New sidevalks aro going provement o the order of the day. A flouring mill considered to be the best in the valley is located herc, Tts original coet was $20,000, and a largo amount is being expended in its im- provement. Two warelhouses are to be erected here this fall to accomodate the grain business of the town. Two churches are to be built, and other buildings too numerous to men- sion in detail. The cause of all this boom is trace- able to large gan in the production of the farming lands resulting from the inorease rain fall and the demand for place by tho incoming homo seekcrs, The farmer from the east can find the best land ever turned out of nature’s work shop at prices that range from three to five dollars an acre for raw prairie, and from cight to twelve for improved farms. The stock intorests are large and conetantly increasing as this 1s con- sidered the great feeding and fatten- ing district of the Republican valley, “Dhere are vast herds of sheep, aud | theee are found to be among the most profitable of stock. There are about 45,000 head of wool makers in this county. One of the cattlo kings, Mr. N. Leach, has amassed a very neat for- tune since he located in the valley, and all the others are on the same road.

For particulars apply to the same firm, There are plenty of men here who began business with only a few hun- hred dollars that can now show assots away up in the thousands, and yot there is room for more. Yes, there's room enough for all, The wost is u great and glorious country, and if there are objections to Superior the home-seeker won'’t have to look far to find just what is wanted. The west, clamerous for settlement and improvement, is now, and tor many years has been, and for many years will be, the favorite field of operations for a set of conscienocless swindlers who make great promises of doing wonders for the locality they are then in, and who claim to repre- sent some prominent daily and who really are in many cases agents for themselves only. The money they get is clear gain for them. Again, there is another class who obtain com- missions and are accredited corres- pondents, but they fail to give the article they bargain to insert. Many charge large sums for their lettors, down | overywhere, and progress and iim-| etructor as the relation of d adviser.

About the year 1854, a Brule Sioux was wantonly shot by a white man, a Missourrian, on the California over-| land route, beyond Fort Laramic m | Dakota Territory. In retaliation for this murder Spotted Tail was sent out by Red Leaf at the head of a band. TO ATTACK A STAGE COACH From Council Bluffs to Salt Lake. Spotted Tail attacked the co killed the passengers, including t Lake ant, whom he robbed of £4,000 Out of this grew the In- dian war resulting in the battle at | Ash Hollow, where the Sioux were badly whipped by Gen. Harnoy stted Tail was captured and re- death, in the jail at Fort Leaven- worth, vntil he “was pardoned out by President Buchar From the time of regaining his liberty, Spotted Tail seems to have changed his course towards the whites, and his good will towards them was more than ever cemented by the fol- lowing event, which was first_ written up for the Missouri Republican in 1867, by a correspondent of this papor then with the Indian Peace commis sion. 1t has been written up sub- sequently by other correspondents, with sundry embellishments, but these are facts, as corroborated by Col. Henry A, Maynadier, an OFF ERS OF DISTINGUISHED REPUTE, In the spring of 1866 Col. Mayna- dier, in command at Fort Laramie, re- ceived a messenger from Pegaleska (Spotted Tail), head chief of the Brule Sioux, informing him that his daughter had died on the way to the fort, and had begged her father to bury her among the whites. The commander was asked to permit it to be done. The girl was aged 17 years, but Col. Maynadier, knew her five years before, when she was a child of 12. She died from exposure and in- ability to endure the severe labor and hardship of the wild Indian lif§ Col. Maynadier complied with the child’s request, and rode out to meet him and the funeral cort- ege half way between the fort and the Platte river. The commandant sympathized deeply with the chief’s application and assured him that he felt honored by his confidence in com- mitting to his care the remains of a child whom he loved so much. The funeral was held as the sun went down that it might remind the dis- consolate chief of the darkness left in his lodge when his beloved daughter was taken away. The chief exhibited deep emotion and tears fell from his eyes, o rare occurrence in an Indian, and for some time he could nct speak. At length, taking the hand of Col. Mayadrier, he said ;: ** This must be a dream for me to be in such a fine room and surrounded by such as you. | Have I been asleep during the last four years of hardship and trial and am_dreaming that all is to be well | in, or is this real? Yes, I see that itis. The beautiful day, the blue sky wiflmul a cloud, the wind calm and stil UIT TIE ERRAND I COME and remind me that you have offered me peacc.

A high scaffold of posts was erected in one corner of the soldiers’ cemetery anda coffin made. Just be- fore sunset the body was carried to the scaffold, followed by her father, mother and other relatives, with the c]llurluill, commanding oflicers and the soldiers of the garrison, and many Indians, A touching prayer was offered amid profound silence, and the hour, the place, the solemnity, even the restrained weeping of these children of the forest, is described as having been deeply affecting, The oceurrence was regarded among the oldest settlers and wen of experience regarding the Indian character, as un- precedented and caleulated to secure a lasting impression, In approaching Fort Laramie, the clevated platform, on the top of which rests the box in- closing the chief’s daughter, can be seen from a long distance, The skulls of two ponies slain, as is the Indian custom, when a prominent personage is interred, are fastened to X THE POSTS SUSTAINING THE COFFIN, And for many yoars the latter was covered with a pall of crimson cloth until it rotted away.

As to Turkey-Leg, the following curi ous fact in lis history may bo worth ting: About ten years ago tempt HE HAD A SON, A brave, who siarted out on the war- path. His first.adventure was an at- tempt to steal horses near the Chug- water, about midway between Fort Laramie and Chey:nne, The young man was waylaid and shot from am- bush. He fell from his horse, but langing to the laviat, he was dragged I mile to the side of the road, stopped and “covered the th her shawl, leaving it there as an impression of decent respect to humanity. The next summer Mr, Felix R. Brunot and the late Color Robert Campbell were holding acounci as Indian commissioners with the Sioux and Northern Cheyennes at Fort Laramie, when Turkey - Leg came in bringing with him THE BO s OF HIS SON, which he had brought from the Chug- water, about fifty miles distant, and he was going to carry them home, about 100 miles beyound Fort Fetter- man, to give them burial.
