Middleton Distinguishes Himself.

Middleton Distinguishes Himself.
Louis Riel, the Canadian rebel, has
been taken to Manitoba and will prob
ably go on to the eastern provinces for
trial for treason. He talks freely and in
telligently to those with whom he is
thrown in contact. He says his people
forced him to come back from Montana,
and then he and his people were forced
to fight by the tyranny of the mounted
police and the Hudson Bay Company
officers, who abused their power and
would take everything from the half
breeds but their noses. He says if
charged with treason he shall plead that
he is citizen of the United States and
also that the Canadian government
made treaty with him and his people
and failed to carry out it's provisions.
He recites his services to the Canadian
government and their illtreatment of
him in extenuation of what he has
done.
Meanwhile Gen. Middleton has been
rounding up the Indian department of
the insurrection. On the 9th inst.
Poundmaker, the great Cree chief who
had been making overtures for surren-
der for some days, came into Midtlleton's
camp; with him came number of other
influential and dangerous chiefs, the
teams taken with the supply train and
21O stand of arms, and the supplies
taken are also to be given up. Big Bear
and his force are still at large. Middle

completed, leaving 142 miles yet to be
built.

with the engineer force on the Cascade
tunnel, arrived in town Wednesday and
reports that nearly all the force engaged
in construction on the Yakima division has
been discharged. But few men will re-
main there to keep up semblance of
work. Reports from the other side of the
Cascades are that the reduction is not SO
sweeping, but still the work has been cut
down one-half or more. The reason ad
vanced for this stop of construction is that
the only valuable part of the land grant is
now covered and that the company has
not the means to carry forward the con-
struction of the tunnel at present.

devoted heads Of the people of Timber

The Trail Creek Coal Mines.

The Trail Creek Coal Mines.
The Hedges brothers have fine show
ing on their coal land at Trail creek. On
the $50 acres which they own they have
developed three distinct veins and have
tapped the coal in five different places,
They have lately struck vein Of coal
close to the property owned by Cy. Mounts,
which adjoins their land ON the west and
upon which coal is also being shown up.
From this fact and the formation of the
veins it seems certain that the coal meas
ures on the Mounts property continue un
broken through the Hedges property and
perhaps thence into the Byam brothers
claim, which adjoins on the east where
good vein of coal has also been developed.
The Hedges brothers are working their
property constantly. The coal taken out
in the course of the development has been
sold in Livingston and has proven supe'
rior article of fuel. 1t is the opinion of
several experts who have examined this
country that the Trail Creek coal mines
are the most promising in the coal meas
ures which extend throughout the Belt
Mountains from Timberline to Cinnabar.

The Annual Apache Raid.

As@sA~e'
Last week Geronimo's band Of Apache
Indians, subdued last year by Gen.
Crook and held as prisoners of war on
the San Carlos reservation at Fort
Apache, went upon the warpath. Their
original strength is variously estimated
at from so bucks upward, but the pres
ence of squaws and children makes the
total number considerable and hard to
exactly ascertain. Murder and pillage
began as soon as they reached the noun
tains. The scene Of the outbreak is
southeastern Arizona and the south
western corner of New Mexico and per-
haps Sonora in old Mexico. In radius
Of "a miles from Silver City "a persons
have been found killed and, judging
from reports from all over that region
of country, the aggregate number of
whites who have already fallen in this
outbreak of the bloodthirsty Apaches
must be large. The troops are out after
the Indians and cowboys and settlers
are also in arms pursuing or defending.
The territorial militia has also been cal
led out. One skirmish has occurred be-
tween the soldiers and Indians in which
the latter lost one killed and then fled.
The reports say that the Indians are
constantly leaving the reservations in
small parties andit is believed that they
are joining the hostiles. Navajoes, Ctes
and Piutes are reported to be armed and
in war paint and off their reservations.
Fridays news brought additional re-
cords of numerous killings by the In
dians and the running off of horse and
other stock. Gen. Crook is following
the main band with all speed and has
them almost hemmed in. He says the
Indians travelled 13O miles in two days
over exceedingly rough country. If
there is soldier in the west who knows
how to handle Apaches in either peace
or war it is Gen. Crook. From cores
pondence transmitted by the War De-
partment to the Indian Bureau, it ap-
pears that the Indian outbreak was
caused by whisky. The Indians manu-
factured large quantities of "tiswin"
and became intoxicated. Knowing that
punishment would follow this infraction
of the rules, they abandoned the reser-
tion and went on the warpath. There
is text for temperance lecture.
