bushels to the acre will give nine million

Gabriel Dumont, Adiutant-G eneral in the
recent Rlel rebellion, with Michael Dumas,
his secretary, are in Helena securing funds to
bring their families into the United States
with the purpose of obtaining citizenship.
Dumont says Riel was only head chief of
council of Is who controlled all movements
and actions of the rebels. Dumont appears
really to have been the head of the fighting
forces. He says their entire force, all told,
was 475 and they were outnumbered four to
one. Dumont reiterates the statements we
have had before of the bad faith of the Cana
dian government ia giving them title to lands
which had been given them by treaty, and
says they merely organized to make the gov
fulfill its promises, as their lands were being
taken by others.
Pluck wins 1t always wins
Though days be slow,
And nights be dark 'twixt days
That come and go;
Still pluck will win.-Egchange
This reads well. But there is nothing in
It, Custer and his men were persons of pluck
and yet they did not succeed. They were all
wiped out by the Indians in less than two
hours. The man who jumped off the Brook
Ign bridge a few days since was q man of ex-
treme pluck, and yet he did not win. Gen.
eral Burgoyne and Lord CORVALLIS were of
ficers Of great pluck, but they both achieved
magnificent failures. General Wolsely is a |
man of pluck, energy and determination and
yet he failed to overcome the Mahdi. Riel
and his Indians in the Northwest were all
men of pluck, and yet one Calling gun made
that pluck as insufficient as cowardice in
single hour. Pluck is so allied to rashness
rhat two thirds of all the smash-ups in Wall
street may be charged to an over-supply of
courage. Yellowstone Journal.
A Market Lake, Idaho, dispatch of June
20, to the Butte Miner, says: internal trou.
bles among the Shoshone and Bannack In
dams, whose Joint Agency is at Ross Fork,
Idaho, to-day resulted in the killing of four
of the latter named tribe and the wouRdine
of one or two others. From the best infor-
nation ebtainable it is learned that the Ban
mack Indians have been stealing ponies
from the others at the Agency. Knowing |
their thefts had been discovered and antici- |
pating punishment, they appeared at the
Agency and challenged the Indian police |
outside to fight it out. The challenge was
accepted, and in the fight the thieves killed |
two policemen-members Of their own tribe |
escaping unhurt themselves. In the after |
noon the entire police force surround ed the |
thieves in the neighboring foothills and |
killed them. The excitement at the Agency |
was high, the Indians appearing wild, but |
the agent pacifed them by generous distri- |
button of rations. All Is quiet at the present |

While Mr. Bennett, planning mill man,
was proceeding homeward, along lower Main |
street, about IL o'clock, on Friday night, |
during the prevalence of q heavy thunder |
storm, he was attracted by loud cries Of |
"Help! Help" He hurried to the rescue |
and found that one man was assaulting an
other. Bennett pursued the assailant, who |
took to his heels, but unfortunately the for
mer fell into ditch when the latter escaped |
in the meshes Of Chinatown. Bennett, whs |
was considerably injured by his fall, report
ed the circumstances to police headquarters, |
and officers Mcdonald and Meiklejehn were /
promptly dispatched in quest of the assail-
ant They did not find the man, but they |
picked up a memorandum book, with the |
name flames Brennan, Seattle, w. t." on

looking, middle-aged man inclosed. Two
rocks, covered with blood, were found close
