Indian Racket.

Henry Linenkohl, who arrived from
the Marias Thursday evening, brings q
story, with Nose Solomon as authority,
which weuld indicate that the murder
ers Of Bill Jones have made their escape
north, and are now pretty safe on the
other side of the line.
A few lodges of Piegans are camped at
Black coulee, and party of them that
came down to the crossing told Nose
that last Sunday three bloods crossed the
river at Three Islands and came to their
camp, but did not stop to enjoy the hos
pitalties of the same, as they were in a
hurry to move on. They intimated that
they got chair" on the trip, but gave no
particulars. Evidently they were the
identical red devils who killed Jones,
and the Indians at Black coulee express
a willingness to accompany a party
north and point them out
This information was impaired to
Sheriff McDevitt Thursday night, and
yesterday he and Deputy Healy pre-
pared to follow, but when they came to
consider that the Indians had five days
the start, they did not go any farther
than the camp on the Teton.
A telegram has been sent to the Crow
agency for an Interpreter, and member
of the tribe, who will arrive in two or
three days, to identify the dead horses
at Arrow creek and those taken from
the Indians now in jail, by which it can
be learned whether or not the prisoners
were members Of a war party. It is not
unlikely that some of those captured
will give the whole affair away before

Lieut.. Anderson, with six men of
company c., 18th infantry, and five In
dian scouts, started Sunday morning,
the I'd inst, for Belknap, to intercept
some Indians who were reported to
have killed white man. One Of the
party, Private Kenny, company O., lost
his horse and gun by an accident which
happened while crossing a ridge be-
tween Box Elder and Clear creeks. The
horse slipped, rolled down the bank and
broke through two layers of ice into
Milk river, breaking its neck.
Lieut.. Hoppin, Sergt. Perkins, and
three men Of troop c.. Cd cavalry, left
the post with pack mules the same day
far the Bear Paw mountains, to break
up whisky trading party, who were
trading with the Indians and half
breeds. But they were unsuccessful, as
the party had left the place before they
got there.
Sergt Perkins reports that the snow
is very deep in the mountains in some
places, and travelling is impossible with
out the aid of snow-shoes.

The Coming Railroad.

The Livingston Enterprise comments
as follows on an article that appeared in
the RIVER PRESS a few days ago, which
suggested the possibility of branch of
the Northern Pacific from Livingston,
but argued that Helella's capital and
enterprise would be certain to capture
the prize. The Enterprise comedies the
force of this argument and despairs of
Livingston securing the branch:
Referring to the above we have reason
to believe that it is correct so far as can
be known. While Vice President Oakes
was in Helena a few days ago be held
lengthy interviews with certain Helena
capitalists, the object of which was un-
derstoOd to be the formation of COM
pany to build branch of the Northern
Pacific to Fort Benton, and which
should have the endorsement and cor
dial encouragement of the Northern
Pacific, if not it's material aid. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that such a road
built by Helena capital will be located
with chief view to the furtherance Of
Helena interests-Will have Helena for
its point Of departure. We firmly be-
lieve that had the Northern Pacific TAX
en- its own time and money to build the
Benton branch, it would have chosen
the most practicable and Immediately
profitable route-that from Livingston
But the Northern Pacific has no money
to devote to the building of branches
The Wickes branch was built by private
The Bull mountain road
and the Benton road will be built in the
same way. Our citizens have no capital
to devote to the latter undertaking.
Helena capital is counted by millions
and it's owners have enterprise co-exten-
sive with their wealth. This may seem
like jeremiad. But we can only bow
grimly to the inevitable and acknowl-
edge that Helena is entitled to all she
buys in open Market even though the
price was much beyond our reach. But
a railroad will yet traverse the natural
route lying between Livingston and
Benton. If not the n orthern Pacific it
remains for the Union Pacific to seize
the opportunity and enter a region that
possesses railroad resources equal to no
route of equal length in the northwest.
And if the Union Pacific branch is ex-
tended to their recent coal purchases in
his vicinity we may be confident that
t will be pushed onward toward the
Missouri

A Gigantic Swind1e.

The following from the Independent
will be of interest to many people here
abOuts:
NJ. A. Lesson left for Chicago last
night. His visit to Montana was for the
purpose of ascertaining what had be-
come Of his former partners in the Mon
tana history. Mr.. Leeson stated to our
reporter yesterday that he had every
reason to believe that the project of pub
fishing the book had been abandoned,
and that those who had paid money in
advance upon the work would never re-
ceive any return for it.
These slick rascals have been in the
territory nearly two years working their
racket, and have carried away good
many thousand dollars of Montana
money. The enterprise seemed to be a
legitimate one-barring the ''pay in ad
vance" part, which ought to have put
people on their guard. The bill seems
to be a true one, as no denial of the
above has been made, although it ap-
peared in print several days ago.

Benton the finest graded school build
ing in the territory. The estimated cost
in the states is $2O,OOO, but here, OF
course, it will cost a great deal more, as
material and -4atbor are higher. >Fhe
board already has rhr-brick~ and some
other material, which the successful bid
der will be required to accept at cost.
In addition to this they have funds to
the amount of $4,000, SO that the new
structure of which Fort Benton can
we'll be proud, will be completed with
out imposing any additional tax upon

When work is commenced on the new
school house and resumed on the new
court house-not to say anything of
other enterprises, every mechanic in
town can have employment, with good
results all round. Supplement this with
the opening of navigation on the Big
Muddy, and the commencement of the
Helena & Benton railroad-and we will
all wake up one of these mornings to
find the river metropolis in the throes
of a mighty boom.

4 Saturday week a goodly portion of the
capitalists and business men of Helena
met in the city council chamber with
tview to considering the question OF fur
nishing aid to railroad from Helena tc
Fort Benton. Judge Jockey was~called
to the chair, and E. ID. Edgerton, Esq,
elected secretary A letter from Col. V
Bausenwein was read by the secretary
setting forth the feasibility of such an
enterprise, and the probable cost of con-
struction of broad-guage road to Ben
ton, which was estimated at between
two and three million dollars
HELENA, February 25, 1884.
To oil aOh0n2 1t may concern, especially
to the merchants ana business men C1
Helena and Benton.
Having been informed of the desire OF
the people of Helena and Fort Benton
to have these two points connected by a
railroad, I have endeavored to make
some Investigations, and have based cal
cuiations upon them, with the view to
promote said object.
The Northern Pacific railroad engln-
eers made some time ago a preliminary
survey from Helena to Benton, but this
line is entirely impracticable ana too
expensive.
By comforting with many persons ac-
quainted with the country between Hell
ena and Benton, / became convinced
that q good deal better and less expen-
sive line can be obtained.
I understand that some time ago a
company, with Mr.. Hauser as president,
had been formed at Helena, and char
ter obtained for the purpose OF building
this Benton branch.
/ made proposition to Mr.. Hauser TO
build this line for his company. Mr.
Hauser referred the matter to VICE
President Oakes, who declined any ana
all assistance on the part of the North
ern Pacific in the matter, declaring that
the Northern Pacific was not in the con-
dition to do anything at present towards
any branches.
/ therefore present to those gentlemen
of Helena and Benton, who are anxious
for a rail connection between the two
points, my proposition, to wit:
First.-To organize a home company
for the purpose of building standard
gauge railroad form Helena to Benton,
under the laws Of Montana, and by fl
ING the articles of incorporation with
the secretary of the territory, acquire
charter therefor.
Second.-To survey and stake out the
most practical and feasible route for
such railroad from Helena to Benton,
and to have map Of such survey filed
as required by law.
Third To make contract with the
Northern Pacific railroad for special
rates for transportation of supplies and
material required in the construction OF
said railroad
Fourth. To subscribe and raise sufii-
