mistaken in the premises. "A detachment
left the post at the time ne indicated, in
the direction of the Sweet Grass, but they
were EN- route to the Piegai1 agency, and
had not thought of molesting the min

the case, together with the decision;
Knudson settled on the tract prior to the
survey and rendered his pre-emption de-
claratory statement at the local office at
Fargo after the tract had been claimed by
the railroad company as indemnity land.
The general land office holds that, "ln-
demnity selections are not operative to
defeat the rights of bona fde adverse
claimants under the laws OF the United
States who settled on land within such in
demnity limits prior to the time when So
leetions by the railroad company had been
made. AS the alleged settlement antedates
the company's selection, Mr.. knudson
will be permitted to file his declaratory
statementand in due time make final pre-
emption proof.

Settled at Last

A question that has been puzzling the
stock men of this section for some time is,
where will the Conrad-Priee band of 5000
head of cattle be turned loose;, what range
will they be put upon. It.has been given
out that they would be driven on the
shonkin, on the Teton and on the upper
Marias, and no one but the proprietors
have been Unlisted into the mysteries of
the matter. The RIVER PREss, however,
solved the puzzling problem to-day, as will
be seen by the following lucid and en-
tirely satisfactory interview with Mr..
Chas. Price, who arrived in the city this
morning.
"Where are the cattle faow?" inquired
the reporter.
. .sszE7he advance party will p probably camp
at the Knees tonight, y was the reply.
''If you have no objections, Mr.. Price,
would you tell the reading public where
where you expect to turn your hero
loose?"
80, no objections whatever"
"Wen?''
SIN the first place, we will brand on

Marias, where we have had some improve
ments made this fall, and then will turn

eyes, but where ?"
''Some place where there is good feed
without regard to whose range 1t is; you
can 20 to betting we Willnot turn out on
any of the burnt districts"
The reporter, as in duty bound, thanked
him for this explicit and exclusive
bit of information and went on his way
rejoicing, in that he was. enabled to throw
q flood of light upon a question that has
long vexed our local stoekmen.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-The main feat
ure in Indian policy of the administration
will be a recommendation regarding meth
DDS of purchasing and issuing provisions

feature of the present system is disapprov-

lieves that if the army is to be expected 10
prevent Indian depredations the military
authorities should be given the power to
assist in removing causes of fdisapprobation
by providing for an honest distribution OF
supplies. This is a policy long recommen-
ded by Sherman, Sheridan and other high
