audience at the joint benefit of Miss

and it may be truthfully said that a

The popular beneficiares were re-

The Way to Make Indian Troubles

Ogden Pilot, 3Oth: Considerable
excitement prevails at Ross Fork
Agency over the killing of an In
dian. It appears that early in the
week, q rancher, living on Dry
Creek. about fifty miles north of
Eagle Rock, missed horse, and on
making a search, found it near
where an Indian was camped. Be
lieving that the Indian had stolen
the animal, the rancher shot and
killed the fellow. Upon Indian
Agent Cook hearing of the murder,
he atonce began an Investigation and
came to the conclusion that the MUIR
der was not only unjustifable, but was.
particularly heinous, as the Indian
had not stolen the horse. Accord
ingly he complained, and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Crawford of Idaho was
summoned to look into the matter
and cause IN arrest. The Indians
are greatly incensed over the affair,
and many white men in the vicinity
also upbraid the reckless rancher for
his wantOn:. and malicious murder of
the Indian, who is not generally be-
lieved to have done any wrong. It
is probable that an arrest will be.
made ut once on the return of Attor-
ney Crawford, and the matter will
come up for hearing in the District
Court.
