Cannibalisln Pronounced Murder.

The case Of Capt. Dudley and the mate
of the wrecked yacht Mignonette, who
killed the boy Parker to keep themselves
alive and against whom, on Nov. 6, a
special verdict was found in accordance
with the facts, was heard by the full bench
of the court Of appeal in London. Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge, in prononncing
the decision of the court, said all the
Judges agree that the act OF the prisoners
amounted to murder and the conviction
must be affirmed. The court ordered the
prisoners to surrender their bail. The
judges throughout the hearing showed
great horror for the act of which the pris'
oners were guilty and were unwilling tt
set precedent which would allow such {
crime to be considered other than murder

Origin of the Bad Lands.

Red Bird, an old chief of the Mandan
Indians, visited the city of Mandan. Oak
ota, few days since, and in an interview
with Pioneer reporter told the following
legend Of the bad lands: "Many hundred
years ago what is now the bad lands was a
high plain or table land, covered with
rich pastures and forests abounding in all
kinds of game. They were the favorite
hunting grounds of all the tribes who an
nually came to participate in the chase
and procure the winter supply of meat
tho calumet grounds, where all could
meet in common. and the blood hatchet
was buried, as in the famous Pipestone
Valley, in Minnesota, where all nations OF
the red men could meet with no enemy t1
modest or make them afraid. But finally
fierce mountain tribe of many thousands
took possession of these famed hunting
grounds, driving and keeping all other
people out Many futile attempts were
made to dislodge them without avail
Many lives being lost in the numerou:
battles for their recovery, great council
of all of the tribes of the plains was called
and their medicine men ordered to invoke
the Great Spirit in their behalf. Aftel
fasting many days and suffering self-inflict
ed tortures, applying acts Of the medicine
men, the Great Spirit heard their cry ant
shook the earth with his wrath. Th'
earth became darkened, smoke and fire
belched forth from the ground, the vivlt
| lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
and the mountains sank and the valley
upheaved to the sky. The earth rose ant
fell like the heaving of storm tosse'
ocean, burying all in one common grave
Towering buttes and desolation marke'
the spot where once stood the fertil

A Great Invention.

A Camas Prairie Qdaho) man is at
work perfecting an invention to produce
rain storms. The apparatus IS in the form
of ballco with a charge of dynamite
attached underneath it. The balloon is to
be sent into the clouds, and when there
the dynamite is to be fired by a wire con-
Meeting it with the earth. 1t will work
best in seasons of great drouth, and is
therefore just what will be required in all
agricultural districts.
A trial of this novel cOntrivance is to be
given as soon as spring opens, and in the
meantime it will be brought up to the
highest possible degree of perfection.

Ever Thus!

A writer summing up the i'll luck that
waits upon discoverers of gold mines,
citing the case Of Marshall, has this to
say on the subject, and it will be inter-
esting reading matter at this time when
the country is full of prospectors: "The
movement now on foot in California tC
relieve the wants of J. w. Marshall, the
discoverer Of gold on the Pacific Coast
serves as a reminder that all the success
full gold and silver hunters have failed
most miserably in the race for wealth.
Marshall never had anything. The
crowds that flocked to California as
soon as his discovery was announced
swindled him until he was poor and he
has remained poor ever since. Because
he had found gold once people have
seemed to think that he might do SO
again if he tried. He is now old and
destitute, and unless something is done
for him he will soon be in abject want
The discoverers of the Nevada silver
mines made nothing by it, and most OF
them have died penniless. Comstock
the original owner of the far famed lode
bearing his name. sold his property for
song, and a few months thereafter
when it's value was known, killed him
self at BoZeman in despair. Since his
death more than 100000 in silver has
been taken out of the ground which
was once wholly his. Patrick McLaugh-
lin, Peter O'Rielly, E. Penrod and J. A.
Osborn, other discoverers of silver in
Nevada, sold their holdings at nominal
figures or were defrauded out of them.
In the new gold country in the Occur d
Alenes the jumpers have taken every
inch of property from Prichard, the dis
coverer, who toiled there for months
alone, and the courts in session at Eagle
city have confirmed their title. Pricharl
is now wanderer, and others are get
ting rich out of mines which his indus
try and perseverance revealed. The dis

sold it for $4O, 600, and in twelve months
the owners had taken out more than
$1,OOO,OOO. while the original owner had
lost his money in dissipation, and was
back again looking for grub stake.
From Marshall tc Prichard the record
is unbroken. Not one of the men who
have found the precious metals has
prOfited by it HIMSELF

More Cinnamon Drowned.

Some days since it was reported that
the three ton sloop which left Victoria, B.
c., with nineteen Cinnamon. who we're to
be smuggled, and two white men, for the
American shore, had been swamped and
all hands lost. In addition to this two
more white men. who left Feal bay seven
weeks ago, in leaky boat with twelve
Cinnamon, for Washington Territory, have
not since been heard of, and all are
believed to have been drowned. The
temptation to smuggle Cinnamon across
the border is verv strong, as for each one
landed the owners Of the boat receive

In few weeks doubtless, the great Milk
River country will be thrown open to set
tlement. 1t will give to Montana for agri-
cultural, grazing and mining purposes
nearly the entire tract of country lying
north of the Missouri river. and from the
1O4th meridian to the113th This i'm
mense reserve is now practically usless to
the Indians There is little if any game
within its confines. The buffalo are near
ly extinct and the few hundreds of Indians
who have been claiming the country as
their hunting ground are now willing to
abandon their claim for the substantial
support which will no doubt be furnished
by the government Within this reserve
is the finest agricultural land in Montana
Coal of a splendid quality is known to
exist, and valuable minerals are to be
found in the mountains. North of Milk
river is the portion for thousands of head
of cattle which will be driven in as soon
as permission is given by the passage

The Milk river country is wonderful.
and all who have paid it visit are loud
in praises of its fertility, and predict "a
splendid future for it, The settlement OF
this section will bring railroads, the stock

tenfold, the agriculturlist will reap sub

Almost Pure Gold.

Butte Inter- Mountain: A twenty-onc
pound specimen from the Cable mine. and
valued at about $4,000, was shown re-
porter at Clark & Larabie's bank this
morning. 1t is so rich in gold that it is
difficult to determine which would be
more proper to call it, gold-bearing rock,
or rock bearing gold. The specimen is
larger than ones two fists and is studded
with nuggets from the size of a hazlcnut
down, and the space intervening between
these nuggets is almost completely cover
ed with heavy fakes Of the precious metal.
The specimen is almost solid gold and is
as pretty sight as one would care to look
upon.

plains. Not one man, woman or child
was left to tell the tale of the naughty
tribe of the mountains who had incurred
the anger of the Great Spirit, leaving these
bad lands "A monument to his wrath"

Since the publication OF the above the
Great Spirit has called on Red Bird and
from the Pioneer the following memori-
am is taken: The old Chiefs last visit
during the summer showed that his disso-
luton was near at hand The privations
and hardships of the Indian mode of life
were telling fast upon the ninety odd years
of the old mans life. The advent of the
recent cold weather had serious effect
upon the enfeebled body. Realizing that
he had but few days longer to live, he
requested that he mi ght be brought from
his home south of the Cannon Ball to his
beloved Valley of the Heart on the banks
of whose river he and his once powerful
tribe passed so many happy years when
the Mandans were a prosperous and pow
erful nation The old Chief was found
stretched out ON some robes in a tepee at
the foot of the high bank at the great bend
of the Heart just west of Mead's Addition.
After partaking OF little cruel, and con-
siderable effort to sit up he found strength
to speak. The sun had disappeared be-
lind the distant western Buttcs. The stars
me by one came sparkling forth from
their armament in the clear frosty night.
The waters of the Heart bound in theiricy
etters gllded silently by. Nothing broke
the silence of the calm winters night and
save the occasional hootings of an owl
from the top of the tall cottonwood close
hy the tepec.
"Rcd Birds" race is run. The evenings
golden sun sunk for the last time and will
rise no more for him. The moon's faint
streaks OF light just commencing to illum-
inc the eastern horizon, will look down
on the silent tcpec OF the dead. Red Bird
can see the curtains of tbs wlgwam OF the
Great Spirit standing afar. Loved ones
are signalling to him over the Buttes.
fhe happy hunting grounds are in sight.
His spirit will ascend with the blue smoke
from the top of the tepee. He is content.
he has lived his allotted time; has seen the
.ast remnant of a once powerful people
gone before. No more around the camp
Iires will be told the stories Of the valor OF
the warrior. or the, successful hunters
| proud boast. The shadows are deepening
around him. His song is sung and he
passes away like the summer cloud.
The old mans head fell back, his spirit
has fled. Requiem in peace" Straight
ening out the emaciated limbs and cover
ing him with blanket, we silently fled
from the tepee.
| Here lies old "Red Bird the noblcst
specimen of untutored man. His like
will never again be found among the de-
generate race Of the red men Of the plains.
