I'LL WHY FROM NILG.

Our readers will draw "A breath OF rcllcf thiS
morning TO find that Sngg is safe. or nearly so.
On Monday morning It looked dark for Sngg, ac-
cordng TO all u the dispatches, but now light
is beginning TO break, and we may Neitirc tlc
hope that Sugs will be saved.
All the way from Omaha came tic startling
news % the virtual sacking OF Sneg, aad Omaha
got it from Buffalo, Wyoming and Buffalo,
wyoming, received it direct from Sugg herself, and
all three relays were by the quickest Nnd OF
electric telegraph. Everybody knew that the eyes
Of the whole people were turned Sugg-waII and
that the country hal its hand behind its ear
ready 10 catch the slightest Susg whisper Now
that the great disturbance at Sugg has passed into

trouble in a sharp, short decisive telegram from
Sugg siencl by Frank Morris, dcputy-shcrih; Jack
Fell marshal and another man, who attached ms
last name only, in simple grandeur, Ike royalty
thus: Howe, Justice Of the Peace. Ills dispatch
said that fifteen or sixteen soldiers had risen up
out of somewhere and boldly attacked SuGg.

Door fifteen or sixteen soldiers. Nor did later IN
formation, brought to frightened Buffalo by wing
footed courier, explain this point The courier
said simply that the soldiers began firing without
warning. They never said a word, but just blazcd
away at poor, dcfenccless Sugg then Sugg unable
TO brook such actions, got ont her own weapons
and shot two Of the blood-thrsty soldiers, while an
unfortunate citizen. who got his thumb caught
in the mechanism Of his own Winchester, went
home and tied a white rag around it, Then there
came to Buffalo later reports, whether by the re-

Sugg hadn't been doing anything. But she did do
something without much delay. She got out her
weapons Of defence and cnt down the number OF
cons'ernat ion-producing soldiers, but whether this
left the number two or thirteen or fourteen Is not

from Buffalo for Sugg.
We congratulate Sugg, and hope that she has
