Word came TO Pierre on Monday that
four cowboys had been killed by Indians
At Humphreys ranch on White river
some twenty miles north OF Pine Ridge
agency, and that the agency police over
took and killed three of the murderer>
but TWO escaped. Particulars are hard to
get but il is doubtless a local quarrel of
some kind as the other Indians take no
s especial interest in the matter. The
scene of the killing is probably two nun
dred miles from Pierre and no direct word
has yet been received
w. l. Walker, OF this city, is well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Humphrey, at whose
ranch the four men were killed by Ia
dians. Mr.. Humphrey now has about
1000 head of Mr.. Walkers cattle at the
ranch in question. and they took beef
contracts at ihe same time. Mr.. llumph-
rev supplying Pine Ridge aud MIR Walk
{ or the Chcyenn. agency. 1t is generally
believed here that the killing was merely
the result o! Il spree or quarrel Of some
kind aud that there will be no further
trouble.
IS The oldest inhabtant" can hardly re-
member of time when such cold, stormy
weather lasted AS long as during the past
! two weeks. While the mercury hasn't fall
,len as low mere by ten degrees as at some
parts Of the state, and by twenty degrees
rs in some parts of Minnesota, North Da-
kOt0 and Montana, it has been cold
enough, aud there has been much more
than the usual quantity of wind. The
small amount of snow on the ground
n doubtless saved mncn suffering.
81. The rumor that W. l. Walker proposed
n to return 10 Omaha to live was apparent
4 ~ without foundation, as he Informed the
4 FREE PRESS that his interests here are so
heavy that he could not leave if he want
E ed to, and that lie didn't want to. He has
the contract for supplying Cheyenne
agency with beef, and left for the agency
& yesterday 10 oversee the regular monthly
delivery.
jess John w. S. Reige, of Findlay, Ohio,
who spent last week in Pierre looking up
ia The matter of Investments, returned home
B this week. lie called at the FREE Press
office and had Il pleasant visit with the
senior, who was raised in the same vicn-
fty, and they discovered that they had
sf many friends in common Mr.. Rcigle is u
surveyor and very pleasant gentleman.
