"An eagle eyed hunter" got on board
the train at Glendive and told our friend
A. M. w., a tough yarn about the way
they kill buffalo. A. NJ. W., has. put it
in print. 'The eagle-eyed hunter" relates
how they are able to plant ball behind
the shoulder in such place as to pro-
duce death in just five minutes, and the
COW shot at is caused to act in such
manner as not only to not alarm the bal
ance, but keep them chained to the spot
by her curious performances until the
same experiment is tried upon the whole
herd. 1t occurs to us that "eagle-eyed
hunter" must have commissary with
train loaded with cartridges to enable
him to kill all the herd, as it is known
they are generolly in large bodies.

natien was the supreme motherland, the
doctrine Of state sovereignty OF natural
supremacy respectively, for which the
martyrs in two contending armies died
in battle. would now call upon all our
ex-soldies, Federal or Confederate, to
sancitify memorial day in this territory
by clasping hands over the common
graves of American soldiers dead. I re-
commend the observance of the thirtieth
day of May next as a fraternal memorial
day. Our strife was purely domestic. To
treasure its hostilities, as if victory had
been won overa foreign foe alien forever,
is unwise and entirely subversive of the
great lesson of the war for more perfect
union" Let us celebrate that day in the
spirit of the proclamation.

They started from St Louisin the spring
of 1905 and explored the Missouri to its
head, then went over the Rocky noun
tains and down Clarke's Fork to the
Columbia river, and down that to the
mouth. The party wintered OH the
Columbia, and in the spring retraced
their steps. When they arrived at the
forks Of the Missouri the party divided,
Lewis going down the Missouri, and
Clarke, with party Of twenty five men,
went up the Gallatin to where Bohemian
now is, and crossed the range on &. game
trail Gust where the present wagon road
runs and made his first camp ON the
Yellowstone, in the timber, just below
where Livingston stands, on July 18th,

That was good joke Col. Sanders play

to be in readiness for him at a certain
time he repaired to the livery stable and
finding team hitched up, took it with
out any ceremony, except to dispossess
the boy in charge. and drove to Bedford.
1t proved to be a private team and 80 in
censed was the proprietor that he swore
out a warrant and sent the sheriff in
search of both the Colonel and team.
The team was probably captured but so
far the Colonel has eluded the officers
and has been sojourning among friends in
Bozeman. We do not know that any of
them have cut his acquaintance on account
ofhis taking" qualities.

Tomorrow, the Brooklyn and New
York City Suspension Bridge will be
opened to the public with appropriate
ceremonies. 1t is also the birthday of
Queen Victoria. Some of our Irish fellow
citizens make objections, because the
good Queen Of England was born on that
day, and on that account the celebration
should be postponed. How silly. We
think the world is better that such good
women have been born.

Awell devised attampt to escape from
the Deer Lodge penitentiary was discov-
cred and frustrated in time on Sunday,
18th inst. A few hours delay in the
search would have resulted in the escape
ofat least six prisoners, as follows: Pat
Gray, J. II. Crane, Mike Connolly, W. H.
Childs, George Jessrang and Chas. Hay.
They were promptly put in irons, and no
doubt proper efforts will be made to
secure the prison from any further dam
ger. Most of the prisoners were in for
long terms. Governor Crosby has, very
wisely, we think, refused to extend
executive clemency and they have be-
come desperate. Hereafter they have
always had hope, and were repeatedly
burdening the people with petitions for
release, which in many cases were sue
cessful. We think when once committed
the reasons for turning them loose upon
the community, must be SO manifestly
Just as to warrant executive interference.

delivered by that gentleman. That por-
ton Of it abiding to Fitz John Porter, as
one of the bravest and most patriotic

who was made the scapegoat for the dis

heartily applauded. We feel proud that

The assessors of the different counties
through which the Northern Pacific rail-
road runs are now worrying their brains
over Just what kind of assessment to
make. While the charter granted by the
government provides with excessive lib
crafty, that very much Of their property
is exempt, there is still great deal of it
which comes under the operation of our
revenue laws. In view of these facts we
give it as our judgment that it would be
wise and prudent to levy tax SO mani

tons can be raised by the railroad, and
litigation for its collection prevented.

itself in suits, which will probably cost

We think we should be liberal towards
this corporation, as it has added SO much
to our wealth by its advent. 1t will not
be long before all the good lands now
owned by them will be sold to other par

An Important Decision.

A telegram to the Pioneer Press says
that the secretary of the interior has de-
livered an opinion upon the question
submitted by the commissioner of the
general land Office regarding the property
of Withdrawing from entry and settle
ment the old sections of land within the
indemnity limits of the Northern Pacific
railroad. The commissioner was of the
opinion that recent decisions by the sec
rotary had tended to reverse the usual
practice of the land Office in such cases,
namely to withdraw lands comprised
within the granted and indemnity limits
upon filing map of the definite location.
In his decision the secretary denies this
construction as to be placed upon former
decisions, and holds the matter open for
the consideration of the department.
After quoting the granting of the acts of
1864 and 1870, the secretary calls atten-
ton to the fact, that they do not provide
either specifically or generally for the
executive withdrawal of the land within
either the granted or indemnity limits.
The power ofthe department to withdraw
granted lands without such direction is
beyond question, says the secretary,
and by puriety Of reasoning the authority
to withdraw indemnity lands must follow
and the fact that such authority has re-
peatedly been exercised, the company
claims that the acts operate as absolute
exclusion of the right of entry in both
granted and indemnity limits from the
moment of fixing the route of definite
location. This is undoubtedly true of
granted lands. But to indemnity lands
the law gives no title, but a right to &C
quire title by selection, based on defici-
ency in granted lands. The acts place
the whole subject under the direction Of
the secretary of the interior, and it must
be held that power resides in the depart
ment to adjudge when, in what manner
and to what extent the statute requires
the exercise of such control and direction
so as to give the public, as well as the
particular grantee, all the rights and
privileges granted by law.

tional particulars of the hideous Fullford
tragedy, which excites Southwest Georgia,
state that the $3.50 paid by Fullford to Harry
Bradley aud Reuben Robertson for their SER
vices was taken from the murdered woman E
effects, and was earned by her with her
needle during the time s was confined to
her bed. 1t is also learned that the lynehed
murderers carried water bucketaud gourd
to the creek where they sunk the body; set
the bucket on TIE bank, threw the 0ourd
into the creek and suspended the dead
woman's bonnet from a limb near the
bucket, in order to create the impression
that she had committed suicide.
When Fullford was shown the blood
stained lody of his murdered wife, as it lay
in the creek, he attempted faint exhibition
of grief, and said he would not have had
1t happened for $500. 1t is now rumored
that the father OF Fullford is party to the
crime. If the rumor deyelopes into truth
he will undouDtly share the fate of his son
and Bradley.
Sukie Robertson, colored woman, who
was also arrested on suspicion of being a
party to the crime, rem aims in Jail with Rob-

the prisoners that their lynching at any
