- I lay apoa my side with my right leg nader the animal. Tbe two men, each with a gun ^la his band, ran toward me from behind a neighboring rock. Mr situation was most critical.

The rock behind which I had sought •belter ditended several rods, rising in places ten or twelve feet above the ground. I climbed up a few fact and through a narrow crevioo examined the situation. I saw the glimmer of a gun barrel behind a low rock, and was thus enabled to locate at least one of my enemies. Stooping down, I ran to tbs further end of tbe ledge, hoping to get a shot at him. I was disappointed, for he was still hidden from sight. I saw that by crawling up the bill a short distance I eonld gain the protection of a second rook. This I instantly did, yet •very moment fearing they would make a dash for tbe gold, which was still upon my

horse.

They evidently did not realise that I had moved from the rook near the dead animal, and were afraid to venture. Reaching tH*> second ledge, I found to myaunorance that I could not yet see the hidiieti robbers; but by pulling myself along behind a fallen tree I was at last within sight of them. They were crouching on the ground behind a low ledge, each peering around the end of it, intently watching the spot where thev had seen me disappear. Though It seemed au age, it had really only been a couple of minutes sines their first shot was fired at me, and they were evidently waiting Ull they eonld tell whether I was iajnred or

diers came.

, One among their grievances was that tbe commission which came here one year ago hut spring had promised to each individual in toe tribe $50, and that tbe promise was not fulfilled. Another, that no dia- j crimination waa used in the issuing of clothing.

1 after her arrival at the port the Coreans flocked to her sides in their sampans, and many of them were allowed on board. They expressed great surprise and wonder at the many fine things they saw during their

visit aad were delighted.

When night came, however, and the electrie lights were set going, they were filled with astonishment and awe. They were shown the electric bells, annunciators, torpedoes, etc., and at once thev believed the foreigners were in league with the devil. A native would be told to press a button, and a bell would be heard ringing at a distance, whereupon the whole company would rush to that part of the ship to see who was ringing ik Finding no one there, they would attribute the phenomenon to be an evidence that the evil spirit reigned over the

Tassel.

Some of the visitors made ineffectual attempts to prevent the ringing of the bell by grasping the wire tiehtlv in their hands, hoping in that way to head off the evil one who was playing such freaks for their amusemenk An electric primer, immersed in a bucket of water, was surrounded bv half a dozen dirtr ’ * * ' • • -

I instantly sprung up, erring, "Another move and I will kill you.” He turned mid attempted to gain the proteetiou ef the nearest ledge; as he whirled around, I fired again and be loll. I rushed upon him, but he was en hie feet at onee and oaught toe rifle. I fired onee more, breaking hie wounded arm and eau^ing him to let fall the gun. I exclaimed, “Stop, before i kill yoa.” —^ Instead of complying he answered fiercely, "I will cut your heart oak” aad sprang toward am with a bowio knife in his right band. By this time he was within reach, and made a savage thrust at me with toe

kuife.

I sprang aside in time to avoid the blow, aad onee more pulled the trigger. No shot

out of our tribal money, said farmers not even lifting a hand to teach au Indian to farm, I gave my unqualified opinion TliSt the Government farmer is utterly useless to the Indians, especially on a mervatiun like this, where the soil is sandy and more fit for grazing purposes than for farming. It seems that tbe farmers here, in addition to their utter useleseness as teachers of farming to the Indians, had almost autocratic rule in the localities they were appointed to in this respect; that if any man did not please them or do just as they wanted them to do, they had the power, or certainly exercised the power, of taking away from him the farming implemeuta or farming machinery which had been issued to them and giving it to some one else who pleased them

better.

Here is the etory of a widow: Her husband had a favorite horse which he had had a great many years. Before he died he requested to have shot over his grave this favorite horse. She bad it done, and the farmer thereupon took away from her all the stock she had with the exception of one team. He took from her stock which had not been issued to her by the Government, but was her individual property, bought with her own money. He gave it to other Indians. As a counterpart of this story, I will relate one I heard while I was in Boston. It seems there was a wealthy family who lived on the Back Bay. The husband and father of the family had a beautiful hone, ridden by no one but himself, of which he was very fond. He died, and the family, rather than part with the animal, and probably unable to bear the idea that the beautiful creature should pass into the hands of strangers, and be perhaps maltreated, hat* iim shot. No one in Boston seemed to have the idea that because tbe family had made away with an expensivt article all that they possessed should there-

fon be taken from them.

Now it seems that These farmers are required by toe Government to send in reports of their work and the condition of the crops. They did so, making their estimates in the spring. I suppose they were naturally inclined to make the most of their work, whatever it may Have amounted to. Be that as it may, toe weather during the summer was dry and crops were a failure. Then came the cutting down of rations by the departrnenk Tbe clerks there probably based their action on tbe reports of these'farmers. The Indians began to suffer for the want vf food. One Indian woman aaid she counted the number of grains of coflea issued 11 her for a week’s rations, aad the number amounted to just thirty grains. Still, although indignant at the failure of the Government to keep its promisee to them, toe Sioux did not think of lighting in order to right taeir wrongs. They had tried that before and failed. Now comes the so-called ‘Messiah erase” as a factor in the question. A man from one of these agencies here went up north and stayed op there ail summer. When he came back here be called many of them together, and told them that while there he heard of a Messiah, or deliverer, who waa coming to deliver them from all their troubles; that toe eountry waa to be restored to its former condition when there were no white men. only Indiana, and that the buffalo and all kinds of game would be restored to them, so that they could once more live by hunting.

It ta not to be wondered at that many ot the Sioux welcomed the idea of such a dtliverar. Same even of the mart intelligent among them believed.

Besides their infirmities of temper, resulting, I believe, from hereditary dyspepsia, as evidenced by such coated' tongues, offensive breaths, and gurgling stomachs as I have seen with no other ruminants, they are delicate in the extreme. They can work only in the winter months, for, as soon as their wool begins to fall, Samson like, their strength abandons them. They can travel only over a country where there are no stones, for tne pads of their feet wear out, and then they have to be patched, a most tronblesome operation.

The stage glided up to the door of the postoffice, aad the driver jumped to the hoard sidewalk to get his mail-aaeka This was the last stopping-place in Cheyenne. He was up in his box In a jiffy. Robe's were teeked around as, the driver’s foot was on the brake, his long huh curled out over the six fretting bones, redoubled with a merry snap, and we were off, tbe bar* m clanking and tbe epnags chanting a « iteatcd tune as the coach swayed and bounced In the

“I never ride inside a stage. I hate to be shat ap, and as my old friend, Jack Woodbridge, was holding the ribbons on that trie I bad toe seat of honor with him. Jack was one of the most dashing, fearless and snocessful driven that ever jerked a load of paasengen over a Western road. He was always glad, he said, when he reached the first station, where hones were changed. “ ’Yon see,’ he said to me that evening aa we wheeled along, ‘it’s all very meed don’t mind telling you that Jack said damned nice) to have six handsome- black steppen before you.

They aren't halt so handsome as these beauties, apd there will be only four of them instead of six, but for work up fliil and down hill, over bridge and through creek, on the grade and across prairie land, knocking oot your ten miles au hour, give me the four every time,’ and he cut a leader across the flank as we struck a level stretch, and the horses stretched their legs to a rollicking “As we polled out.of the first station, the change of hones having been made in leu than ten minutes. Jack settled down in his

box.

No trot about that—lope, gallop, run, I don’t care, so long as they fdt over the ground, and they git over it. too; don’t make any mistake about that’ “So Jack rattled on wlth/HIk cheerful tongue, talking to me and-fts hones at the same time—often I couldn’t tell which. “It was on the second night out that I began to feel shaky. Tbe air was keen, and bundled up in my big coat I felt drowsy. Every time that I dozed 1 dreamed of Indians'. I couldn’t help thinking what a fine target I made up there on the box. They were all around us. I fell to talking about the Sioux in my more wakeful moments. ‘“Sioux,* said Jack, with a sniff, ‘the Sioux be hanged.’ ^ ‘“There are plenty of themjaround here/ “ ‘Yes, and plenty of other people I hate worse/ he said, with a full oath. “ ‘Road agentsT* “ ‘H-u-m-m/ said Jack. “ ‘What would you do, Jack, if they held us up?’ “ ‘Don’t know/ he said, sharply.
