Mules CRY, April Especial. The
contract for building the Custer county
court house at Miles City, was to-day
awarded to Jos. Leighton, of st. Paul, for

The Cz.i,,Sse Bill Vetoed.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The president has
returned the Chinese bill with his objections.
It is not probable that modified bill will be
passed this session. The Pacific delegation
roundly denounce the veto. Gen. Rosen-
cranz, chairman of the democratic national
committee, claims that the veto assures the
democrats control of the next house. The
republicans will not, he thinks, even attempt
to contest the congressional elections IN Cali
fornia, Oregon and Nevada, while the labor
interests from one end of the country to the
other will be arrayed against the president's
party. >r wac j @sH

Letter from Turtle Valley.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Will you please
publish the following in your next week
ly issue tor the benefit of land hunteIS and
in justice to this community? have
noticed several articles in the TRIBUNE
from time to time that everything said or
done in this vicinity has always been
credited to Painted Woods. Now in JUS
tice to myself and neighbors, will say
that was the first man to locate the first
ranch between Bismarck and Fort Bu-
ford, namely, July 1, 1875. Oct 1, 1877,
postotfice was established here under
the name of Turtle Valley. We are not
preiudiced against Painted Woods, but
we will insist upon having our ghts and
Just dues credited to us where it rightly
belongs. This place does not belong 10
Painted Woods district. The old orlgi
nal Painted Woods is at w. II. MERGERS
place, but when the postoffice Was estab.
lished at Peterson's it was called Painted
Woods. That point is now 15 miles from
this place. I also wish to correct an arti-
Gle in the weekly Of March 81, stating
that Painted Woods was the nearest land
ing 10 Willard. In plain words | may
say thai it is not so. The road to Willard
leaves the Stevenson road three miles
northwest of this place. We have an ex
cellent landing mile and three quarters
west of this place, right opposite the Vii
lard road. Having watched the landing
referred to for seven years, / can guaran-
tee good landing in ali stages of water; !;
and in conclusion I will also say that as
to quantity and quality of land, this place
is second to none from Bismarck to Fort
Buford. Now, Mr.. Editor, if you have
surplus of land hunters huddled around
you, just send them on and L will assist
them in finding good land. Remember
that this is tributary TO Bismarck.

A Rad Lot.

ST.. Lou1s, April 6.-The body Of Wood
Hite, brother of Clarence Hite, now in the
penitentiary for participation in the Winston
train robbery, has been found near Rich
mond, Mo-, and an inquest is now being
held. tits understood that Dick Little killed
Hite, but it is believed that Bob Ford, the
slayer of Jesse James, was also concerned in
the murder. Hite was shot through the head
and buried by Bob Ford and Dick Little in q
spring near Ford's farm. It is not unlikely
that Little and Ford will be arrested for the
murder.

Walter Rounstree, university student, was
fatally shot by Frank johnson and Enoch

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The following alb
stract from letter from Gen. Pope is made
public:
\ 'sFort Leavenworth, Kas., April 3.-Major
VIM. Gwin, Washington Sir: leave to-
morrow for Reno. The situation is plain.
The Indians cannot live on reduced beef ra-
tions. There are 100. 600 cattle, grazing not
far from there. Rather than starve, they
will do as we do-take by force what cattle
are needed to keep them and their families
from starvation. This will provoke Indian
hostility which will lead, God knows whore.
The only legal act the military can do is 10
make them starve peaceably, most inhu-
man service. Some department of the gov
ernment should assume the responsibility Of
spending few thousand dollars for beef
rather than have an Indian outbreak on q
large scale. There is no game to subsist on
in the Indian Territory. Is it really wise on
the part of the government for such paltry
sum to plunge the frontier into war with the
Indians, or to assemble strong
military force to force these
unhappy creatures to starve in peace! There
will be fearful responsibilities somewhere, if
this matter is not settled now, as it can be
done in an hour. Should I find nothing done
when reach home shall probably assume
the responsibility myself. I had rather suffer
anything myself than 10 see an Indian out
break so inexcusable. unjust and fraught
with such dreadful consequences. There IL
no reason in it. You show this to the secre-
tary of war.

weapon to the level with his eye with The

back of the outlaws head. Even in that mo-
ton, quick as thought, there was something
that did not escape the acute ears of the
hunted man. He made motion as 1t to
turn his head to ascertain the cause of that
suspicious sound, but too late. A nervous
pressure of the trigger, quick flash, sharp
report, and tho ball crashed through the out
laws skull. There was no outcry, just
swaying of the body, and it fell heavily back
upon the carpet. The shot had been fatal,
and all the bullets in the chamber of Charles

not more effectually have decided the fate OF

Is ST. LOUIS, April 3.-Gov. Crittendea has

and testified in the coroner's in quest.
The inquest began at 8 a.. M, the room
being packed uncomtortably. As Mrs.
Samue]s entered the room all eyes were
tnrned upon her. Every endeavor was
made to gain view of the woman who,
although the mother of an. outlaw, had
the respect of every one in the room.
She moved with slow step and bowed
head to the witness stand. She was
dressed in black, and wore black veil that
hardly covered her face. When she took
the stand her face had a resolute appear
ance, bat as the examination progressed
that disappeared and she was very much
affected She testified that she was the
mother of Jesse James, and she had seen
the body but moment before. "Is that
the body of your SOM" asked the cor
oner" 1T isl she answered, aad then
sobbed out, "Would to GOD it was not"
As she retired from the court room a
thrilling incident occurred. Dick Little,
who betrayed Jesse James part in GER
tain robberies in his confession of a few
days ago, was standing nearthe door, and
as she neared the opening she saw him.
Her eyes rested on him moment. Then
she turned upon him with the fdtocity of
tiger. "Traitor! traitor! traitor!' she
exclaimed excitedly, "God will send ven
geance on you for this. You are the
cause of all this. Oh, you villain! I
would rather be in my poor boys place
than in yours!" Little covered like a
whipped dog before the towering rage
of the bereaved mother, and turned pale
and red by turns. 81 did not, hurt him - I
be answered. IT thought you knew who
killed him."
