Pawneo Connty News. donce of e Lan Crry, November 14.—The election is over and more democrat yotes were counted fn this off year than ever before. This city wants a telephone ex- "I hange, a first-clasa hotel and an opera house. This county has had threo different treasurers sinece June lat, 1881, But the difliculties of the past are ecare- fully abridged in futuro by the elec- tion of Hon. W. J. Halderman to that office, King ond Custer. On being dis- charged in 1870, Sebastian Beck sct up a shocmaker's shop and scttled down with his famiiy $o tho dllu youtine of Chicago life, his shingle being out near Syke's Brewery, on Oottago Grove avenue, where ho and three men wero busily employed in'at- tending to his customers and his affairs prospered generally. HE WAS RESTLESS however, and when the Black Hills excitement broke out, he soldfisshon, packed his goods snd with his wife, two girls, aged 18 snd 16 years, re- spectively, and a son of twelve yoears, Joft Chicago, March 18th, 1875 to hunt gold. He eame to Omsha by the Rock Island route, thenee went to Cheyenne and there with 8 company of twenty-five families, under the londership of Gen. Carpenter, of Sedalia, hn., purchazed wagons and six mouths provisions and started for the new Eldorado. It was about this time that the president ordered the arrest of all invadors of this gold country and it would have been well if this party had started & little later but they escaped surveill- ance and reached THB DLACK JLLS, where they went to work at what is known as St. John’s mine, in Dead- woodgulch. Beck's family was quar- tered in a log house about tgxmu- fourths of a milo from tho shaft. On the 18th of July, the camp was surprised and surrounded by Sitting Bull’s band of Sioux and as resistence was uscless they submitted to be seiz- od tc the music of the war whoop, tied to ponies and carried off into cap- tivity, squaw wives and a diet of raw buflalo meat and sage tea. Beck was taken from the shaft, with tho rest of the men, while his family was also carried away, but directly from their home. Ho has never seen them from that day to this and does not even know whether they are alive or not. TAKEN TO ROSEBUD, ‘The prisoners were carried to the Rosebud, where there were at the time four hundred ledges of Sioux and tho captives were given their choico between marrying squaws and ‘becoming member: the band, or death. They had threedays to choose and at the termination of that period all wisely concluded to become bride- oms, The dusky maid who fell to ebastian’s lot was a Cheyenne girl, then about 18 years of age, who had herself been made o captivo at the age of eleven and had becomedomesticated with the BSioux. Her namo was “‘Monica,” which meauns when trans. lated, “my Love,” Incidently it may be mentioned that this marriage resulted in tho addition of another languago to the list of Mr. Beck’s acquirements. Ho talked English origiually, was compelled to talk Sioux to the Indiaus and con- versed with Monica in the musical di- alect of the Cheyennes. The captives wero obliged to dress like Tndians, learn the Indian language ana 1 fact divest themselvos of overy habit and appearance of civilization, Five weeks later our hero had on his warpaint and headgear and, clad in o tunic made from Buflulo hide, wa the Little Big Horn in time tobe an unwilling witness of the massacre, Ho gives a graphic do- seription of the scences following that bloody chapter of Indian warfare, The bodies were plundered of everything of wvalue, stripped and mutilated beyond all recognition. Then the Indians mount. ed their ponios and rodo off in great glee for tho British frontier, They shouted their war cries exultantly and danced, standing upon the ponies, while going st a break-neck speed. IN MANITOBA the sufferings endured were terrible The poor wretchos ate only raw buf- falo meat and drank sage tea, thank- ful when they could got that, Their leggns and clothing was all worn out and all they lad to wear was a buflalo robe, which kept one vortion of the body warm while the other portion was freezing. Beck says he could have cscaped by desert- ing Monica but she was eo gentlo and kind to him that he could not leave her to the mercy of the savages and the dangers of a coutinucd exile, Sho was greatly attuched to him and in fact 8 mutusl love sprang up and was made stronger by tho birth of two papposes, now aged four and one-half and three and one- half respectively, while the mature bridegroom adds, ‘‘{hereis a third one on the road.” Monica was & good squaw and made A PAITHFUL RO TEM SPOUSE, _Of course, during his stay with the Bioux, Mr, Beck be ¢ proficient in the savage arts of his captors, an ex- pert rider, a crack shot, and acquired 8 knowledge of the Bioux and Cheyennelanguages. When Sitting Bull surrendered and returned to Standing Rock agency, the captives all returned safo sound, but so disguised as to More hay has been made in this county this year than for ten years paat, Diphtheria and croup are boginning their ravages of destruction in parts of this sounty very early in the season this year.

The other ecounty officors euch as coroner, superin- tendent of achools, surveyor, were not contested, and their election s no indioation of the relative seoendancy of parties in the eounty. The demo- crats now have control of our county aflairs, having a majority of the board of eoramimsioners, the sheriff and elerk wlso. Wotwithstanding this virtual demoesatie victory, this county on the atate ticket gave nearly s thousand majority. Laat fall it also gave about the same for Garfield. On any direct issuo between republieans and democrats involving any mational or fundamental issws Baline sounty is overwhelmingly republican. 1t would also be uniformily and ovee- whelmingly republican in its election of oounty officers were it not that sc many of the party are utterly disgust- ed with the management of party af- falrs in Baline. A few mem, promi- nent among whom is J, W. Dawes, have for rome years past attempted to subordinate party interests and the public welfare to their wmbition to sccuroe purely personal and private ends. Mr. Dawes eapecially, it is well known, has for some time been cove- tous of the govenor's chair, or in de- fault of that would like a seat in con- gress.
