WHITE CAPS IN INDIANA
bloy Worthlesm Characters for O11ist

NErw ALBnA NY, Ind., Dec. 19.--Ne wi
has been received here from the south
ern portion of this state of the manner
in wiich sonie worthless characters
were flayed by the so-called White Caps
il I hat. section.
The little town of Mentor, Dubois
county, on the Louisville, Evansville
aiid St. Loits railroad, fifty miles Vest
o' this vit y, was t he scene of their opera
ions. iThere is in that town a saloon
of umsavory reputation among the bet
ter ciass of citizens, and Samuel Brown,
aged 21 years, and single, and d1. Beard,
aged 2" years, with a wife and two clil
dren, have been devoting their entire
time of late to the effort ofd rinking up
all the liquor in this saloon, refusing to
mnake any provision for the support of
those depenwdent upon them.
Iloth hiad received warnings from the
White Caps, but paid no attention to
tliese rnot ices, rather boasting t hat they
"couild clean out. a reglileritm of those
'Whip l'ps,'" as they teriied the
knights of the switch.
At a quarter before 12 o'clock on Sat
irdaY night, as Irown and 14-ard were
enjoviig their ciups at the saloon, the
White Caps suddeilly poltneed down on

U.ITTING BULL'S DECLARATIONS
PROVED TRUE TO THE LETTER.
The Story of the Expedition Which Cost
the Lives of time Famous Chief, of sevenl
of His Followers mnd of Five of The lin
d1ian P'olice.
ST.\NN lOti A;I-NCY, N. Dak.,
Dec. 17.--"God Almighty made me;
3od Almighty id not make me an
agency Indianl, and I'll light and die
lighting before any white man can
mako me an agency Indian."
This was the declaration intde by
Sitting Bull to General Miles on the
occasion of their first meeting, and the
detailed reports of the great medicine
man's death which began arriving at
the agency yesterlay gave to the de
elaration the full force of a pronhecy.
All eyewitnesses agree as to the facts
that every circumstance considered,
make the final tragedy involving the
extermination of' probably the brain
lest Indian that ever Iived one of the
most pietuiresiue and characteristic
incidents of American history.
The expedition which started from
this agency for Sitting lill's caup for
ty miles distant, to take him dead or
alive, with the ehances ten to one of
his death, was no haphazard forav of
semisavago Indian polico and ill-advis
ed army -ubordinates. It, is conceded
that. Lhe operati,n against Sitting
Iull's personality was suggested by the
efect ftual cuelling prodlced by the re
moval of Miedlinie Arrow, the great
Cheyenne leader, when the Cheyennes
threatened an unprecedented uprising.
Sitting Iull's promise to (lie lighting
hatl much to do also in shaping the
letermination for a stidden, decisive
ri-sult, a.s well as t he old chiel's oft-ex
pressed wisih to he remembered as the
last Ildian oin the continent to givei up
his rille. When (eneral Miles left,
'hicago headed inl this diret ion it was
tihe beginning of the end.
Siimtltaneous with the (eneral step
f-ing quietly aboard the train at the big
r-kilroad depot at. Chicago the ixpeill
t ion, which had been with equal quiet
tile iinder preparation at Fort. Yates,
which forms prlt of t lie ageicy. was
lso re-atly to move. Alimlost at the
saile moinent I hat tieneral Miles's car
glided it for t he Nort hwest the- mem
h,ers of his little comn'and here silently
took their departure and were qitith
lost in the darkn'es that enveloped th'e
wildcrness stretching to the camp of
Sitting Bull,on the banks of the Grand
River.
The van was led by men of Sitting
Bulll's ow\n b1looi, Su perbly mounted
and accoutred, every one wore the
bright brazen buttons -mil showv blue
cloth uniforms of U'i le Sami's strv ice.
This was no mere coincidence. It was
tk be part of the great object lesson to
the ghost dancers and a demonstration
o" the valuo of General Miles's new
method of solving the Indian problem
by turning the Indians wholesale into
s 'diers. One t hi ng is certain, the band
of wtAlfel, warmly clad. coi,-per fa(d
ahletes that led the way for the white
diers 1,ent on a tm'ion of uility
WAS a triking contrast to the starving,
