UTES ARE pACIFIED.
Redskins Decide Not to Go on the
Warpath.

The disagreement with the Ute
Indians, who have been making their
home on the Cheyenne River reser-
walton, has been smoothed over and
any warlike intentions the "copper"
colored gentlemen may possibly have
been nurturing in their breasts are
now quieted. The men will go to
work at once and part of the chill
dren are to be sent to school, the
latter being one of the points that
caused what friction there has been
to exist. An epidemic Of whooping
cough among the Indian children
furnished an excuse to defeat the
plans of the government officials, who
had ordered the children sent to
school. At one time the attitude of
the malcontents became so threaten
ing that troops were hurried to the
reservation to keep order.

TO PRESERVE OLD TRAIL.
Fort Pierrc-Blaclk Hills Highway in
Danger of Oblitcration.


Danger of OblitcratiOn.
The old trail leading out of Fort
Pierre to the Black Hills country is
the cause of some agitation at pres
ent whose trend is to have the nee
essary action taken for the preser-
walton Of the historic road, that is
now threatened with obliteration, as
fencing across it is becoming a
common occurrence. Reference to
war department records shows that
the trail was not legally made a pub
lie highway when laid out by Col.
Fred Grant in 1876, and in the alb
sence of such law, state legislation
is the only means at hand to keep
it intact. AS reminder of the old
days when the western part of South
Dakota was being settled up, the
trail should be kept in existence If
possible.

here are talking of the possibility of interna-

to-day says
THE Armenian provinces OF Asia Minor seem
to be In the same critical situation as ten years
ago. The recent events in the vilayet OF BitIis
evidently are connected >wth the Mahometan

The situation OF the Armenians, which the

be steadily growing worse. All the Armenian
