was snail passing quiet existence
along the banks of the Usage, until
high flood swept him down to the
Missouri, and left him exposed on the
shore. The heat of the sun at length
ripened him into man, but, with the
change of his nature, he had not forgot
ten his native seats on the Usage, towards
which he Immediately bent his way. He
was, however, soon overtaken by
hunger and fatigue, when, happily, the
Great Spirit appeared and, giving him a
bow and arrow, showed him how to kill
and cook deer and cover himself with
the skin. . He then proceeded to his
original residence, but, as he approached
the river, he was met by beaver who
enquired haughtily who he was and by
what authority he came to disturb his
possession. The Usage answered that
the river was his own for he had once
lived on it's borders. AS they stood dis
putting the daughter of the beaver came
and, having by her entreaties, recon-
ciled her father to this young stranger,
it was proposed that the Usage should
marry the young beaver, and share with
her family the enjoyment of the river.
The Usage readily consented, and from
this happy union there soon came the
village and the nation of the Wabasha
Or Osages, who have ever since pre-
served a pious reverence for their ances-
tors, abstaining from the chase of the
beaver because in killing that animal,
they killed brother of the Usage. But
the Lewis and Clark diary quantity
remarks: "Of late years, however, since
the trade with the white has rendered
beaver skins more valuable, the sanctity
of these maternal relatives has visibly
diminished, and the poor animals have
nearly lost all the privileges of kind
red"
In many families there are still-even
in civilized life-some snails and some
beavers-some drones and some work

During the eight years which have

FILLED UP ON FlREWATER
Indian Trouble the Result of TOO
Much Liquor and Not of
serious Consequence.

H. W. Cheney OF Ida Grove, Ia, was in
the city yesterday morning on his way from
Oklahoma territory TO his home. On his trip
to the southwest Mr.. cheney visited the
scene OF the alleged Indian uprising in the
Indian Territory and reports the stories
sent out by the correspondents as without
foundation IT. fact According to his in
formation. the vtole trouble originated with
a party Of Indians who went into one OF the
new towns in the Indian country and filled
up on fire water. while under the influence
Of liquor they made some warlike demon
strations ana municipal officers undertook
to arrest them. They resisted the officers
and returned TO their homes. Then white
officers OF the town attempted to serve
writ on them in the Indian country and they
again resisted, claiming that these officers
had no authority outside of the corporation
limits Of the town.
An appeal was made to the Indian au-
thorities and the lawbroakers refused to
recognize the authority Of these officers
claiming that their jurisdiction did not ex-
tend further than offenses committed in the
town Then the correspondents took a hand
in the affair. meeting OF the friends Of
the accused was magnihed into a war party
and the scared officers called for assistance.
According to the views Of Mr. Cheney, the
residents were fully competent to settle the
case, but the presence OF the United States
troops probably saved the lives Of some a.
the Indians who refused 10 recognize white
authority.
There is another phase OF territorial life
az present which MIR. Cheney believes will
have greater influence upon the west
than any Indian uprising, and that is the
opening Of the ComanchC and Kiowa rCscr-
Nptions to white settlement, which will take
place some time next summer, probably
the latter part OF July or the first of Au-
gust There will be about $500 sections Of
land for white men after the Indian allot-
ments have been made, and a dozen men
will appear for each quarter section. AL

open secret that any man going upon the
ground alone will have little chance to
hold a claim. as practically all OF the reser-

HUNTING WAR BY TELEGRAPH
Lieutenant Dixon Unable to Discover
Alleged Outbreak of
Indians.

Down in the Indian Territory there is a
first lieutenant of the United States cav
airy bunting for warlike Indians by tele-
grarh, and up at the headquarters of the
army OF the Department of the Missouri
there is an adjutant general who has little
expectation that there will be any discov-
cries.
Yesterday morning telegram was re-
ceived from Lieutenant Dixon, in command
OF Troop OF the Eighth cavalry, who is on
the scene OF the alleged trouble with the
Snake band of the Creek Indians, Lieu
tenant DiXOn's telegram was not sent from
Henrietta, Tex, but from Henrietta, |. T.
a small station on the Choctaw railroad,
not far from South McAllister. The lieu
tenant stated that when he arrived at Hen
rietta he found no trouble at that point,
but his telegram indicates that he heard
reports OF trouble at other places. for he
says chat he has opened up teegraphic com
muniCations with the officers of the coun-
ties in that part of the country TO ascertain
IL any trouble exists in their locality which
would require the presence OF United States
troops. SO far he has found no officer who
needs the assistance OF the strong arm Of
Uncle Sam to control the natives within his
bailwick, and he is now awaiting orders
from headquarters as TO his further action.
