9 r4 COPPER-COLORED CRANKS Doings of the “Dreamers” at the Indian Agency Near Shawano, Wis, The Agent Frightened out of His Wits. pondence Ch Time HAWANO, Wis,, August 20.—For soveral years past there has been a | ation among the Indians | of the west and northwest, and the | government has taken steps to crush | it ont but without success. In the spring of 1880, de ions of Potta | wattamies, Chippe and Winne- | bagoes made their appearance on the | Menominee reservation in this state, and succeeded in getting a society started among what are known as the pagan bands of the Menominees, not- withstanding the efforts of the agent to prevent them, When annuity day arrived, being the final payment by the government to the Menominees, in accordance with instructions from Washington, payment was withheld from members of the society until th took an oath pledging themselves nev- er to have anything more to do with the secret organization. Every man took the oath, and the agent became satisfied that he had stamped out the vipei. On Wednesday of last week rumors came in and announced that a large band of Pottawattamies had put in an appearance and proposed reor- ganizing the society. A council was called of all the chiefs of the Menom- inees, and 1t was decided that the strangers should be compelled to leave the reservation. After the necessary preliminary arrangements had been made, the agent, native police and chiefs made their way on Fri- day to the spot where the strangers had gono into camp. On arriving at the scene of action it was found that a circle had been made of logs and over two hundred Indians were present, indulging in a grand dance. In the centre of the inclosure was a large Indian drum, while seated on the ground were about twenty In- dians, sticksin hand, pounding the drum for dear life, at the same time keeping up a monotonous song that evidently consisted of but few words, such as “‘Ha-ha-ha-ho!” Surround- ing the musicians were two rows of men, while on the outside were the squaws. Two of the principal actors were called out, and informed that the dance must cease at once, and the strangers leave the reservation. A consultation was held on the inside of the inclosure, the result being that the denands of the agent, notwithstand- ing he was acting under orders from Washington, were disobeyed. Four of the leaders were arrested and placed in irons, but this, instead ot having a quieting effect, only caused the red men to become still more ex- cited, and the whole party surrounded the agent, and drew their knives and tomahawks, at the same time ruising the war whoop of the Pottawatomies, For a short time it looked as though some one would lose his scalp, and that ene was the agent. He called to his guards, but they were evidently too badly frightened to be of any as- sistance. The agent finally succeeded in getting on the outside of the circle, when the four prisoners were sur- rounded by the guards and marched to Keshena. The government party had been in Keshena but a short time with their prisoners when a runner came in from the enemy, who demanded the release of the prison- ers, and threatened that unless the demand was complied with measures would be taken to rescue them. Hay- ing a small and poorly organized force under his orders, the prisoners were released and returned to their friends. The whites in Keshen became fright- ened and, with a single exception, they all took a hasty flight at night for Shawano, distant eight miles, while the agent made his way to the nearest telegraph station, where he wired to Washington for instructions. An answer came to the effect, ‘‘Enroll men enough on the police force to compel the invaders to leave the res- ervation.” The surrounding country ‘was in an uproar, and hardly ml{onu felt sure that hisor her scalp would be in the place where nature intended it should be for any length of time, Thus matters remained, the dancers keeping right along until Tuerday morning, when the Pottawat- tomies took their departure. On Monday morning a Times representa- tive left Shawano for the scene of action, On arriving at the border of the reservation he was reminded of army life by hearing a gruff voice say “‘Halt!” and at the same time a man, riflo in hand, stepped to tho side of the buggy and demanded his business. He became satisfied, after a close in- spection, that it was not one of the much-dreaded Pottawatomies, and al- lowed the seribe to pass. Before reaching the office of the agent he was brought to & stand-still three times by armed guards, who olosely scanned his foaturcs, The agent was found seat- ed in his office, reading a dispatch from Governor Smith inquiring into the reported troubles. Mr, Ste- phens, the agent, was evidently in an unhappy frame of mind, but still he showed a determination to expel the intruding Pottowattomies, On Tuosduy moruing the correspondent visited the camp of the disturbi spirits, distant five miles, the prin pal part of the way being through a dense forest. When within about two miles of the camp an Indian runner, | mqunted on a & pony, passed ata lively rate oi speed, evidently bent on telling friends that strangers were ap- proaching. A short distance from the camp guards were encountered, who, as fwe passed, fell into line b hind, and thus were we es- corted to the camp, Here were about two hundred Indians, tricked out with their finery, the most of them having their faces painted a bright vermillion, the spots being still furthor ornamented with black streaks. Ponies and papooses were nuwmerous, the whole forming a wild scene. An interpreter nformed the Indiaus that the intruder was a news- paper man in search of information and not scalps, when a circle was formed, a mat placed on the ground, @ pile of tobacco put in the centre of the same, and finally a small Ameri- can flag was planted. The whi‘es were invited to be seated, when the leader of the band wounted the | several | Calvinists or Americs nd made a speech or welecome to the strangers. When |he had completed, a pipe was filled, tighted and, and passed from n other, each one taking a | “suck.” Several spe interspersed_with Indian music and dancing.. The speakers claimed that they came on the reser that they in "mm; of pine tre hes were in dulged in [ vation as invited guosts, |tended no harm, their mission on | | earth being that of peace, and they | were sorry their g been misconstrued ment. After the speeches, a grand | farewell dance was indulged in, old and young, males and females taking part. At the conclusion of the dance the Indians mounted their ponies and made their way in the direction of their homes, thus closing another big scare, which at one time looked like business. the govern A POSTMAN'S LOVE, He Sues His Adored for Breach of Promise. Philadelphia Record, Very, very often confiding woman is duped by deceitful man, and the even hand of the law is invoked to adjust tho damages of a broken heart and a wasted faith., A West Phila- delphia letter-carrier has reversed this order, and he sues for legal damages to heal the wound which his fond and forgiven Jove for a Miss Killey has suffered in a summary dismissal from her affections and her presence. In the language of the small boy, he ‘“‘got the mitten,” The parties to this novel suit are \\'infiul}ds Hansbury, living on the corner of Seneca and Market streets, a postman, and Miss Julia 8. Killey, who lives with her widowed mother at No. 712 North Thirty-ninth street. The faithless lady was away at Ocean Grove yesterday, and therefore could not be seen. The lonely lover, a good-looking young letter-carrior from the West Philadelphia postoffice, told tho fol- lowing story of his wrongs: About four years ago he met Miss Killey in the church which they both attended. Their intimacy soon ripened into an engagement, and ‘“‘all went happy as a marriage bell” until a year ago, when, noticing a growing cool- ness toward him on the lady's part, he found she had been re- ceiving attentions from William Sav- age, the keeper of a ladies’ notions store in New York, whom the lady had met at Ocean Grove. The cool- ness culminated last November in an open breach. No more meotings oc- curred until February of this year, when the lady put her pride in her pocket 12 advances to her for- saken swain, App ing him after the Sunday servico she pleaded for ro- conciliation, but was rebuffed. On the next day she again pleaded with him,and Hansbury gave in and forgave her jilting, Again happiness was re- stored. In April, May and June the letter-carrier received from his lady love twenty letters full of re- pentance for the past and promises for the future. In one letter she pasted a newspaper slip containing the account of the killing of a man in Denver, Col., by the husband of the woman the man had run away with, andwshe wrote under it these words: I eannot but paste this slip in when 1 think that T have been just such a wicked woman.” But again the at- traction of Savage, who had come to the city to see the girl, began to ab- sorb her affections. Heartbroken, Hansbury began to press for an im- mediate marriage, but to no avall, Again there was an estrangement. On the 2d of August last the lover in desperation wrote declaring that he would not give up his claim to her hand, Two days after this Miss Kil- ley met him in the cars, and asked him if he still loved her. Again he relented and forgave her. Five days later he got a note from her finally dismissing him, This was more than he could stand; so he sought the solace of the law, and secks in the civil court, by a summons returnable tho first Monday in September, to obtain damages as a salye for his injured love and a balm for his blighted faith, = RELIGIOUS, A Mormon temple is being erected in San Francisco, Rev.
