lighted up with something of that latent
fire which slumbered in his deep nature.
He simply said that his two children were
killed near there, and the subjectthereafter
was carefully avoided. 1t had been the
intention of the Reno survivors to invite
Gall to visit with them the battlefield again
June Is, 1896, but he will not be there it
seems. His eloquent description of Clusters
last fight will never be forgotten by those
who heard it.
In recent years, Chiefs Gall an d John
Grass have been Indian chief justices in
the court of the Sioux nation at Standing
Rock. l have frequently seen Gall SEN
tence an Indian to saw anywhere from
one to ten cords of wood. go to Jail for
thirty days or pay a line. His knowledge
of law was limited, and his ideas of jul
dicial procedure crude, but he had a judi
cial mind and seemed to get at the truth in
a case unerringly, and render judgment ac-
cordingly.
What Landlord Patterson Is Doing.
The Sheridan House is to be all dressed
up for the coming legislature. Landlord
Patterson a few days ago vent to st.
Paul, where he purchased new carpets,
beds, bedding and other furniture to
more completely furnish the house, &C.
cording to his ideas of the way it should
be done, and a general o%verhauling of
the house is 10y going on. A part of
the furniture arrived today and is being
put in place, and more is to follow. I'm
q~uestionably, when the work is complete
the Sheridan House will present an ap-
pearance acceptable to all. Mr.. Patter-
son has recently employed two first-class
cooks, who are now installed, and also
brought with him a corps of trained
walters from St. Paul, to attend to the
wants of his guests this winter. From
present indications the house will be full
from cellar to garrett, all the rooms with
guests and the cellar with the best stock
of provisions and supplies it has con
tanned for years. Mr.. Patterson is deter
mined that nothing shall be left wanting
to make the Sheridan frst-class in every
respect, and it is destined under his man
agement to become one of the most pop
ular houses on the line of the Northern
Pacific.
He is deserving of great credit for the
preparation he is making to receive the
members of the coming legislature, and
the visiting public in general, and the
capital city may we'll be proud of it's ex-
cellent hotel facilities. The steam heat
ing apparatus has been thoroughly over
hauled, and by the system now in force,
the heat can be so regulated as to make
the whole house comfortable during the
most severe weather. We don't believe
that any hotel from st. Paul to Helena
sets a better table than the Sheridan is
now setting, and Mr.. Patterson promises
that it shall be eve better during the
session of the legislature, and when he
has gotten into place all the improve
ments intended to be made in connec-
ton with the running of the house.
The house is receiving a large number
OF application for rooms, also for table
board, from members and others who
will visit the capital city this winter, and
the only question now bothering MI.
Patterson is whether or not he will have
sufficient room to accommodate all who
desire to stay at the Sheridan. It would
seem from present indications that Mr..
Patterson is now engaged IN the business
which is most suited to him, and one
which he is thoroughly competent to
conduct.
