Botkin's Friends and Foes.

The following is a Washington special
Of the 18th to the Pioneer Press:
The Wisconsin senators are interest
ing themselves in Marshal Bctkin's be-
half, and will, one or both, call on the
president to express their good opinion
of him and ask a suspension OF judg-
ment until the charges made against
him can be properly met Botkln's
original appointment was made in 1878,
and he had large acquaintance in
Montana when Crosby was appointed
governor. In some way the two gen
tlemen did not take kindly to each 9th
er, and Governor Crosby is said to have
brought the old feud with him to Wash
| ington. Tt is said, however, at the de-
| partment Of justice that the charges
| made by Gov Crosby are not such as a
| mere personal grudge could trump up.
| Botkin is accused of serious abuses in
connection with the management of the
Deer Lodge penitentiary, the chief OF
which is the practice of taking prisoners
out of confinement on parole. When
| the marshal's brother had delirium tre-
mems, doctor who was in prison fol
abortion was allowed to go six miles
from Deer Lodge and nurse the sick
| man until he recovered. Senator Nc
| MILAN and A. III. Wilder of st. Pau
have filed letters with the attorney gen
eral confirming the charges made by
Gov. Crosby and other gentlemen
whose names are not given out, that
charges Botkin with habitualsdrunken

Sheep N otes.

Col. Leaning sold to Frank Balm
about 800 head of sheep last week The
price, we learn, was $3.87Ig.
Chas Gibson has purchased l 800 sheep
now ranging on Duck creek, in the Ju-
dith. Notwithstanding the severe
weather the sheep on the Belt creek
range are looking finely and the hay
stacks remain untouched.
The sale of sheep by Col. Leaning to
Frank Balm, we are informed, is.a reprt-
sentative sale, and is an indication OF
what acclimated Montana sheep are
worth. The few bands of pilgrim sheep
on the ranges Of course will bring low
er figure, but the prices of A.ontanas are
not materially affected. This is good
indication, showing, as it does, that all
reports of low prices for sheep are un-
founded. There are some men who
have in the past let the expenses eat up
the profits, and as a consequence they
believe there is no money in 1T; but We
are assured by parties who ought to
know that prices for acclimated ami
mails will advance instead Of decline.

and if he was unable to do this to call
upon the military for assistance. 1t is
very easy to find out when returning
war parties come in and few arrests
and convictions for long terms would
have great moral effect. The best way
would be to have company Of cavalry
stationed at the agency ofthe Grows and
another at the Piegan agency. This
would have the effect of keeping the
Indians within bounds. Something
must be done and that at once, for the
inoffensive settler will not long bear
with it and it is only question Of time
when they will take the law in their
own hands unless something is done by
the government to keep the Indians on
their reservations.

After Howgate.

CHICAGO, December 18.-The Inter
Oceans Omaha special says: Two offl'
GERS of the United States secret service
are here in search of Capt. HoWgate,
the defaulter, late of the signal service.
He has friends at Fort Omaha, ana tney
hope to find him there. Several persons
who know Howgate say they saw him
in Nebraska City three weeks ago.
Nellie Burrell, his alleged mistress, is in
Dewitt, Neb., and the theory is that he
is not far from there. The officers be-
lieve that be is in one of the Missouri
river towns and that his funds are about
exhausted, and it is only question OF
short time when he will surrender.

Louis RieI and Northwest Affairs.

Mr.. Fred. White, comptroller OF
mounted police, in an interview at o.
tawa respecting the Northwest, said
that matter are moving along splendidly
despite the sensational reports that have
been put in circulation to the contrary.
With regard to the congregating OF a
large body of police at Prince Albert, he
saws that this was done to move the men
about, and not from any anticipation
of trouble in that part of the country.
The policy of the government, he says,
has always been to keep the men on the
move that they may obtain a more
thorough knowledge Of the country.
RieI is at present living at the forks OF
the Saskatchewan, going about from
house to house among his half-breed
friends many of them, including sew
eral members of his provisional govern
ment at the time of the rebellion, having
removed to that locality from Fort
Garry after the trouble in 1870. Al
though he spent some time in Prince
Albert, Captain White was unable to
discover any cause for apprehending
trouble from RieI or his followers. The
Indians, he says. are all quiet, and IN
fact, give the mounted police much less
trouble than the white outlaws who live
by horse stealing and Whiskey peddling.
The report that the strength of the
mounted police is to be rased from 5lO to
500 is without authority. He, however,
believes that the force should be increas-
ed, as the duties of the police are greater
than can Satisfactorily carried out by
the present limited number OF men.
Nothing, however, could be done until
parliament meets, and he was not pre-
pared to say what recommendation the

superintendent-gen of Indian affairs
would make to the house in regard to
strengthening the force. When he
arrived at Regina he was surprised to
read in the Fort Macleod Gazette of the
massacre of Major Crozier and the shoot
ing of RieI An effort will at once be
made to discover the originator of the
report, which Captain White believes he
can trace to the right party. The dis
appearance of the buffalo, he says, has
proved of great assistance to induce the
Indians of the Northwest to settle on
their reserves. While the chase lasted,
it was impossible to prevent them from
roaming all over the country, and al
though the extinction of the buffalo has
deprived them of what at one time APP
peared necessary to their existence, he
believes that it will greatly assist the
government in bringing them to a state
of civilization Winnipeg Sun.

cordially received by the people, who
were enthusiastic over the prospect of
having at last civil government. The
mining interest, he says, is of the high
est Importance, and he predicts that
within the next decade the production
of precious metals in that district will
be an important factor in the finances
