NELSON'S ROAR.

The Ku-ChenE Mandarin Found He
Was There for Business.
London, Oct. GA letter to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Ku Cheng, pub
Slished to-day, dilates upon the fact
that it is q strange thing that the only
fighting man sent to Ku Cheng with
the commission appointed to inquire
Into the massacres of Missionaries was
Lieut.. Waldo Evans, Of the United
States cruiser Detroit, in spite of the
fact that two British gunboats were
lying at Foo Chow. The correspond
sent Of the Pail Mall Gazette adds
that when the party arrived at Ku
Cheng the mandarin in command there
refused to allow the members of the
commission to attend the trial of the
accused vegetarians, whereupon j.
Courtney Hixson, the United States
consul at Foo Chow, who was the most
energetic member of the commission,
5peremptorily demanded in the most
vigorous language the right Of being
present at the trial. He said he did
not care how great parsonage the
mandarin was, he would stir up all
the powers unless he was admitted.
He gave the mandarin four hours in
which to make up his mind.

AN INDIANS DOODLE.

Riches for sacrilegious Young
Bucks of the Sioux Nation.
Deadwood, S. D., Oct. Cat Rose
bud agency a secret expedition is be-
ing planned to 60 out, under the guild
ance Of some of the old braves, and
plumber the grave of an old Sioux
chief who has lain buried since 1854.
In his grave is believed to be $4,000
in gold coin, long supposed to be
worthless trinkets.
When the Mormons were migrating
to Utah, from Nauvoo. they passed
through an Indian village of about
5000 people, situated where Fort Lar
annie now stands. During the march
cow that had become lame was lost
and was butchered by the Indians. The
Mormons complained to lieutenant
in command of a squad of twenty
seven men. The lieutenant was young
and fresh and he promptly demanded
that the Indians should be turned over
to him. This being denied. he boldly
charged the village. with the usual re-
suit. He and his twenty-seven COM
rades were buried in single grave,
ment at old Laramie.
Among the leading spirits in this
massacre was prominent Sioux chief
called Winding Hawk, who brooded
over the execution of his comrades,
and in revenge held up a government
annuity ambulance The coach con-
tanned about $4,000 in currency and
the same amount in gold coin. The
currency was recognized as valuable
by the half-breeds, who Immediately
appropriated it, and there is half
breed family at Rosebud that is
wealthy now in consequence of that
raid. The gold coins, however, were
looked upon as trinkets. So far as the
Indians knew, it had no money value,
and was appropriated by Winding
Hawk as his share. Later they buried
Winding Hawk. and with him, accord
ing to their custom, they buried his
best bow and arrows, his most valua-
BILE furs and his new trinkets.
AS the Indians became more init
mate with the whites and more CIV
ilized, they came to know the value of
the gold coins, but, as the violation Of
an Indian grave brings, according to
superstition, fatally bad luck, there
was no thought of robbing old Wind
ing Hawk, until the young braves Of
the present generation. casting aside
the red mans superstition as they ac-
auired the white mans love for gold,
have persuaded their fathers. who
helped to bury Winding Hawk. to go
with them and show them the spot,
near Fort Laramie. where Winding
Hawk and his gold treasure lie buried.
