THE HANGING OF w STICKS.
1t Will Occur on Friday Mt Deadwood.
S. ID.
YANKToN, S. D., Dec. 26.-Unlted
States Marshal Peemiller has left here
for Deadwood, where he will superin-
tend the ceremonies of making q good
Indian of Two Sticks, the murderer,
who will be hanged at noon on the 2Sth
inst, unless President Cleveland inter-
feres to prevent it. The Indian chief
is u years old, and he is about ready to
die in the natural curse Of events, but
dislikes to do it in this manner. In a
recent conversation Two Sticks said:
my father and ancestors were all
braves and, of course, they are living
the happy old lives over again, singing
the old songs, dancing the old dances,
killing the buffalo and living the happy
days once more. As for me I can never
join them, for 1 die a coward-like a
common white man."
It is quite improbable that the presi.
dent will interfere to prevent the exc.
cution. Several days g Attorney
General Olney ~telegraphed District At
torney Miller if they cas- of Two
Sticks was one for clemency. MI.
Miller replied, ''It is a clear case for
the hangman."
The murder for which the Indian is
to hang was long premeditated by him
and four other Indians who are now in
the penitentiary for life, they having
confessed. Two Sticks is a Brule'
Sioux, a tribe of the Sioux who have
associated more or less with white men
for 80 years, and who are regarded q;
one of the most civilized tribes along
the Upper Missouri.

trouble Brewing at Thief River Falls
Over Saw Mill Sites.
THIEF River FALLS, Mimi, Dec. o.
There is no cessation to the excitement
and indignation prevailing here over
the recent developments in the Jones'
Meehan mill site controversy, and Sc
rious trouble is anticipated at any time.
The f%orbearance of citizens has been
taxed to its utmost over the p%ersistency
of the Meehans in their attempt to
monopolize with a small mill all the
lumber interests of the place, and delay
and seeming fickleness of the interior
department. in handling the matter is
working an injustice not only to the
Jones syndicate but to this city, and
the entire northern part Of the state.
Both sides are now in possession Of the
ground, and for the present everything
il calm.
Sent For Mon-si-Moh.
A messenger was dispatched to Chief
Mon-si-Moh at the agency to inform
him of the Meehans' invasion Of his
ground, and it is reported that he is
now on his way here with a large fol-
lowing Of Indians with the intention Of
peremptorily removing the Meehans
and their shanty from the premises.
He is a brave and headstrong old war
rior, and If he undertakes such . course
he will make a success of it, as he is
supported by all the Indians on the
Red Lake and White Earth reserva-
tions. The Meehans evidently fear
such a move, as they have
closed down their mill and sta
toned their entire force of twenty-five
employees on the ground to resist an at
tack. They also keep armed sentinels
pacing to and fro night and day ON the
disputed ground, and have driven
heavy piles around their shanty to pre-
vent it's being pitched into the river.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Secretary
Smith has assured Senator Washburn
that the Mon-si-Moh lease to Jones
would probably be approved.

Horrible Sawmill Accident

A frightful accident occurred

at Messrs. A. Esneault and Sons
Picayune sawmill, located in Fau-
bourg La Pipe, half mile below
town, by which Mr.. Louis Esnea-
ult, aged "a years, suffer the loss
of his right arm and left leg.
The unfortunate young man had
gone to the mill at a very early
hour to superintend the saving of
a wooden slab from pecan log to
take the place of the broken re-
turn plat of Mr.. James Teller's

The ShinSle Mill Burned.

At twelve o'clock Sunday last
fire was discovered in the Single
Mill of Messrs. Hall and Burdin,
and by the time help arrived the
whole building was wrapped in a
mass of flames which were doing
quick work in the way of destruc-
ton.
The fire department responded
promptly and did noble work. By
hard fighting with the hooks, the
two hand engines and the three
heavy streams from the steam en-
CINE, the fire was checked and
the four or five million shingles
on the yard were saved, though
they were in great and imminent
danger.
For a while the fire covered an
erea of about two acres of ground,
in the immense piles of wood, old
shingles and saw-dust, which re-
quired hard work and plenty of
water to be put out The engines
worked constantly from the begin
ming of the fire, at twelve o'clock
Sunday to about 8 or 8 o'clock
Monday morning when the fire
entirely put out.
The mill is an entire wreck ex-
cept perhaps, the boiler, the ba-
lance of the machinery is entirely
ruined.
The mill was valued at $4,000
and was insured for So, 800 in the
Gates and Craig agency, New Ibe-
ria. Besides the mill one or two
hundred thousand shingles were
burned on which there was no in
surance.
The origin of the fire is q mat
ter of conjecture, Mr.. Burdin firm
ly believes that the fire was set by
an incendiary, as he was in the
mill with his engineers just fifteen
minutes before the fire was disco
vered. The general opinion, how.
ever, is that the fire was purely
accidental.
The burning of this mill will be
a serious loss to the proprietors
and to the town, as it employed
between 25 and 30 of our home
peoples, giving them fair wages.

ever point of view it is considered.
There is not time at the short ses-
sion to discuss the tariff, and the
reopening of the question must
cause its rediscussion in extenso;
and the country is tired of it and
has called for a halt, and rest
long enough at least to recuperate
before we go further. The reop-
ening of the tariff discussion will
mean simply that all other legis-
lation will be killed. It will be
impossible to discuss any other
matter as long as this inexhausti-
BILE subject is before Congress. 1t
was before that body nearly eight
months at the last session, and we
have but little over two months at
the winter meeting, go that if the
tariff is made the chief point of
the session the country must aban-
don all hope of Legislation on fin
ancial or other matters upon
which it demand relief. Finally,
it is frankly admitted that there
is no hope of success, and all this
time is to be wasted. The session,
which ought to be devoted to bust
ness, is to be given to a rehashed
discussion, which we have already
had ad nauseam, without the fain-
test hope of action-we are to
abandon legislation for talk. That
there is no chance of success in
passing these bills is admitted by
every sane person. If the Senate
was unwilling to pass them at the
last session, what hope is there of
doing SO now, when the country
has declared by several million
majority that it prefers to drop
the tariff question for the present?
The Republicans have declared
unequivocally that they are op-
posed to any further tariff tinker
ing, and although they are no
stronger in Congress in point of
numbers that they were before the
election, they are much stronger
in point of prestige.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, Har-
ris of Tennessee, and others, think
that it will be the duty of Demo-
cratic Senators to make an honest
and determined effort to pass the
popgun bills, and they will proba-
bly, call a conference of the Sc
nate finance committee to decide
what course should be pursued in
this matter.
We hope that they will decide
against pressing the bills-not
that We believe that there is the
slightest possibility of any tariff
legislation being adopted this
winter, but because We would be
sorry to see so much time wasted
in mere discussion and the Demo-
cratic party further crippled by
attempting to go counter to the
declared wish of the people
