themselves. Gen. Miles has troops all
around the enemy. and could throw them
all in any day and have tremendous bat
tie, but could not prevent small bands from
escaping here and there. They would
have to be followed up by soldiers. which

danger. By holding the troops until
much larger force can be thrown
around the Indinas, the trouble
can be confined to the reserve
The end cannot be reached without one or
more bloody battles. Gen. Miles sent out
a letter yesterday asking for . hearing.
The Indians tore the letter to fragments
and threw them into the fire wing: 1--WE
want no treaty; we are here to fight
Last night several shots were fired by
our pickets, and couple of arrows
we're thrown into the yards. A delegation
of ffiendlies asks that large party be sent
out at once to bid those who d sire to es-
cape from the hostile camp. They claim
that there are 700 or 500 warriors who wish
to return. They either fed through fright
at first or were forced to 90 with the rest.
To let the frierdlies 10 would undoubtedly
preciptste fight and consume several
days valuable time. No decision in the
matter has been made yet. The Indians in
the hostile camp number over 1000 men,
women and children, and represent every
agency in the two Dakotas.
