Home, Field and Forum: A blend of
black currant and gooseberry sounds good
new fruit of this description has lately
bee n produced. The growth of the bush
is like unto the gooseberry species, but the
leaves resemble those OF the currant. The
fruit itself, too, divides the honors, look
ing like small goOseDerries, only in
punches, Ia currant. The taste Of the
goose-currant, or whatever it is called, is
Il mixture OF the two fruits from which it
is descended

charge of felonious assault, fixing bail at
$500 The other three were dismissed, be-

Ell Reno Eagle: Affairs at Darlington
agency are at "A standstill on account OF
the non-appearance Of Lieutenant Hatch,
OF the Eighteenth infantry, the newly APP
pointed Indian agent. No one seems to
know his whereabouts, and as be fails to
answer at roll call he is supposed to be
ut some summer resort on sick leave.
Major Ashley is still acting as agent and
will do so until relieved bu5 he has no
authority to pay out the interest money
due the Cheyeunes and Arapahoes, which
has been ready for distribution for some
ilulS uc now GuCdI1DeQ
Darlington are becoming very impatient
at the delay in receiving their interest
money and some are actually suffering
from the want of the necessaries OF life
The interest is long past due and the In
dams have waited in vain for the past
three weeks for its distribution. There
will probably be several changes OF agents
there before one will be found who will
stick. Army officers are detailed to do
the agents work, without pay other than
that received as officers, and. as there is
great deal of work to De done at the
agency, the officers object TO remaining
there; consequently they neglect the work
in order that they may be relieved and
sent back to the army service. The chances
are that the government will soon get
tired OF army officers as Indian agents.
