Captain Wm..CIarke's Indian Son.

An aged Indian who was in town yes-
terday was an object of no little interest
TO those who were in any way familiar
with his history. His name is Clarke
and he is son Of the noted northwest
ern explorer. Captain William Clarke
(of the Lewis and Clarke expedition by
a Nez Perez woman. In the fall of 1904
Captain Clarke with his men tried to
cross the Lolo Fork, but failed on &C.
count Of the high water. They then
turned back and passed the winter with
the Nez Perce Indians, Captain Clark e
taking an Indian wife, whom he left be-
hind when he moved on in the spring.
The subject Of this sketch was the result
of the union. While young his hair
was bright red, which was the color of
Captain Clarke's. Captain Clarke ac-
knowledged him as his son, and it is
understood that before dying he be-
queathed him some $4,000, which am
ount was paid to him through the agen-
cy OF the government at various times
in blankets, food, etc. The Indian son
of the distinguished explorer is below
the medium height of Indians, and is
now seventy-nine years old. His once
auburn locks are white; but his form is
still erect, his four score years not SEEM
ing to weigh upon him as they would
upon white man of that age. He be-
lieves that he is good for twenty years

Good News for Ne1hart.

Mr.. B. c. Kingsbury, with three first
class miners from Butte, arrived in the
city on Fridays coach and in few
days will leave for Neihart to begin
operations on the Queen of the Hills,
recently bonded by Mr.. Kingsbury An
assayer and mining expert, with COM
plete assaying outfit, will be along in a
day Or two and accompany them to the
camp. Mr.. Patrick Clark, of Butte,
one of yesterdays arrivals, a thorough
miner of large experience, will be fore
man of the work, and under his direc-
ton it is certain to go just about right
Nj. Kingsbury will put on force Of
several men on the mine and push the
work Of development as rapidly as pos
sible. He expects to be in the camp
during the season - look after the in
terests of his compaGy in the Montana
district, which in his opinion is in time
to be rival of the Summit valley dis
trict.

Wholesale Poisoning.

Deputy Sheriff Steele telegraphed in
from Fort Shaw yesterday that two men
had been poisoned up Oh the South
Ferk-it was supposed to be by strych-
nine. No names or particulars were
given. en.-Independent
Information was brought to town on
Sunday from the Teton that four men
on the upper Marias, cow boys in the
employ of Con Kohrs, it is said. had
been poisoned by the cook, and that three
were dead, and another was not expect-
ed to live. No additional particulars.
It is probable that the Independent
item refers to this same occurrence, and
that it happened on the South Fork of
Sun river instead of on the Marias, as
the former is the headquarters for Mr..
Kohrs' cattle interests.

Sad Death OF Sol. Abbott's Son.

Word was brought to tow,n Sunday to
the effect that the seven-year-old son of
Sol. Abbott, of the Marias, was killed
one day last week under circumstances
peculiarly distressing. Mr.. Abbott was
engaged in castrating horse. and his
little boy was standing close by him,
when by kick from the animal the
knife ia the fathers hand was sent al
most through the body of the boy,
inf1icting fatal wound. Only the
general particulars of the affair have
yet been received here, this state
ment being as told by l.. 5. Tranum,
of the Teton. He was an only son
and the pride and joy of his father,
who no doubt feels deeply the loss,
and more particularly under such cir
cumstances Mr. Abbott has the SYM
pathy of his many friends at Fort
Benton.
LATER.-Since the above was put in
type the report has been fully confirm
ed. Instead of the knife being in the
fathers hand it was held by the boy
himself when he received the mortal
wound. The knife pierced his heart
and death resulted instantly.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars Raised.

J.B. Wilson, of this city-a member
of the Helena committee appointed to
secure subscription to the stock OF the
Helena & Benton. railroad-has secured
in the last two days, working alone,
subscriptions amounting to nearly $780,
600. With the active cooperation OF the
other members Of the committee (who
are absent) the remainder of Helena's
and Lewis and Clarke county's proper
ton of the amount required ought to be
easily secured, and then it need be but
q short time until the route would be
selected, the survey made, and the work
of grading commenced.
It is intended (as declared by those
who inaugurated the movement that
the road shall be owned, built and man.
aged by home company. and to this
end it is necessary that the subscrip-
tions to the stock shall be general in the
communities which, being along the

A Successful Water Wheel.

Charles Rowe and Herman Brink
man came in Saturday from the formers
ranch down the Missouri, having just
completed water wheel, and one that
works like charm. The wheel was
engineered and constructed by Mr..
Brinkman and does credit to his me-
chanical skill It is Is feet wide, Is feet
high and raises the water 20 feet. The
wheel makes four revolutions minute
and as it has Is buckets that lift 70 ga,-
Ions of water each it has capacity of
over 1900 gallons minute-an ample
supply of water to irrigate Mr.: RoMe.s
extensive ranch. THE wheel runs as
nicely as clock work and is SO firmly
built that it will stand almost any
racket the Missouri can give it. OF
course it can be lifted out of and put
into the water whenever desired. An
institution of this kind is just as good
as an expensive irrigating ditch, and
the success attained by Mr.. Rowe is
likely to lead to many other expert
ments of the same kind on the Mis-
and Teton rivers, where it is difficult to
take out the water by means of bitches.

A Better Road Wanted.

Steve Eneau started out day or two
ago with a load of building material for
Tom Morgan, OF Stanford, and in going
up the grade opposite town his wagon
came near tumbling over the bank. In
attempting to keep the wagon from go
ing over he got his foot badly hurt, and
could not proceed to make the trip.
Although a good deal of work has been
done on the grade this summer it is
still in a bad condition-almosti impass-
able for teams. AS it seems useless to
put further wotk on this road, the COM
missioners ought to have the road up
the coulee improved, and the Shonkin
bridged at the residence of M. Morrow,
sen. This would be in the nature of
permanent work, while all money spent
on the grade is absolutely wasted. This
road ought to be built at once, so that
teams coming from Arrow creek, Wolf
creek, the Judith and other sections can
get into the city without danger of be-
ing tumbled down high grade.

The Railroad Project.

We see that Helena is showing COM
mendable energy in the matter Of MAX
ing the much talked of Helena & Fort
Benton railroad success The Inde-
pendent informs us that Mr.. Wilson,
one of the members of the committee
appointed to solicit stock subscriptions,
secured nearly 100000 in two days
canvassing. and without making any
special effort. This shows pretty con-
clusively that Helena people want the
road and are willing to put up for it.
Fort Benton should not lag hehind in
the good work Our citizens should
make an effort at once to come to
an understanding with Helena and join
with them in the enterprise. If sutti-
cient subscription is secured to start the
enterprise and insure its speedy COM
pletion the "home company plan is
good one. A road thus built and con-
trolled would be better for every town it
touches than one built by or in the in
terest of the Northern Pacific. The
citizens of Fort Benton should give the
matter immediate attention and see if,
under certain conditions. they cannot
unite with Helena in this work.

The Government Grain Contracts.

It IS a gratifying fact that the grain
contracts for Fort Assinaboine Fort
Maginnis and Fort Buford have been
secured by Fort Benton parties, and
that all will be supplied with prime
Montana oats this year [. G. Baker &
Co. have the contract for Forts Assina
boine and Buford, and very probably at
Fort Maginnis. At Assinaboine 1856, 900
pounds of oats and 100000 pounds of
corn are called for, the successful bid for
the former being $2.19 per cwt. AtFort
Buford the requirements 100000 pounds
of oats, and Baker & CO. will deliver it
at 81 $50 per hundred, shipping the grain
by river from this city. This will be
the first export of oats from northern
Montana in any considerable quantity.
Fort Maginnis requires 1900, 600 pounds
of oats, and no corn. The lowest bid is
So. 25, and it is supposed to be that of /.
G.. Baker & Co. The bid was put in by
w. G, Conrad, and it is not known ex-
actly by the house here what it was 1t
is certain that nobody who expected to
ship oats from the States would make SO
low bid.
The total amount of oats to be thus
supplied from this section is 2436, 900
pounds, and it Will take about every
poundin the country to fill the con-
tracts, and it may be necessary to draw
upon the new crop. Thus cash mar
ket for the surplus grain is assured, and
even if the price to be paid is not large,
it will doubtless be acceptable to the
farmers.

The Sparring Match.

There was quite an attendance last
Saturday at Stockings hall to witness
the contest with gloves between James
Mcdonald and Frank Symons, and the
audience was treated to quite spirited
exhibition of the manly(?) art. -Four
rounds of three minutes each were
fought, and at the conclusion of the
same the battle was declared draw, in
asmuch as Mcdonald, who had some
what the best of the contest, had struck
three or four foul blows-tWo while his
antagonist was down and also after
time was called. Mcdonald is thirty
pounds heavier than Symons, and on that
account had decided advantage. He
foored his opponent several times while
Symons was not able to fell the other a
single time. Mcdonald got in his work
successfully by main strength and
awkwardness, but Symons displayed
the most science, and is clearly the
better boxer Several of his blows were
putin right neatly, but they were not
heavy enough to fell his big opponent.
The verdict of the referee was generally
accepted as being about right.

| from the time of its completion, and its
business will no doubt largely increase
each year, as The fine country north OF
Sun river and along the Missouri Is even
now rapidly filling up with settlers.
From this it will be seen that
it will be, q safe and profitable in
vestment for every share of stock
subscribed in the enterprise itself, aside
from the advantages aceruing to real es-
tate owners, merchants, mine owners,
business men, mechanics, stockmen, set
tiers, and in fact to every person who
lives or owns property contiguous to or
near the line of the road.
For this purpose the undersigned COM
mittees were appointed for Helena and
vicinity, Sun River and vicinity, and
Fort Benton and vicinity to interview
all parties who are expected to assist this
enterprise by subscribing to the stock of
the company. Please bear in mind that
under the law only ten per cent will be
payable at the time OF making your reg
ular subscription to the capital stock Of
the company. and not more than twen-
ty-five per cent. can be called for at any
one time, and then not oftener than once
in three months. In all probability the
assessments will be light, and made only
as the money shall be needed in the
building of the road, SO it is safe to esti-
mate that the entire subscription will
not be called Tor short OF eighteen to
tWenty-four months.
The committee are encouraged to be-
lieve that the entire sum can be easily
raised when the advantages to be de-
rived are fully understood by those in
terested. Liberal subscriptions have
already been pledged, and it should be
generally understood that to raise the
required sum it will be necessary for
each individual to subscribe as largely
as his means will permit.

Tom Morgan came in from Stanford
Friday evening. He informs us that he
is building store, hotel, stable and sa-

complete in about three weeks, when
he will al once put in a stock of goods
