Very Respectfully ters. Hoover, a sheep herder, was re- cently shot while herding sheep, and it was proven that Indiens did it. He was killed because he caught several Indians killing sheep. This so incensed the stockmen that they have armed themselves and will fight to protect their homes, help and stock. Two cempanies of colored cavalry from Custer were ordered to the agency Wednesday and Saturday a courier arriyed from the agency with information that George Walters, the postmaster, and Lou Aldersen, a stockman, had been shot and killed; also that the Indians had shot into the cavalry and killed five men, and had sixty armed cowboys surround- ed. The cavalry from Fort Keogh and Co. E of the Infantry left Satur day for the scene. There sre certainly grounds for fear. The Cheyennes are determined and they are being reinforced by renegade Crows. Rosebud ranchers received a consignment of rifles and ammunition at this point to day. Settlers have moved all their families from near the reservation. Ranchmen and stockmen have or- ganized at Cheyenne Agency and de- mand the Indians who killed Hoover. The names of the Indians are known and they are protected by fifty bucks The deputios that came to Miles returned with Sheriff Gibbs, having @ warrant for the arrest of Agent Stouch for interfering with officers in the discharge of their duty and warrants for the Indian known and two “John Doe” warrante. Orders were given to the ordnance officer at Ft. Keogh to have 10,000 rounds of ammunition ready for issue. It is supposed more troops are to go to the agency.

Sat- tley, the convicted wrecker of the Kaneas City Safe Deposit and Sav- ings Bank, is such a humiliating surpriss to his friends that few indeed will be found who will at tempt to excuse or condone it. Not only was there no popular demand for the banker's pardon, but they hired lawyers who lent their efforts to work it quietly to avoid ihe pop ular opposition In this they appear to have had the tacit aid of Gov. Stephens, who is known to have -| of the offender. declared in writing as late as May 8 that no application had b2en pre sented for Sattleys pardon except cne from his wife, alleged to be at the point of death in California. The utter preposterousness of the idea of perdoning Sattley resulted in few people paying any attention to flying rumors. It is no wonder Gov. Ste- phens’ act is considered absolutely indefensible by any code of moral or civil law. The honest banker and the prudent citizen finds his protec- tion in the punishment of the dishon- est man who establishes a financial institution that is a snare and a delusion, snd loots it for his own enrichment, or is even, as Governor Stephens so ready in attempt at fal- lacious justification puts it, a “tool in the bands of others.” And on thie phase of excuse we rote the intereat- ing fact that the Governor declares that Judge Wofford, the trial judge, wrote asking a pardon, while Judge Wofford issues a signed statement declaring he made no recommenda tion directly or indirectly to the Governor. Itis really unfortunate that this issue of veracity should arise between men of such known probity as Gov. Stephens and Judge Wofford. i The jury in Sattley’s case mindful of the quality of mercy, gave him but four years, of which he has serv- ed less than one half. The sentence was deemed indeed a moderate one, and it will not do for Gov Stephens to intimate that jury was unnece:- sarily harsh, or that his sentence was too severe. Many men who bave stolen a horse or a few paltry dollars are within those prison walls under heavier sentence with no hope of the sentimental interference of the executive to cut short their just punishment. If we mistake not States’ Attorney Lowe, of Kaasas City, isa man of another stamp. There ere scores of other indictments yet pending agaioat Sattley. A pardon secretly obtained, contrary to the honest sen- timents of the people, ruinous to the policy of the enforcement of Jaw as an example to others, should not deter the States’ Attorney of Jack son county from further prosecution GEN. MILES TRAVELS WELL. His Stateroom Costs a Trifle of Five Hundred Dellars. Washington, D. C., May 28— There is a prospect of trouble ahead for Major General Nelson A. Miles when he submits vouchers for his transportation expenses abroad to witness the maneuvers of the Grecian and Turkish forces. One item alone which has created considerable com ment is that $500 for a stateroom aboard the St. Paul, upon which the commanding general of the army started for his European junket. There was a conflict at the outset for a stateroom, for General Miles that had been sold to the widow of the late Henry E. Abbey. With his accustomed gallantry, however, Gen- eral Miles waived his right to the stateroom claimed by the actress, Florence Girard, who had been left penniless by the death of her hus- band, Henry E. Abbey, and was going to England in search of a theatrical engagement. the actress General Miles ecncluded there was nothing too good for him- self, and he accordingly engaged the highest priced stateroom he could find, the figures being $500 A first- class stateroom could have been se- jcured for $335, and the commanding general of the United States army did not propose to stand back for a few beggarly dollars, especially when | the government was going to foot all the bills. It would be beneath his dignity and station to take anything but the best. After giving up his stateroom to|- 4; Oo DS we > j E : | | ¢ 4 AS x We Call Your Attention This Week to our Bargain Counters, On which we placed many lines of our various de- partments in order to close them out at a price, When we say close them out, that means they must be sold and almost any price will buy them. show an entire new line of Wash Dress Goods and Laces Belts and Ready Made Dress Skirts ceSOMETHING NEW:+-- .
