fire department, are still doing yeomsn service

they take the pillow along with the speed of a
steamer. Not long since they ran off, and
were not recovered for half day.

Gas TAR. AT the last meeting of the City
Council resolution was adopted providing for
special committee of two from each Board to
take iuto consideration the necessity for con-

vent its discharge into the river, and the follow

slider the subject, viz: Lewis Mckenzie and

NEW FEDERAL OFFICIAL.

DR. w. G. Child has received official notl-
fication of his suspension from the Office OF
Register of the Helena Land Office, and the
appointment as his successor of ono w. +.
Goodwill. No reason for the change IS as
signed. Mr.. Child has held the office for sew
eral years, having been appointed, without
any solicitation on his part, during the term
in Congress of Mr. Clagett. He has discharg-
ed the duties of Register with ability and
fidelity, and it is not known why he is now
removed. 1t is surmised that his position as
agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. and of the Utah
and Montana Stage Line, may have brought
about his suspension. No other cause can
even be guessed in trying to account for the
proceeding. We have yet to hear of one
word Of complaint to the detriment Of Mr..
Child in connection with the Registership.
He has brought attention and efficiency to the
discharge of his duties, and while not permit:
ting those duties to interfere with his other
responsibilities, has never allowed them to
suffer from the slightest neglect. Mr.. Good
will is a stranger, whom nobody i'll these parts

4 Hunter DrOwMed-A Double Murder
by an Indian.

From tie Benton Record, May1.
Mr.. John Donnelly, better known as " Ar
kansas" was drowned in the Big Sandy or
the 18th ult. He and his partner, Valentine
had passed the winter hunting, and were
working their way to Benton. Having killed
some game near the Big Sandy, ARKANSAS
crossed the river to skin it, leaving his part
ner to prepare dinner. When the meal was
prepared, Valentine called his partner, bu|
receiving no answer, instituted a search, and
found his partners horse upon the opposite
side, dripping with water, but no trace of the
rider. 'Arkansas" was dressed in suit Of
heavy blanket clothing, including an over
coat, and was further laden with well-tilled
ammunition belt, through which was thrust
a gun. 1t is supposed that his horse became
entangled in the willows and threw him into
the stream, when he instantly sank under his
heavy load.
Mr.. Murray Nicholson arrived in town day
before yesterday, and reported that on the
Gath ultimo Mr.. Jack German, his partner in
the coal bank ranch, and one Frank Keesee
disappeared mysteriously in the following
manner: The two men, with two-horse
wagon, left the ranch in the direction of the
Sandy bayfield,, taking with them one gun
and intending to return the same day. AS
they remained absent several days, Mr. Mich
olson followed the wagon track on the 2Sth
ult to a spot in the hay field, where he dis
covered new grave, pools Of blood, but no
sign of the wagon or horses.
A correspondent of the IndepcndeM states
that detachment of soldiers repaired to the
place designated, dug up the bodies Of the
two men, brought them to Benton, where an
inquest was being held by the Coroner. 1t is
thought that the jury's verdict will be that
the men came to their death from the effects
of wounds inflicted by Little Mountain, an
Assinaboinc Indian, the one who killed Buck
shot and Poliete on the Rock Spring Range,
Whoop-up road, in 1871. He was with Cor
man and Keesee when they left the coal bank,
and as no trace of him has been found the
impression prevails that he murdered the men
and drove off with the wagon and effects.]
