THE UT1S TROUBLE.
We are in receipt of ji copy of .U10
Carlisle Herald containing a report 1
of the committee on Indian ?xhib-
its at the Cumberland county fair.
The report shows the progress the
Indians at Carlisle arc making and
reflects credit on the children and
their teachers. We will publish the
report in a futuse issue.
Cattle men cannot spend the
money it costs to better advantage
than in advertising their brands in
the Thansportkil By this means
quick and easy communication is
established between stockmen str-ay
stock is easily recovered and steal-
ing rendered impossible. The cost
is comparatively nothing when com-
pared to the benefit of having one's
brand generally known.
The number -of dead letters re-
ceived at Washington the last fis-
cal year wa 8353051. Of this num-
ber 2700000 were sent from local
posloffieos because unclaimed 2(J0-
were held for postage 202000 were
misdirected 86000 bore fictitious
nad dresses and over 9000 were not
addressed at all. Twenty thousand
nine hundred and seventy-four let-
tors contained drafts diecks notes
of c3 of the face value of $1520217
and 26201 contained money to the
amount of Jjv-iyl.iS. Most of the prop-1
erty has been returned to ih prop

There is likely to be trouble tit the
Los Pinos Agency growing-out of the
killing aL aw Indian by -a white man.
The murderer -was-ai-ndstieu Jiy AgCnt
Berry and was taken from him and
killed by the Indians in revenge for
the murder of their fellow. Agent
Berry was arrested and taken away
from his Agency charged with mur-
der cm fiic ground .that 'he -did hot
take proper care of his prisoner.
Ufo Commissioner Meacham was
taken as a witness. This takes from
the Agency the only men who have
much influence with the Indians so
that a general Indian ww is imiui-'
ncnt. To make matters -worse law-
less white -men are committing of-
fenses against -the Tndiams and in-
citing them to deeds of barbarity.
Secretary Sehurz has sent a tele-
gram to the Governor of Colorado
explaining to him the situation and
asking his cooperation to preserve
peace and avert fthe teahwmties erf
war. Whether Berry is guilty or not
it is certainly a risky piece of busi-
ness to take him awaj' from his
Agency at a time when the Indians
are excited arjd raaxly for an out-
hiiealc MOBEETIE TISXAfi.
AVe started on the Oth inst. for
Mobcetie and Fort Elliott Texas
and after some pleasant and some
rather unpleasant experiences arriv-
ed at the former place .on the moun-
ing'of the 1.1th having been delay-
ed about twelve hours by .ti storm.
The road is one of the best in the
country and runs almost directly
west from here to Mobcetie a dis-
tance of 100 miles. Air. Soger has
provided buckboards and a covered
hack for 41k) .accommodation of pas-
sengers and will take them through
in the shortest time consistent with
safety and comfort. Buckboards
and stages connect at Mobcetie for
all points in Texas and New Mexi-
co. Mobcetie is the seat erf govern-
swaif of Wheeler oounty and the
greater port of the Pan Handle a.s
most of the other counties we unor-
ganised and dependent on Wheeler
counly.
Mobeotie has two first class stores
of genornl merehandire one owned
by W. I-L Weed iV Co. the other by
II. Hamburg A' Co. Both these
kinds of produce from onions and
beans up to hidos and :furs and fur-
nish a icadv market for all that the
people of the country liave to soil.
B. F. Clampitt and J. A. Richardson
.each have hotel and livery accom
modations for all who may conu
arid "wo can assure the traveler tha't
ho will receive ifinst class treat-
ment. Shoemakers blacksmiths and
wagonmakrwF stand ready to work
at their rco e live places of busi-
ness and from what we can sco and
hear are doiiig ;a .good business.
Among the blacksmiths Mr. John
Miller stands foremost as all wi!l
agree who have been about his shop
and observed the amount of work
lie turns out. JJcJs.a skillujl work-
man and deserves the success Tic h
having. The court house and jail
is the best building we have seen in
the West is built of limestone two
stories high and 'large -enough In
all the business of the countv. The
main building contains the court
n'ooni count.v ofliccs and the vault
for the" records and public fmulh.
The jail is in a wing of the inain
building and is provided with sub-
stantial iron cells of whicn Mr.
Thomas is the patentoe. The build-
ing is throughout a very substantia'!
aSTair and a credit to the county. ih
cost is $18;000. TJie .(.0WJ.1 ab tiit
base of supplies and 'business cen-
ter of one of the richest stock dis-
tricts in the West suffers from no
boom and will grow up into a vcr.
