Billings Herald, March 8: On Sun
day last q party Of Crow Indians I'M
der the leadership Of one Of the
agency employees, in the absence of
the miners, burned down the cabins
erected by W J. Hamilton, J. Hub
bell, J. Anderson and II. Mcdonald,
at the head OF saltwater creek, OF
their mining claims at that point.
The parties were absent purchasing
supplies and the indians took adj
vantage of the occasion to destroy
their property. The mines where
these prospectors have located are
believed to be the richest in eastern
Montana, and are on good authority
supposed to he in that portion Of the
Grow reservation which Was segre~
gated in 1882. Those who are at ali
interested in the matter are very
forcible in their expressions of indig-
nation at the action OF the Indians
The mines are undoubtedly exceed
ingly rich, and this trouble may re-
tard their development considerably.
