Indian Troubles.

A Missoula special to the Independent
of the 18th says: N. H. Coombs, in charge
of Eddy, Hammond & Co.'s store at Arlee,
Montana, killed an Indian and wounded
another who had forcibly driven him out
shortly after II o'clock on the night of
the 10th. On receipt of a telegram Sher-
if Lane and others started for Arlee at 3
a. m. to-day, and Coombs and the balance
of the party came to Missoula on special
engine this morning, leaving the sheriff to
apprehend the wounded Indian. The In
dians who made the attack arrived at Arlee
on passenger train from the west and are
supposed to be Spokanes. A telegram
from Arlee has just been received from
Lane stating that the Indians had taken
from him his prisoner whom he had ap-
pretended, and calling for military aid.
The Indians are collected in the neighbor-
hood of the station, and are making such
threatening demonstrations that the white
people residing there have taken an engine
at that place and come ON to Evaro. A
detachment of troops from Fort Missoula
is on the way to the scene of action.
There being now no operator at Arlee
nothing further can be heard from there
until after the arrival of the military.

Proposed Consolidation.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Northern Pacific directors was held in
New York on Thursday last. An import
ant matter to have been acted upon was
in regard to the company's express line.
Some time ago the directors received a
proposition from the American Express
company in which the latter proposed
operating the formers express line. This
proposition was again laid before the di-
rcctors at Thursdays meeting. If adopted
it means practically consolidation of the
Northern Pacific and Wells Fargo express
companies, for the latter and the American
company are practically one concern. If
brought about there will be but one ex-
press line operating over the Northern
Pacifc's railroad lire.

Another Tragedy.


Husbandman: Tuesday evening last
ex-sheriff w. D. Cameron came in from
Yogo, Fergus county, with Willis Rhodes
a colored man we'll known in this COM
munity and lodged him in Jail, he having
been committed in default Of 81 900 bail,
by justice of the peace of Big Spring
township for the murder of VIM. Lindsay
at Yogo one day last week. The rarticu-
lars as appeared in the evidence are about
as follows: The people of the camp were
incensed against Rhodes for keeping up a
team and feeding them on oats alone, and
had threatened to drive him from the
camp. On the day mentioned a number
of the miners were on 'sbust," Lindsay
among the rest. Rhodes happening to
pass Lindsay said, There be goes now;"
and grabbing up his gun rushed to the
door and shouted. ''Get, you black s. of
a b." and fired, though not with the
intention Of killing as he is dead shot.
Rhodes ran to his cabin, grabbed up two
guns, but one was taken from him; run
ming out he dropped on his knee and fired
two shots. Two other shots were also fired
but evidence could not tell who by. The
result was Lindsay was pierced through
and through with 57-calibre rifle ball,
causing death almost instantly. Although
there is some error in the commitment the
prisoner will be held to await the action
Of the grand jury.

southern Ranroad Va.


CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 9.-The bitter
est rate war that has ever occurred
between Southern railroads is now in
progress, and to-day's developments
bid fair to make it even more general
and determined. The war was COM
menced two weeks ago by the Western
s. Atlantic railroad, which made a cut
of SIS per cent in Eastern rates out of
Chattanooga. This cut was done on
account of rivalry existing between
that line and the East Tennessee,
Virginia s. Georgia road. The cut
was not met and thereupOn the West
ern & Atlantic officials announced
that the low rates would be perma-
nent. At once the East Tennessee
made cut of so per cent. on Eastern
business out of Atlanta and the Rich
mond & Danville was brought into the
fight. It is now thought the Western
& Atlantic railroad will open ticket
Office in Knoxville and begin an indis-
criminate cut to all Southern points.
The Louisville & Nashville is being
drawn into the fight, and all Southern
lines are becoming involved.

Of excitement, by the whistle of a
steamboat" in "Big Black" Some
of our citizens wanted to walk down
and see the mighty sight," but the
heat prevented all but one,who started
in "full tilt to be the first to see the
new show, after he had made the first
mile, in about 3:45, he met his boat
coming up the V. & NJ. railroad, under
about 120 pounds Of steam; she blew
her whistle and he "flung down his
hat" and said, "well, swear" that
was a "pay train," and here am one
mile from home, and hot, for the
Lords sake" When he came in he
was asked what did she look like Joe
He said, the d., that was no boat,
was just fooling you all.
The rain is said to be very damaging

to business. was elected to that Office when his
brother retired; which office he held until the
close of the war. He married Two years ago
Miss Florence Folkes. a native Of Warren coun-
ty, whose untiring attentions contributed much
to his comfort during his long and painful i'll
ness. We are well aware that these few lines
can mitigate the grief of his family but little,

tribute Of respect from heart oyerfowing witt
