Mn. Christian Zelle, aged sixty. thres
years, Of Carondelet, ST. Louis, Missouri,
had chronic ulce, on her leg which had
been running for forty three yeas. To
use her own language, she had "tried Ill
the DOCTOR" but without percepdble ben.
eft. Two of the most noted Of this city
advised her, - the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to q distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March ~, this
year, she commenced using DR.. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to-day the leg 10
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty-three years.
Miss Alice Brady, Of East St. Louis,
Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalmia
for five years. On April ~ che began
treatment under DR.. Hartman. For

the best known oculists Of this city, but
they signally failed to help her. After
one month under DR.. Hartman and his
PERuxA, her eyes have almost entirely
healed, and, according to her own state
ment, he has done more for her in this
short space Of time than the oculists did
in the previous whole year. PERUNA,

Killed by Indians.

Word has been received at Spokane
Falls of the killing near the Colville
mines of James Rusk who started for the
mines with saddle and pack horse, and
a first class outfit. Next day the horse
turned up at Pasture, FIVE miles from
this fact sounded an alarm. On Friday
morning officers Joe Warren and E. M
Pound went in search and returned
Saturday, bringing no news of him.
Saturday night the citizens Of Spokane
met and twenty-eight volunteered to 90
in search, and fund was raised for ex-
penses. They elected Geo. T. Crane
commander of the searching party. Sun
day morning at o'clock the party start
ed. Nine miles from town, on Dead
Mans creek, they found where Rusk
had camped, the camp being recognized
by an acquaintance from the peculiar
arrangement of the camp stick. Twenty
rods from this place, with his face in the
water and rife ball through his head,
they found the dead body of Rush.
One of his pockets was rifed, and the
packs, saddle and halters gone. The
other pocket contained $172 and his
watch, which had stopped at IL minutes
to s P. M. from the water filling it.
Apparently he had been killed at the
camp fire and carried to the place where
the body was.:found. Numerous mecca
sin tracks in the vicinity pointed to In
dams, though many believe they were
white men. There was no other clue.
The body was brought to Spokane Falls,
where an inquest was held and verdict
of death by an unknown murderer
given.
The citizens organized search party
for the murderers, who are thought to be
Calispel Indians, and the commander at
Fort Ceur d'Alene has been requested
to send detachment of cavalry with
officers, Rusk was middle'aged man
and leaves a wife and seven children in a
Door condition. On Wednesday last Mr..
and Mrs. R. Dent of Alexandria, Mimi,
passed drought Bozeman en- route to
Spokane to comfort and return with their
daughter. Mrs. Rusk.

A Big, Bad Man,

A Stevenson, the Clerk of the Probate
Court who was asked to resign by the
Helena Grand Jury, was arrested last
week on warrant charging him with
converting to his own use 81 300 paid
into that Court March 20, to liquidate a
judgment against the estate of ]. Y.
Stewart, deceased. Bail was fixed at $4,-
600. Catherine M. Stewart, the complain
ant, has ranch on the Canyon Ferry
Road. This was the last claim against
estate and she had to borrow a part OF
money to pay it. When she found that
the money had not been forwarded she
cried and still was very slow to make
complaint. She gave the court until
May Sd to refund, but the court did not
come to time. The receipt she holds was
In full for the judgment, is signed by A.
Stevenson, clerk, and bears the seal Of
the Probate Court. Stevenson cashed
the check on the 23rd of March at the
First National Bank, and the complaint
charges that he converted the same to
his own use. The prisoner, claims to be
the son of Kentucky Ex-Governor; took
his arrest coolly, stating that he could
clear himself. He chastigated former

The Secretary of the Treasury, who
has been so near to deaths door for the
past month, is at work again, we do not
mean that he is well or at his desk. He
is only able to sit up and take drive
occasionally. But he interest himself
with affairs at his Department and dis
cusses business questions with such Of
ficials as Treasurer Jordan and Assistant
Secretary Fairshild. There is no truth
in the report that he had signified to the
President his intention of retiring from
office. On the contrary, it is known that
he earnestly desires and fully intends to
remain at the head Of the Treasury
which he has so ably directed for the
past year. The apprehension Of his
friends now is that he will undertake to
resume his official duties before he Is
physically able.

He Plead Guilty.

An amusing incident occurred in court
yesterday. One James Atkins, generally
known hereabouts as "Buttermilk Jim"
who was awaiting trial on the charge of
stealing horse at Elkhorn, employed
our friend and attorney of camping on
the tril" fame to defend him. John, who
evidently had been camping" since his
arrival here, upon the opening of court
yesterday arose and said: Your honor, l
would like to have "Buttermilk Jim,
brought into court"
Who is Buttermiik JIM" asked his
honor.
81 don'tknow any other name for him, y
replied John.
His honor was soon informed by one
of and attorneys present'who Buttermilk
Jim was and the Isheriff was ordered to
bring him in.
james Atkins, are you guilty CT not
guilty. asked the Judge,
you are guilty" Jim. said John, "are
you not ?"
"No, ain'tm
eyes you are and you might as well
say so and place yourself at the mercy Of
the court"
An arguement here ensued between
attorney and criminal, which resulted in
"Buttermilk Jim" pleading guilty.-In-

Editor of the Chronicle
Yesterday for the first time since
came to the territory made the trip. in
a buggy, up the river to Yankee jim,
about twenty miles aboye me, and
found everything along the route look
ing fine, the ranchmen busy getting their
gram sowed, and the stock looking nice.
Mr.. Daley, six miles above me, has
very fine new house and large, nice
barn, and is now having very nice
woven wire door-yard fence made, which
will add to the beauty of his lovely
place. Mr.. West, about two miles above
Mr.. Daley's, is also identifying his place
by painting his house and rigging up the
surroundings, Mr.. Sam Daley, about
one mile further on, is also fixing up MS
residence nicely, and he has right TO-
as he is doing something for his country
in the way of multiplying and replenish-
sng the earth, having already two chill
dren, and only about one year difference
in their ages. The valley, for tae past
six months, will beat any section OF
the same number of inhabitants IN the
world as to raising children, and another
thing. they are all fine and healthy look
ing. l stopped a lew minutes at the
Pfhol ranch, and found them all busy
attending to garden and farm, and now
for the road from Pfhol ranch to Yankee
Jim's. l must say was surprised, as,
from what had heard from some parties
I expected to find road that would
bother the devil to drive ever, but l
found the road in better condition than
supposed road could be made in SUCH
a place, and / must say that no one
ought to find fault in paying toll over
i'll think, of course, that the county
ought to pay Mr.. George a reasonable
price and make it free road-but for
the vast amount of work required in
building it, l for one shall never feel that
am robbed by paying him toll for the
privilege of travelling over it-then again
the scenery along the canyon named
after him is magnificent. and l would
consider it worth the while of tourists to
get off the cars and walk the distance
through the canyon ON the Yankee jim
road, and they will all admit the scenery
well worth the trouble Yours, VAN.
