ARE GENEROUS TOWARD vrEs.
Cheyenne River Indians Grant Liberal
Laws.

The Indian council which has adj
tourned at Cheyenne River agency was
attended by a large number of Indians
from all parts of the reservation, and
the agency was surrounded for the
week by their tepees. The gathering,
which had under consideration the
leasing of a tract to the Ute Indians
who broke away from their Utah res
ervation last winter, were rounded up
in Wyoming, and brought to Fort
Meade, where they were held all win
ter, was addressed by a number of
chiefs and head men of the reservation
who generally were in favor of giving
their brethren a shelter. The repre-
sentatives of the Utes were Chief APP
pach and Maj. Johnson of Fort Robin
son.
Appach made a plea for his people,
who he said could not live on the res
ervation set aside for them in Utah,
and that they were obliged to leave it
or starve. Maj. Johnson also made a
strong speech for the Utes, and it is
said by those who were present that
his talk was rather sensational in re-
gard to the Indian departments treat
ment of the Utes. The discussion on
the matter lasted a day and a half.
The lease which was granted was ap-
proved by a large vote of a majority
OF the Indians present. 1t is to run
for five years. The permission Is
given with it for the Utes to travel
over the reservation free of charge,
and to send their children to school.
The matter Of the Benway Brothers
%pasturing their cattle on the Milwau-
kee road cattle trail was up before the
council, but was not acted upon, as an
agreement had been reached between
the Benways and Agent Downs, the
details Of which are to be completed
by the business council, which was au-
thorized to make a new lease of the
trail to the railway company at a rate
OF not less than 4 1-2 cents an acre per
year. This is a question which proba-
bly, will require adjustment, as the
company only desires to use the
pasture part of the summer when they
will ship ove their new line to Mo-
bridge. But as the matter was turned
over to the Indian business council, It
probably will be adjusted.
Arrangements were made for a
grand Fourth of July celebration on
Virgo creek, about twenty-five miles
northwest Of the agency, at which In
dian Commissioner Leupp is expected
to be present to make an address to
the Indians. The council ended with a
big feast for all who were present.

PUBLICLY WHIP THIEVES.
Homesteaders Will Organize Vigilan-
ties to Protect Property.

To be publicly horstwhipped and
branded before the people of the coun-
ty as thieves is the punishment which
is promised several persons who APP
ptar to be engaged in carrying on
wholesale thefts among the settlers of
Lyman county.
The thieves make a practice of Wis
iting the homes of homesteaders dur
ing the temporary absence of the
owners, and large quantities of cloth
ing, household articles and other prop
erty have been carried away.
The matter has reached such a point
that a movement now has been inau-

a vigilance committee in every town
ship in the county. Those detected in
thefts will be publicly ~horsewhipped

An insurance case was presented be-
fore the supreme court the past week
which will be watched with more than
usual interest by insurance men Of the
country. The case is that Of L.. l..
Nordness VS.. the Mutual Cash Guar
anty Company of Sioux Falls. Nord-
ness was doing a mercantile business
at Waubay, and an application was
sen to the home Office of the Cash
Guaranty company for a policy of ST.

ten to go into effect Aug. 1. Nordness
returned the policy to the home office
Of the company with the statement
that he had not made application for
any insurance with the company and
did not want it. 1t vas again sent to
him with a letter from the company to
the effect that the application had
been made, and the policy issued on
the same, and a demand for the
amour of premium due upon the pol
icy. A second time Nordness sent
back the policy with his refusal to &C
cept it, and a third time the company
sent In the policy, this time by regis
tered letter, with its letter insisting
that the policy had been ordered, and
was considered in force. This regis
tered letter reached Nordness on the
18th of August, and the previous night
a fire had destroyed the stock of goods
In question. Nordness at once mailed
to the company a draft for the amount
of the premium. On the receipt Of his
claim for loss the company refused to
pay on the ground that the policy had
not been paid for at the time of the
IRE. and other reasons, but the lower

amount of the policy. The case now

TWO ARE KILLED
WHEN CAR
FALLS
Former Lordsburg Man Is
One of Pair Who Is
Dead.

Tucson. Ariz., Sept. 12.-The
Southern Pacific repair shops in this
city was the scene of an accident
yesterday about $3.50 o'clock that
cost the lives of two of the employees
of that company, Mike Redmond and
Robert Mccormick, each meeting
with instantaneous death.
A car loaded with mining timbers,
six by six, was set out i'm the yard
in front of the repair shop to have
some work done on the car, the air
not working. Messrs Redmond and
Mccormick started at work on the
car and had made some repairs and
were at work on others when, with
out seconds warning, the stakes
that held the heavy timbers on the
car gave way and caught the two
men beneath the falling lumber,
crushing their lives out Immediately
Fellow workmen who were near by
rushed to the aid of the imprisoned
men and it was but a short time un-
til they had the men out from
under the pile of timbers, but both
men were dead when they were
reached and evidently never knew
what struck them. Coroner Richey
empanneled a jury to view the
bodies before they were removed
from the scene of the accident.
Redmond's body was taken to the
undertaking parlors of o. c. Parker,
and that of Robert Mccormick to
Reilly's parlors. An examination of
Redmond's body disclosed the fact
that his neck and back were broken
several ribs, and his left leg in three
places, while there were a number
of cuts and bruises.
Had Lived i'm New Mexico.
Mccormick S body does not show
as many broken bones as did his fell
low workman but several of his ribs
were broken and the ends forced in
to his lungs and heart, so that there
is little doubt but that death was in
stantaneous and neither of them suf-
fered.
The men both had been in the en-
ploy of the company for a number of
years. Redmond was a man about
fifty years old and was well known
in Tucson as well as other portions
of Southern Arizona. He leaves a
brother residing at Silver Bell, who
was notified of his death, as well as
sister living in Oakland, California.
He was a member of the knights of
Pythias, belonging to the order at
Lordsburg, New Mexico. No arrange
ments have been made as yet for the
funeral, pending the receipt of word
from his lodge and relatives.
