Redskins Said to Have Already
Killed a Dozen Men.
A dispatch from Helena, Mont, on May
81 says: The Cheyenne Indians have gone
on the warpath and are said to have killed
about a dozen men including five United
States soldiers. They have no reservation
of their own, but roam over the southern
part of the state near the Crow Reserva-
ton. The white settlers are up in arms,
and women and children are being sent
into the towns for safety.
Two companies of Colorado cavalry are
out from Fort Custer. A courier from
Lame Deer Agency brings the information
that the Indians killed the agency post
master and Lou Anderson, stockman.
They also fired into the cavalry, killing
five, and had sixty armed cowboys sur
rounded. The Fort Keogh cavalry and
Company E, infantry. have left for the
scene.
There are certainly grounds for fear.
The Cheyennes are determined and are be-
ing reinforced by renegade Crows. The
Rosebud ranchers received consignment
Of rifles and ammunition at this point to-
day. Settlers have moved all their fam
lilies from near the reservation. Ranchmen
and stockmen are organized at the Chey-
enne Agency and demand the Indians who
killed Hoover.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY
SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
Railroad Commissioners Hard at
Work Preparing New Schedules -
Railroads Expect to Make a
Fight Against Reduced Rates.
New Railroad Rates.

The railroad commission, which has
been established for couple of months in
Sioux Falls, has been hard at work pre-
pairing the schedules which are to 20 into
effect the LIST OF July. 1t has carefully
studied the rates obtaining in Iowa and
other adjacent states, and it will material
ly reduce the rates charged in South Da-
kota. 1t is expected by the commission
that the railroads will resist the imposition
of these rates, and it is likely that there
will be a legal contest before the new
schedules are adopted.
The schedules are not yet completed, Dut
the commission is rapidly perfecting them.
On the 18th of this month the public hear
ings will begin. Anyone who has griev'
ance against the present rates, who has
any reason to show why the present
rates should be reduced, will be invited to
appear and make his statement. The rail-
road men have already made general
argument against any change, but they
will be permitted to appear against and
enter their protest.
To meet this hostile movement the COM
mission has appointed three attorneys to
advise with and fight the battles for the
state. In Mr. I.aFoIlette's District Judge
Palmer has been named, in Mr.. kilpat-
rick's district I. NJ. Null of Huron, and in
Mr.. Tompkins' district Attorney Brown OF

were captured, which the men said were to
be used in shooting gallery which had
not been erected at the time OF the raid.

of the release few days ago of Henry
Bauer and Carl Mold from the penitentiary,
where they had served four years for in

the action Of the police is an outrage, and
someone will be made to suffer for it.

ROASTED A CHILD.
Horrible Crime OF m Old Woman
In Alabama.

Horrible Crime Of m Old Woman
in Alabama.
One Of the most horrible crimes ever
chronicled In Dallas County, Alabama, &C.
Cured four miles from Selma. Monday a
child Of Bill Griffin, only years of age,
went over to the home Of its grandmother,
Mile Griffin, and, seeing a, hoe cake on a
gridiron, helped itself to piece without
the knowledge Of the grandmother. This
act on the part Of the child enraged the old
woman. She procured an empty oat sack
and putting the child into it, tied up the
sack and hung it on pair of pot hooks up
the chimney. The woman. who is 70 years
old, then gave positive instructions that
the child should not be released by other
hands than her own, and went to the field
to work. About two hours after this per-
Torrance an uncle OF the. child heard
groans In the cabin and went in to invests
gate. To his surprise he found the sack
had caught fire and the child had been
literally roasted alive. Neighbors gathered
and 1t was with difhculty that they were
prevented from lynching the perpetrator
Of the terrible crime.

ATTACK ON CALHOUN.
Havana Paper Critictses the United
States Commissioners.

Havana Paper Crittcises the United
States Commissioners.
In leading article Ell Diario de la Ma
rina, published in Havana, makes scath
ing indirect attack upon Commissioner
Calhoun by criticising articles which have
appeared in a western paper over the sig
nature of Mr.. Pepper, who, in the guise of
an intimate friend of President Mckinley
and Mr.. Calhoun, accompanied the latter
to Cuba.
Ell Diario maintains that many incidents
of the interior working of the mixed COM
mission, which are wholly private, have
been divulged in Mr.. Peppers letter,
thus tending to compromise Mr.. CAL
houn. The paper also represents
Mr.. Peppers unfriendly attitude
toward Spain in his reports on
the Cuban question, expressing disgust
that while he blames Spain for the natural
result Of the war, he has no word of CEN
sure for the Cuban insurgents, whose
torches are destroying the wealth Of the
island. In closing its article Ell Diario de
la Marina calls attention to the fact that
two New York newspapers, whose Cuban
representatives are scarcely favorable to
Spain, maintain bureaus in Havana under
the same roof with the United States con-
sui general, intimating with much delicacy
that the correspondents of these two news
papers are virtually under the wing of
Gen. Lee and draw most Of their inspira.
ton from him.

Killed by Burglars.

Isaac J. Hill, farmer living at Farm
ington, Ohio, was murdered Sunday night
by burglars. Hill lived with his aged
mother. The robbers broke into the house
and after binding and otherwise maltreat-
ing the old woman they went up stairs
where Hill slept. They first dubbed him
over the head and then shot him. There
were evidences in the house Of terrible
struggle, which goes to show that Hill
made desperate fight. So far as known
the robbers got nothing, as Mrs. Hill says
there was no money in the house. There
Is no clue to the murderers.

Observatory at Williams Bar to Be

The Yerkes Observatory at Williams
Bar, Wis.,, will be closed for the summer,
the movable floor OF the dome having been
wrecked by fall Of forty feet. This
floor, which was seventy-five feet in diam
eter, was suspended by iron cables. One
OF the cables was torn from its weight, thus
unbalancing the floor, which fell to the
bottom of the dome. In its fall it carried
the winding stairway Of the support OF the
telescope with it, crushing the electric APP
paratus underneath it. The floor lies now
a complete wreck. The loss from this part
of the accidents slight, but 1t is feared the
jar may have disturbed the accuracy of
some OF the very delicate machinery of the

most favorable conditions, a fine stand of
grain, larger acreage than hitherto, and the
