4 DEATH DANCE.
A SIEGE OF TERRORISM PREVAILING
At MILES CITY
Since Christmas Eve.-A Bloody ARRAY in a
House of Prosututlon Between Two
Men and Two Women.

MILES CRY, December 29.-Terrorism
has prevailed here since Christmas eve.
A death dance was given at a house of
prostitution. Two of the female inmates
luarreled, pounding. scratching and
tearing each other Two men espoused
their cause and fought bitterly. Bob
Roberts pulled a revolver on Bob Sulli-
van. The fight was temporarily bridged
over without shooting, but Sullivan sub
sequently secured a revolver and shot
Roberts in the breast, inflicting mortal
wound. Sullivan escaped On Friday
night he reached ranch on Sandy creek
/ about sixteenmiles distant.
A sheriff and posse started after him,
headed by the Conley brothers. They
demanded Sullivan's surrender He re-
fused, and then a flsilade was opened
upon the ranchman's house. About eight
persons were within. Dr. Carlin, his wife
and three children had just stepped out
of the door when the doctor and the
youngest child were shot dead on the
spot. The wife requested the sheriff 5
men to help her drag her husband and
babe into the cabin, but they refused4
After lettering about about for a long
period, the sheriff Is posse returned.
During the firing Sullivan escaped. The
sheriff's party claim that Sullivan killed
DR.. Carlin and child, while those in the
cabin claim that it was done by the
sheriff7s firing party. Subsequently the
deputies. reinforced, left here to returfs
to the ranch, but when out about three
miles met Sullivan and brought him in
and lodged him in Jail. Strong talk of
lynching ensted and the, fekring on the
part of the citizens ran high against the
county officers for the shooting of valu-
able citizen and his babe on account of a
worthless fellow
The day after the sad affair the Journal
published the several versions of the af-
fair then afioat. The next day one of
the deputy sheriffs met the editor of tie
paper in the county court house and
threatened him with assassination The
previous evening the judge of that court
was called out and given to understand
if he didn't run his court in way to
suit the rough element, he might expect
assassination.
On Sunday afternoon the better class
of citizens held law and order meeting
and adopted an address calling upon the
county officers to perform their dnties
without fear or favor, and to bring all of
tenders and suspected persons to justice.
Furthermore, that the federal judge of
the First judicial district. Hon John Co
burn, Immediately make this the head
quarters of his court, so that justise may
be more speedily and thoroughly en-
forced The better class of people are
bitterly opposed to the lax administra-
ton of the county authorities in matters
pertaining to the public peace, and hope
to secure speedy help from the territorial
and federal authorities. The people con-
tinue greatly excited and are perplexed
IS to the result of the precautions situa-
ton, so sanguinary are its several as

Report Of the U. S. Grand Jury

In the First Judicial District Court OF
the Territory of Montana, sitting as q
court for the trial and determination of
causes arising under the constitution and
laws of the United States, December
term, 1884.
To the Hon. John Coburn, Judge
The United States Grand Jury for the
above term of court respectfully report
that we have inquired into all offences
committed against the laws and constitu-
ton of the United States within the
First Judicial District of Montana Terri
tory of which we could obtain legal evil
dence
We have examined the case of all per-
sons committed or held to bail to await
our action and have either indicted or
discharged said persons.
This Grand Jury learn that an enter
prise is organized for the purpose OF
leasing large portion of the reservation
of the Crow Indians in this district to a
syndicate of capitalists. We desire to
enter protest against the consumma-
ton of this scheme We would respect
fully suggest to the Hon. Secretary of
the Interior of the United States that
such lease would be a serious damage
to the Indians of that reservation, and
also to the white settlers Of this country.
We believe that our opinion upon this
subject is the universal sentiment of the
people of this district, and all persons
who are familiar with the. subject and
who are not selfshly interested in the
enterprise.
In the matter of preliminary examin-
alions of persons charged with crime
before United States Commissioners, we
find that Grand Jain,s are greatly ham,
pered in their laiors BY the fact that the
Commissioners do not in all cases bind
over all persons who should be witnesses
to appear before the Grand Jury. In
every case all material witnesses should
be required either to give personal re-
cognizance or should be placed under
bonds for their appearance.
Having no further business before lis,
we respectfully ask to be discharged.

Hartford Courant: Dr. William A. Wood of East Windsor, the well known natural ist, died on Sunday afternoon quite sud denly as the result of an attack of periton its. He was born in Somers, but has spent the most of his life in East Windsor. He was 63 years of age. He leaves wife and son and daughter. Mrs. Wood is a daughter of Deacon Erastus Ellsworth. His son is MT. William A. Wood, and his his daughter is Mrs. Lewis Sperry, wife of Lewis Sperry of this city, attorney at law and county coroner. Mrs. F. A. Brown and Mrs. Dr. Childs of East Hartford were his sisters. Dr. Wood was successful and prominent physician, but he was more generally known by his wide and thorough researches in natural history. On ornitho- logical matters he was an accepted and recognized authority. Few persons were better informed upon all such subjects than he, and upon the appearance of any strange bird he was looked to at once as the person to explain it. His papers on these topics have been valuable contribu- tions to the available information about our state. His collection of birds is one of the choicest in the country, and is en- riched by many foreign specimens which he had received from acquaintances made at East Windsor among theological stu dents who have become missionaries. He was an enthusiast in his studies, and in his death the cause of natural science loses devoted friend and follower.
