6 f THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1800 LIFE AMONG THE RED MEN The Monoteny of Existence at the Pine Ridge Agency. SIMPLE SURROUNDINGS OF THE SAVAGES. Graphic Descriptions of the Bad Lands Where Hostiles Are Secarcly Entrenched Against the ‘White Man's Attack. Rinar Acexcy, S. D, Deo. 6. toTue Bee|—Without the trim- mings and spirit given it | ons from the ghost dance and military, lifo on an ln- dian reservation must be dull enough to cause the half animated, long haired, blanket- swathed musk bags that make up nine and three-quarter tenths of the inhabitants, swim their tepees in tears and then go blind, It Is the kind of life that makes the white-faced ehild of civilization look forward to a ticket- ofdeave as i capital prize, compared with a meal ticket, Such are the impressions that have boiled down to tough facts with me during the two weeks I have been he Never before have 1 witnessed proof of the platonic wisdom evinced by the man who origrinated the idea of making a representation of an Indian the trade marik of the tobacconist. Whoever he was, the memory of that man is worthy of be- ing perpetuatea by something which speaks with greater eloquence than a cigar store. You get up in the morning and find these clgar sign models posing on the littlo knolls and avout every ten feot, along side of the agency fences and buildings. They aremotion- less, absolutely motionless, Pass them as often during the day as you will, and you can dis- cover scarcely tue slightest change in the position of head, hand or foot. The one mis- sion of scores of them scems to be simply that of standing motiouless, snug up against the five strauds of barbed wire that every- where enclose the private precinets of the ageney, Accost them, and all you receive in_return ts a grunt and a foolish"look. Give them a picce of silver or o cigarette and you g simply a more foolish look and possivly a pair of grunts. They will generally § twice if the mft is a cicarette, for oh they love cigarettes and can smoke them with as much grace as_a Spanish senorita or a Parisian belle. Never go on a mission among Indians without first filling your pockets with cigarettes. They will bo Worth more to han gold dollars or bank bills, for they at gold dollurs and tell you bank bills are no good, silver dollars being about the only form of money that they recognize. But the majority of theso government wards keep their feet, agoing in_drag style the greater portion of each day of their mon- otonous and almost aimless existence. This moving of their fect means little more than the carrying of their cowners to and fro between teepee and agency, and off over the wills toround up ponies, Seldom, how- ever, do_you see tiem move fuster than the slowest walk imaginable, while to soe one of them running is a sure cause for alarm of a greater or lesser degree, Very little of this, however, applies to the Indian cmployes about tho arly all of thom live and moveliio persons pos sessed of bright minds, a definite purggse and tireless energy and devotion to the in hand. The most highly educated in the employed are the Indian gymen, teachers, and “older members of the police force. Among these I have found a few men who are very bright, well posted talkers upon nearly every subject. To anex- cetlent fund of varied informatio native keeuness of wit, all demc flattering possibilities of their race—the sibility of ranking side by side with the white man when given an equal chance, But lets take a bird's-aye view of the agency village to which the aves of all Amer- ica have been turning duving the past threo weeks. 1t is reached by a twenty-five mile ride niovtii from Rushvile, the nearest railway sta- tion. Weare just a mile and a half over the Nebraska line in South Dakota. The loc tion is perhaps as fine as any that the purpose could suggest, though it didn’t seem 80 one mormng last week when we awoko and found the. foothills surrounding th agency covered with reds, a large number of whom were half repentant hostiles armed to the teeth, The nost conspicuous building in the place is the government boarding school. 1t is very substautial, three-story wooden s ture, the form of a Greck cross, about 150x150 feet. - Next in size comes the warehouse, then the steam planing mill. Then the eye notices a couple of nasty little churches, and afte ward three lon v structy post trader stoves. Near you notice a small, one-story, tidy looking little building, whers the common school of the agency is held 1n other than such exciting times as the pres- ent, wheu it has had to suspend for want of par! Tnat litte one-story, shackly, dingy. rown builaing standing between thie boa ing school and the warehouse you would per- haps take for a wood shed. But no, that is the seat of authovity for the agency, It doosn’t cover a piece of ground twenty- five fect square, but it is the O my" place of “the whole business.” Its interior s suggestive truly of arrangement planned by the untutored savage of away-back time T'he rocf shelters the Indian council chamber, the police headguarters, the agency supply headquarters, police court room, Agent [:u_v- er’s oftic, and the headquarters of the cap- tain of polico. s Aud at this last named building is a good vlace to pause & moment providing you are not frowned out of sight by the vigilant and very finely uniformed police. If you're a stranger don’t b2 alarmed if you are” placed under arrest and marched before Agent Royer the moment you set your foot within a huidred feet of this same little shackly old brown wooden hut of abuilding. Indeed it is by far the quicker way to got into ~ the sanctum sanctorum. None of these police talk white face, and as you must pass three of them in order to see Dr, Royer, you had better throw up your hands at the outer wicket gate, Then there is the hotel, the'only one in the lace. The landlord is ex-Councilman Jim “inlay of Kansas City who, although keenly anve to stacking up silver cart wheels wnile the ghost dance lasts, is a very genial gentle- man who can give and take a joke upon every othér subjoct but _the differcnce between the census returns of Omaba aud his old home. Fin, as the press gang guartered beneath bis roof have learned to call him, is not only the boss landlord of the place—out of necessity but he is the postmaster and one of the three st traders here, Finlay and Jack Dowling, he Burlington's passenger agent in Omaha, are old friends, And this reminds me of a very interesting ittle fuct. Inalong chat with Red Cloud the other day at toe post- office the fumous old chief spoke of having met Jack Dowling out hero over five years ago on a hunting expedition. Old” Red said that the last thing Jack did in saviog good by was 0 slap him on the back, hand him one of his cards and exclaim : *“Well 0ld man, don't forget us when you're going somewhere! We can send you' right through in_a Pullman to any point in Amer- dcaor the happy hunting ground without change of cars or any side tracking ! And old Red clutched his sides and roared ‘with laughter, I had Red Cloud and Little Wound in to dinner with me tho other day and positivel, 1 nover saw threo mortals put down-eo much neat, bread, potatoes, ete., before in all my Tife, ' The quantity was simply appaling, and 1 never again expect to see the exhibition even touched. The fact of sitting down to a meal with these two notable chiefs whose mames are so prominent in the Indian history of America was one to be proud of. Both of dhem are sworn and bitter cnemies excopt 80 far as the thinnest of outward appearances go. For it will be vo- membered that back in 1868 Red Cloud shot down Little Wound's father while the haud of tho latter was extended in token of peace. It ocourred on the Chug Water creek in Wyoming, at a point known as Eagle's Nest, forty miles southwest of laramie Peak. They were rivals for supremacy as chiefs in the * Sioux on and had always been enemies, A council was finally arranged to settle the matter. When ttle Wound's father, however, came within view of Red Cloud the latter raised his gun and shot him down, notwithstauding the fact that the haud of his old rival was raised, betokening, mocording to Indian custoy, & pledge that e the council should be one of peace. Revengo for this doed is as yet untaken. My intor- preter and I tried our utmost to get fhe two celebritios to talk with one another, but all in vain, Only the merest commonplace remarks were exchanged and those principaily regard- ing the victuals before them. As a rosult of the government rule that no Indian family having children old enough to K0 to school can draw rations when the | children are sent to school, the Fovernment boarding and- day schools here have a good attendance in time of peace. The former has | an average entollment of 200, and each oneof | the eight day schools on the rescrvation, | about sixty. Thereare three teachers in the boarding schiool and the course of instruction | is about the same as that of tho best distr school. The same is applicable to the exght | day schools, with the exception that if uny- thing the course does not zo quite as high. Five Indians and a white man are employed in the reservation harncss shop; there are two wheelrights; two carpenters and one blacksmith, all of them Indians, In times of peace, Agent tells me that it Keeps him busy to late answering requests for favors of oue kind andauother and seeing that the various employes perform their du- ties. And certainly, from what 1 have sesn since coming here, Dr. Royer must, have hands exceedingly full 1 orderto Kbep every- | thing running smoothly even so far as the uctual business of the agency is concerned. Prof. (. B, Baiioy of the school of mines of Dakota gave me a very interesting talk on the bad lands, in which the hostle Indians have now entrenched themselves, and which promise to be the seene of some of the worst s thatany of the government troops had. ~The professor said: he corabined forces of the red w these us Indian resorvations hi chosen oue of the wildest and most mace ble regions in the entire northwest as the battle ground against the forces of civillza tion and progress. The bad lands, s they are most a ppropriately called by both whites and Indians, are a wonderland, - Riding about thirty miles northwest from here onesuddenly comes to the edge of a precipice from 200 to 500 feetin depth. You may travel for miles along this edge before finding a break that will allow you to desceud to the region below. Once downi, and the region is a vast inland lake or sea, 110 miles long, northeast to southwest, and from fifteen to forty miles wide.

President Mears returned yesterday from a hunt in the nortbwestern part of the state, He made a wholloping kill of geescand ducks and would have brought back a scalp or two, but after killing his Indians he discovered that he had lost his scalping knife, The tournamnent netted the club a snug sum, which comes very handy just now, as thers ure many improvements to be made, A high-ive party is on tapis for some evén- ing this week at the club room. The game is becoming very popular with tho bykers, It is the general opinion that Referre Kastman made a great mistake in allowing Potter to return to the track after he had sig- nified his intention of quitting in the recent 100-mile race. In a measure it detracted from the interest in the struggle. The Apollo club has within its ranks somo of the fastest ridersin the west. There is Flescher, who holdsthe two-mile L. A, W, championship dof the state, and Den- man, who holds the one-milo state champion- ship, Tagger, the four-hour state champion- ship, and Pixley, Wertz, Mears and Holton, all of whom are up with the best on ordin- aries, Then there are Dickey, Underwood and Calkins, who can hold their own with any safety riders in the -west. The club raciag team, which embraces Denman, Flescher, Pixley and Wertz, is ready aud willing to meet any team in' the the safety man, will have a new Ormonde racer next spring, on which he ex- pects to do some good Wo! Henry Tagger, the four-hour champion, has signified his intention of retiring from the racing path. « © Beard rode in fino shape in the ten- o, considering that he was riding o wheel two inches too large for him and that he had not been on a wheel forovera year until two ks before the race. George was in a fair way to win the race had it not been for the referee's foolish move in allow- ing meu to leave the track and rest up, then l"cluruhw and riding the good men off their cet. Rioycles cannot be regarded as *‘personal effects.”” They are, however, ranked as “housebold effects” by the treasury depart- ment of United States at Washington. It is reported that Windle will retire from lh{)’mring path und go into business for him- self, It is noticed with a good deal of interest that the disposition of Tur Bee's cyclescribo is to cast reflections on the recent Apollo tournament. Now the Apollos wish itto be distinetly understood that they do not cara to fight their battles in the columns of a news- paper, but prefer to fight them in the proper place, namely, on the “racing path.” The Omaha Whaeel Club, The December meeting of the Omaha wheel club took place last Tuesday evening, Prosident Badollet was in the chair and dis- wosed of a large amount of regular business with his usual cleverness and dispatch. Porterfield was all there, whioh was une R e TR e 5 usual, and his whiskers presented a very aggressive front. It is surprising how respone sibility and whiskers go hand In hand in this life. Perrigo was thoro, too, but forgot his kick and was thus handicapped early in the race, The kick has been doing business at the old stand since, however. Captain Emerson was absent (minded), but is supposed to be writing a story entitled, “A Midsun ¢ Rom , or, An August Trip to Boston,” in which case his absence was ex- cusable, Gould Dietz escaped from the soclal whirl long enot wér to roll call but made his adicu early in the evening to keep a press- ing engagement. Owing to ladies' night conflicting with other social events it was changed from Thursday to Wednesday night. On this ovening of each week tho freedom of the club will be extended to its friends of the fair sex, A high five tournament was decided on and on Mouday cvenings the lovers of the great aha game will mect in friondly contest. ars, Townsend, Seth Rhodes and Livesay y appointed to take charge of the tournas mentand buy and award prize As the O.

On Wednesday evening, December 10, a musicale_followed by dancing will be given for the O. W. C. members and their lad friends, Messrs, Cowle, Rhodes and Mat- thews will do the honors and provide an en- joyable programme. A lively party of O, W, C. boys attended the theater {a a body Wednesday night and enjoyed themselves as only wheel boys can.

S Potty’s Wondertul Shooting. Osama, Neb, Dec. lo the Sporting Editor of Tue Bee: I wish to call your at- tention toa little turkey shooting I witnessed a few days since and which I consider worthy of mention. While out walking over near the cast end of the bridge I saw a group of riflemen shooting at turkeys. I went down to the group and asked where the turkey was, when one of the shooters pointed up the bar and remarked: “Don't you seeit standir g there!” 1 looked carefully and finally discovered a little dark object that resembled a crow, which I soon saw was the turkey. I asked the distance, and _was informed that it was 340 measured yards. I watched them shoot, and saw the sand fly all about the bird, some to the left, some to the right, while some of the bullets did not reach more than half way to his turkeyship. It looked like fooling away time, money and ammunition z?-xng to kill turkeys at thatdistance off-hand. The last man called was John l’ctli’, ono of our oldest ana best known shots. He stepped to the scrateh, leveled his Winchester and fired, and with a flop or two down went Mr. Turkey to the sands with a bullet hole through his body. The shooting continued with no further bloodshed uutil it came Petty’'s turn again, and again did theturkey join the silent majority, The arty putting up the turkeys here objected to l’ully's shooting, and the sport continued until almost dark, when he was allowed one ‘more shot, and again, as wonderful as it may seem, he killed his bird. Now, I call this re- markableshooting. Petty fircd three shots at 440 yards straight off-haud and killed his turkey each time. Iunderstand he is just as handy with @ shot gun, and if so is surely & world beater, I have attended many shoot- ing matches in the east, where they shot at turk with a dead vest at 100 and 200 yards, and then even ecach bird brought thrice its value before a feather was ruffled, OrvSuon Missouri Valley's Record.
