The sheriff replied that inasmuch #s the feat contem- plated was no unusual one, and with the supposition that the animal during the ten mile run would bs occasional- 1y watered andspongedand well cared for, he could find no legal grounds for interference. - Police Court Items.

TWO DWELLING HOUSES, near the corner of Tenth street and Capitol Avenue, were toppled over carly in tho evening. One of the buildings kad been completed but a short time. Other old structurcs in the meighborhood which lock as if they would cave in some day of gen- eral debility, weathered the blast and will still stand till the last, no doubt.

A brokeu window in the grocery es- tablishment of J. H. Spelman, corner of Twelfth and Do s streets, was blown in, and quite an amount of goods damaged. Several of the circus bill boards in the various parts ot the city, were laid flat and the giant, the kangarco and the “man with theiron jaw, "were mingled into one. Alarge tres which has flourished for many a year in front of a dwelling houze pear the corner of Izard and Seventeenth straets, was blown down; it fell in such a manner as to ¢ffectual- ly barricade the front door cf the building.

The objest of White Swan’s visit to this city is to procure legal advice iu regard to the action to be taken with the directors-of tho Sivux City & St. Paul R. R., who have extended a sur- vey of theirproposed road through the Omahas’ reservation. Some time ago an agent of the roid called upon the Omahas and ssked them what they would ask per acre for the land on their reservation, on which the road would be built. Atter holding a council among themselves the Indians concluded that twelve dollars per acre would be a suflicient recompen:e, and so [informed the offic’al who forthwith turned his back to the setting sun aud with a promise to let the Omahas know of his chief's decision before two months*had passed, took his departure. Since that time the tribe have talked the matter over among themselves; it was a problem they were unueed to solving, and it was decided that the advice of lawyers might be of service and White Swan is to day in Omaha for the purpose of procuring the same if possible. White Swan is a man of no mean travels. Some three years ago he ac- companied his father on a to Washington. He is still unmarried, and no doubt has broken the hearts of any an ambiticus Indian maiden. Prominent among tho facts gleaned during the interview were the follow- ing: That}some time this summer the Omahas and the Winnebagoes would hold a council with the Sioux. Tbat Red Cloud has told White Swan that he was tired of warfare, and the tribe would settle down to a quiet 1fa. That the Ponca troubles wera not at- tributable to any action of the gov- ernment, but were brouzht abut by the misrepresentations of some of the sgentsand a prominent legal firm of Boston, who had induced the Poncas toleave their reservation, and they, the Indians, had been given to under- stand that it was ro ordered by the Indian burcav.

About 8 o'clock it swayed toand fro at such a rate that the front doors wero trown open and crcaked snd groaned as though they were about to fly their hinges. The men, who eleep in the second story, were afraid to go to bed, and some ‘of them got iato the hay mow of the barn in the rear of the en- gine house, in the attempt to stcal a few hours of sleep. The plastering wascracked in every room anl the cornico on the weat side was blown off.
