Many a time what promised to be a

long and tedious hunt for the proper

one kong rumbling growl Of profanity

timid minnows he wants to scoop up
out OF the stream at one dash and then

no hurry.
They dart away at the sight of his
unfamiliar scoop net. and lie under the
farther bank. wriggling their little taih
tantalizingly. Now the fisherman wishes
he had taken time by the forelock and
secured his bait on the day before be

Schofield Friday morning received a

ing that 3 .OOO Indian men, women snd
children, and including about 600
bucks. are now encampad in a section
of the bed lau de- about fifteen miles
from Pine Ridge agency aud there l.

to surrender without a struggle. The

scribes As somewhat like the lava beds

their final fight. II is an excellent
position from sn IDdian standpoint,
but there are now no avenues Of
escape, all having been closed by the
trOoDs. General Miles says the In
dians have gathered some cattle and
provisions aud appear to be deter
mined to make their fight for supre-
macy At this point. He says he will
make another effort to get them back
to the agency without bloOdshed and
In order to do so he has established q
regular siege around this stronghold.
GENERAL BROOKE STILL IN THE
FIELD.
General Scho6sld said Friday morn
Ing that the rsDort telegraphed from
the west that General Brooke had
been relieved from bis command at
Pine Ridge is untrue. General Miles,
he added, has charge Of the campaign,
ard ss IL had progressed be had sta
toned himself at the most convenient
points for general communication with
his forces. At first he remained at
Chicago. where he had almost unlim-
tied means for telegraphing. Then he
removed his headquarters first TO St.
Paul aud then to Rapid City. so as to
get the quickest word possible to the
whole body OF troops moving in from
all directions. Finally, when couceu-
trsti"n had so far progressed as to
bring the forces within a comparative
ly small compass, be had moved again
to Pine Ridge. and now has command,
as before, Of the entire body OF troops,
hut at the point Of concentration. This
scheme. General SchOfield says. was
rendered necessary by conditions
which required the congregation Of
forces from many points and over such
great distances. General Brooke. who
has been on the field while General
Miles has been msnoeuveriDg i'm this
wav To get IN Pine Ridge simultane-
ously with the bulk Of the troops, has
now left that point for some other
place on the scene Of sction snd proba-
hly has charge of a section of the
forces. General Schofeld attributes
the rumor 10 popular mlsrepresenta-
tion Of the military movement, that
IL very easily explained.

In the central police court to answer the
triple charges of misappropriating

office by loaning city money out at in

Bardsley has been confined to his bed
suffering from prostration incident to
the terrible mental strain that he has
been under for the past few months,

TO CONTEST ECKLoFE,s SEAT.
Both Sides Claim That Illegal Votes
Were Cast.

The election of Il. j. Eckloff as a new
member to the City Council from the
First ward will probably be contested.
The friends of Councilman Woodward
have sounded the tocsin and driven the
tomahawlI into the war post up to the
handle. When tho election aftermath
began to simmer down to cold facts yes
terday tho rumors which were put into
circulation directly the result was an
nounced Thursday night developed
something of tangible nature, al
though MIR. Woodward personally had
arrived at no conclusion. His nearest
friends and supporters urged him to
contest Mr.. Ecklof's right to a seat in
the Council, and it is a practically set
tied affair that the court will be called
on to decide.
Much of the future course of action,
it is understood, will depend upon the
showing made by the official count.
When this is done and, owing to the
small margin of only one vote and Mr.
Woodward's supporters claiming several
Ecklotf ballots will be thrown out, the
first result may be changed with u
balance for the opposition. In that
case, OF course, say the Woodward men.
IL
from their side, but Mr.. Ecklof, it is
said. also claims that he can produce
evidence, which will easily outweigh
the temporary advantage which might
be gained.
Should the case go into the courts for
settlement, the ground of contest, so
far as can be seen now, will be that
several illegal votes were cast for Eek
loif, when the voters were DISTINGUISHED
on account of being Second ward resi-
dents
One case, which the Woodward sup
porterS are counting on to cut down
Ecklotf's lead is that of voter who
claims that he cast his ballot for both

similar nature are claimed by Mr..

which will come to the front at the
proper moment.
MIR. Eckloff said yesterday that his
friends know of at least three ballots
cast for Thomas and Woodward, when
the voters themselves had no loyal right
to do SO and felt confident the official
count would show him to be elected. No
action looking towards contest is
likely before tho official count is an
