Caught in The Corn.

Frank Jones, u colored man, who resides in
the county, appeared In the Police Court to-
day to answer charge OF assaulting Richard
Delaney, also colored. Delaney said that last
Monday night he was passing through Brother
Jones' cornneld, when somebody shot at him,
and for some seconds the air was illled with
buckshot, some of which took effect In his
ears and some In his legs. Delaney said that
he looked around and found Brother Jones
was shooting at him and inquired the reason
for the salute, whom Jones responded that
some d niggcr md been stealing his corn
and he was laying for him with shotgun.
Delaney merely remarked that Brother Jones
had soughtI the wrong nj gger for target, and
straightway hied him TO neighboring
magistrates onlce whore a warrant was pro.
cured. Jones testified that he had learned
that some OF tho brethren OF the church were
in the habit Of robbing his cornfleld, and 80
ho spent Monday night In the fleld, and when
he heard the corn rustllng ho lay low and
blazed away. Judge Smell Imposed a nne of
$50 or sixty days, and Brother Jones de-
scended into the dock to wait for tho van.

Two Cav. Females.

Detectives Coomes and McElrresh have ar.
rested two young women who gave their
names as Kitty Daily and Annie Schaelfer for
the Baltimore authorities, MS they are wanted
for shop-liitlng. Detective Lyons says that
these young women began their operations in
Baltimore on October 21. They took rooms at
a flrst.class hotel and went to various large
dry goods stores, ordered expensive silks and
lnccs TO be sent TO their rooms to BIO paid for
on delivery, and when the goods were deliv-
cred they would leave the parties detained In
the hotel lobby while the things wore sent to
their rooms TO be examined. They would then
take the things and quietly leave the hotel by
way of the ladies entrance. 1t took tho ladies
long time to examine tho goods, and by tho
time tho innocent messenger was tired OF
waiting they had them pawned and were
themselyes out OF reach. IN thls manner they
swindlod a number OF prominent merchants
OF Baltimore getting from one merchant Il
sealskln sacque valued at $500. II is thought
that they had boon playing this game In New
York and Philadelphia before they went to
Baltimore, and that they came TO this city for
the same purpose. They were turned over to
Detective Lyons, who took them to Baltimore,

Word From Delegate Maginnis.

Col. j. j. Don,clly received letter
Sunday from the Hon. Martin Maginnis,
our delegate i'll congress, in which the
status Of the bills in which Benton is
particularly interested is defined.
The Blackfoot reservation bill has
been referred to Indian Commissioner
| Price for his opinion. Before reporting
f Commissioner Price desires to hear from
his agents, and the result will depend
! Very materially upon the reports made
! BY Agents Young and Lincoln. The
! latter is now in Washington and will
warmly urge the passage OF the bill.
Delegate Maginnis expresses the fear
that Major 1oung's report will be adj
verse, Il fear we trust is not well ground
ed. He has, however little hope of get
! ting this measure through owing to the
delay oceasioned BY the deadlock. 3
The Fort Bonton military reservation
! bill is in better shape and lie thinks will
become q laws. 1t is Oh the calendar Of
both houses, being reported favorably
by the military committees Of both the
! house and senate.
| Major Naginnis Is confident he will
succeed III getting through the Fort

lnent bill. and the bill giving the n +.
railroad the right Of way through the

projects will go over.

A VALUABLE FIND.
Discovery of Rich Coal Deposit 20 Miles
from Benton.

Max Waterman gives lis the following
information regarding recent discovery
which is bound to be Of great benefit to
Benton and the country adjacent, viz
the finding Of an immense vein of bitu-
minous coal near Deep creek. The dis
and Geo. ]. Knight. These men We're

coal Vein. which seems to have become
/ exposed by a wash Of earth caused by re-
| cent heavy rains. 1t is situated in a lit
/ tie canyon on the east side Of Deep, and
about 20 miles from this city. The dis
eoverer- Iaeea the cropping for over 70
feet, atIdf,lGg in for two or4 three feet IT
five or six different places. At each
place they found the same width of vein
and quality Of coal. The vein at the
surface is ! feet thick, lying on a strata
Of soapstone and covered by n roofing Of
sandstone rock, little streaks Of coal be
ing seen IN the sandstone, a good indica-
ton that the coal vein will increase i'll
size IS they get il. The vein slopes up,
thus giving good drainage and facili-
tating the working Of the mine The
coa1 is fituminous III character, and has
been tried in a stove and in 4 forge. It
burns With brigh} fame and boils up
as ii were when heated; would be excel
lent gas coal. It viii coke readily. An
experienced blacksmith at Sun River
gives it as his opinion that It is superior
in quality to the celebrated Blossburo
coal i'll Pennsylvania for welding pur-
poses and general blacksmith use In
one place the top was stripped Off and a
chunk weighing over 200 pounds taken
out, it being solid coal, with 40 slate or
refuse Of any kind attached or running
through it. This is as much as the work
done OH it has disclosed and we are as
sured that the truth is not stretched in
this statement.
When the report of the find was given
in Sun River the people there were dis
posed to be credulous as to its value but
the story was more than confirmed by
visit to the mine. 4 stock company has
already been formed to develop and
work the mine, with capital stock of
$500, 600, divided into 10000 shares. a
limited number Of which will be placed
on the market. Four men left Sun Riv-
CT yesterday morning TO work on the
vein, fully outfitted with tools and
months provisions, and the company
believe they will be able to put this coal
on the Benton market this winter.
Mr.. Waterman brought number Of
specimens OF the coal home with him. d
small one Of which he gave to the re-
porter. E IS very black, bright and
clean, and rather light, and looks to be
superior TO any coal we have seen in
Montana. Indeed, il the vein turns out

gives reason 10 expect, this Is the best
ind most important coal discovery vet
made in the Territory, and will be Of
value not only to Benton but
