Prospects or Trouble In the Black
Hills.
Belle Fourche, s. D., Oct. 14.-1n.
dams are causing much trouble in the
vicinity OF the Moreau, north OF here
125 miles. They are off the reserva-
ton in large numbers, and are burn
ing the prairies, killing game out Of
season and indulging in other acts Of
mischief. Several fires have been
started On the prairie recently, and
sheep and cattle men are kept con-
stantly on the lookout to preserve
their range. All fires so far started
have been extinguished before much
damage could be done, but it is only
a matter of a short time until the en-
ire country is swept unless the In
dams are called back. These Indians
are from the Cheyenne and Standing
Rock agencies, and besides being of a
mischievous bent, are exceedingly Inn
pudent. S. A. Lathrop of Belle
Fourche, game warden for Butte coun-
ty, received word that the Indians
were killing antelope out of season,
and Immediately set out for the Nor
eau, accompanied by -four deputies, in
tending to arrest the offenders. He
has just returned to Belle fourche
without bringing any prisoners, the
Indians showing fight and threatening
to annihilate his party. He was rein
forced by eight other men before en-
countering the Indians, but there were
only five men in the party who were
armed. The Indians surrounded his
party and compelled the release of
several Indians who had been placed
under arrest Mr.. Lathrop is prepar-
ing to return to the region with a
stronger force. He is promised assis-
lance from the stock men, and unless
the Indians have left the section there
will be trouble.

that gentleman, rising promptly, with.
out mentioning chapter and verse, an.

the JOY and surprise Of everyone she
commenced to improve.
This Improvement resulted In com.

Street Car Men at New Orleans Will
Return to Work.
New Orleans, Oct. 1.-THE strike
Of the street railway company's en-
ployes which has effectually blocked
traffic of all the city lines for two
weeks, was settled last night by the
men almost unanimously accepting
the governors ultimatum on a special
ballot. Negotiations which begun Sat
urday night continued all yesterday
morning, when the executive board
finally decided to submit the matter
to a general meeting of the union in
the afternoon. The basis of settle
ment is that the men will go back to
work to-day at 20 cents and ten hours,
with a minimum of seven and one-half
hours q day, nor is any discrimination
to be made against any of the men
under charges, and as many to be
taken back as are needed for the ope'
ration Of the company's lines. The
hitch yesterday morning was on the
taking back Of the men under charges,
but the company finally conceded this,
~consenting TO allow the courts to de.
eide this. A company of cavalry came
down from Mansfield and was mus.
tered into the state service yesterday
afternoon soon after its arrival. There
is much rejoicing in the city owe the
settlement of the strike. It began two
weeks ago. Not a single passenger has
been carried on the cars since it began
and no passenger cars had moved
more than five blocks from barns
Yesterday morning the people woke to
find in different parts Of the city
stuffed figures hanging to telegraph
poles with all sorts of inscriptions at
tached to them. Some represented
the governor, some the mayor and
many represented officials of the
street railway company.

There are no judgments standing

Inere any unpaid obligations past due.
through the efforts of the business
men OF Pierre, the old capital debt has

oonds. Pierre now has her debt in
such shape that the interest and prin-

Will be extinguished entirely. This
arrangement, which was fairly arrived
at between the city and it's creditors.
Is cause for much rejoicing with all

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. IA. - 1t is def
nitely learned here that Capt. W. M.
Singer, president of the Lake Michi-
gan and Lake Superior Transportation
company, is at work trying to bring
about a merger of the freight and pas
senger lines of the great lakes. 1t is
also definitely learned that Eastern
capital stands ready to finance the
deal when the plan has been worked
out. The only thing that would ap-
pear at this time to defeat the deal
would be the placing of too high valu-
alton on vessel property by owners.
Rates will not be increased under the
merger. The idea is to maintain tar.
IFS. The merger may not include all
the freight and passenger lines, but
will to as great an extent as possible.
