The last re port brought in last night was to the ef fect that the Sioux, although they had really made no visible warlike demon strations, yet were behaving in such a threatening manner as to cause alarm in military circles. We understand these gay and festive red devils are indulging in the innocent pastime of riding their Donies into the Aeect's Drivate residence.

of course much to the gratification of said Agent, also that they are sportively running around and committing petty annoyances towards the authorities, which clean shows that the respect they bear for these men in power is not any more extensive than a grain of mustard seed, and consequently Uncle Sam's no ble military sons are apprehensive, but apparently don desire that fact known, very likely because if it were, men in the Hills would be forewarned, and of course might receive the red devils if they do break -out, with a warm reception, and it would never do for an Indian to be kill ed, no matter what happened to the pale faces, of course not. We also un derstand that Crazy Horse is on his ear because the Agent will not give him a permit to leave the Agency on a hunting excursion, notwithstanding that nobia son has pledged himself to deliver up any of his band who should so far forget themselves as to commit any dep redations within 25 miles of the village He says his absence for awhile is impera tive, and he desires to start at once, and cannot be reconciled to the idea that a big chief scoundrel, should have his liberty restricted in any manner. We learn further that Uen. brook has arrived at Bed Cloud in a hurry; also that the soldiers who were ordered to march from the different military ptsts near by have -arrived, alter making forced marches, and that yesterday was the day selected by Gen. Crook to to corral the Sioiu and quiet them down.

The Cheyenne coach, which ar rived last evening, brought the news that a trail which had evidently been made by some 400 or 500 Indians was crossed near the Cheyenne river. The tracks indicated that they were traveling towards the Agencies, and we are" inclin ed to think that this must be the same band reported by the telegraph as trav eling towards Camp Sheridan Spotted Tfil Agency, under the command of Fast Bull, with the avowed intention of surrendering like good little and, if possible, receiving as reward, fresh arms, ammunition and a good chance to start out again to hunt The Cheyenne Leadbr of the 27th inst. contains the following: 'Another important move on the bor der will take place from Red Cloud Agency. Gen. Crook was expected here yesterday irom Umaha, but instead ot coming this far he left the train at a way station about one hundred miles east, where he took a special coach and was whirled northward toward Bed Cloud, arriving there at a very early hour this morning.

This sudden change of programme was caused by his receiviug important advices concerning the movements of Sitting Bull, and his instant determination to lead a strong force of the enlisted Iodiai. soldiers in the coming campaign. He will, on or before the 10th take out some four or five hundred of these copper-colored cavalrymen, striking across the country toward Cantonment Reno. Although not yet definitely known what chiefs will accompany Crook, it is probably that Spotted Tail, Crazy Horse and Little Wolf will go. W.

P. Clark, of Crook's staff, will, of course, lead the -red riders We shall await further details of these movements with eagerness." ''The proof of the pudding is in the eating that is the only remark we have to make. Troops for the Black Gen. L. P.

Bradley commanding Camp Eobinson, telegraphed Gen. Crook on Wednesday last as "I send one company from Laramie and one company from here to the Black Hills to-morrow, with" thirty days' supplies. Fourteen five women, and three children from Lame Deer's band came into Spotted Tail Agency yesterday. Lime Deer's Village, fifty-four lodges, is at the tnouth of Little Powder river. I shall send out another party to try and get them in.

This is the same party of hostiles struck by Gen. Miles last spring, which engagement Lime Deer and several other Indians were killed." The band is a remnant of S.tting Buli's village, not yet driven in by the troops in the Deparlment of Dakota, and their coming in and disarmament wi.l render the Hills country safe, even at the northern extremity, which has been beyond the reach of the troop' Cheyenne Leader, Sept. 2. We have frequently noticed pedestrf- ani standing in the middle of the streets in small crowds, annarentlv en eased in earnest discussion, and when a horseman or team is seen cominc thev don't at- tempt to disperse until the last minute, when they run in every direction except the right one like a flock of geese, and the lives of either horsemen or buggy-riders, by VcomDellinsr them to check up or make a sharp turn to avoid running over the dilatory ones. Jow, although we don't advocate extremely fast driving, yet as long as a man has his horses under control, and considering that the road is for riders and drivers and not for pedestrians, we think that it would be expedient if the latter would "look a leetle ouad" and occupy the side walk for discussion instead of the road, for really when a man is riding fast his danger, in case he runs over anyone, is equally as great as that of the unfortunate who is knocked down, and who in reality has only himself to blame for not keeping his eyes open.

Some men appear to delight in standing in the road until a horse is ose on to them, then dodging first in one direction then in another, and after the equestrian or driver has passed, the first mentioned appear lo take especial delight in cussing the last named. In this connection we will also say that we do not believe men should be allowed to ride or drive at a dangerous gait, and by this we mean at such a rate of speed that a horse cannot be turned or stopped on the instant, in fact, some men ought never to ride or drive on the street out of a walk, but again, there are other who have such control over a horse a-t to render reasonably fast riding or driving perfectly safe, if pedestrians will only keep cool, and not endanger their own lives bv dodging. The rule is that when any one is run over, the man who is held responsible the accident is discovered to be either drunk or totally incapable of handling ahorse. Of. course there are exceptions to tliis but they are few and far between.

BARNES. News Aitent at Troy form- elly (iayville, is our authorized agent for the sale and delivery of the daily at Gayville and points aoove. Local Brevities. Considerable building is going on at Anchor City at present. Times are getting more lively.

If you don't believe it, take a trip around town at night and be convinced that there is more monev exchanging hands than there was a week ago. A change of programme at the Gem theatre almost every evening. The pop ularity of this place of amusement is in creasing daily. Last night a full house greeted the performers with loud ap plause. $The new storebuildings in Gayville are far superior in every respect to those de stroyed by the fire, and the citizens de serve much credit for the enterprise they have displayed in this direction.

A city destroyed by fire and rebuilt in two weeks would make the people iu the States open their eyes. A few nights since W. S. Travis, of Travis created a sensation by ap pearing on the street driving the first lour horse team ever hitched to a buggy in the Hills four spanking bays, and last evening his brother, C. M.

Travis, appeared with four rattling sorrels, which attracted considerable attention from the bystanders, owing to the novelty of four-in-hand to a buggy. A man named Chively, of Anchor City, met with a rather serious accident the night before drawing a load of hay over the ore road built by Cunningham and Dorrington, at He drove the wagon too near the bank, and in consequence it fell over, Mr. Chively and a man accompanying him going with the wagon. The former received a broken head, and the latter injured his hand. We heard of two men, who through their own carelessness, nearly met with an accident in Deadwood last evening by running under a team, also of a man in G.iyvillv?, who nearly came to grief through the same cause yesterday ai'ter-noon, and another in Central City.

In each one of these cases the pedestrians, had they been injured, could only have blamed themselves, for in every instance the rate of speed being traveled by the horses was sufficiently slow to satisfy the most timid. A row occurred in Elizabethtown last eveningjabout dusk, during which pistols were flourished, and for awhile judging from appearances one would have thought that reporters were in luck, but the inconsiderate combatants concluded they would rather quit fighting than to read their obituary notices in spirit land. Such is life; and a reporter's life, especially, the cup containing glory, invariably being struck from his lips before he gets a chance to more than take an incipient sip. An Eastern man the other day remarked that if black eyes made beauties, then Deadwood contained more pretty women than any ether town, provided a man did not object to the shade of one eye being darker than the other. Che remark is true, to a certain extent.

Deadwood does contain many beautiful black eyed women, whose eyes are black naturally, but these same rarely appear with one eye of a darker shads tlun the other, because they won't stand any foolishness of that kind. The fact thervj are only three or four women in town with black fye3, given them by nature, but the number of women who oc-casionaly carry black eves is much more numerous.
