Marks of Hard Struggle With The
 Half-Breed Assassin.
 WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 12.-Yesterday morning the remains of Walter Philan, the victim of the Ontario murder, were brought to his parents house in this city and this morning the funeral was largely attended. The deceased was thirty-ons yerrs of age and was, perhaps, more generally known than any young man in town. He frequently sang in church concerts and entertainments and was head singer in St. Joseph's church. The body was well preserved, but one evi- dence of severe struggle that ensued be- fore the assassin accomplished his deed was shown on his fingers and hands, which were slashed with the razor, evidently made as he tried to ward off the blows. The man ar rested for the crime is half-breed named Daily. He is thought to be the right man, for he tainted immediately on his arrest and has been sick ever sipce

A Report fthe Drain on Northwest Forests by the Special Timber Agent - Interruptions Dealings of
 the Montana Improvement Com. pany.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Commissioner
 Sparks of the general land office has received
 the following report in regard to the cutting
 of timber in the Northwest:
 DEvARTMENT OF THE INFERIOR, GENERAL LAND OFFICE, RATHDRUM, Idaho, Oct. 3, 1885.
 The Honorable Commissioner of the General Land Office:
 Sir:-I have the honor to report that I have completed the reports of the Northern Pacific company and the Montana Improve ment company and timber land cases, and herewith transmit eight reports in addition to what have already transmitted There has been taken from the govern ment domain S4, TAI railroad ties, 15 400, 900 shingles (61, 500 branches,) 3,205 cords of wood and 50, 900 cedar posts. To value the lumber at $10 per 1 ,000 feet. which would be low figure, the railroad ties st forty cents per tie, the wood at $3 per cord and the posts at $S0 per thousand, and the shin gles st $20 per thousand or soc. bunch, would amount to $613, 402. This does not represent all the ties and wood cut for the Northern Pacific Railroad company by Eddy, Hammond & Co. which changed It's hrm to the Montana Improvement company in
 July, 1883. As I found it absolute inn possibility to get witnesses to testify in these cases or even to find persons of whom
 I could not obtain anything like satisfactory
 information where the depredations were
 committed between Rathdrum, Idaho,
 and Bear Mouth, Montana, is very thickly settled and men who were
 employed on the contracts during the COZ struction of the Northern Pacific railroad
 have gone to parts unknown. Owing to this it has taken me much longer to com
 plete this investigation than it otherwise should. was hampered by officers of the Montana Improvement company who appear ed to expect an investigation and were forti- flying their positions. The company have agents along the line endeavoring to suppress facts of the Montana Improvement company s operations. The company is an unscrupu- corporation that will leave nothing undone to gain their point. I found that no reli- ance whatever could be placed upon state ments made by officers of this company. l have mailed you copy in duplicate of the contract between the Northern Pacific railroad and the Montana Improvement company. It
 was furnished me by H. w. Fairweather of Sprague, Wyoming, an ex-diyision superin- ten dent of the Northern Pacific railroad company. Signed
