Governor had a talk with Ten boy and Ma
jor Jim at Bannack, yesterday. They were
very friendly, and promise that they will
make no trouble, but want their rations.
They want to go buffalo hunting this fall,
and asked for ammunition, which, | believe,
the Governor promised them when they
start. He also promised to aid in forward

ONLY, a few weeks ago the Benton Record
was gliding 81, Qs. for, getting ,up. sensational
extras and wailing about Meagher county
herders killing "peacable Indians" Now
we have the new that these same ''peacable
Indians are d%epredating and numbering
over in Lewis and Clarke county, near the
line OF Chouteau. Two settlers were killed
and their ranch robbed. The deed is be-
lieyed to have been perpetrated, by Nez
Perces on their. way from the British .pos-
sessions to their old home in Idaho. tits a.
we'll known fact. that only a small number
of the Nez Perces were. captured, most of
she able-bodied warriors having escaped
across the line. Not satisfied with their
new home, they have been making their
way back in small parties all summer, and
this Is the third or fourth, time they have
deprecated upon our settlements since
spring. Whether they propose to remain
peacably in; Idaho, join their fortunes with
the Bannacks, or return again to Her Males
TVS domain, depends, no doubt, very much
on the opportunities for booty,
The isolated settlers OF, Montana occupy a
very precarious position in consequence of
this state OF things, and very justly mani
TEST a feeling of uneasiiess. These rowing
bands of hostiIes traverse. the country as
peaoable Indians, and when. tley,see an ops
p~ortunity to plumber turn upon the unwary
settler, murder him and help themselves,
and get well out. Of the country before the
alarm is raised. 1t has been so ip;many. in
stances, and how often it may be repeated
remains to be seen.,, Our country will not
settle up rapidly as long as matters existi in
this way. The Indian has too, muca advan-
tage. The settler no more qares to kill a
peacable Indian than he does q white man,
and the hostile well understands this and
does not make his true character known unv
til he has the DROP, The only just policy
we think, for the, government to pursue, is
to place all the friendly. tribes on their res
e~ryation and compel them to stay there un-
til the country becomes quiet, il not always.
Let it be understood that when found off
their reservation they will be shot down. as
hostiles, and then our people can protect
themselves When they see an Indian they
will know how to receive him. Our settler
are not towards, but brave. and hardy adj
venturers, and if government cannot afford
protection to their homes and loved ones, it
should give them an equal show at least
with their enemy, and this is the only policy
which the government can adopt at present
to secure it. s -

IT is impossible to tell what direction, the
hostiles of Idaho will take. A portion have

The oat crop is excellent, although there
never was a crop sowed in this, valley with
less faith of harvesting, and many never put
a pillow or harrow on their field, believing it
to be useless, that the young grasshoppers
would destroy everything. if they did, so
they turned their. attention to something
else. But the. constant showers we have
been getting this season has made the stub

the. same ground, this, too, without irriga-
tion.. This volunteer crop will be ready for
harvest two or three weeks before that
which was sown, l wouldjudge that some
field .will be ready for the reaper aboutsthe
last Of the month. The g~rasshoppes hatch
ed out very thickin some places, but as they
grew they scattered, and did no damage
worth mentioning. Most of the gardens
were destroyed, therefore therenwill be but
