It is a forty-five mile ride and will require the entire day. While the commissioner was here he received re- ports from ramchmen, which indicate that the slaughter of game has been unpre- cedented in the history of the state. Old timers in this country predict trouble with the Indians before they are finally removed to their reservatiouns. DENVER, Colo,, Nov. 26.—Adjutant Gen- eral Overmeyer today wired troop A, cavalry, at Grand Junction to be in readi- ness for an immediate call, in case Game Commissioner Johnson's force should not be equal to the Indians in the White river district. This troop is known as “Over- meyer's Rough Riders” and is made up of ploneers, cowboys and crack shots of tho western elope. There are sixty men in the troop and General Overmeyer shipped forty saddles, bridles, cinches and ammunition for a two weeks' Indian rald through the mountains. This troop of cavalry is much closer the sceme of the | Indian depredations than the Denver troops and could be on the ground within twenty- four hours from receipt of notice to start.

In the past the Indian agents have kept the White Rivers on the reservation because of the bitter fecling of the tribe toward the whites, who, they claim, took posses- slon of lands belonging to them without right or treaty. It is reported that even a larger number of Indians than the 600 previously reported have left the reservation and are slaughier- ing hundreds of deer in the vicintly of the Yama and White rivers. Commissioner Johnson will station pick- ets at the state line to prevent the passing of the Indian pack trains with their tons of plunder from the staf He Is dete mined to arrest some of the Indlans with game in their possession, if possible, in order to have the laws regarding Indlan raids tested. This afternoon Governor Thomas re- celved a communication from Secretary of the Interfor Hitchcock, at Washington, stating in substance that the department had sent its Indlan agent to scour north- western Colorado for marauding Indlans, but had failed to find one. There was a hint in the communication that this would officially end the correspondence so far the government was concerned. Instead of pacifying the governor, it had a tendency to make him more vigorous in Ml application of the state law. He claims to have a dozen reports from as many different men on file, proving con- clusively that the Indians have slaughtered over 500 deer in Routt and Rlo Blanco counties . INDIANS ARE IN HARD LUCK Rations Ordered Stopped in the Face of Crop Faflure and with Little or No Work in Sight. FORT YATES, N. D., Nov. 26.—The In- dians have accepted with philosphy the recommendation of Commissioner Jones that their rations be immediately stopped. Their condition is pitiable, their crops were a total fallure and thelr ratlons are just enough to keep them allve. The reserva- tion is totally unfit'for anything, but graz- ing and the Indlans can never support them- selves by farming. As for labor, there fs absolutely nothing for them to do.

If is said that the money taken by this clerk was agreed upon belng $467. According to instructions from the coun- cll City Prosecutor Murphy will confess judgment in favor of J. B. Watkins & Co. for $990 for lumber supposed to have been furnished to the city, and the Broadwell- Rich Coal company for $64.

Saloon Men Held Up, Two saloon keepers in South Omaha were held up and robbed shortly after mid- night Surday night. The first af- fair occurred at the saloon of Al Harder, Thirty-ninth and L streets. While Harder was preparing to close up and the two or three loungers were saying good-nigh two men, one tall and the other short, rusned Into the place and commanded ““Hands up.” There was no time spent in parleying, as each of the robbers held a young cannon in each hand. While one of the robbers lined the occupants of the place up against the wall the other devoted his attention to the cash register. After cleaning up everything In sight the robbers left the suloon as quickly and as quietly as they had entered it. Harder at once took an Inventory and found that he was minus $150 in cash, a gold watch and a shotgun. The police huve been given a partial de- scription of the highwaymen, the fact that they wore handkerchiefs over their faces preventing the glving of an accurate de- scription. One point was noticed, and that was both robbers wore soft slouch hats‘and short dark overcoats. Half an hour after this robbery the loon of Steve Schultz, Thirty-third and L streets, was entered by two men and every- one was ordered to line up against the Wall. There were a dozen men in this place and they nearly fell over themselves in getting to the wall. The order to line up was enforced by the flourishing of four re- volvers in the hands of the bandits. When the ltneup was satistactorily arranged the short man of the two went through the till and secured $50 In money. When the cash had been secured the robbers hurriedly left the saloon, swearing vengeance on the first man to give the alarm. At this place both robbers wore black stiff hats.

Co., Lynn, Masa RENTAL AGENT, Grouad Fleor, w GURE vhnunrl Big @ for un i You Feel Well If you have any of the fo lowing symptoms, take warning at once: Is your appetite poor or changeable, diges- tion poor, fullness in stomach, belching of gas, vomiting sour liquid and partly di- gested food, pain and soreness at pit of stomach, drowsiness after meals, wakeful- ness and headache, absence of mental vigor, defective mem- ory, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh, nervousness, cold feet and hands, bad white and breath, brown coating on the tongue, night sweats, remember nature is trying to warn you of the appreoach of dys- pepsia. If allowed to become chronic, dys- pepsia is one of the most distressing dis- diseases to which mankind is heir. Dr. Kay’s Renovator acts directly upon the mu- cous membrane. Patching up with pep- sin and other drugs for temporary reliet is only opening the way for a general break down. I, Kay’s enovator goes to tne founda- tion. It brings the digestive organs to a natural state, when they can act as the | effects. creator intended them to act. It reno- vutes the whole syse tem. It purifies and enriches the blood. Read what W. R. Roberts, for years cashier of the Citizen's Bank of Omaha, says: “I slept poorly and was in a terrible condition. I took Dr. Kay's Renovator and found it to be the best remedy I ever used. I took no other medicine and in a short time gained forty pounds. 1 am now in excellent health, I found this medicine most pleasant; no griping, no sick- ness at the stomach, but a com- plete renovator. I voluntarily recommend it to anyone who has indigestion. I now sleep well, eat well and am free from cold hands and feet. In my family I rely on Dr. Kay’s Ren- ovator for biliousness, constipa- tion, indigestion or any disturb- ance of the digestive organs. It renovates and regulates the sys- tem and never leaves any evil I seldom need to take the Renovator now, but I think a few doses taken occasionally when I feel the slightest signs of any disturbance have been of great value to me in keeping me in the best of health. One 25c box will convince anyone that it surpasses the whole train of pills and cathartics usually taken.” Don't take any substitute that anybody tells you 1s just as good, for it positively hll no equal.
