WHY RED MAN DANCED.

Secretary Noble in his recent report
comments quite freely on the recent In
dian trouble, and ascribes the outbreak
to the following eighth conditions
First-The fact that they were war
like Indians and had record of victory
in battle under Sitting Bull.
Second-rhe excitement growing on:
of the messiah craze.
Third-A feeling of unrest engender-
ed by factional opposition by the leaders
Of the non progressive element to the
act Of 1889 for the reduction Of the great
Sioux reservation.
Fourth-Falure to receive, through
want OF appropriations by congress. ful-
fillment of promises made by the Sioux
commission. This failure greatly dis
couraged those who signed, and intensi-
fed the opposition of those who refused
to sign
Fifth Dissatisfaction because Of the
statement that their agreement under
the act named prevented the transfer Of
band of Indians from the Rosebud to
the Pine Ridge agency. The location of
this band that had drawn rations at the
Rosebud fell, under the agreement,
within the Pine Ridge diminished re-
serve, and the law declared that to be
the place for drawing their ratons.
Sixth-Failure of crops for 1885 by
negle and for 1890 by reason of seri-
Gus drouth.
Seventh-Diminished appropriations
for their subsistence and failure of ra-
tons improvidently used issued after
short crops
Eighth-Delay'in appropriation until
August 10, 1890, providing for the In
dians, and preventing Indians from en-.
gaging in their usual employment of
freighting supplies during the summer
and fall months.

Jeopardized BY Fire.

Never in its history has our city been
nearer total destruction by fire than it
was Thursday evening about five o'clock
AT that time sounding Of the alarm call
ed the attention of the people in the
business part of the town 10 III. III.
Richardson's residence on Sixth street,
which had taken fire from a stove pipe
which runs through the roof of the
building and constitutes the only chim-
ney there. The fire was discovered
almost as soon as the timbers were ig.
nited, there were a good many people
on the street, and few moments earn
est work extinguished the flames. 1t
was clear case of providential inter-
ference, or another sample of the good
luck we have always had with fires. 1t
is generally conceded that had that one
building been consumed there would
haye been hardly a business house
standing in Custer next morning. The
night was cold one and violent wind
was blowing from the northwest. The
house is situated in the northwest
corner of the business part Of the town,
and is closely connected with continu-
Gus row Of wooden buildings. The wind
would have carried the flames with ter
rble rapidity, and our fate would have
been worse than that of Buffalo Gap.
II would have only been another in
stance where the tin chimney got in its
fatal work. The CHRONICLE has been
singing little song about chimneys Of
this kind and defective fues, and doubt
less some of our readers are weary Of it,
but We intend to keep it up until some
thing is accomplished. Nobody can
deny the danger We are in, and prob
ably any of US would prefer the expendi
ture Of a few dollars to a disastrous con-
hagration. We need water works, fire
engines and all that sort of thing, and
we need them badly, but if they can't
be had right away, we can at least re.
moye one Of the prime causes of the
danger from the fire fend. The city
council meets this evening, and the least
the citizens of this town can do is to see
that some action is taken for the exami-
nation Of the chimneys in these wooden
rows, and the condemnation of the de-
fectige ones. Wake up! Take this mat
ter in hand. Draft petition, circulate
it among the business men and lay it
before the council to night. Stay with
it and don't rest until the evil is elimi.

NAV Build West.

Chamberlain, S. d., Nov. 27.-An or
der has been received here from the
headquarters of the Illinois Central rail
road in New York City, asking for
samples of clay found along the Missouri
river in this vicinity. 1t was always be-
lieved that the Illinois Central would
finally extend their line from Sioux
Falls to this city with the ultimate in
tention to building across the ceded
Sioux lands to the Black Hills. The in-
terest manifested in the mineral pro-
ducts of this section strengthens the
above belief The immense Of stock an
nually shipped from west Of the Mis-
souri, is also thought to be an important
factor in this compan US interest in this
section.

A Sad Accident.

A very distressing accident occurred
on Wednesday evening too late for in
sertion in the Herald of that day. Philip
Henry Eiche, one of the workmen on
the construction gang who have been at
work for a day or two filling In the grade
near the Union depot was busily en-
gagged shoveling dirt on the fiat cars just
south of town, when, without warning,
the bank which was only about six feet
high caved in and covered him up just
as he was in the act OF STOPPING to take
a shovelful of dirt. Ready hands quickly
responded, and in minute or two after
it occurred his lead and chest were un-
buried so that he could breathe. He
was soon all uncovered but only breath.
ed about 20 minutes He was, brought
to town right away and 1 ee Calhoun

Look Out for Thieves.

There is an enormous amount ofsteal-
ing going on throughout the stock rails
ing region of the northwest, especially
among range horses. A few days ago
Mr.. j. NJ. Woods received word from
Livingston, Montana, that horse bear
ing the acorn brand had been disposed
of in that place. Some other stockmen
have heard of stock turning up away
over in the eastern part of the state, and
others away down in Nebraska. Con-
certed action among stockmen is neces-
sary in order to check the wholesale
stealing now in progress, and it is prob
able that liberal dose of hemp will
have to be meted to some Of the parties
now in the business before they can be
reformed. The situation demands
prompt and decisive action and, our
word for it, before long something will
drop."-Black Hills Stock man.

A FELINE sNAKE.krLLER.

An Alabama Cat That Was Death on
JI..E Reptiles.
"Rattlesnakes may charm birds, rab-
bits and dogs, but they can't charm cats. {"
The speaker was George Stearnes, a
farmer from Walker County, who was
telling snake stories while waiting for
train at the depot To prove his asser-
tions Stearnes related the following in
cident:
He owns large black cat, says the
St. Louis Globe Democrat, which kills
every snake and lizard it can find. The
other day he saw the cat creeping
through the grass toward some kind Of
prey and watched it. A few feet away
he discovered large rattlesnake coiled
ready to strike and it's bead-like ewes
fixed on those Of the cat. The head of
the snake was making the peculiar
swaying motion (which is part of the
charm that brings birds and rabbits will
ing victims to the mouth of the hideous
reptiles. Stearnes says he saw, at a
glance the snake was trying to charm
the Cat. and, as he was not much at
tached to the feline, he stood still to
await results. With its body close to
the ground, and its tail swaying back
and forth, the cat continued to creep
slowly forward. It's eyes were fixed on
those of the snake, as though the two
were testing their powers of mesmer-
ISM Slowly and cautiously the cat
crept closer and closer to the coiled rep
tile, and it really seemed for awhile
that 1T had fallen victim to the
charming powers of the rattler When
within four feet of the snake it stopped,
placed It's feet in position for a spring,
and remained motfonless for an instant.
The snake seemed surprised, and
changed its position slightly. This was
the opportunity the cat was waiting for.
Quick as lightning the feline }eaped
and caught the snake by the mock with
teeth and claws, and, after rolling over
and over on the ground for two minutes,
the snake was dead The cat did not
release its hold until long, after the
snake ceased to move, and then, as it
walked away. would occasionally look
back to see If there was any suspicious
movements. ..... ...... ...r4 -''..

Part OF Redwood Giant from Tulare fog
,.E .. Chicago. ...
The section of the big redwood tree
for exhibition at the worlds fair at Chi
cago is frem the largest and most per-
fect Big Treep in California, cut for
the purpose from the mammoth forest
in Tulare County, Cal. 1t measures
ninety-nine feet in circumference at the
base. The height of this monster speci-
mon was 312 feet being 173 feet TO- the
first limb, which limb measures three
feet in diameter. Tho tree is supposed
to be nearly 5000 years old, taking each
concentric ring to be of ono yeas's
growth. 1t is to be taBon from an alti-
tude of G,325 feet above the sea level,
and thirty-three miles from tho nearest
railroad.
Ten expert woodsmen, says the New
Orleans Times-Demorrat, have been cut
ting the tree since March 10. AS this
tree was taken from the MIDST of q
dense forest, it was found necessary to
build a road for four miles, as nothing
but rrail EXISTED, leading from the
tree into the county road. In clearing
q way nearly 400 ordinary-sfzed trees
had to be Gu. down, huge rocks" had to
be blasted, number Of bridges built,
and many other obstacles had 80 be
overcome in order to land this giant of
the forest at the nearest railroad point.
Part Of the tree has been cut out and
placed on hinges, so as to swing open
and shut like door. The interior has
been followed to accommodate Visitors,
of whom over 100 will bo able to enter
and remain inside Of the tree trunk Mt
the same time. This exhibit will have
