A Link in the History of the Maha Indians. With the permiesion of the chief of the Omahas, who is at present in this city, and through the kindness of Judge Savage, we were thown yester- day some interesting documents which have been held by the tribe for sever- al generations, and are yet in su ex- cellent condition. One is dated July 27th, 1806, and is from James Wilkinson, ‘‘>omman- der-in-chief of the army of the United States, Governor of the Territory of Louisiana, and Superintendent of In- dian Affaira.” This was three years after the purchase of the Territory of Louisiana by the United States from Napoleon Bonaparle, then first con- sul of France. At that time, it will be remembered, the territory of Lou- isiima comprised nearly all of the present state of Louisiana, Arkansag Missouri, Iowa, Minuesota, Dakota Territory, Nebratks, aost of Kansas and the Tndian Territory, part of Col- orado, most of Wyoming and the whole of Montana, Idaho, Oregen and Washington territory. Over this vast territory a government was placed by the president. The British still had an envious eyo on the Mississippi, and Governor Wil- kinson, no doubt, knew the value cf the good will of a then powerful tribe of red men, #d the expression ot his appreciation embodied in the docu- ment, which we give below, is cuiva- lent to an assurance of their right and title to the territory of their forefath- ers, which then,as aow, occuvied & lar, e in the northeast corner of the state, anda guarantee that the transfer of the territory of Louisiana to the United States should 1 no way affect their title. Following is a correct copy of the body of the document: “In consideration of the fidelity, zeal and attachment testified by Wa- shing-ga-sa-be, chief of the Mahas, to the government of the United States and by virtue of the power and au- thority in me vested, I do hereby con- firm the said Wa-shing-ga-sa-boa chicf of the Mabas aforesaid, ‘having be- stowed upon him the medal willing all and the Indians and the inhabitants thes of tb obey him as a chief and all of cers and others in the service of the great, singular QAN I8 poobatile ha. the or ;)b tpibRat i -ansord. dinance will be put on its pusage at | 7% the council mecting this even-| 5" A { et Given at St. Louis, etc., by his —Part of the programme of the minstrel troupe which left this place Sundsy was to beat the Atlantic house to the tune of about forty dol- lats. The propriotor, however, was duly posted, and issued & warraat for their arrest. The manager of the troupe subsoquently seitled at the depot on condition that suit would be withdrawn. —Without a doubt, Alsted’s, 1420 Douglas street is the young men's hoadquariers for pleasuro and refresh- ments, and it is no wonder, s overy- thing there is first-class. The elegant biltiard and pool tables arenew and of tho best make, and the ico cream, the pies, the cakes, the lomonade, etc., were never served better, even in old Paris. Alsted’s new etock five-cent White Lily cigar beats anything in the market. —About a week ago Miss Emma Hendricks was violently thrown from a buggy while driving along Four- teonth street, and was seriously in- jured, she was travelling with the Alvin Joulin comedy company and in consequence of the accident wi thrown out of an engagement.

J. Ahern, of New York, is in company with Rev. H. H. Cole at the Union Pacific hotel across the river. Mr. Ahern has published a volume on the laad question, which is now the absorbing question in Greau Britain. The gentleman is in the west for the purpose of observation with a view of publishing another vol- ume for circulation in Europe, giving such hints as will be valuable to the European farmer in selscting a loca- tion for a future home in the great west. Mr. Ahern holds that the farm- er of Great Britain cannot compete with his brother farmer of Nebraska at any rental, and that the only remedy for the discontent in the old world is to pull up stakes: cross the Atlantic, and become one of us. Mr. Abern knows theland ques- tion at home and its merits, and a third of a century in America has enabled him to comprehend the ad- vantages presented by the ownership of the rich soil of Nebraskaand Iowa. The people in Great Britian will pay heed to the recommendation of Mr. Ahern’s to them, and it is therefore of interest to our land owners to let him seo our land in the best possi ble light. The gentleman will visit Lincoln and other prominent points. He may be seen at the Union Pacific bratal fight. The conflict took place near the corner of Dodge and Ninth streets, and drew a large crowd. The fight originated over a game of pool, in which the two were engaged.

From Mr. Cash Wilton, of Daven- port, we learn the particalars of a my- sterious shooting affair that occurred at Council Bluffs Sundsy. A party of baggagemenfrom Daven- port, consisting of Messrs. A. R. Mc- Cullough, Geo. Creighton and Wm. Berand were walking up to the Bluffis from the depot, and when near the Drover's House, Mr. Berand felt & smart blow on the hand. His first impression was that one of his friends had hit him, and turning he charged McCullough with striking him. McCullough disclaimed any such act and the conclusion was arrived at that somebody had thrown some missle at them. Upon quettioning an engineer of an engine standing by, he stated that he saw some minute particle fly through the air, and heard the report of a gun. Upon investigation a bullet was found, of 38 calibre, and a furthe vestigation revealed the fact that a bullet hole had been pierced through McCallough's coat. Berand's little and fourth fingera were severely in- jured, but not dangerously. Search failed to revesl the dastard who fired the shot, although the police were at once notified. It was a very mysterious affar, and should be thoroughly investigated. Now Goods cheap, at Bushman's. War in the Sixth Ward. Sundsy afternoon a game of base Dall was played at the terminus of the green line of street cars between two youthful nines. During the progress of the game a ball went into the yard of a German living nesr by, and soon after another followed it. The Ger- man confiscated the balls and bore them into his dwelling. The boys failed to see the justice of this pro- ceeding, and marching up to the house ina body, demanded that the ball be restored to them. The German re- plied with langusge more vigor- ous than refined, when the Eoys, becoming excited, picked up some clods of dirt and slung them at him. One of them struck the German's wife; whereupon the Teuton, becom- ing exasporated, launched & brick at the party, which struck an innocent spectator in the head. The army re- tired under this volley from the enemy but soon returned and commenced ac- tive operation with brickbats. The Dutchman responded vigorously, and sent for re-inforcements, fwhich soon acrived in the shape of a big bull dog from a neighboring house. But the canine did not feel disposed to face the enemy, who presented a very for- midable front. Finally the battle was terminated by the German's produc- ing a revolver, which caused the noble knight's of the diamond to res treat in disorder, and hoetilities were ceased for the day. Yesterday steps were taken] by the German to arrest the belligerents. He claims that the pistol was not loaded, and that the provacation was entirely on the boys’ part.

The Minnesota resorts are becoming every yoar more and more popular in Nebraska, and a number which has already become very larze make ita custom to pass a portion of the summer at the Minnesota lakes. The first Minnesota excursion of the present sesson will lesve Omaha on June 30, at 3:45 p. m., going over the Sioux City & Pacific and Sioux City & St. Paul lines. The fare for the round trip to St. Paul aud retarn has been fixed at §18.35; tickets good for sixty days.
