No Engineering Difficulties.

Mr.. Barclay accompanied by w. G..
Conrad, John Harris and L. j. Todd went
out Friday to look the ground over with
a view of locating the approaches of the
proposed railroad from point beyond the
Marias. The route selected and which
Mr.. Barclay expresses himself as well
pleased with, making the approaches to
the city comparatively easy, was up the
long coulee back of the old graveyard to
the bench, from thence TO the Government
coulee, down the Teton to the Marias, and
crossing that stream about 4 mile above
the road, opposite coulee about eight
miles in length. Mr.. Barclay said the
grades were all easy and there would be
no engineering difficulties to overcome.
Mr.. Barclay accompanied by Messrs. Col
Inns, Minar and Maclay lett early this
morning for Neihart, and will probably
return on Monday, after looking over the
camp and its resources.

Harrison Hauled over the Goals

Deputy Sheriff AL. Harrison, who was
one OF the main witnesses ia the Indian
case before Judge Coburn last week, was
arrested after the trial for contempt of
court, upon the complaint of two witness
es, who claimed that he had made mo-
tion with his knife as if he had wished to
say that he would kill one of the Indians
and scalp him if they were acquitted. Mr..
Harrison when called upon stated that, as
was his usual custom, he had his open
knife in his hands scraping his nails, when
one of the Indians asked him in signs why
he did not arrest another of their tribe,
who was with the party when horses were
stolen. He replied in signs by the aid Of
his open knife that the Indian mentioned
had been killed and scalped by other In
dians. Whereupon the judge dismissed
him with the most singing reprimand
that has ever been delivered from the
bench Of this district, informing the sher-
if that he never wished to see the defen-
dant in court again, except he was brought
in as a criminal. A fine of 800 would
have been far more acceptable to Mr..
Harrison than this Setting out. ."-Boze-

The summer over, the harvest past, and
surprised at the small yield. Taking the
whole crop in this locality the shrinkage
over last year is over 80 per cent. Joe
Cobell had 4, Pol bushels against ,753 the
previous year; Dick Stanton 1908 against
1900 in 1884, and everybody from whom
we have heard report still greater losses.
August Heydt and partner are the only
ones whose crop came up to the yield of
last year, but we are informed that their
acreage was greater by ten acres than last
year. A. B. Coe sowed 800 pounds of
red fife wheat on small piece of potato
ground, variously estimated at from three
to four acres, narrowed it in and harvested
151 bu of probably the cleanest wheatin the
country. This was machine measure and
two bushel sack of this wheat tips the
beam at 154 pounds. A sack of the white
soft variety sown in the same field pro-
duced equally as well.

Democrat says: Advices from Indian ter

foothold in Oklahoma and it would
take the United States some time to clear
the country OF them, as the intruders are
widely scattered. There are numbers of
armed men and the possibility of fight
between the boomers and the troops is by
no means remote. The statement is made
that the leaders desire to bring about
conflict on the eve of the aecembling of
congress, so that congressional action may
be had and Oklahoma legally opened to
settlement. The Indians are reported as
becoming restless under the situation,
though they anticipate no outbreak.
