Bad Indians.

Two Indians named Bad Elk and
Good Shot, attracted considerable at
tention here Tuesday on their way to
Sioux Falls from Pine Ridge Agency,
S. D., in charge of three U. s. officers
charged with murder. The indians
we're chained together at the ankle.
Good Shot is said to have travelled
in Europe with Buffalo Bill and
while in England married an English
woman. He brought her to this
country and took up their residence
on the reservation where he became
jealous of her and shot at her, and
killed an officer. Bad Elk
is charged with the murder of his
wife. Their trial will be held at
Sioux Falls.

p Dear Mother: rs = - g, ].
I hardly know what to write
because cannot stop to give you the
details Of the fight now. / fought at
the front all day yesterday aud came
out without a scratch. The insnrg-
ents put up ten times as hard fight
as the Spaniards would and the re-
ports are not in yet so We don't know
how heavy ovr loss was but it was
very heavy compared with that Of
August 18th. The insurgents loss
was fearful. The night of the 4th I
was on duty and out of the "a hours
| was on duty did ai,eut 20 hours Of
patrol, picket, aud outpost duty here
in the city and in itss outskirts. As
soon as | came in yesterday morn
ing l started for the front with the
Utah battery that was going by and
when they stopped I fell in with a
batillion Of the Tenn. regiment that
was coming up and went with them.
They drove the insurgents back sev-
eral miles in the interior and then
stopped in village for the night.
The fighting was all over aud re-
turned to my company at dusk worn
out with trip of about 20 miles
through thick and thin. I was worn
out but happy and didn't get a
scratch. In spite of the fact that l
was up all ofthe night before I had
to roll out last night and do duty on
picket for while and today I am
resting up all I can. I don't know
whether we will have any more fight
ing or not but everything is compara-
lively quiet today.
Additionally,
LEONE McKREvER.
IS. l don't feel so bad about
missing the battle of August 18th
now | went through great deal hot
ter fire yesterday than I would if l
had been here on the 18th as on the
18th my company didn't fire single
shot while yesterday l had chance
to get back at the black dis who
we're blazing away at us and l got in
several shots.

Members Of 60. H. Entertained,

81 Last week Wea nesday afternoon
|it was definitely lesrned that quite a
number Of the mem nnrs of Co. Fl
would reach here thursday after.
noon and arrangements were at once
made for reception il their honorJ
Committees for various work were
appointed and in sytematic man
ner made the arrangements com.
plete. The Indian Lake band was
procured and met the boys at the
train, whore neBrly half the village
people also assembled to greet them.
In tho evening Masonic Hall was
crowded and the audience extended
to the side walk to hear tho speeches
delivered by local speakers. Capt.
Dolan also made a brief address.
The stage of the hall was prominent
ly decorated with a portrait of Presi
dent Mckinley, and artisticlally with
flags, duplicates of all those used on
land and sea, the property of Dr.. A.
81. Clark. After the speeches an in
formal reception::was held and at 10
o'clock the soldiers were taken to
the G.: A. f.. hall, which was also
beautifully decorated, and seated at
the banquet table loaded down with
the best obtsinable in the town. All
the honor possible was done the
boys and the town is proud to do 80.
Much praise and credit is due Mrs.
Caroline Forbes and j. A. Town for
their untiring efforts to concentrate
the liberality of the citizens to make
the occasion success.
The company suffered many dis
appointments and hardships, and,
although the boys saw no active SER
vice, nevertheless they are entitled
to the honor Of being brave men and
even heroes, as they voluntarily Of
Tered their services for any service re-
quired and had an opportunity been
open they woald have distinguished
themselves equal with those that
saw active service, and in a measure
we should feel grateful that they did
DOT see active service because if they
had some of the members would
have been missing on their return.
The Minneapolis Times says: The
Fifteenth Minnesota volunteers, as a
body, deserves we'll of the nation and
tho state. 1t has had hard service
from its mastering in to it's honor
able discharge; service including
severe sickness, frequent transfer,
wearisome and demoralizing camp
life-always harder to endure in war
time than in peace-and, worst of
all, the hope deferred that maketh
the heart sick. Time and again the
regiment was assured of active ser.
vice in the West Indies and at one
time was promised chance to show
its mettle in the Philippines. There
ls good reason to doubt that, had
occasion served, the rank ahd file of |
The Fifteenth would have proved as
brave, edduring and efficient as their
brethren of other organizations, reg
alar add volunteer.

MANILA, P. I. Feb. 8 1899.
I suppose Won will he wonda

l suppose you will be wonder:
ing whether | have seen any more
fighting since y u heard from me
last. Well, 1 fought right at the
front yesterday and last night and
my hide is still free from holes. l
got scratched up a little charging
through the underbrush but that is
all: l was in two charges yesterday
and one last Sunday and they were
desperate ones too. It is a miracle
the way our boys are coming out of
these charges, in the face of perfect
hailstorm Of bullets, but so far the
losses have been light compared with
their desperate character. The in
surgents have all of the advantage of
position and We have to drive them
back by desperate charges, over mn:
known ground in the face OF terri
BILE fire. They keep retreating from
bush to bush and are putting nps a
remarkable fight and BY the time VS.
are done with them our losses will be
very heavy. They have fine new ri
lies and ammunition and will probab-
~ hold out for several days yet. Last
night l was On picket duty all night
and didn't get minutes sleep. The
mosquitoes were the worst and thick
est l ever saw them and they nearly
ate us up while we were laying in she
grass, wet with dew, and so cold and
chilly that our teeth chartered, while
we lay and fought and watched to
protect the boys who were asleep be-
hind US. As it happened the picket
line l was in was the most advanced
OF any and after tramping about Is
miles during the day, in heat that
you never experienced,i in midsummer
at home, made the night the most
horrible experience l ever had in my
life. 1t was very dark and the nerv-
GUS strain of watching 10 intently
was simply terrible ana today I am
just worn out and so sore and stiff l
can hardly move. I fought yesterday
part OF the time with the 1st Montana
regiment and part of the time with
the Nth Kansas regiment. As you
know the 18th is shut up in the city
on police duty. The piece of eharr-
ed wood l sent yon is from the Span
ish flag ship Reina Cristina and the
shells are from Corregidor island. 1
will be on duty for the next four days
straight so ! will probably not get
out to the lines again, so I don't
think | will see any more scrapping
unless we have some fun here in the
city. An order has been issued
aglnst our going out on the lines any
more 80 suppose that settles it..

creeks very high and then the same
evening we had slight touch of snow
which made the roads in this neigh

The farmers in this vicinity were
thinking of making a flying trip to

though they are little embarrassed
for fear they will have to lead their
team in town or be arrested, so sup
pose they postponed the journey.
John Jamison of Beetown was
around here last week fixing up the
phones on the Farmers Line Mr..
Jamison says they are going to build

orally have business with Potosi.
