An Impregnable Subterra- nean House Among: Nicol- let County Hills. One of the Men Wounded at Northfleld Dies in the Grewsome Cave, Remarkable Discovery of a Party of Rabbit-Hunting Young Farmers. Special to the Globe. Le Sueub, Minn., Dec. 19. —Great ex- citement prevails in Le Sueur and Nic- ollet counties over the discovery in Lake Prairie township, Nlcoliet county, of the subterranean rendezvous of the Younger and James boys and their band of outlaws before and after their raid upon the Northheld bank, in 187G, in which six men were killed. One of the Missouri banditti evidently died in this wonderfully constructed home in the e&riu, as Ins bones were found there. Yesterday afternoon a party of young farmers started out on a rabbit shoot- ing expedition, and while traversing what is known as the Barney Fay ra- vine from its foot or base toward its head, one of the party stumbled and fell, rollins down an embatiKinont to the bed of a creek. In attempting to icramble back up tho bank, ho discov- ired an old weather beaten door, which was held to its place by i couple of pieces of leather. This door stood partly ajar, Bpened into an apartment as dark as midnight, and as mysterious ns it was iark. The young man shouted to his tompanious, who promptly responded, •nd, after carefully surveying the ex- tenor of the mysterious premises, a lantern was sent for and a thorough ex- ploration of the interior was com- menced. The first apartment entered was a common duc-out,only about eight feet square, and had seemingly been nsed as a sort of anteroom, with Earthen Floor ami Walls; but on the back ena or side a space of about six feet was covered from the ceiling to the ground floor with hewed logs stood on end and close together. In these logs were numerous nails, driven apparently for the purpose of hanging clothing. A careful examina- tion, however, revealed the fact that these logs formed a "blind" door, which led into a room some twenty feet long and perhaps sixteen feet wide, along oneside I which bunks were arranged something after the fashion of berths on a steamboat, and from the number of these at least thirty persons had found sleeping accommodations in this se- cluded and mysterious place of abode. This room contained several benches and stools, an old table, tin plates and cups, kettles, a No. 9 cook stove and various cooking utensils. In one corner stood an old box on end, which had evidently served as a cupboard, near which was found a rough board box which had been used as a flour chest. This box was partitioned off. and one end contained some thirty or forty pounds of buckwheat Hour. Several old, faded Decks of l*l:i} ins Cards, a few old newspapers, and a badly di- lapidated copy of "Kit Carson" were found scattered about on the rude slab floor. In the book was found this poor- ly-written letter, which was apparently from Frank James to James Younger Inreference to the stealing of some horses: Eltsian, Minn., April B.— Friend Jim :I think you hud better not come for a few days more. I was in Le Sueur this week, and mere was a good deal of talk about organizing a vigilance committee to scour the country inseacrb of the gray' marcs, and I think it willbe Lest to wait a little, as you know these cussed vigilance committees Won't wait for judge or juryor anything else. If they get after us it will be a case of kill or pet killed. By tho way, Jim, do you know thai I am a little suspicious of Brown, •who clnimed to hail from Wisconsin when lie joined us, and Ed told me iho other day that he knows positively of. three differ- ent loners received by Brown which were postmarked at Chicago. Ue may be one of those d—d Pinkerton detectives for ail we know, and the sooner we investigate his case the better it will be. He seems like a jolly, brave fellow, and I would be sorry to find him to be a traitor and have to "plant"him, but self- protection is the first law of nature, you know, and it is best to be on the safe Bide. 1 expect to be over at the "Half-Way" Borne time next week. I wish you would meet me there. I have a big scheme. Good bye this time. " Frank. Curiosity Whetted. The above letter naturally aroused the curiosity of the visitors, and the task of taking up the slab floor was soon completed, but no new discoveries were made until the old box which acted the part of a cupboard was pulled down. Behind it was another opening or door leading into another apartment, where torses had been secreted, the room or artificial cave being amply large to ac- commodate twenty head at a time. Eighteen hitching posts were driven some three feet apart, and each post supplied with a square box for feeding. Old currycombs and brushes were also promiscuously scattered about, which indicated that the stolen animals, for such they no doubt wore, were well cared for. On one of.the hitching posts an old, worn-out vest was found, in one pocket of which wns 75 cents in the old- fashioned 25-cent paper money, and a part of aA envelope which bore the ad- dress "J. S. Rivers," but the postoffice was torn off. In rummaging about, a skull and other bones belong- ing to a human being were found under a pile of partly decayed cornstalks. Different theories are ad- vanced as to the presence of the skull. There are many who entertain the be- lief that the man Brown referred to in the letter was found to be a detective and was murdered, while others think that one of ihe gang wounded in the Northfield fight died nud was buried there, The place is as Impregnable as Glbralter, and twenty men with plenty of food and ammunition could hold it agaiust a regi- ment for a month. The strangest feat- ure about the matter is what- has be- come of the hundreds of carloads of dirt which must have necessarily been taken out in order to give the room which is found there. - The only possible way to pet to it with a horse is to follow the creek bed from its head, some live miles west, at the edge of the prairie, and then there are places which would seem absolutely Impassable. by animals, and to reach the cave with any kind of a vehicle would b% utterly im- possible. The only theory advanced as to what became of the dirt which was taken out in making this rendez- vous which sounds at all . plausible is that the place was built by a band of horse thieves under the notorious Con- wayin the early seventies; that several years were consumed in dtgginir, and that the loose earth was dumped into the Indian creek, which in early days was quite a stream, and carried down the steep decline by the water. Mem- bers of this gang of thieves evidently joined {he Younger-James outlaws in 1ST«», and piloted them to this grewsome earthen rendezvous, as they could never have found it without assistance. -^ MUST DIE FIGHTING. Gen. Miles Has the Hostiles Com- pletely Surrounded. \u25a0Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 19.—Four hundred of the Seventeenth infantry from Fort Russell disembarked here and at other points on the Elkhorn railway last night, and took up their line of march for Gen. Carr's Camp at the junction of Rapid creek and Cheyenne rivers. Gen. Miles has con- centrated at that point the Eighth and Sixth cavalry, the Seventh infantry scouts and artillery, making a fightimr force of 1,200 effective men. There is a largo encampment of hostiles in what is called the Grass Basin in the Bad Lands, about ten miles south- east of Can's camp, from which thiev- ing forages have been made on the ranches. Gen. Miles is making dispo- sitions to guard every pass and outlet from the camp, and has issued, orders for the cavalry to scout and intercept Sitting Bull's followers, who are sup- posed to be en route to 'join these hostiles. Gen. Miles' present dispositions contemplate protection of the settlers and holding the Indians in the basin or pocket awaiting a general movement into the Bad Lands simul- taneously with Gen. Brooke's forces and the result of the peace efforts of the 500 friendly Indians who left Pine Ridge to-doy to bring in the hostiles. The escape of the Indians being cut off, they must soon surrender or, like Sit- ting Bull, die lighting. WILL. AID SCIENCE. Medical Men Juggle Away Sitting Bull's Body. Special to the Globe. BisMAiiCK, N. D Sept. 19. -It is learned to-night from a gentleman- just from Standing Rock agency, that Sitting Bull's' body when brought in : from Grand river was taken to the military hospital to be dissected. The Indians at the agency, police and friendly In- dians would have nothing to do with the remains. It is. said the morning when they were to be buried a couple of soldiers took the box supposed to con- tain the remains and dumped it in an isolated crave away from the graves of the other Indians and a guard was placed around it. It is an open secret that really the box did not contain the remains and that the guard was put on the grave as a blind. It is believed Sit- ingBull's body is now in the dissecting room and that in time the skeleton will turn up either in the government mu- seum or some other place. SCOUT ARRESTED. He Is Suspected of Having Given Tips to Hostiles. Camp Cabb, Cheyenne River, Dec. John Farnham, who has been in the employ of the government as a scout, was to-day placed under arrest by order of Gen. Carr, under instruc- tions from Gen. Miles. Farnham is sus- pected of giving information concern- ing the movements of the troops along the Cheyenne river to the hostiles., Farnham is a squaw man and is mar- ried to an Ogallala squaw. The troops at this camp are ready for a forward movement as soon . as orders are re- ceived, and if given permission will have no difficulty in penetrating to the Indian stronghold. Dr. McGillicuddy, John R. Brennan and « Americus Thompson went to within two or three miles of the Indian camp in the Bad Lands and found several easy routes in and about the so-called impregnable stronghold. The Indians to-day have been liriug. PACIFIC CREEKS. They Disclaim Any Liove for the Messiah Craze. Gutiiiue, O. T., Dec. 19.—T0-day there was a number of Creek Indians in town in the charge of Strait Line, a Creek interpreter. The latter insisted that neither he nor the people he repre- sented had participated in or had any sympathy with the Messiah craze. Sit- ting Bull had sent couriers to the differ- ent tribes in the territory to incite an uprising, and these couriers had, to a- small extent, been successful in their endeavors, but only with lie ' blanket Indians. ARMED KICKAPOOS. They Are Dancing Near the Okla- homa Line. Arkansas City, Kan., Dec. 19.— Henry Snydcr, of this city, has just re- ceived a letter from his father, agent of the Kickapoo Indians in the Indian ter- ritory, in which he. says there are 1,000 Kickapoo and other warriors en- gaged in a dance near the eastern line of Oklahoma. Three days and nights they have had their ponies saddled, ready, tar action. These Indians are well armed, and the settlers in that sec- tion are badly frightened. Capt. Styles willorder the soldiers there at once if they attempt any mischief. V NEBRASKA ALLIANCE. They Indorse and Oppose a Num- ber ofReforms. ; Nracour, Neb., Dec. 19.— The state Farmers' Alliance has adjourned, but before doing so adopted a series ot reso- lutions which have not yet been made public. It is learned, however, that they indorse the Conger lard bill and oppose the Paddock pure food bill, favor an amendment to the constitu- tion converting all fines and license moneys ' into the general school fund, instead of the local school fund ; favor the abolition of the two-cent bounty on . sugar manufactured in this state; favor the adoption of an interest law that would forfeit both principal and inter- est ifusury had been taken or contract- ed," and ; ravor the passage of a maxi- mum freight bill. TAKEN ON A FOUL. The Fight Between Killen and Sheehy Ends in About Five Minutes. Sheehy Deliberately Fouls His Antagonist in the Second Round. He Also Strikes Referee Dick Moore a Cowardly Blow. The Mill Winds Up ina Rough- and-Tumble Free-for-All Scrap. Joe Sheehy is dead to the world. He proved himself last night to be tho most cowardly ruffian who ever posei before a sport-loving public as a fighter. The occasion was the long anticipated meet- ing between Pat Killen, heavyweight champion of the North west,and Sheehy, who comes from somewhere in the vi- cinity of Hurley, Wis., and wtio has been for the past four months engaged In fighting Killen with his mouth. Killen's reputatiou as a scientific man and a good one, is so widely known as to render any introduction necessary. Sheehy had acquired what reputation as a fighter he possessed prior to last night, by the bull dog tactics he Invari- ably pursued in fighting and his ability to stand a tremendous amount of pun- ishment. Long before the hour an- nounced for tne fight. Jackson street, in the vicinity of the rink, was packed with people for two blocks. At 8 o'clock the crush was so great that much difficulty was experienced by the principals and seconds in reaching their destination. Killen was seen by a representative of the Globe before the fight. His six weeks of hard training had done their work well, for the big fellow was iv the Fink of Condition, and fit to fight for a tortune. Yesterday morniiiir he ran from Minnehaha home in forty-five minutes, and pulled up without a hair turned. Sheehy was seen in his dressing room. His condition was admirable. His Min- neapolis trainer had kept him on the go with good effect, and when he stepped into the ring he had the best of it on weight and an even thing as to condition. As the time drew near for the men to appear in the ring, the big building became packed with people. There were over 2.000 there. It was 9:30 when Killen, followed by hiss-c- --onds, Denny Killen and Joe Kelliher, stepped from tho dressing room and jumped lightly over the ropes into the ring. A tremendous shout went up from the crowd, and the old building shook to its very foundations. Odds of 2to 1 were laid on Killen all over the house as soon as he was seen in the ring, for it was apparent even to the novice in pugilism that tne big 'un was as fit as a addle. The yells had scarcely subsided when Sheehy, followed by Mike Fitzpatrick and Charley Johnson, climbed into the arena wrapped in a big buffalo coat. Sheehy looked like just what he is, a Barroom Scrapper. Be had plenty of friends though, and his reception was similarly uproarious to that of Killen. Sheehy fought at lliflpounds and Killen at 185. Hermann Smith, in announcing the terms of the fmht, said that it would be ten rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules. The con- test would be on its merits. Dick Moore, the clever middleweight, was chosen referee, and George Harris and George Kent, timekeepers. Dick Moore, addressing the audience, said that he was going to do his best to sec fair play and give a satisfactory decision. There would be no hippodrome, the Dion had to fight. Time was called for the opening round precisely at 9:45. The men stepped forward, shook hands and went at it". The falling of a pin could have been heard allover the hall. Killen's superiority or style and build became apparent instantly. His atti- tude was a pugilistic ideal, in great contrast to that of Sheehy, whose bullet head was sunk between his shoulder blades, and his hands up in a position never assumed by those of any man on earth whose regard for his ribs was worth mentioning. Sheehy was on the offensive. He began rush- ing Killen all over the ring, landing a coui'le of harmless blows on the big fel- low's frame. The first effective blow was Strnck by Klllen, who, crowded to the ropes, turned short round and landed a terrific upper cut in Sheehy's wind. The latter emitted a grunt that was heard all over the house, but gave no other evidence of distress. He continued his aggres- sive tactics, and there was some irive and take work at close quarters, in which Killen's work was much the most effective. There were a couple of clinches, in one of which Sheehy delib- erately bit Killen on the breast, but no claim of foul was made. Killenrefusing to allow it. When they came together again Killen swung for the neck and landed, but a trifle too far back to be effective. He followed this up with a left-nanded smash in the ribs and a right-hander in the jaw. Then there was a clinch, and on the breakaway Sheehy deliberately struck Killen in the back of the neck. This was so pal- pably foul that tho house was in an uproar instantly. Yells of "Foul" were heard from all directions, but Referee Moore, at the request of Killen, allowed the fight to go on. Sheehy tried several times for the neck, but couldu't reach- he is shoulder-bound. He managed to get in Several Light Blows, however, but to a man In Killen's con- dition they were not worthy of notice. The round closed with Killen forcing the fighting and landing, just about where he pleased. .Referee Moore cau- tioned Sheeny that if there was any crooked work in the next round, he would lose the fight. It was evident, 'however, to Moore, as to every one else in the house at this : stage of the proceedings that Sheeny wanted to lose on a foul. The wind blow he had received in the first round had taken the heart out ot the big cow- ardly stiff from Hurley, and he had made up his mind to lose, and as quick- ly, as possible. When time was called for the second round, Killen jumped to the center, and, when he put up his hands, leaned, forward, instead of backward. He was on the aggressive now, and the Hurleyite saw him com- ing. Killen opened ; the ball with a right swing for the neck, which missed Its mark by the narrowest sort of mar- gin: If it had reached home Sheehy would have been in kingdom come this morning. Sheehy tried a counter with his left, but the blow lacked force. Kil- len retreated from a rush, and. swing- inghis right, landed A Terrific Sinat.li i on the bacK of bis oigtf&A&t;* iumlc^ This he followed up with three or four punches that sent Sheehy crazy. He no' longer maintained any pretense of tight- ing fairly. Making a rush he clinched and gave Ki Men a hip lock, both men- falling, Sheehy uppermost. Then de- liberately getting to his feet he struck his prostrate opponent two down- ward blows. This sent the audience wild. "Get up and kill him, Pat." "Hang the dirty cur, hang him," were the yells that swelled above the general pandemonium. Killeu'3 seconds had- stood more of this thing than could \u25a0 be expected of human nature. Sheehy- was in the act of kicking Killen in the ribs before he could rise, when Pat's brother Denny.one'of his seconds.rushed forward and struck Sheehy a straight left-hander from the shoulder that lifted him clear off his feet and landed him neck down in a heap. But for the perfection of the police arrangements there would have been a riot, As soon as it became evident that there was likely to be A general How, Seret. Sexton, followed by a dozen police officers, jumped into the ring. Sheuhy was out of it like a shot, and nothing more was seen of him. The pandemonium was such that it was almost impossible for Referee Moore's decision to bo heard. He at last suc- ceeded in getting a hearing. '•Gentlemen," tie said. "1 give this fight to Killen on the most disgraceful fouling1 have \u25a0 over seen in a, ring." Shouts for Killen brought the big fel- low to the ropes. He didn't look as • though there was much the matter, with him. Sheeny and his followers made a quiet slope for unknown regions. ' Killen was seen after the tight. "I don't think," he said, "that Sheehy will ever be heard from ngniu in this neighbor- hood. Having got rid of him. 1propose to make some more of these fellows hunt their holes who aic talking fight around this town." Killen exhibits three bad bites In- flicted by Sheehy. The one in the breast already referred to, one in the calf of his left leg, and another in the hip. Sheehy BitHim Twite when they were down on the floor. Sheehy was cauirht 011 the fly just as he was preparing to walk home to Wiscon- sin. •• •'What do you want to say about this thintr," was asked. ... .. "What in — 1 do you expect -me to Bay." he inquired. I couldn't get a fair show with ' Moore as referee, and I Jaiow it. 1 diaiTt agree to his serving.*' Dick Moore, in speaking of the affair, said: . . Sheehy fouled deliberately from first to last. I cautioned him for striking Killen on a breakaway, and he struck me in the face." . I leave you to judge for yourself what land of a tighter he is." ..'"..: Killen expresses regret that the fight ended as it did. He wanted to show the puolic that Sheehy was only a pot hunter. Sheehy, however, didn't need any assistance. He showed himself up with great success as the most disrep- utable cur that ever was allowed to get into a ring with a respectable tighter. / MITCHELL.

Dec. 19.— lons-talked of finish-fight between Jade Davis, the local heavyweight, and Pat Allen, of St. Louis, took place at Gerniania hall, \ Sooth Omaha, to-night in the presence of several hundred spectators. It was a rattling mill while it lasted, but wound up suddenly in the third round, when a terrific right-hander from Davis sent Allen to the floor. He failed to respond at the end of the prescribed ten seconds, and the stake purse of $500 a side and the gate receipts were handed to Davis. Next Year's Circnit. Chicago, Dec. 19.—President A. G.

Railroad Switchmen to Receive Higher Wages. - Chicago, Dec. 19.—For some months past the railroad switchmen in all of the larger cities of the Northwest outside of Chicago have been agitating for : an ad- vance in wages to a parity . with those paid in this city. As a result of it the general grievance committees of the Chicago &Northwestern, Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul, Chicago, Rook Island & Pacific and Illinois Central roads were called to this city some days ago, since which time they have been in conference with - the .-' officials. The re-" sult is that a general advance in wages has been agreed 011. In the larger cities this amounts to ?5 per month. In. the smaller towns the advance has not been fixed, but It will be somewhat less. \u25a0 : "' \u25a0 ' "' ' ' '-.\u25a0:' ; Sang Hymn and Died. Charleston, S. 0., Dec.

Missoxjla, Mont., Dec. 19.—Tho most notable execution whichever took place in this section of the country occurred this morning, when Lalaze and Pierre Paul, Antly, and Paseale, four Indian murderers, were hanged at the court house here. All died game. Pierre, Paul and Antly smilingly bade good-bye to their friends when the cap was drawn over their faces. All were cut down twenty minutes after the trap was sprung. Their n.icks were broken. The crimes for which these four Indians were hanged were among the most cow- ardly and brutal of the treacherous fiends. Paseale -killed a prospector named J. M. Dunn, in the spring of 185'J, near Dernersville. Dunn was trad- Ing horses with him nnd when he re- fused to tiade back the Indian shot him, taking the horse and what money he hau. Paseale hid the body in the brush, where tiie bones were discovered some months later,by .another Indian to whom Paseale admitted the crime. The Bones Were Identified by the remnants of clothing, and Pas- cale was \u25a0 arrested. Antly's crime was the participation in the murder of three" white < prospectors, McDonald.

A RUSH FOR LAND. r Squatters Are Patient, but Ready . y to Pile Instantly. \u0084 \u25a0•/ ',';..; W AusA.tr, Wis., Dec. 19—The : rush for land continues. ) The greatest ques- tion to-night is whether the man who 0 squats after midnight or the man who files on the ground to-morrow', shall have precedence. The large lumber firms have sent out men to-night to squat on the land, and among. them is a son of Congressman McCord. Dispatches purporting to be \u25a0 signed by. ex-Secre- tary Vilas are shown to-night declar- ing that the men who squat on the lands will get a title in preference to those wno wait to tile claims to-morrow when the land office opens. The law \; provides that parties who squat ; -oh-;- the: lands prior to Dec. 20, 1 shall lose their homestead rights, and Vilas holds . that squatters can go on the lands after midnight. •Nearly 300 men were in line at the court house square at sundown to-night. Some had camp outfits, some blankets and some were standing or sitting on the ground, provision peddlers keeping them supplied with something to eat or drink. vAn occasional rifle leaned against the 1 court house building, and revolvers peeped out of. overcoat pock- ets. 1 ' The first 150 claims filed to-morrow willsecure all the claims to land of any value, and the men In line know it. -Most of the good laud is in Oneida coun ty, and there is bound to be disappoint- . ment, and perhaps trouble in the : rush. Every train is bringing in hundreds of men to-night, and a peaceable settle- ment seems impossible. Extra police- men are patrolling the town, and the military company has been ; notified to be ready for a call at 8 o'clock to-night. The police made an attempt to clear the court nouse yard, but the crowd resist- ed, and several men were clubbed, \u25a0 thrown down and trampled upon in the rush. ; PLEASE TAKE NOTICE \ \u25a0- - \u25a0 That Spink County, S.

Special Examiner Godfrey, of the pension de- partment, created a sensation here to- day by arresting Charles Loffler, a well known citizen, for prosecuting a claim- ant for pension, and presenting a fraud- ulent claim, and for perjury In support of his claim. Early in ISCI, George Weisel enlisted . in Company D, Fifth regiment of the United States cavalry. He served three years and ' re-enlisted and received his veteran bounty. He served one year of his second term and then secured the discharge papers of one of his comrades, Charles Loffler, and deserted. He is next heard from in lowa, where, in 18(56, he married. Subsequently he came to Dakota, 111 Yankton, twenty years ago. He has gone by the name of \u25a0 Loffler all these twenty-five years. Some time last ; spring Charles Loffler applied for a pension, and In the regu- lar course of events it was developed that Charles Loftier was already a pen- sioner. The case was strange and. Ex- aminer Godfrey was given it to look up. The* charge is a very serious one and a penitentiary offense. George Weisel makes a full confession of the whole matter and nothing can save him from punishment except the clemency, of the . court. Charles Loffler. the man whom George Weisel sought to impersonate, is doorkeeper of the White house in Washington, which position he has filled since 1861. He was a member of Company. H, Fifth Regi- ment, U. S. A. He and Loffler. were on detail as orderlies at headquarters of the Army of the Potomac for about two years. Examiner Godfrey •\u25a0 says this is one of the most remarkable cases which .he has ever known of in his ten years' experience as a special examiner. BOYS STEAL. LIQUOR.

Warning Letters From Mrs. Weldon Found Among His Effects. Romantic Account of Bull's Life With a Brook- lyn Lady. Bpeclal to the Globe. Bismabck, N. D.. Dec. 19.—Corporal Gunn, of G troop, Eighth cavalry, who was up from Fort Yates to-day on fur- lough, gave to your correspondent a story of Monday's tragedy which dif- fers widely from any reports yet sent out. He was with the troops that were dispatched to relieve the Indian police. The press reports sent out from Fort Yates are thought to have been "fixed." In the first place, troopa were not or- dered to follow the Indian police, to be in readiness in case the latter were sur- prised by the enemy. At 9in the even- ing the police started for Grand river, the troops following three hours later, headed for Oak creek, where they were instructed to receive news or couriers from the police, posting them as to the latter's movements. Not finding any, Capt. Fechet ordered his men on to Grand river, fearing something was wrong. Before they had galloped two miles they were met by "Red Toma- hawk," one of the police, who was ereatly excited, and breught the news that Sitting Bull and four of the police were killed. He was riding Sitting Bull's horse. Capt. Fechet Doubted His Story, but was reassured when Tomahawk implored him to goon, saying: "Hurry up quick, or they will all be killed." When the soldiers arrived at the scene, everything was quiet. Thirteen dead bodies lay on the grouud; nine of the hostiles, including SittingBull, and four Indian police. The police had taken refuge in Sitting Bull's house, and the hostiles were ambushed in thick wil- lows near by. Every pane of glass in the house was shot out. Capt. Fechet formed a skirmish line around the thicket and poure lin shot. Cries and whoops could be heard. A great many more hostiles are believed to have been killed than reported. The story of Sit- ting Bull's death, says Corporal Gunn, is told by an intelligent half-breed: "Bull Head, lieutenant of Indian po- lice, came to Sitting Bull's house with a warrant for his arrest. No one but the old chief and his two sons were there. Sitting Bull opened the door, and his son, seeing the house surround- ed by police, gave the cry of alarm. Without hesitating a moment.Bull Head fired at Sitting Bull, the ball striking his breast over the left nipple, killing him instantly. While reeling, Sitting Bull managed to draw a revolver, which exploded just as he fell, the bullet enter- ing Bull Head's thigh. .Bull Head died two days later from its effect. A ter- rific hand-to-hand fight ensued. Sitting Bull's Followers. swarmed around tho police in great numbers. Guns were clubbed and the ground was strewn with broken stocks and bent barrels. The police, number- inn thirty, were getting the worst of it, and retreated into Bull's house. The hostiles retired to an ambush, having learned of the soldiers coming. Tho dead and wounded were carried back to the post. Bodies were frightfullymuti- lated. One Indian policeman lifted Sitting Bull's scalp. The old chief's body was a sickening sight; an Indian battered his face into a jelly after death with a plank. After tiring of this dev- ilish sport, he balanced the plank on his nose and left it there with maniacal glee. The few remaining hairs in his head were clipped off, ana his mocca- sins and most of his clothing were car- ried away for relics. Among his per- sonal effects were found letters from Mrs. Wcldon, of New York, warn ing him to flee from the agency, as the gov- ernment was about to have him killed. Sitting Bull was prepared to depart when surprised by the Indian police. QUEER MRS. WELiDON. ABrooklyn lady's Intrigue With Sitting Bull. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 19.— 1n Sitting Bull's effects were found letters and documents of all descriptions from all over the country. Most of them were from people Inclosing a slip of paper for his autograph, but he never responded to these requests unless a fat monetary consideration came with the letter. His signature always commanded a dollar, and ho found ready sale for it. All he could write was his name, and that in a painful scrawl. There were several communications from Mr 3. Weldon, tho woman who claimed she was sent out from Brooklyn, X. V., by an Indian soci- ety. She came to the agency about a year ago, but for creating an air of discon- tent among some of the Indians the authorities repeatedly ordered her off the reservation. She finally said she loved bitting Bull and went to live with him on Grand river. She was a remark- ably line-looking woman, thirty years of age, and had a pretty little son. ten years old, with long, curly, dark hair. Indians say the couple lived together as man and wife, though there was no ceremony performed. Whenever Sit- ting Bull wanted a fresh partner he selected the prettiest of his flock and his children are scattered throughout the Sioux nation by the score. 110 thought as much of Mrs. Weldon's young son as he did of the woman her- self, and took great delight in putting the youngster on one of his ponies and riding with him on his own charger in triumph to tho ageucy on ration day. Mrs. Weldon took her departure from Standing Rock two months ago. Tears actually trickled down th e weather-beaten cheeks of the old war- rior as he parted with her little boy. It was the Orst time he ever exhibited any emotion. The hoy liad ci*> ; ~~» « warm spot in his cruel heart. Mr*. Weldon took the steamer Chaske to Sioux City. When she arrived at Pierro the boy was stricken with lockjaw. The best medical aid was summoned, bnt of. no avail, and he died. Mrs. Weldou was grief stricken as was also Sitting Bull on hearing the news.and he sought; solitude for several days. Mrs. Weldon is a well educated, refined woman, and her actions were a mystery. Sho is an able writer and fluent conversationalist and a streak of mild insanity or cranky- Ism are the only reasons assigned for her strange conduct. While in the East, after the death of her son, she wrote a number of litters to Sitting Bull, foretelling the terrible tragedy enacted the other day. She warned him to be on the alert, telling him that the military and jealous Indians, who bided in with the government, were seeking a pretext to put him forever out of the way. Letters from time to time were received to this effect, beseeching him to flee for his life. lie paid but little attention till almost the last moment, when ho began to realize the danger and was preparing to escape to the Bad Lands with his family and followers, but the Indian police surDrised him and slaughtered him without mercy. Tha people believe he was murdered, and believe he could have been arrested without bloodshed. GROWING BOLDER. Hostile Sioux Preparing fur War in Karnest. Cheyenne River, S. D., Dec. 10.— One might say that the conflict with the hostile Sioux had already begun. From twenty to thirtyranchers rode and dnwo into camp to-day, all heavily armed, and all agree that the Indians are augment- ing their forces and growing bolder hourly. It was ascertained early this morning that the deserted ranch ana • outlying buiidinssof a mau named Wil- son were burned to the ground last uight, having lirst been looted. Hon. M. H. Day, aide-de-camp to Gov. Mellette, rode in with four other gentlemen from his ranch to-day. Mr. Day reports that besides the seventy tepees, which con- tain about 350 Jiostiles, which are lo- cated iv a draw between Battle and Spring creeks, he saw another large band further down the Cheyenne river, lie could not count the number, but thinks they will number at least 300. He estimated that they had ono thousand ponies and a large number of cattle with them, most of which had been stolen. Early this morning Gen. Carr sent Capt. Stanton, Sixth cavalry, with his troops, numbering about sixty m«n, to scout and look around for In- dians in the Bad Lands. Three heliograph stations had beon established— one in camp, one up on the top of the high bluffs, and one which had followed up as nearlyas practicable Stamon's command. About 2 o'clock p. m., a soldier was seen coming down the bluff, pushing his horse to a full gallop, iind immediately the heliograph lines commenced working. The rider crossed the river and reparted to Gen. Carr th t Capt. Stanton was in an en- gagement with the Indians. Geu. Carr gave orders for Lieut. Scott and Trooo Dtogo to his assistance. Within a few minutes Uie troop was charging up tha bluff to the scene of action. The soldier's horse, upon his dismounting; dropped dead, having been ridden hard for such a long distance. Other troops were immediately placed in marchiiig, order, and were held in readiness to inarch at a moment's notice. Two hours passed, news being transmitted by tha heliograph. Some time later Capt- Stanton and the other troops returned, whereupon, being interviewed, it wag learned that some time after uoan h« noticed a largo party of Indians with ;i herd of ponies coming east and heading? for the Bad Lands. He immediately "gave chase, and after running some miles gradually drew upon the Indiana, who commenced liring,but their bul- lets went wide of the mark. Shots were exchanged quite lively for some time, when the Indians approached and made for a snuill creek called Wounded Knee. They went down this creek and into the brakes, up a deep draw, and were lost to view in the Bad Lands. Capt. Stanton followed them for some time, but fearing an ambush withdrew his troops and returned to camp. Most of the ponies, upon hearing the firing, stampeded, and were lost to the Indians, but it is thought they will try and regain their stock in large numbers. To-mor- row Gen. Carr will again send out a large force to look for them. To-night there will be posted on each of the ad- joining bluffs some hundred pickets, and no fires will be lighted in camp. The signal of attack will be a rille shot- The troops are all holding themselves in readiness. It is expected that an at- tack will occur about daylight in tho morning: between the hostiles and the pickets! Everylx>dy incamp is on the tiptoe of expectation. RED CIiOUD'S STORY. Ho Gives Strong Testimony Against a Feeble Administra- tion. Washington, Doc. 19.— Dr. L. A. Bland, of the Indian Defense associa- tion, has received a letter dated Dec. 10, from the Indian chief, Red C!oud,"at the Pine Ridge Indian agency, S. D., concerning various matters there. The chief says he is the constant friend of the whites, and all that has been said about his preparing his people for war Is false, for they do not desire or intend to go on the warpath. Since his people (the Ogallalas) arrived at Pine Ridge, they had agreed to stop the ghost dance, and he says that so far as tho dance is concerned he can truly say that he never hud any- thing to do with it. Bed Cloud com- plains of the government rations being cut down more and more every year, and says former delinquencies have not been made good. The past two seasons were so dry that the Indians could raise little or nothing, and the rations were so scant they wen*obliged to kill their own cattle to keep from starving to death. In consequence of these hard times many became sick from waiit of a proper quantity of food and 217 died frqm starvation since the fall of last year. Red Cloud refers to his furnish- ing 200 of his people as soldiers and po- lice to assist the "United States govern- ment, as a proof of his good will to- wards the whites, and closes by saying that the white settlers and the soldiers are good friends of the Indians, and if it were not for the soldiers lie did not know what wouW become of his people.

Remarkable Discovery of aParty of Rabbit-Hunting

Young Farmers.

Special to the Globe.Le Sueub, Minn., Dec. 19. —Great ex-

citement prevails in Le Sueur and Nic-ollet counties over the discovery inLake Prairie township, Nlcoliet county,of the subterranean rendezvous of theYounger and James boys and theirband of outlaws before and after theirraid upon the Northheld bank, in187G,

in which six men were killed. One ofthe Missouri banditti evidently died inthis wonderfully constructed home in thee&riu, as Ins bones were found there.Yesterday afternoon a party of youngfarmers started out on a rabbit shoot-ing expedition, and while traversing

what is known as the Barney Fay ra-vine from its foot or base toward itshead, one of the party stumbled andfell, rollins down an embatiKinont tothe bed of a creek. In attempting toicramble back up tho bank, ho discov-ired an old weather beaten door,

which was held to its place byi couple of pieces of leather.This door stood partly ajar,Bpened intoan apartment as dark asmidnight, and as mysterious ns it wasiark. The young man shouted to histompanious, who promptly responded,•nd, after carefully surveying the ex-tenor of the mysterious premises, alantern was sent for and a thorough ex-ploration of the interior was com-menced. The first apartment enteredwas a common duc-out,only about eightfeet square, and had seemingly beennsed as a sort of anteroom, with

Earthen Floor ami Walls;

but on the back ena or side a space ofabout six feet was covered from theceilingto the ground floor with hewedlogs stood on end and close together.In these logs were numerous nails,driven apparently for the purpose ofhanging clothing. A careful examina-tion, however, revealed the fact thatthese logs formed a "blind"door, whichled intoa room some twenty feet longand perhaps sixteen feet wide, alongoneside Iwhich bunks were arrangedsomething after the fashion of berthson a steamboat, and from the number ofthese at least thirty persons had foundsleeping accommodations in this se-cluded and mysterious place of abode.This room contained several benchesand stools, an old table, tin plates andcups, kettles, a No. 9 cook stove andvarious cooking utensils. Inone cornerstood an old box on end, whichhad evidently served as a cupboard,near which was found a rough boardbox which had been used as a flourchest. This box was partitioned off. andone end contained some thirty or fortypounds of buckwheat Hour. Severalold, faded

Decks of l*l:i}ins Cards,a few old newspapers, and a badly di-lapidated copy of "Kit Carson" werefound scattered about on the rude slabfloor. In the book was found this poor-ly-written letter, which was apparentlyfrom Frank James to James YoungerInreference to the stealing of somehorses:

Eltsian, Minn., AprilB.—Friend Jim:Ithink you hud better not come for a fewdays more. Iwas in Le Sueur this week,and mere was a good deal of talk aboutorganizing a vigilance committee to scourthe country inseacrb of the gray' marcs, andIthink it willbe Lest to wait a little, as youknow these cussed vigilance committeesWon't wait for judge or juryor anythingelse. If they get after us itwillbe a case ofkillor pet killed. By tho way,Jim, do youknow thai Iam alittle suspicious of Brown,•who clnimed to hail from Wisconsin whenlie joined us, and Ed told me iho otherday that he knows positively of. three differ-ent loners received by Brown which werepostmarked at Chicago. Ue may be one ofthose d—d Pinkerton detectives for ail weknow, and the sooner we investigate his casethe better it willbe. He seems like a jolly,brave fellow, and Iwould be sorry to findhim to be a traitor and have to "plant"him,but self-protection is the first law of nature,you know,and it is best to be on the safeBide. 1 expect tobe over at the "Half-Way"Borne time next week. Iwish you wouldmeet me there. Ihave a bigscheme. Goodbye this time.

Frank.Curiosity Whetted.

The above letter naturally arousedthe curiosity of the visitors, and the taskof taking up the slab floor was sooncompleted, but no new discoveries weremade until the old box which acted thepart of a cupboard was pulled down.Behind it was another opening or doorleading into another apartment, wheretorses had been secreted, the room orartificial cave being amply large to ac-commodate twenty head at a time.Eighteen hitching posts were drivensome three feet apart, and each postsupplied with a square box for feeding.Old currycombs and brushes were alsopromiscuously scattered about, whichindicated that the stolen animals, forsuch they no doubt wore, were wellcared for. On one of.the hitching postsan old, worn-out vest was found, in onepocket of which wns 75 cents in the old-fashioned 25-cent paper money, and apart of aA envelope which bore the ad-dress "J. S. Rivers," but the postofficewas torn off. Inrummaging about,a skull and other bones belong-ing to a human being werefound under a pile of partly decayedcornstalks. Different theories are ad-vanced as tothe presence of the skull.There are many who entertain the be-lief that the man Brown referred to inthe letter was found to be a detectiveand was murdered, while others thinkthat one of ihe gang wounded in theNorthfield fight died nud was buriedthere, The place is as

Impregnable as Glbralter,and twenty men with plenty of food andammunition could hold itagaiust a regi-

ment for a month. The strangest feat-ure about the matter is what- has be-come of the hundreds ofcarloads of dirtwhich must have necessarily been takenout in order to give the room which isfound there. - The only possible way topet to it with a horse is to follow thecreek bed from its head, some livemiles west, at the edge of theprairie, and then there are places whichwould seem absolutely Impassable. byanimals, and to reach the cave withanykind of a vehicle would b%utterly im-possible. The only theory advancedas to what became of the dirt whichwas taken out in making this rendez-vous which sounds at all.plausible isthat the place was built by a band ofhorse thieves under the notorious Con-wayin the early seventies; that severalyears were consumed in dtgginir, andthat the loose earth was dumped intothe Indian creek, which in early dayswas quite a stream, and carried downthe steep decline by the water. Mem-bers of this gang of thieves evidentlyjoined {he Younger-James outlaws in1ST«», and piloted them to this grewsomeearthen rendezvous, as they could neverhave found it without assistance.-^

MUST DIE FIGHTING.

Gen. Miles Has the Hostiles Com-pletely Surrounded.

\u25a0Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 19.—Fourhundred of the Seventeenth infantryfrom Fort Russell disembarked here andat other points on the Elkhorn railwaylast night, and took up their lineof march for Gen. Carr's Campat the junction of Rapid creek andCheyenne rivers. Gen. Miles has con-centrated at that point the Eighth andSixth cavalry, the Seventh infantryscouts and artillery, making a fightimrforce of 1,200 effective men. There is alargo encampment of hostiles in whatis called the Grass Basin in theBad Lands, about ten miles south-east of Can's camp, from which thiev-ing forages have been made on theranches. Gen. Miles is making dispo-sitions to guard every pass and outletfrom the camp, and has issued, ordersfor the cavalry to scout and interceptSitting Bull's followers, who are sup-posed to be en route to 'jointhese hostiles. Gen. Miles' presentdispositions contemplate protection ofthe settlers and holding the Indians inthe basin or pocket awaiting a generalmovement into the Bad Lands simul-taneously with Gen. Brooke's forcesand the result of the peace efforts ofthe 500 friendly Indians who left PineRidge to-doy to bring in the hostiles.The escape of the Indians being cut off,they must soon surrender or, likeSit-ting Bull,die lighting.

WILL. AID SCIENCE.

Medical Men Juggle Away SittingBull's Body.

Special to the Globe.BisMAiiCK, N. D Sept. 19. -It is

learned to-night from a gentleman- justfromStanding Rock agency, that SittingBull's' body when brought in: fromGrand river was taken to the militaryhospital to be dissected. The Indiansat the agency, police and friendly In-dians would have nothing to do withthe remains. It is. said the morningwhen they were to be buried a coupleof soldiers took the box supposed to con-tain the remains and dumped itin anisolated crave away from the graves ofthe other Indians and a guard wasplaced around it. Itis an open secretthat really the box did not contain theremains and that the guard was put onthe grave as a blind. Itis believed Sit-ingBull's body is now in the dissectingroom and that in time the skeleton willturn up either in the government mu-seum or some other place.

SCOUT ARRESTED.

He Is Suspected of Having GivenTips to Hostiles.

Camp Cabb, Cheyenne River, Dec.John Farnham, who has been in

the employ of the government as ascout, was to-day placed under arrestby order of Gen. Carr, under instruc-tions from Gen. Miles. Farnham is sus-pected of giving information concern-ing the movements of the troops alongthe Cheyenne river to the hostiles.,Farnham is a squaw man and is mar-ried to an Ogallala squaw. The troopsat this camp are ready for a forwardmovement as soon . as orders are re-ceived, and if given permission willhave no difficulty in penetrating to theIndian stronghold. Dr.McGillicuddy,John R. Brennan and « AmericusThompson went to within two or threemiles of the Indian camp in the BadLands and found several easy routes inand about the so-called impregnablestronghold. The Indians to-day havebeen liriug.

PACIFIC CREEKS.

They Disclaim Any Liove for theMessiah Craze.

Gutiiiue, O. T., Dec. 19.—T0-daythere was a number of Creek Indians intown in the charge of Strait Line, aCreek interpreter. The latter insistedthat neither he nor the people he repre-sented had participated in or had anysympathy with the Messiah craze. Sit-tingBull had sent couriers to the differ-ent tribes in the territory to incite anuprising, and these couriers had, to a-small extent, been successful in theirendeavors, but only with lie

At 8o'clock thecrush was so great that much difficultywas experienced by the principals andseconds in reaching their destination.Killen was seen by a representative ofthe Globe before the fight. His sixweeks of hard training had done theirwork well, for the big fellow was iv the

Fink ofCondition,and fitto fight for a tortune. Yesterdaymorniiiir he ran from Minnehaha homein forty-five minutes, and pulled upwithout a hair turned. Sheehy wasseen in his dressing room. Hiscondition was admirable. His Min-neapolis trainer had kept himon the go with good effect, andwhen he stepped into the ring he hadthe best of it on weight and an eventhing as to condition. As the time drewnear for the men to appear in the ring,the big building became packed withpeople.

There were over 2.000 there. Itwas9:30 when Killen, followed by hiss-c---onds, Denny Killen and Joe Kelliher,stepped from tho dressing room andjumped lightly over the ropes intothe ring. A tremendous shout wentup from the crowd, and the old buildingshook to its very foundations. Odds of2to 1 were laid on Killenall over thehouse as soon as he was seen in thering, for it was apparent even to thenovice in pugilism that tne big 'un wasas fitas a addle. The yells had scarcelysubsided when Sheehy, followed byMike Fitzpatrick and Charley Johnson,climbed into the arena wrapped inabig buffalo coat. Sheehy looked likejust what he is, a

Barroom Scrapper.Be had plenty of friends though, and

his reception was similarly uproariousto that of Killen. Sheehy fought atlliflpounds and Killenat 185. HermannSmith, in announcing the terms of thefmht, said that itwould be ten rounds,Marquis of Queensbury rules. The con-test would be on its merits. DickMoore, the clever middleweight, waschosen referee, and George Harris andGeorge Kent, timekeepers. Dick Moore,addressing the audience, said that hewas going to do his best to sec fairplay and give a satisfactory decision.There would be no hippodrome, theDion had to fight. Time was called forthe opening round precisely at 9:45.The men stepped forward, shook handsand went at it". The falling of a pincould have been heard allover the hall.Killen's superiority or style and buildbecame apparent instantly. His atti-tude was a pugilistic ideal, in greatcontrast to that of Sheehy, whosebullet head was sunk between hisshoulder blades, and his hands upin a position never assumed by those ofany man on earth whose regard for hisribs was worth mentioning. Sheehywas on the offensive. He began rush-ingKillen all over the ring, landing acoui'le of harmless blows on the big fel-low's frame. The first effective blowwas

Strnck by Klllen,who, crowded to the ropes, turned shortround and landed a terrific uppercut in Sheehy's wind. The latteremitted a grunt that was heard all overthe house, but gave no other evidenceof distress. He continued his aggres-sive tactics, and there was some iriveand take work at close quarters, inwhich Killen's work was much the mosteffective. There were a couple ofclinches, in one of which Sheehy delib-erately bit Killenon the breast, but noclaim of foul was made. Killenrefusingto allow it. When they came togetheragain Killen swung for the neck andlanded, but a trifle too far back to beeffective. He followed this up withaleft-nanded smash in the ribs and aright-hander in the jaw. Then therewas a clinch, and on the breakawaySheehy deliberately struck Killen inthe back of the neck. This was so pal-pably foul that tho house was in anuproar instantly. Yells of "Foul"wereheard from all directions, but RefereeMoore, at the request of Killen, allowedthe fight togo on. Sheehy tried severaltimes for the neck, but couldu't reach-he is shoulder-bound. He managed toget in

Several LightBlows,however, but to aman In Killen's con-dition they were not worthy of notice.The round closed with Killen forcingthe fighting and landing, just aboutwhere he pleased. .Referee Moore cau-tioned Sheeny that if there was anycrooked work in the next round, hewould lose the fight. Itwas evident,

'however, to Moore, as to everyone else in the house at this:stage of the proceedings that Sheenywanted to lose on a foul. The windblow he had received in the first roundhad taken the heart out ot the big cow-ardly stiff from Hurley, and he hadmade up his mind to lose, and as quick-ly,as possible. When time was calledfor the second round, Killen jumped tothe center, and, when he put uphis hands, leaned, forward, instead ofbackward. He was on the aggressivenow,and the Hurleyite saw him com-ing. Killen opened ;the ball with aright swing for the neck, which missedIts mark by the narrowest sort of mar-gin: Ifit had reached home Sheehywould have been in kingdom come thismorning. Sheehy tried a counter withhis left,but the blowlacked force. Kil-len retreated from a rush, and. swing-inghis right, landed

ATerrific Sinat.liion the bacK of bis oigtf&A&t;* iumlc^

This he followed up with three or fourpunches that sent Sheehy crazy. He no'longer maintained any pretense of tight-ing fairly. Making a rush he clinchedand gave KiMen a hip lock, both men-falling, Sheehy uppermost. Then de-liberately getting to his feet he struckhis prostrate opponent two down-ward blows. This sent the audiencewild. "Get up and kill him, Pat."

"Hang the dirty cur,hang him," werethe yells that swelled above the generalpandemonium. Killeu'3 seconds had-stood more of this thing than could \u25a0 beexpected of human nature. Sheehy-was in the act of kicking Killen in theribs before he could rise, when Pat'sbrother Denny.one'of his seconds.rushedforward and struck Sheehy a straightleft-hander from the shoulder thatlifted him clear offhis feet and landedhim neck down in a heap. But for theperfection of the police arrangementsthere would have been a riot, Assoonas it became evident that there waslikely to be

A general How,Seret. Sexton, followed by a dozenpolice officers, jumped into the ring.Sheuhy was out of it likea shot, andnothing more was seen of him. Thepandemonium was such that it wasalmost impossible for Referee Moore'sdecision to bo heard. He at last suc-ceeded ingetting a hearing.

'•Gentlemen," tie said. "1 give this fighttoKillen on the most disgraceful fouling1have \u25a0

low to the ropes. He didn't look as •though there was much the matter, withhim. Sheeny and his followers made aquiet slope for unknown regions. '

Killen was seen after the tight."Idon't think," he said, "that Sheehy will

ever be heard from ngniu in this neighbor-hood. Having got ridof him. 1propose tomake some more of these fellows hunt theirholes who aic talking fight around thistown."

Killen expresses regret that the fightended as itdid. He wanted to show thepuolic that Sheehy was only a pothunter. Sheehy, however, didn't needany assistance. He showed himself upwithgreat success as the most disrep-utable cur that ever was allowed togetinto a ring with a respectable tighter. /

Examiner Godfrey, of the pension de-partment, created a sensation here to-day by arresting Charles Loffler, a wellknown citizen, for prosecuting a claim-ant for pension, and presenting a fraud-ulent claim, and for perjury In supportof his claim. Early in ISCI, GeorgeWeisel enlisted .in Company D, Fifthregiment of the United States cavalry.He served three years and

're-enlisted

and received his veteran bounty. Heserved one year of his second term andthen secured the discharge papers ofone of his comrades, Charles Loffler,and deserted. He is next heard fromin lowa, where, in 18(56, he married.Subsequently he came to Dakota, 111Yankton, twenty years ago. He hasgone by the name of \u25a0 Loffler allthese twenty-five years. Sometime last ; spring Charles Lofflerapplied for a pension, and In the regu-lar course of events it was developedthat Charles Loftier was already a pen-sioner. The case was strange and. Ex-aminer Godfrey was givenit to look up.The* charge is a very serious one and apenitentiary offense. George Weiselmakes a full confession of the wholematter and nothing can save him frompunishment except the clemency,of the . court. Charles Loffler. theman whom George Weisel soughtto impersonate, is doorkeeper ofthe White house in Washington, whichposition he has filled since 1861. He wasa member of Company.

Romantic Account of Bull'sLife With a Brook-

Bpeclal to the Globe.Bismabck, N.D.. Dec. 19.—Corporal

Gunn, of G troop, Eighth cavalry, whowas up from Fort Yates to-day on fur-lough, gave to your correspondent astory of Monday's tragedy which dif-fers widely from any reports yet sentout. He was with the troops that weredispatched to relieve the Indian police.The press reports sent out from FortYates are thought to have been "fixed."In the first place, troopa were not or-dered to follow the Indian police, to bein readiness incase the latter were sur-prised by the enemy. At9in the even-ing the police started for Grand river,the troops following three hours later,headed for Oak creek, where they wereinstructed to receive news or couriersfrom the police, posting them as to thelatter's movements. Not finding any,Capt. Fechet ordered his men on toGrand river, fearing something waswrong. Before they had galloped twomiles they were met by "Red Toma-hawk," one of the police, who wasereatly excited, and breught the newsthat Sitting Bulland four of the policewere killed. He was riding SittingBull's horse. Capt. Fechet

Doubted His Story,

but was reassured when Tomahawkimplored him to goon, saying: "Hurryup quick, or they will all be killed."When the soldiers arrived at the scene,everything was quiet. Thirteen deadbodies lay on the grouud; nine of thehostiles, including SittingBull,and fourIndian police. The police had takenrefuge in Sitting Bull's house, and thehostiles were ambushed in thick wil-lows near by. Every pane of glass inthe house was shot out. Capt. Fechetformed a skirmish line around thethicket and poure lin shot. Cries andwhoops could be heard. A great manymore hostiles are believed to have beenkilled than reported. The story ofSit-ting Bull's death, says Corporal Gunn,is told byan intelligent half-breed:

"BullHead, lieutenant of Indian po-lice, came to Sitting Bull's house witha warrant for his arrest. No one butthe old chief and his two sons werethere. Sitting Bull opened the door,and his son, seeing the house surround-ed by police, gave the cry of alarm.Without hesitating a moment.Bull Headfired at Sitting Bull, the ball strikinghis breast over the left nipple, killinghim instantly. While reeling, Sitting

Bull managed to draw a revolver, whichexploded just as he fell,the bullet enter-ing BullHead's thigh. .Bull Head diedtwo days later from its effect. A ter-rifichand-to-hand fight ensued.

Sitting Bull's Followers.swarmed around tho police in great

numbers. Guns were clubbed and theground was strewn with broken stocksand bent barrels. The police, number-innthirty, were getting the worst of it,and retreated into Bull's house. Thehostiles retired to an ambush, havinglearned of the soldiers coming. Thodead and wounded were carried back tothe post. Bodies were frightfullymuti-lated. One Indian policeman liftedSitting Bull's scalp. The old chief'sbody was a sickening sight; an Indianbattered his face into a jelly after deathwitha plank. After tiringof this dev-ilishsport, he balanced the plank on hisnose and left it there withmaniacalglee. The few remaining hairs in hishead were clipped off, ana his mocca-sins and most of his clothing were car-ried away for relics. Among his per-sonal effects were found letters fromMrs. Wcldon, of New York, warninghim to flee from the agency, as the gov-ernment was about to have him killed.Sitting Bull was prepared to departwhen surprised by the Indian police.

QUEER MRS. WELiDON.

ABrooklyn lady's Intrigue WithSitting Bull.

Special to the Globe.Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 19.—1n Sitting

Bull's effects were found letters anddocuments of all descriptions from allover the country. Most of them werefrom people Inclosing a slip of paper forhis autograph, but he never respondedto these requests unless a fat monetaryconsideration came with the letter. Hissignature always commanded a dollar,and ho found ready sale for it. All hecould write was his name, and that in apainful scrawl. There were severalcommunications from Mr3. Weldon, thowoman who claimed she was sent outfrom Brooklyn, X. V., by an Indian soci-ety. She came to the agency about a yearago, but for creating an air of discon-tent among some of the Indians theauthorities repeatedly ordered her offthe reservation. She finallysaid sheloved bitting Bulland went to live withhim on Grand river. She was a remark-ably line-looking woman, thirty years ofage, and had a pretty little son. tenyears old, withlong, curly, dark hair.Indians say the couple lived togetheras man and wife, though there was noceremony performed. Whenever Sit-ting Bull wanted a fresh partner heselected the prettiest of his flock andhis children are scattered throughoutthe Sioux nation by the score. 110thought as much of Mrs. Weldon'syoung son as he did of the woman her-self, and took great delight in puttingthe youngster on one of his ponies andriding withhim on his own charger intriumph to tho ageucy on ration day.Mrs. Weldon took her departurefrom Standing Rock two monthsago.

Thebest medical aid was summoned, bnt of.no avail, and he died. Mrs. Weldouwas grief stricken as was also SittingBullon hearing the news.and he sought;solitude for several days.

While inthe East, after the death of her son, shewrote a number of litters to SittingBull, foretelling the terrible tragedyenacted the other day. She warned himto be on the alert, telling him that themilitary and jealous Indians, who bidedin with the government, were seeking apretext to put him forever out of theway.

GROWING BOLDER.

Hostile Sioux Preparing fur WarinKarnest.

Cheyenne River, S. D., Dec. 10.—One might say that the conflict with thehostile Sioux had already begun. Fromtwenty to thirtyranchers rode and dnwointo camp to-day, allheavily armed, andall agree that the Indians are augment-ing their forces and growing bolderhourly. Itwas ascertained early thismorning that the deserted ranch ana •

outlying buiidinssof a mau named Wil-son were burned to the ground lastuight, having lirstbeen looted. Hon. M.H.Day, aide-de-camp to Gov. Mellette,rode in with four other gentlemen fromhis ranch to-day. Mr. Day reports thatbesides the seventy tepees, which con-tain about 350 Jiostiles, which are lo-cated iv a draw between Battle andSpring creeks, he saw anotherlarge band further down the Cheyenneriver, lie could not count the number,but thinks they will number at least300. He estimated that they had onothousand ponies and a large number ofcattle with them, most of which hadbeen stolen. Early this morning Gen.Carr sent Capt. Stanton, Sixth cavalry,withhis troops, numbering about sixtym«n, to scout and look around for In-dians in the Bad Lands.

Three heliograph stations had beonestablished— one in camp, one up on thetop of the high bluffs, and one whichhad followed up as nearlyas practicableStamon's command. About 2 o'clockp. m., a soldier was seen coming downthe bluff, pushing his horse to a fullgallop, iind immediately the heliographlines commenced working. The ridercrossed the river and reparted to Gen.Carr th t Capt. Stanton was inan en-gagement with the Indians. Geu. Carrgave orders for Lieut. Scott and TroooDtogo to his assistance. Within a fewminutes Uie troop was charging up thabluff to the scene of action. Thesoldier's horse, upon his dismounting;dropped dead, having been ridden hardfor such a long distance. Other troopswere immediately placed in marchiiig,order, and were held in readiness toinarch at a moment's notice. Two hourspassed, news being transmitted by thaheliograph. Some time later Capt-Stanton and the other troops returned,whereupon, being interviewed, it waglearned that some time after uoan h«noticed a largo party of Indians with;i

herd of ponies coming east and heading?for the Bad Lands. He immediately

"gave chase, and after running somemiles gradually drew upon the Indiana,who commenced liring,but their bul-lets went wide of the mark. Shots wereexchanged quite livelyfor some time,when the Indians approached and madefor a snuill creek called WoundedKnee. They went down this creekand into the brakes, up a deep draw,and were lost to view in the Bad Lands.Capt. Stanton followed them for sometime, but fearing an ambush withdrewhis troops and returned to camp. Mostof the ponies, upon hearing the firing,stampeded, and were lost to the Indians,but it is thought they will tryand regaintheir stock inlarge numbers. To-mor-row Gen. Carr will again send out alarge force to look for them. To-nightthere willbe posted on each of the ad-joining bluffs some hundred pickets,and no fires will be lighted in camp.The signal of attack willbe a rille shot-The troops are all holding themselvesinreadiness. Itis expected that an at-tack will occur about daylight in thomorning: between the hostiles and thepickets! Everylx>dy incamp is on thetiptoe of expectation.

RED CIiOUD'S STORY.

Ho Gives Strong TestimonyAgainst a Feeble Administra-tion.Washington, Doc. 19.—Dr. L. A.

Bland, of the Indian Defense associa-tion, has received a letter dated Dec. 10,from the Indian chief, Red C!oud,"atthe Pine Ridge Indian agency, S. D.,concerning various matters there. Thechief says he is the constant friendofthe whites, and all that has been saidabout his preparing his people for warIs false, for they do not desire or intendto go on the warpath. Since his people(the Ogallalas) arrived at Pine Ridge,they had agreed tostop the ghost dance,and he says that so far as thodance is concerned he can trulysay that he never hud any-thing to do with it. Bed Cloud com-plains of the government rations beingcut down more and more every year,and says former delinquencies have notbeen made good. The past two seasonswere so dry that the Indians could raiselittle or nothing, and the rations wereso scant they wen*obliged to kill theirown cattle to keep from starving todeath. In consequence of these hardtimes many became sick from waiit of aproper quantity of food and 217 diedfrqm starvation since the fall of lastyear. Red Cloud refers to his furnish-ing 200 of his people as soldiers and po-lice to assist the "United States govern-ment, as a proof of his good will to-wards the whites, and closes by sayingthat the white settlers and the soldiersare good friends of the Indians, and ifit were not for the soldiers lie did notknow what wouW become of his people.
