Red Devils Again.

The R5ref Press of Tuesday contains an
account of another Indian raid. It says
that last Sunday afternoon Billy Brown
saw g party of eight Indians near his ranch,
passing up Arrow Greek with thirty head
of horses. Brown took his rifle and start
ed in pursuit mounted upon an unsaddIed
eayuse. As he approached the rear guard
he covered them with his gun. The willy
sayages signaled to him to refrain from
shooting, but to 60 and talk with those in
the van who were driving the horses. As
Mr.. Brown attempted to do so one of the
Indians fired upon him. Brown returned
the compliment and the Indian ran behind
a butte. A neighbor by the name of Err
win, fully equipped for service, came to
his relief at this point. Erwin remained
to watch the thieves while Brown went
back after his saddle. The result was that
Erwin lost his own horse, saddle, bride
and gun, and narrowly escaped with his
life. The Indians got away with their
stolen herd of horses and augmented their
booty by running off nineteen which Err
win had just rounded up to prevent their
being stolen.

The Coach Accident.

Particulars of the disaster which befeH
the Helena and Benton coach last week
show that it was the most serious one
which has ever occurred or that line. At
the time of the smash up, the driver is
said to have been crowding his horses to u
speed unwarranted at that point in the
dangerous road. The passengers plead
with him in vain to slacken his pace. The
coach was heavily loaded with freight and
passengers, nearly all of whom were more
or less Injured. The driver, spine injured.
Did not recover consciousness for some
time after being picked up. He IS said fa
be very badly injured.
Mrs. Anna kavanaugh, enroate to Att-
gusta from Butte. spine injured.
Mrs Thomas Bryant of Augusta, teeth
knocked out and badly bruised otherwise
Mrs. Lyons, Of Grand Forks d. f., left
arm broken.
VIM. sprague, Of Sun River also receiv-
ed spinal injuries.
T.. B. Trentlen, Z. s. postoffce inspee-
tor, bad cut in the forehead.
There Were several other victims whose
names we did not learn. The case Of Mrs
Lyons is the saddest Of all. She had been
| summoned to Great Falls to the bedside
of her dying son. Besides all the physical
suffering which the unfortunate lady has
undergone. she has been in great mental
distress for fear that her son would pass
away before she could reach him. Geo.
Warner of the coach line, brought her to
| Great Falls by private conveyance.

Increase Among the Indians.

A MINNEAPOLIS gentleman, who has
lived much among the Northwestern In
dians advances the theory that they have
been steadily increasing instead of dimi-
nishing in numbers, notwithstanding the
occasional mortality caused by small pox
and other diseases. He maintains that
when the whites first settled on the
American continent the Indians occupied
narrow strips of territory along the East
ern and Southern rivers, and gradually
followed the buffalo Inland. In the days
of Daniel Boone the State of Kentucky
was traversed by myriads of bufaloes,
but no sign of an Indian village has been
found; all the tribes uniting in its pre-
servation as a great pasture for the native
herds. He regards this fact as evidence
that the comparatively few Indians occu-
pying the Atlantic coast have gradually
moved West with the buffalo and multi
piled as they travelled. The first, Govern
ment report mentions 10000 Indians,
while the last total number reported was

THE FIGHT AGAINST SILVER.

During the campaign the New
York Sun, published the following
reflections on the silver question: lit
is a noteworthy circumstance, that
although we are in the midst Of an
election canvas for representatives to
a new congress, not a word IS said
anywhere about the silver question.
Candidate are not pledged against
silver. The enemies Of silver seem to
have abandoned the fight against it.
The fact is, the people have come
round to the position that the coin
age Of the silver dollar does no harm
whatever. All the dollars coined up
to this time, and all that will be coin
ed for the next five years, merely re-
place q corresponding amount OF re-
tired National bank notes, thus pre-
serving the country from a contract
ion Of the currency. Prophecies OF
financial disaster, which were SC con-
hdently made at the beginning OF
1885, have proved to be of no more
value than Virgins prediction OF
storm and earthquake. The silver
dollar is here to stay"

a Phenomenon in journalism.

In the fall of 1884 there was a farmers
paper established at Minneapolis, contain
ing is pages, 81 columns, and PIT d
two times monthly at a subscription In4ue-
of only so cents a year. So ridiculously
cheap did this price appear that its early
death was frequently and openly predict
ed. However, its fearless attacks upon
the many organized wrongs which Cypress
ed the farmers of the Northwest, and its
general excellence, convinced them of its
loyalty to their cause and its value as an
educator, and induced such liberal support
that the most successful and popular farm
paper in this country is now Farm, Stock
aad Home. By a special arrangement with
the publishers we can furnish it FREE for
one year, to new subscribers to the TRIB-
UNE, who pay one year in advance, or old
subscribers who will wipe out their old
scores and renew their subscription. Ev-
cry farmer and stoek-grower in Northern
| Montana should take advantage of this of
fer.

The Rainbow Falls of the Missouri.

The Rainbow Falls of the Missouri.
Within the distance of four miles be-
low the growing town Of Great Falls,
Montana, the Missouri river makes a pun
Der of leaps in its descent from the plain
through which it has come since leaving
the Gate of the Mountains to the bottom
of the deep canyon in which it flows I'M
til it reaches Fort Benton. The most i'm
portant of these leaps are named respect
lively, the Black Eagle Falls, the Rainbow
and the Great Falls. OF these the Great
Fall, as its name indicates, is the highest,
but the Rainbow Fall is the most beauti-
full from its regularity and Its precipitous
character. Only a portion of the Great
Fall is vertical, the rocks being broken
on the north side of the river so that the
water descends by a series of steps. The
Rainbow extends from bank to bank its
symmetrical sheet of blue and white, sur
mounted with arches of flashing, opales-
cent spray. The view on the first page is
from a sketch taken at a point of view ON
the south bank of the river. The magni-
fcent scenery of the Falls of the Missouri
can easily be visited by tourists, either by
stage from Helena, Montana, or by way
of the river. Next year there will be rail
communication from Helena to the town

The Indians are Peaceful.

CUSTER, Mont, special Scout Camp
bell has returned to Fort Custer, having
ridden from the agency on Tongue river,
the scene of the a%pprehended outbreak Of
the Cheyennes. He went under orders to
the agency in advance of Capt. Forse's
battalion Of the First Cavalry, and, after
gathering all the information he could,
made for the Fort, reporting the situation
to Capt. Forse On his way back. He says
the whole affair is a scare, and so far as
he could see or learn there never was any
good reason to fear serious trouble. He
met settlers within four miles of the
agency who had heard nothing whatever
Of the trouble, and who said the Indians
had never been more quiettllan at present.
The female school teacher at the agency
has kept up her school and her scholars
have not been disturbed by any excite
mont Or reports. In fact, everybody was
going about as usual and the people did
not know that any disturbance was feared
until Campbell arrived and told them the
troops were coming. Forse's battalion
was expected to. reach the agency last
evening, that officer having concluded to
proceed more leisurely after hearing
Scout Campbell's report that all was
peaceful a letter from the priest at the
agency states that there was some excite
ment among the Cheyennes at first over
the arrest of Chief Crazy-head and two
uther bucks on the charge of sheep steal
