1t seems that during the life of Mrs
Elizabeth j. Sturm she made arrange
ments with Rev. b. n. Smith to write
her obituary after her death. but af.
ter making this arrangement she liv.
ed several years, and in the meantime
MIR. Smiths health has failed and he
surrenders the task to some one else,
and the data, she furnished i'm her
own hand writing finally fell into our
hands with request that we add
whatever we thought best. No
amount Of eulogy from us could add
one jot or title to her noble christian
life, and we're we to attempt to give
a descriptive history of her princely.
intelligent and christian character we
would be suddenly confronted with
utter want of ability and inadequacv
OF words. Hence we have to be con.
tent to publish her letter addressed to
Rev. Smith But before doing so we
desire to assure the relatives that we
deeply deplore the great loss to the
community aud enter into profound
sympathy.

A CORY FIGHT
with the Indians VIII Ensue ~ They
Attempt the Release of the
Prisoner Badger.

Miles City, Mont, June 81
Sheriff Glib, who has returned
from the Cheyenne agency says
the Indian situation is very
grave indeed. He reports 200
or more Indians off the reserva-
ton and scattered in the hills.
Old settlers look for trouble.
\ sheriff's posse 800 strong,
under the command of Captain
Brown, is stationed in small
numbers in and about the set
tlement near the reservation to
protect the remaining settlers
and prevent the destruction of
property by the Indians.
Indian Agent Stouch would
not deliver the prisoner Badger
to the sheriff when called upon
to do so, saying he was afraid,
but would escort Badger off the
reservation Friday with troops
and deliver him to the authori-
ties.
The sheriff placed Stouch
under arrest. The sheriff also
has a warrant for Captain Reid,
who had charge of the troops
from Fort Custer. 1t Is not
known among the Indians in
the hills that Badger is in the
guard house.
When he Is removed from
4 the reservation 1t is feared the
I Indians will make a break to
recover him. If this is done,
there will be great loss of life
on both sides. The sheriff
brought in orders for a large
number of rifles and ammuni
ton. Another posse OF 100 OF
more Will accompany him back
To the reservation, which he ex.
poets to reach tonight or Fri
day morning.
