ADDISON SMITH, the popular and most
extensively known newspaper man in Mon
tana, paid us a visit this week, as he passed
through on his tour in the interest Of the In
dependent. From Diamond he goes to the
Missouri and Gallatin valleys, where we be-
speak for him a cordial welcome.
Mr.. A. ESTES, one of our valley farmers,
called upon us last week and presented us
with a specimen of potatoes produced by
himself that excels anything we had ever
seen before. This specimen consisted of
five potaties, of the Early Goodrich variety,
weighing q pounds. But what is remarka-
BILE is the fact that they all grew in one hill,
or from one vine, the smallest weighing Il
pounds and the largest Il pounds. There
were none others in the hill; hence. it can
not be said that they were small potatoes
or " few in a hill.'' They were smooth, and
perfectly solid. The soil of Mr.. Els farm is
well adapted to the growth of potatoes. He
says he has several hundred bushels OF
choice varieties for sale.

Seelye began to testify regarding defalcations

II was not within their Jurisdiction to inyesti-
nate other United States officials th1n those
located In New Orleans. 1t Is stated by those
who ought to know, that the Casey-Packard
gang are so concerned about the revelations
Seelye can make In regard to their doings In

law OF Packard, here with warrants in his DO let

course the object Of this Is transparent. 1t Is to
dtscredit Seelye's testimony

Packard Co. knew Of, why did they not ca SO
his arrest long ago1 The Chairman OF the COM
mittee caused Mr.. Ayres to be SUNNI on ed to APP
pear forthwith. and he will be required to tes-
thy as to his errdnd here. Morey's conduct In
appearing before the committee the moment ho
heard Seelye had mentioned his name, and be-
fore he had testified to any facts concerninQ
him, has n suspicious look also. How did he
happen to know what Seelye would say about

Clayton OF Arkansas, is prosecuting attorney.
In his charge TO tho Grand Jury Judge Parker
said 1" Besides the ordinary jurisdiction Of dis-

over the lndi,n Territory. You may not indict
AN Indian for an offence committed by him
against another Indian, nor indict an Indian
VINO hrs committed an offence In that country

of Indians against white man or a colored man,

men who, under the second article OF the treaty
with the Creeks, approved the 19tn OF July, 1903
