RatiOnS for the Biackfeet.

Gov. Crosby has received letter from
Agent Allen, now at the B!ackfoot, Mont,
Indian agency, saving: | find here about
5000 Indians. Many have been driven
from here OH account of scarcity of food.
The accounts YOU have heard in regard
to their suffering condition have not
been exaggerated. The attending physi-
clan tells that many have died the PAST
winter, If not from actual starvation, FOR
the want Of sufficient food. Many of
them have told me that they and their
families had not mouthfal to eat for
four days, and am satisfied of the truth
fitness OF the assertion. On my arrival
on the 10th inst, found the last pound
of -four had been issued to them on the
18th, and that issue amounted to one
pound of -four, one and one-half pounds
Of beef and a few potatoes per capita, to
last one week. We got the -four | con-
tracted for while at Helena, on Saturday,
the 22nd inst, by sending teams to meet
them and help them in. The other sup
plies from Fort Benton have not arrived
yet. I hear Of them about thirty miles
from here, unable to proceed on account
of the bad condition of the roads. l shall
send teams to meet them Tomorrow. We
have now on hand 5000 pounds of -four,
six head of cattle-unfit for human food
and few hundred bushels of potatoes.
But hope to get through. Have tele-
graphed the department for permission
to purchase one hundred head Of beet

Territorial Delegates.

The National democratic executive
committee have embraced Territorial del
egates in the call for national conven-
ton, leaving to the convention to deter
mine their rights and privileges upon the
floor There are several gentlemen IN
the Yellowstone country who we under
stand would be pleased to represent the
democracy Of the Territory in the con-
vention. 1t has been suggested that as
that section will be entitled to one dele
gate and has no representation on the
Territorial central committee, the chair
men of the various county committees
from that section should indicate their
preference to the central committee, so
that it may select the proper man. 1t is
expected that the central committee will
be convened by its chairman, DIR. Mitch
ell, of Deer Lodge; at an early day.-In-

First Honey Bees in Montana.

The River Press says: S. Kennedy,
who arrived in Benton yesterday Q2th)
by private conveyance brought with him
two hives of bees, which were shipped by
express to Helena and brought thence
by wagon to this place. They came
through in good order, and during the
middle Of the day, yesterday, were buzz
zing around thehives pretty lively. Mr..
K, brought along, also, lot Of nice
honey, manufactured by these nice little
animals that have been brought to Mon
tana. So far as we can learn, these are
the first bees brought to the Territory,
and if they thrive here bee culture will
doubtless become in time one of the in
dustries of Montana. The experiment
will be watched with interest.

Tayl0rs Change Of Heart.

The deputy sheriffs of Miles City sat
around the county Jail yesterday guard
ing their prisoner. L. S. Taylor. Mr.. Ives
the prisoners attorney, had short talk
with him in the morning, but he was the
only one allowed to see him. About 4:3O
p. N. the deputies attorney, Edward
Rogers, appeared hunting for a judge, and
it was then announced that Taylor de-
sired the writ dismissed. About an hour
later Judge Brill was found, and, upon
the party reaching the court room, a
sealed letter was handed the judge. This
was from Taylor, and in it he expressed
a desire to go to Miles City with the dep
uties, and to have the writ dismissed, as
he had not asked for it. Mr.. Ives, the
prisoners attorney, stated that the re-
quest was very extraordinary. The
prisoner had known Of the writ and DUR
ing the examination for contempt had
offered no objections. He had talked to
Taylor during the morning, and 10 such
change of opinion had been announced
Testimony was taken and Taylor said he
preferred to 60 on, as he thought he
would be treated better in Miles City If
no resistance was offered. Mr. Ives sad
he thought the judge should examine the
man privately, as the cause for the re-
quest to dismiss the writ should be
known. The prisoner had been kidnap-
ped in New Mexico, the warrant was
faulty, and in his opinion the prisoner
had been bulldozed, aud by threats in
duced to change his mind.
The court examined Taylor privately
for fifteen minutes and then issued an
order returning him to the deputy sher-
ifs and dismissing the writ, saying that
the prisoner evidently deserved to GO on
to Miles City. Fifteen minutes later and
the sherifts and their man were en- route
for the Merchants hotel, glad to get away
from the Jail. The party will remain at
the Merchants until this afternoon when
they will go direct to Miles City. Gov.
Hubbard yesterday acknowledged the
receipt of the telegram from the governor
of Montana asking for his assistance in
securing the person of Taylor for the
Miles City sheriff and wired him that he
would do what he could in the interests
of justice, but that he had no jurisdiction
in the matter in point.

much comment throughout the country.

great advantage to residents.
Improvements have about stopped here
as well as at Belknap, The building

fast.

The Gallatin valley folks here are all

Tell the BOzemanites the sonw is still

That Contempt Case.

The contempt proceedings against the
Miles City deputies created quite stir
among the Montana delegates temper
arily soiourning in St. Paul. After full
hearing of the case wherein the facts
were set forth substantially as reported
in last evenings Journal, James Conley
was fined Sl0G and Frank $50. Smith was
not fined. After the boys had been duly
purged of their contempt they were
allowed to 20 ont and see the Carolina
governors at will The fires were promp-
ly paid by W. B. Jordan. Daring the
day this telegram was received by Gov
ernor Hubbard from Governor Crosby,
Montana:
Steve Taylor, arrested in Texas on my
requisition, is making an efiort-through
st. Paul parties, who were indicted with
him-to be released Deputies with
Taylor were stopped at Braincrd last
night. Can you not do something to
secure the bringing of this scoundrel to
Montana?
This is suggestion as to the true in
wardness of the affair. 1t appears that
Joe Culbcrtson was instrumental in Sc
curing the writ and accompanied the
officers and attorney Ives in serving the
papers, and kicked himself back to the
hotel because he had no gun to support
the dignity of the st. Paul court. The
deputies claim that the habeas corpus
movement lisa scheme to prevent Taylor's
being taken to Miles for fear he will
betray the secrets of his old associates to
secure his own immunity from punish
ment. On the other hand Culbertson
claims that he was only acting in the
interest of Taylor as an old friend who
had been kidnapped in Mexico and was
being held as a prisoner without war
rant of law. 1t seems to be conceded all
around that Taylor was captured in Mex
leo by cowboy named Riley, who got
the drop on him, and by main force car
ried him into Texas where requisition
paper could be served. The papers will
be subjected to judicial inspection, sup
ported by oral testimony on Monday,
when the case may be determined on its
merits. Both sides will make the best
showing possible and any fuller state
ment OF the case in this correspondence
would tend to prejudice the case. There
is some history in connection with this
case which has not yet been written.
This is only collateral issue of the case.

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. George Dickson met with narrow
escape yesterday. While at the depot
with his team unloading hay. For feal
the incoming train would frighten them
he got out to hold them, at the same time
holding on to a young colt. The train
came and the colt was SO frightened as
to become unmanageable and also fright
ened the team, causing them to run
away, throwing him to the ground. The
wagon ran over him, but was fortunately
not loaded, and although Mr. Dickson is
considerably bruised he is in no danger
and is good deal better to-day.

amount ever realized in this country for
