PINE RIDGE, Dec. 29.-Curiers
from the Bad Lands who arrived
here this morning announced that a
bloody and desperate conflict oc-
cured this morning on Porcupine
Greek between the United States
troops and the hostiles. Big Foot's
band had been surrounded by the
troops, and when the former was
being disarmed by Colonel FORSYTH
bloody encounter took place.
Captain Wallace, commanding K
Troop of the Seventh Cavalry, was
killed; Lieutenant Darlington, of
the same regiment, was shot in the
arm. Several soldiers were killed
and number of Indians bit the
dust.
The greatest excitement prevails
here among agency employees, and
also among the friendlies, many of
whom are relatives of the young
bucks now on the war path. Grave
fears are entertained for the safety
of this post. Details of the battle
are expected hourly. The courier
who brought the news could only
give the facts relating to the onset.
The above news was substantiated
by an official dispatch received at
headquarters of the Department Of
the Platte. 1t caused a great deal
of excitement and regret. 1t had

SHOT DOWN BY A EUNGARIAN.
Three Lives Quickly Sacrificed.


WILKEs-BARRE, Dec. 29.-The
little mining hamlet known as
Broderick's Patch, which is located
under the shadow of the mammoth
breaker of the Wyoming Valley
/ Coal Company, was thrown into a
state of excitement to-day over y
most brutal and terrible tragedy,
which has resulted in the death of
three persons by gunshot wounds.
The first telephone reports were
the most misleading, announcing
that Michael Culley had shot his
wife and two Hungarians over
money matters, afterwards attempted
suicide. The Associated Press rep
resentative Immediately visited the
scene, about six miles from this city,
where he learned that John Tirello,
Hungarian from Edgerton, who
had been in the hamlet for a few
days, entered the saloon OF Michael
Curley, and in the presence of the
latter's five year old daughter,
Mamie, who was holding an infant,
shot Mrs. Curley, who was working
at a wash tub in the front part of
the bar room, and then shot Curley,
who had just came down stairs.
Tirello next turned and shot a
man named Michael Hodok, a Hun
garian, who died instantly, and
then laying the revolver upon the
PROSTATE form of Curley decamped
for parts unknown. He has been
traced as far as the stone bridge at
Wyoming three miles away.
The shot entered Mrs. Curley's
head from the back, and she died in
stantly. Curley was shot through
the forehead and lived two hours.
The body Of Curley lies in the sa>
loon where the deed was committed.
The body of Hodok was taken to
the residence of bis brother, a short
distance away, while the remains of
Mrs. Curley were carried to the resi-
dence of her mother. who also keeps
a saloon.
There was apparently only five
persons in the room at the time of
the shooting, Curley, his wife,
Hodok, Tirello and the little girl.
The first three are dead and Tirel-
10 has thus far escaped the officers.
The child is too young to make
an intelligable statement. The
theory that Tirello did the shooting
Is most reasonable, but there are
few persons who hold that Curley
shot Hodok in an alteration, and
Tirello who was implicated, did the
rest of the shooting. The former
theory is probably correct.

It seems to be pretty well settled
that Governor Hill will not succeed
Senator Evarts. The Governor has
apparently made up his mind that
the Senatorship would practically
shelve him. Therefore, he'll have
none of it, although he will con-
tinue to manifest lively interest In
the process of naming candidate
In spite of the warnings that
come up from all over the country
where Democrats most do dwell,
that the name of Cleveland stands
for Democracy these days, the Gov
ernor continues to consider himself
q candidate for the Presidency. Ii
has been political gossip for some
time that he intends to try it again
take the nomination for Governor
next year for the third time, and
hazard his Presidential aspirations
upon the result. The Governor
personal organ, the Albany Times,
threw out the suggestion with the
object of drawing the fire of the OPP
position and rounding up its magni-
tude. 1t has succeeded fairly well,
and dosen't seem to scare worth
cent. In a review of the situation
it remarks:
Ah, but the Mugwumps! They
will knife David, says one of the
Republican editors. But that is
just what happened in 1888, we re-
ply, and the knife was not long
enough or sharp enough to make a
scratch. One of the best reasons
given for again placing Governor
Hill in the field is that his candid
acy would happily rid us of that
parasitical nuisance, the Mugwumps.
Drive them off send them away,
eliminate and Danish them forever.
1t is a consummation most devoutly
to be wished. Governor Hill would
make campaign which would for
ever emancipate the Democratic
party of New York from their as
sociation, from their Vaccinations
and their treachery and send them
back where they belong-to the Re-
publicahs. We repeat that in our
Judgment the denomination of David
b. Hill for Governor furnishes the
true key to the situation.
If it is Governor Hill who is thus
talking through his newspaper
organ it would seem that he is more
earnestly considering the PROPOSE
tion than most people have given
him the credit for. But in making
up his estimates he will do well not
to confine the opposition to the Re-
publicaps and Mugwumps. Some
room must lie left on his slate for
calculations regarding the attitude
Of the thick and thin Cleveland men.
New York is still too small place
for Cleveland and Hill both, and
this fact may become strikingly ap-
parent as 1892 approaches.

Legislatures. 1t is this belief which
leads them to appoint Legislative
committees to attend at State and
the national capitals to urge the
passage of bills in the interest of
wage workers. To further this
Legislation and to decide on the
measures to be pre- sented annual
sessions of delegates, representing
the various local and district as
semblies, are held in nearly every
State. Such a congress will meet in
Albany January 13 'for the purpose
of advancing the best interests of
the Knights of Labor, both politi
cally and otherwise"
T. B. Mcguire is president of the
congress and Joseph r. Manson, of
Troy, is secretary. The schedule of
lsubjects that will come before the
body for action will be the abolition
of the contract labor system in the
prisons and reformatories of the
State, the prevention of the employ
ment OF Pinkerton cor other armed
Ehirelings" in strikes, the amend
ment of the Weekly Payment law so
as to apply to railroad corporations,
the amendment or revocation of
section 16S of the Penal code (Con-
spiracy law, the abolition of the
contract system on all State work,
the supplying Of all freight cars
with automatic airbrakes and safety
couplings, the equalization of taxes,
the passage of a ten hour surface
railroad bill, providing for uni>
form system OF text books in the
schools OF the State, and to reduce
the legal rate Of interest. The
Knights intend to pay special at
tention to the New York Central
for its prosecution of members of
the order and ono of the subjects
scheduled for discussion is: "That
everything in our power should he
done to have the property of the
State of New YORK, now illegally
held by the New York Central Rail
road, returned to the State" The
extension of the weekly payment
law to cover railroad corporations is
another subject in which the Central
is interested, as is the ten hour sur
face railroad bill.
The congress of local and district
assemblies will be called on to con-
slider a law ''to prevent the bribery
of State officers by railroad or other
corporations, such as giving railroad
passes to legislators or other State
employees" and the sending of
messages 10y such free of charge by
telegraph companies. As the con-
gress is the first of three conven-
lions of workingmen to be held in
Albany in January, whatever it
does will have an influence on the
others, an. although they may not
unite in any demands for legisla-
ton, they will instruct their several
committees to urge such measures.
This will particularly apply to the
contract labor system in prisons,
Pinkerton men ard the conspiracy
law amendment.-Er.

The following is from the speech
Of an Arizona legislator:
"The democrat party" said he has
never dared to take affirmative action
upon any public question. Have you
forgotten that the only democratic
president we have ever had in the past
thirty years has denounced in the most
scath,ug terms this Wholesale swindle
known as the unlimited coinage of
silver? Have you forgotten that the
greatest man in ths democratic party
today. and the one man who has the
ear of that party. has denounced free
coinage as fraud? The time will
come when ever. democrat will do as
he did, when Grover Cleveland tar
tied the country hy his first free trade
message, just as he did in his letter of
day before yesterday. He will go
down on his knees and how before the
superior craftsmanship and the greater
influence aid power of man who
darcs to he honest at tune when

The failure Of the legislature TO
make an appropriation for the worlds
fair is perhaps the hardest blow our
state has yet received. While partial
crop failures in some localities have
done the state some injury, this is only
local, and large portion of the state
is IN as good a condition as any eastern
state. South Dakota has an abun-
dance of resources that are only watt
ing for capital and labor to develop
them to make her one Of the wealth.

TO induce this capital and labor it is
necessary to advertise what our re.
sources are, and to prove to investors
that there are plenty of opportunities
for profitable investment. This can
now only be done by private enter
prise. when it is the province of the

Regarding the movement to secure
representation Of the Black Hills at
the worlds fair the Minnekahta Herald
suggests meeting Of representatives
of the various Hills counties at Hot
Springs on April 18th. The Journal,
as it has stated from the first, believes
a Black Hills exhibit should he made.
1t belieyes the Hills can and will make
a good showing at the fair, but it
would seem to be we'll to wait until
word can be had from South Dakota's
worlds fair commissioners regarding
project that is now being talked up Of
making an exhibit for the whole state.
April 18th might he good date for .
meeting of representative men of tho
Hills, but possibly 1T is better that tho
time of such meeting be not yet fixed.
However, within few days lnforma-
ton may be at hand that will make
more clear what is the best thing to do
and when will be the best time to do it.

The STAR is unable to see what good

There is nesting called, to be held
in Yankton, May "a, for the purpose
of adopting plan for an exhibit
at the worlds fair. It is suggested
that the Black Hills delegates meet at
Hot Springs as already announced and
arrange for seperate and distinct ex-
hibit Of the Black Hills section. We
have very little in common with the
eastern part of the state. as the Hill
exhibit will consist mainly of ores,
metallic specimens, coal and stone.
Would it not be we'll for the Hills
people 30 get together and formulate
some definite plans for an exhibit, and
then when the representation went to
Yankton they would he able to state
explicitly what is desired by the Hills
section of the state.
