Supposed Murder-The Body of An
drew Thomas Found. Andrew Thomas
body was found on Wednesday morning
last. 1t will be remembered that tn is is the
man who mysterously disappeared on the
28th of March last. II is suspected that he
was killed by George and Frank jackson,
two brothers, ON the river road between
Travilah and Hunting Hill, in drunken
fracas which took place on their return from
Seneca Quarries. The body was found in
the Big Pines, about one hundred yards
from a tenant house on the back part of
hr. Robert Stevens farm. The spot where
the body was found is comparatively open
place in the Pines, a few trees dotting the
spot, which was without underground. At
the spot is large log, the leaves on one
side of which bear an impression as if the
body might have first lain there. After de-
composition set in the dogs dragged the
body several yards further away. The ten
ant house near which Thomas remains were
found is occupied by Mr.. Addison Robert
son. On Tuesday evening his dog returned
home with what he supposed was human
finger in his mouth. 1t was taken from the
dog and proved to be human finger bear
ing the flesh and nail. Mr.. Robertson in
his mind connected it at once with the body
of Thomas, and the next morning proceed
ed to tho Pines in search of the missing
man. He found it al the point already des-
cribed. He brought the Information to
Sheriff Kelchner, who with Justice Morgan,
summoned jury OF inquest
The jury examined the body and three
persons, but the testimony was so very un.
satisfactory that it adjourned to meet here
on Friday at II o'clock, TO make further
examination of other persons and to have
the assistance Of the States Attorney. The
fesh-devouring dogs and birds had robbed
the remains of Thomas Of their flesh, leaving
nothing but the bones, except a little flesh
on the ankles and feet covered by pair of
boots, which the dogs could not get into.
The left hand was missing and the right
leg severed from the body below the knee
Two Of the lower teeth were out and an
upper one loosencd. His clothes were iden-
titled by his family and also his penknite
and pocket-book, which contained $l03.
In his coat pocket was found a-half pint
flask with gill Of whiskey in it. Frank
and George Jackson were arrested and
brought to Jail. Mr.. Robertson will claim
the reward Of 800 offered by the County
Commissioners if the Jacksons are con.
victed Of murder No marks of violence
could be discovered upon the body in its
condition. His coat had large spot of
blood on the shoulder, which was supposed
came from wound in the head DIR. G.. j.

DR.. WaIkers Lecture.-

DIR. walkers Lecture.-We are glad
that we had the pleasure OF hearing Dr.
Walkers octogenarian lecture at the Bap-
list church on Friday evening last. The
audience was not large, but it certainly was
an appreciative one. For ourself, we did
not go from any expectation of hearing a
highly embroidered address, but we are fond
of the traditions and memories of the past,
and particularly 80 when they are narrated
by those who have buffeted the stream of
time for over threesc years and ten.
DIR. Walker gave a succinct narration of
the startling events and changes, historical,
civil, scientific, political, moral and religi.
Gus, which had taken place or developed dur.
ing his life. His description of the growth
and progress of science, literature and art
was exceedingly unique and graphic, whilst
his allusion 10 the great civil commissions
which had from time TO time shaken Europe
to its very foundation was OF absorbing in.
terest. These liicis and changes were not
related in their individual sense or happen
ing, but their progress upon the several OPP
erations OF society was illustrated by the
benefcent effect produced. Dr. Walkers
manner and style of delivery was pleasing
and impressive, whilst the closing portion
OF the lecture, when he alluded 10 the prob
able advanced growth of the world during
the nexi eighty years, was given with much
animation and depth Of feeling.
Al the conclusion OF the lecture DR..
Walker lntimaic,i that in all probability he
would give at an early day a lecture upon
his "reminiscences of the late civil war, pend
ing his residence in Richmond at that time
This will be an interesting theme To our
people, and We bespeak for the Doctor on
this occasion good house. The price of
admission will be but nominal and will be
announced in due time.

FLOUR MILL At lEWISTOWN.

Steps should be taken early in the
year 1856 toward the construction and
operation Of a Touring mill at Lewis
town. One thing is apparent from the
very start, that poor or inexperienced
men can do but very little with such
an enterprise, other than form an ASSOC
citation for the purpose Of starting the
scheme and attracting the attention Of
capitalists. There are probably II num-
Der of men Of means in the west, who
would he glad to get such an opening
were they aware Of its existence. The
matter must, in some way, be brought
to their attention. 1t will not do to go
to sleep and wait for something to turn
up. 1t has been demonstrated that we
can raise good, hard wheat in Montana,
and manufacture first-class -four, and
why should the best farming region in
theterritory rely upon imported flour for
its use, and see other, less favored Sec
tons, hauling their wheat to their mills
and getting flour from 81 to. 81. 80 per
hundred cheaper?
No doubt the sum Of $1,000 would he
sufficient to purchase the plant already
started at Lewistown, together with all
new and additional machinery neces-
sary to complete it. That beautiful
stream which flows swiftlydown from the
Snowy range was not brought into ex-
istence for nothing Here is one Of the
finest water powers in Montana, lying
idle from the lack Of capital and enter
prise.
But one thing is necessary. Ranch
men should keep on experimenting
with wheat. Try all varieties, espec-
tally the hard Fife wheat. They
should increase the acreage and demon
strate beyond any possible doubt their
ability to grow wheat that will make
marketable flour for home consump-
ton. The average Montanian would
be willing to put up with -four shade
darker than the Belle Of Moorhead'' /
or -Four Ace.' if he was not entirely !
bereft Of local pride and AN appetite.

The members Of the house of repre-

question rs follows: In favor # sus-
pension Of coinage, 80 democrats and
81 republicans; opposed to suspension,
143 democrats and 50 republicans. The
noticeable feature regarding this mo-
mentous question is the division Of the
members upon sectional lines. The
west and south are practically unit
for coinage, while the east and middle
states appear to be almost rs sOlidly in
favor of suspension. With u majority
Of 65 in its. favor, anti-silver measures

A new process for the reduction of
quartz has been invented that may
revolutionize quartz mill machinery.
The invention, which was tested in San
Francisco few days ago, with pro-
nounced success, consists Of a revolv-
ing iron ball Of half ton weight by
which the ore is crushed more thorough
ly and much quicker. with less pro-
pelling power. than by the drop stamp
process. Moreover the gold is ANAL
ganated almost completely in the
battery, and retained in good form.
