A Washington special says the medical

OUR INDIAN TROUBLES.

Since our last issue the Indians hase
been comparatively quiet in our immedi-
ate front, although they are still lurking
around, waiting for favorable opportu,
nifty to renew hostillties.
Elsewhere we publish . letter from
Fort Pease, giving . detailed account of
the recent attack on that brave little gar.
rlson, the subsequent killing Of James
Edwards. and the narrow escape of r.
W. Mccormick. This little band of pio-
neers, engaged in the laudable enterprise
Of opening up the finest portion Of the
public domain, and forming . nucleus
for permanent and safe settlement of the
country, 10 In precarious situation. The
people Of Bozeman promptly responded 70
their call for assistance. and tomorrow .
boat will leave Benson' Landing with
needed supplies and . reinforcement of
eight or ten men. but this relief, we fear,
will not make lneir position secure, If the
situation has been correctly represented.
These troubles were not anticipated by Maj
Peasc or the men o: the expedition when
they left here. At that time . steamboat
with troops on board had passed above
the mouth of the Big Horn, and it was
reported that troops would be left 1t that
point; Clusters formidable militsry *.
petition was expected along In short
while, and It was thought here and 20 re-
ported by Press dispatches from the East
that military post would be established
at or near the present location of the ex-
redit,op; the Crow Indians were in the
vicinity, anc everything looked promis-
ing for the safety Of the boys, but the
boat returned without leaving any troops,
the Custer expedition to that country has
been abandoned apparently, the Grows
''lit out" and the little band Of brave
pioneers was left alone, and ct last &C.
counts their hastily constructed stockade
was virtually surrounded by hostile saw
ages, thirstipg for the blood of the in
mates. The expedition has trespassed on
no Indian reservation, its present head
quarters are on the public domain, its OBJ
jects are of peaceful and commendable
nature, and the Government should not
only protect bat encourage Il.
Zach Root came in from the Mammoth
Hot Springs, National Park, last evening.
He saw no Indians on the trip, nor In
dian signs. Last week they were report.
ed on the upper road. but several parties
have since passed over the route to the
Park without being molested or seeing
any Indians.
Mr.. CLARK came In from tho Yellow
stone Crossing Wednesday, and reported
Indians still In the vicinity.

From the Now North West, July 10.
During the heavy wind storm on Wed

high fumes between Pilgrim and Trade
water Bars were blown down doing sever
d thousand dollars damage and killing
and wounding . number Of cattle.

Nine Nile July 9Th. He and another man
were telling timber; . tree lodged; while
saving shingle cut off the but to drop 1t,
the tree slipped. struck and crushed him.
He only lived few hours. He was resi-
dent Of Frenchtown and about to start .
restaurant at Nine Mile.
A letter from Mr.. John Rians, Nine
Mile, July 5th says: ''There u nothing
new here of consequence. In about four
weeks there will be some mining IN the
camp. The parties working the Patent
ground started two strings of sluices last
week and intend to start one more this
week. In two weeks more ten or twelve
companies will be sluicing. There are
about 200 men In camp. We have an ex-
press now on Wednesdays and Fridays,
run by !. A. Robinson"
Now if the President will see that his
appointees, Goodwill Register, and Veyser
Receiver, pack up their commissions and
things and get out here he will b. doing
q Land Office business. Its bad enough
to have all our boys ignored nd the
offices given to carpet-baggers, but its
worse than bad to have the appointees
remain in the States when their duties are

rotary Of War.
The petition printed below, which has
received the signatures ofa large number
Of our people, Is . fair expression of pub.
Lie sentiment in this Territou on the pres
snt military situation and The necessity
which exists lor an increase of the mill
tary arm In Montana. THIS document, we
understand, viii be forwarded to the War
Department through Lieutenant General
6heridaa, whose arrival in the Territory
10 expected At IN early day:
To the Honorable Secretary Of War
We the undersigned citizens Of Montana,
beg leave to represent that the milita.JJ
situation In this Territory ct the present
time urges upon rs IN earnest solicitude
for our citizens and soldiers who are in
that portion of the country exposed to the
lncursions Of the hostile Sioux. II has
been made known to 10 that within the
las, few days, three soldiers were murder
ed by the Indians near Camp Lewis, on
Trout Greek, in this Territory, and large
number OF freightiDg animals stolen. We
believe that the military force in Montana,
decimated - it 10 BY expiration of terms
of enlistment, 10 entirety inadequate for
the protection of our citizens who are pur-
SUNG the business Of transportating sup
plies for our people and carrying out pre-
cious metals to eastern market for refine
ment and coinage. We are informed that
IL . sufficient force had been stationed in
the Muscleshell country this season, many
valuable lives would have been saved and
much property rescued from the Indians.
And it ID also known that if the efficient
commander of this district had had sui.
flcient force foS the purpose, he would
have 20 stationed them in time to afford
ample protection to al, and would have
thus averted that irreparablc injury which
has fallen upon our commerce and damag-
Ell the reputation of our Territory as al
peaceful abode for the great tide Of emf
grafton seeking homes in the Northwest.
The knowledge possessed Ly these 1ndi-
ans Of the strength Of our garrisons, and
of whatever else of our actions - concern
them, impels fear Of consequences which
We scarcely dare contemplate. For these
reasons, and knowing the inability of cur
present military force to afford sufficient
protection to the lives and property of
our people, we beg you to grant our urg
emit prayers for more troops, at the earliest
practicable period, - well in justice to|
the enterprise which constantly throws
our pioneers to the front, a. 10 foster that
industry which adds ito millions annually
to the hard money currency Of the United
States.-[ Herald.

Van II. Fisk, OF the Helena Herald

absence of three CT four months in Iowa
and Illinois, with LOCO head of fine
|sheep, and after leaving them at Ogden
came on to Corinne and purchased . cou-

the headgear on left the other loose while
he looked over his flock. Meantime Q
boy with the Ogden herd came along and
gobbled the loose animal up. Mr.. FISH
came back directly, and found him mise
ing; took after the herd. and after wrang
ling with the boy captured what he
thought was his own quadruped and re.
turned to quarters, happy At the though,

but 1t was too thin altogether-thc man
was along who owned the stolen animal
and identified 1t, and Jail or good security
was the only resource Of Mr.. Fisk. His
story "wouldn't wash''-he was too
we'll known in Utah, and they had cap
tured the chief Of the gang 1t last (said
the mob) and only after extraordinary

saved from the jug. He telegraphed tor

The Last. The Greatest.

Should any ''doubting Thomas" still
cling to the absurd idea that there will
be another postponement of the last
Library Gift Concert, let him remem-
Der that Mr., Briggs, the new manager,
fully endorses the promise of Gov.
Bramlette, the former one, that If the
concert does not take place at the time
specified, the money will be refunded,
ut once, to the ticket-holder. Let him
further observe that Mr.. Briggs has Sc
cured, of course ut an enormous ex-
pense, the services of Gilmore, the
greatest leader IN America, with his
orchestra of 100 select performers, who
will conclude the series of concerts
with such a burst of harmony as has
never before awakened our Western
homes. And, by the way, let him also
remember that ii he does not possess
at least coupon ticket, this music
will never reach his ears.
