Those two Indians.
FLAruEAD AGENCY, April IS, 1884.

FLATuEAD AGENCY, April IS, 1884.
Hon. s. w. LanghOrae:-
DEAR SiR:-I received marked copy
of your paper dated the 14th inst, which
gives an account ofthe cruel murder of two
unoffending Indians, who were on their
way home to this agency from Bozeman,
| and l trust the good citizens of your town
and the officials of your county will use
every effort to trace up and bring to JUS
tice the perpetrator of this foul and UNI
provoked murder-fcr such it seems to
be-
In this connection wish TO give you
statement of some facts with regard to
| some six or seven lodges of Bitter Root
Flatheads, who have been camped in the
vicinity of Bozeman, which may be of
use in the investigation of this matter.
The Indians, in question, left Bitter
Root valley, where they reside, last fall,
and are portion Of Charlo's Band, which
refuses to remove to this reservation.
Their object in going to Bozeman was to
spend the winter in hunting in the
mountains in that locality. Upon learn
ing of my return from Washington with
their chief, and that l was to hold
council at Bitter Root under instructions
from the honorable Secretary of the In
terror with the view of gaming consent
to removal of these Indians, eight in
number, determined upon attending the
council.
A few days previous to this determine
ton. two Flatheads; also Charles Band,
arrived in their camp with number of
stolen horses. The thieves turned these
horses among the Indian ponies of the
camp and took the train for Missoula,
with the eight Indians referred to, who
left at the camp one old, crippled Indian,
with the squaws and children composing
their families
In their absence a party of white men
arrived and finding the stolen horses
among those of the Indians, drove off
the whole band, including the Indian
ponies.
The two thieves arrived in the Bitter
Root valley and as l am informed re-
manned there, and can there be found,
while the eight men belonging to the
camp mar Bozeman returned thither.
Meantime Frank Eneas, the half.breed,
and the Flathead who were so cruelty
murdered, as related in your paper, and
who, with three other Indians, some time
since. left this place to visit the Crows,
On their way back here, through Boze
man, were arrested, OH suspicion of their
being the thieves.
After an incarceration of some days in
Jail, it is related here by Indians, the
three last mentioned (whom l should
have mentioned were also imprisoned)
We're discharged and returned home,
while the authorities kept Frank Eneas.
who spoke English we'll, to interpret,
should the thieves be caught, and with
him companion-the other man since
murdered.
1t appears they also were soon allowed
to depart and met their death at the
hands of one or more murderers, while
on their way to this reservation.
Will you be kind enough to let me
know by letter what disposition was made
of the thirty ponies these Indians were
driving when murdered, and any other
facts in connection with this crime which
you may be able to gather.
Your obedient Servant,
PETER Roman,
United States Indian Agent.

Sale Of EmIgrant Mlnining property.

Yesterday c. H. Sowl, G. J. Batchel-

agent, A. H. Mckenzie, completed the
sale of the Little Mack, Anna Jane, and
Tiger claims in Emigrant Gulch district
to Crawford Livingston, Of St. Paul, for
the sum of $4,000. The three claims
are in the upper Emigrant district, seven
miles from Chico. They are all on the
same lode, as is also the Gold Leaf, sold
last winter by Mr.. Sowl to A. NJ. Hotter,
of Helena, for 5000. The ore is rich,
free-millins, gold-bearing quarts, and the
property has long been regarded as a
very valuable one. Negotiations for the
purchase by other parties had been in
progress for some time before Mr.. Liv-
ingston stepped in and promptly conclu-
ded bargain. He intends to begin the
work of development almost Immediate
ly, and for that purpose will probably
consolidate his interests with those Of A.
