The poor Piegans" again appear upon the
scene-this time as aggressors. They are burn
ing towns, attacking trains and killing the set
tiers in the vicinity of Fort Benton, and would
seem to be inviting repetition of the "Piegan
massacre" which AFFLICTED so many tender hearts
about two years since. 1t now looks as if the
old account will be balanced on the wrong side
for the settlers unless the depredations Of the
sayages are speedily checked.

Hunter, the young man who being discarded by
a young woman shot down her father and
mother, in the attempt to reach and kill her In
Summit county, Ohio; at least that is what his
counsel told the jury; but it didn't seem to work,
SIS they brought in a verdict of murder in the

their minds either. Hunter is now hunting for
some other avenue OF escape from the impending
