Moving the Indians.

The interior department is now talk
ing of removing the Northern Cheyennes
from their present reservation in Mon
tana, to Pine Ridge, and the Lower
Brules to the Rose Bud agency. Force
will be used if necessary. The govern
ment will then throw open the Lower
Brule reservation. DR.. M'Gillycuddy,
who claims to have suggested the re-
moval of the Northern Cheyennes to Pine
Ridge, says, while the Pine Ridge Indians
will not object to the Cheyennes, the
latter may object to come, and if Secre-
tary Noble attempts to remove the
Brules to Rosebud he will have a lively
time, as he believes it neither possible
nor just. The Rose Buds do not want
them and the Brules don't want to go.

A drunken farmer riding in a wagon
drawn by two bulls created no little
amusement by his antics on Main street
last evening The bulls evidently tiring
OF the attention the outfit and their
drunken master was attracting, started
on a run down the street, While the
gait they struck was not as fast as that
OF the express tram, still it was pretty
fast, and in their mad fight the animals
narrowly escaped wrecking the wagon
which they were hauling against some OF
the numerous vehicles which were on the
street at the time.-Deadwood Pioneer
