:. There has been q late tragedy at A1d1ich, on
the hno Of tho Northern Pacific Railroad, which
may bring on serious battle between the citi-
zens OF the Rection and large band OF Pil1ager
Indians who arc bunting in tho district. 4
trader lost suck Of flour, and, believing that 4
neighDoring Indian family had stolen it, searched
their wigwam and found the -four. He seized
and took it to the section-house, and WIS fol-
lowed BY two Indian boys, who said that the
section -house-keeper's son had eold them the
-four. The boy denied it, and then fell upon the
Indian boys and beat them severely. They
went home to their wigwam aud told their biz
brother, who came out with his gun and went
to the secton-house to get repafation for the
abuse the lite fellows had sustained. He
could get no satisfaction from the keeper, who
closed his door in the Indian's face and held it
f.at. The Indian 'nen put the muzzle OF his
gun close to the door and fred through into tho
house. The ball cut of fngar Of tho section
house Keeper and passed into the head Of his
daughter. girl OF 13, causing her death. The
retroEting Indian was fred at from the house
and wounded, but managed to drag hinsolf to
his wigwam. and then the band moved OF. The
Sheriff got sitter them, and they refused to giva
up the wounded Indian, asserting that in = day
or two he would de- and thus settle the difficulty
