John Robbins met with quite an
accident Thurs lay, at the Landing. He
had been after some freight and was just
coming from the steamboat wharf when
he met "jgger," the driver OF which, If
not wanting the earth, wanted most of
the way, and left scant room to pass.
Just as they were abreast Mr.. Robbins
horse started ahead and locked wheels
with the other team, startling the horse,
which leaped to one side, breaking both
shafts, the whiffletree and cross bar of
the wagon, cramped one wheel and threw
Mr.. Robbins out among some rocks. The
horse cleared himself from the wagon
and ran round to Charles Eaton's,
where he was caught. Mr.. Robbins was
quite severely bruised, but received no
serious injuries.

chief, had been white man, he would
have been called great general? In

"Sitting Bull was not real chief
that is, he wasn't war chief He was
a medicine man, what the Indians call

ural capacity as IL commander His sur
prise and cutting Off of Custer would
have been called great achievement if
