PROHIBITION IN MARYLAND.

PROHIBITION IN MARYLAND.
Brief mention has heretofore been
made Of the progress the temperance
cause is making in the South generally,
and we now propose 10 go more into de-
tail, not only TO convince those who
doubt, but to encourage our own temper
ance workers. A report of the tenth an
nual convention of the Maryland Tenn
perance Alliance, recently held in Balti-
more, furnishes some interesting facts
concerning prohibition in Maryland. In
this convention local option was highly
commended as a most efficient aid to the
prohibition cause. During the past ten
years more than half the State Of Mary
land has, step by step, beginning first
with local option in industrial neighbor-
hoods, then by districts, and then By
counties, singIy and in groups, declared
by popular vote for the prohibition Of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. The vote
against license, recorded last November,
in three districts of Queen Anne's county
and in the whole Of the counties of Har-
ford, Howard and Anne Arundel went
into effect on the Is. inst. Prohibition
now prevails in thirteen counties, and in
scattering districts in other counties, max
ing altogether an area equal to fourteen
counties out Of the twenty-three in the
State that are operating under this law.
The assertions proceeding from opponents
Of the law that the consumption Of liquor
had increased in local option counties
were stoutly contradicted. Letters from
p citizens Of Calvert county. which county
had been instanced by the enemies Of the
law, as evidence, of its failure. were read
to the effect that the sale of liquor has
been largely reduced. One writer de-
chred that there is,not one.sixth as much
liquor sold in that county now as prior
to the adoption of the new law. An
other asserts that the law has put stop
to the pernicious system of treating, and
has saved thousands of dollars worth Of
property and hundreds of homes from the
sberiff's hammer. The President said it
was no. claimed that the law worked
equally well in all counties; but it did
good wherever adopted in the proportion
that it was enforced In his report he
submitted to the, Alliance the President
recommends adhesion 10 the steady pur-
poses and methods Of the past for secur.
ing prohibition in all the remaining coun-
ties and districts, and makes some WELL
defined suggestions to secure the ultimate
object Of vote on the constitutional
amendment question, movement having
been started last winter looking to con.
stitutional amendment for the prohibi-
ton Of the manufacture and sale Of alco'
holic beverages throughout the State.

The Snow Greek Mines.

From Dan Dutro, who has just re-
turned from the Snow creek mining dis
trlct which is now attracting a great
deal of attention, we have learned the
following facts of interest:
Quite number of prospectors are now
IN this district, and it is estimated there
are about one hundred locations made,
many of them very fine prospects. SUI
nclent work has not yet been done on
any of them, however, to determine
With any definiteness just what is In
them, but better surface prospects have
not yet been found in the Belt noun
tains.
Mr. Dutro is an old prospector and
miner, and aside from experts, who
nave made mines and minerals life
study, there are not many men in these
parts who are better posted on quartz
uan he, and his judgment can be fully
relied upon. He is not one of those who
get excited over his finds and who rush

biggest thing in the mountains" with

Wayside N otes.

Mr.. w. J. Harder, returning from
visit to the upper country sends us from
Prickly Pear canyon the following items
of interest:
Marysville seems a lively camp; the
f1ywheel for the Drum Lummon mill
has just arrived from Deer Lodge. 1t
is about "a feet in diameter, and is
freighted in four sections, each weighing
1854 lbs. The shaft for same, weigh
ing 20,470 lbs. lies at Deer Lodge, and
the freighter says there is no team in the
country can haul it. He has one of the
heaviest wagons, and a section Of the
wheel is as much as he can haul. He
further said that there is no mechanic
or machinery here to cut the shaft. The
difficulty of conveying the wheel strikes
one when he said he had to fell about
two dozen trees in coming over the
range, to allow of it's passage.
A band of 5000 sheep, for Col. Rice,
are camped at the foot of the canyon to-
night heading for Benton.s
Haying is over all along the road;
grain is failure, where not irrigated. [
have met at least dozen men footing it
to Barker.

The Road will be Built.

The committee that was around yes
terday soliciting subscriptions to aid in
the construction of road from Benton
into the Montana district met with good
success. At 4 o'clock last evening they
had $500 subscribed, and will easily
make it a 81, 900. This amount, with
what will be contributed by the citizens
Of the camp, will make good road into
Neihart and Montezuma and open up
the short route to the White Sulphur
Springs.
The river press., 1883-08-15
From the Husbandman.

Tt is rumored here that Thomas Cruise
has invested heavily in the Montana dis
trict.
Sam Berry and Ben. Cook arrived at
the head of the vally recently with up
wards of 1000 head of sheep, purchased
in Utah.
Mr.. Tede, a son-in-law of Jonas Hlg-
Gins, arrived from Wisconsin Sunday
last. His family had preceded him
some weeks.
The new hotel is at length completed,
and 80 new and elegant apartments are
added to the accommodations Of the
Springs Hotel. The rooms are large and
airy, we'll furnished with spring beds,
hair mattresses, nice carpets and furnl-
ture to match. The halls are all carpet
ed and brilliantly lighted with chande-
liers, and guests may enjoy degree OF
comfort and pleasure never before at
tanned. In the arrangement OF the new
building parlor with large bay win
dow has been provided. This has been
elegantly furnished and compares fav-
orably with any hotel parlor in Mon
tana.
The project of organizing bank,
which was set on foot about two weeks
ago, has been fully consummated, up
wards of 1000 worth of stock having
been taken by residents, among whom
we find the following leading citizens
Chas. Mayne, j. Mayne, Louis Heit-
man, Almon Spencer, VIM. Parberry,
w. r. Ford, John Potter, Jonas Hig-
gins, P. III. Maloney, B. r. Sherman, A.
Lincoln, A. Bruckert, VIM. Luppold,
and L. III. Hershfield, Aaron Hershfield
and ). H. Moe, Of Helena. The capital
stock is $4,000. A charter has already
been granted, and business will be COM
menced forthwith. J. H. Moe will be
the cashier.

The indian Commission.

The Indian commission appointed to
treat with northwestern Indians arrived
in the city yesterday at clock by spe-
cial train. The commission consists of
Senators Vest, Dawes, Logan and Cam
eron, and Representatives Haskell and
Maginnis. Vest and Haskell were not
with the party to arrive yesterday. The
afternoon was put in visiting various
points of interest surrounding Helena.
This morning they will leave for the
National Park, and after spending a
few days there, will proceed to the exc
cution of the duties for which the com-
mission was created. - Independent.

interested have the most implicit conf
dence in his representations.
Mr.. Dutro has located six or seven
leads in the new district, and having
been the first in the field he of course
had the advantage Of those who follow
ed. in that he had first choice. The
work he has done on his leads this sum-
mer has increased his faith in tn EN-, and
in the district, which he thinks will be
one of the greatest mining centers in the
territory. In this opinion he is backed
up by all who have visited this camp,
and we can certainly look for the devel-
opment of some big mines there in the
next few years.
The Green & Weatherwax, upon
which lie has done the most work, shows
a fourteen feet vein of free milling ore
in which are found very rich streaks Of
black sulphurets that assay away up in
the thousands. 1t is big mine and q
splendid prospect The next lead to the
east is the Carrie, upon which bat little
work has yet been done. The vein is
four feet wide. The next lead above is
the Big Snowy. This lead is between
three and four feet wide and contains a
streak of black sulphurets from three to
| ten inches in width that will run thou
sands of dollars to the ton. The Blue
| Cloud is an extension of this lead and
of about the same character. The Flora,
next above (all Of these leads are paral-
lei, running north and south), is a re-
markable vein and probably the most
valuable yet found in that region. 1t
shows from six to eight feet of carbon
| ate ores, resembling very much the ore
of the Silver Belle in Barker, but prob
ably richer in silver. This ore will not
only pay big itself, but will be almost
indispensable in the reduction of other
ores, both in the Snow creek and Car
penter districts. The location of these
leads is most advantageous. A tunnel
run into the mountain few hundred
feet will tap four or five Of them, and at
a great depth from the surface, as the
mountain is very steep. There is good
mill site at just the right point, which
has been located, and after these min es
are prospected more fully it is safe to say
it will not be difficult to induce capital
to take hold Of them.

accounts without the slightest intention
to defraud any one, is a criminal act?
Has this act on my part, under the Cir
cumstances shown, rendered me tit
subject to be branded by you as a felon
to be hurled from the high position of
an officer and gentleman to the level
of criminal, to be loathed and Stunned
by honest men? / think not! My case
has been prejudiced by many of the
public papers of the country, who, ig-
norant of the facts, and misinformed,
demanded that [ be made an example
of. Accusations of the most malicious
character, without the slightest founda-
ton, have been published in relation to
my case, and my name has been booked
with those of convicted criminals.
Could have prevente6 these publica-
tions; could I have kept the error of my
acts. no matter how unintentional OF
wrong doing they were on my part,
from my friends and brother officers in
the service, [ would have resigned my
commission and saved myself, my
friends and you, gentlemen of the court,
the modification of this public trial and
NV unfortunate position under this
charge. But this was not to be, and l
am compelled to come to you, not ask
ing for mercy, but for simple justice to
preserve for me my standing as an Of
q I
that you, gentlemen of the court, will
only be guided by your oath in dealing
with me, and that no prejudice ON the
part of any one will influence your ver-
dict. You will rather remember some
good act of my life and my twenty-five
wears of faithful and hard service to the
country in determining as to my intent,
which is only known to myself and my
Maker.
If with my age, my standing in the
communities where / am known, my
high rank and pay IN the army, am
found guilty as charged in these specifi-
cations, it WOULD perhaps be charitable
on your part to accompany these pro-
ceedings with recommendation that /
be consigned to an asylum for the4ln-
sane. for of such condition Of mind 4
must be indeed, when am found guilty
of preying upon the pockets Of my

I thank you, gentlemen OF the court,
and Mr.. Judge Advocate, for the pa
tience and kindness you have shown

and I now rest my case il your hands
trusting to your fair judgment and sense
of justice.

We find the following Sioux City spe-
cial in the Pioneer Press of the 9Th inst:
1t is reported that movement is on
foot among the owners of Missouri river
steamers to arrive at some agreement re-
garding contract business and local
freightage next year-or, in other words,
to establish pool. The success Of the
plan is not probable, owing to the sus-
picion that the Coulsons of Yankton
will undertake to monopolize the local
business, for which purpose it is stated
that they are building two new boats at
Pittsburg to add to their present line of
steamers.

DOUBLE HOMICIDE.
Jimmy Grant, of Dupuyer, and a
Piegan Buck Kill Each Other.
jealousy on Grants Part thesCause of the
Fatal ARRAY.

We have just received from our trav-
cling correspondent the full particulars
of terrible tragedy on Dupuyer creek,
resulting in the death of James C. Grant,
an excellent citizen Of this county, and
o pieean Indian. The facts are as fol-
lows:
There have been for over g year family
troubles between Grant and Piegan
buck who was living with him. Last
Tuesday, August 7th, Grant had been
out cutting hay, and returning home
found his woman gone. He asked the
children where she was and was told
she had gone over to Birch creek with
the Indian referred to. Grant took his
GUN and started in that direction He
met them about two miles from home
and business commenced at once. The
woman says Grant shot first, the ball
striking the Indian in the breast. Grant
was shot twice, one'ball entering under
the left arm and coming out over the
right hip; the other passed through the
left wrist and shoulder, and must have
been received while he was taking aim.
Chas. Cooper was close by at the time of
the shooting, but before he reached the
scene Grant was dead and the Indian
gone The body Of the deceased was
taken to his late home and buried by
the neighbors. The next day half a
dozen men started out to hunt for the
Indian and found him dead not far from
the scene of the shooting.
We are indebted to Tom Pambrun, an
old and intimate friend Of the deceased
for the subioined brief sketch of his
life: James G.. Grant was born at Moose
Factory, n. w. r., in 1910, and hence
was but 43 years of age. His father was
Capt. Richard Grant, in the employ o.
the Hudson Bay company, and who hao
charge Of Fort Hall. He was halt
brother of Mrs. Capt. Higgins, Of Mis-
soula. Grant went to Washington ter
ritory in 1S49 and attended school al
Vancouver Island. He came to Fort
Hall, on Snake river, in 1855, and re-
NAMED there until 1860, when he went
on the emigrant road to Soda Springs
trading for himself, and from there went
to Deer Lodge and lived with John
Grant until 1857. He ranched near this
place for some time, and in 1875 moved
to Dupuyer creek, where he lived unit
his death.
Grant was at one time well to do anC
was probably in fair circumstances al
the time of his death. He was highly
esteemed by his neighbors and bore the
reputation of being square man. He
was half-breed, but an intelligent one
and the woman who caused his death il
a full-blooded Indian. The deceased
leaves q family of seven children.
