The Indian Murderer.

Not being able to talk the Blackfoot Or
Piegan language we have not attempted
TO obtain an interview with Wolf Mecca
sin, the Indian charged with murder. We
learn from other sources, however, his ac-
count of the unfortunate affair.
He says he was riding along in the dark
and saw what he supposed to be dog or
wolf and fired at it, He found on exam
nation his mistake and then fed.
We were told by Major Baldwin, when
ne was here, that there we're no witnesses
to the affair. 1t appears, therefore, that
all the evidence against the Indian is his
own statement, on which he was bound
over to appear before the grand jury. 1t
was not known that the two Indians had
ever had any trouble and if there was
any motive for the killing it is at present
shrouded in mystery.

The Prairie Shrimp

Charleston IS. c. News: The grass
hopper plague in Minnesota has assumed
so serious a character that the farmers
around st. Paul have decided to pay 81 a
pushel for the insects in order to stimulate
efforts for thler destruction. In Venezue-
la recently a prize Of $4,000 was offered to
anybody who would invent means of
CONVEX ,lng locusts into grease or any 9th
er usefnl article We cannot claim origin
atty for the idea, but why not adopt the
Indian system? The aboriginal farmers
on the plains ws are told, do not regard
the grasshopper as an unmitigated evil.
When their wheat crops grow undisturb-
ed the Indians eat the wheat prepared in
the usual way. When, however the grass
hoppers some and eat the wheat, the In
dians eat the grasshoppors In this way
they are always sure of a good crop one
way or another, and are happy in any
event. There is authority for the state
ment that fried grasshoppers are not so
bad, the testimony of white menWho have
tasted them being that they have "a rich,
nutty TASTE" not unlike peanuts or some
thing of that kind, and that the most
squeamish person would enjoy them if
they were served up in batter or under
some other name We do not care to
press the subject too far, but why not
give the frisky visitors chance to redeem
their reputation by transferring them
from the field to the frying pan? The
Indian holds the oyster and shrimp in
scorn, and this we know is blind and un-
reasonable prejudice. Why should we
not learn from them? Let our friends in
Minnesota name the grasshopper the
Prairie Shrimp and gather him in and
make the most Of him.

The Cunning John Chinaman.

OTTAWA, July 19.-An agent of the do
minion government, who has just return
ed from an official visit to British Colum-
bia, reports that despite the most vigi-
liant watching of United States officers,
large numbers of Chinese are smuggling
themselves across Puget sound, from Vic
toria, into Washington Territory. It is be-
lieved that, wishing to rid the country Of
Chinese. trades and labor, organizations
have combined to assist them in working
their way into United States territory,
knowing that once arrested there they
cannot be returned to Canada.

tory are adopting the same plan.

MINING LOCATIONS.
Nine New Locations in the Sweet Grass Min
ing District.

Within the last few days the following
new mining locations have been filed
with the recorder of Choteau county:
Mountain Chief, Summit, Confusion, Do
main, Proctor, Darwin, VIM. Hershel, Su-
perior and Berlin; all in the East Butte
mining district The mines are located
and claimed by Mr. James Ross and 9th
ers.
It will be remembered that a short
time ago we noted the arrival of Messrs.
James Ross and Horace Clark with speci-
mems of rich copper and silver ore from
that district. These are the mines from
which the ore was taken and they prom
ise to become bonanzas in the near future.
Messrs Ross and Lewis are now in the
city on their way back to the mines for
the purpose of developing them.
The copper and silver showings from
the Sweet Grass are immense, and we
predict that the best quartz mining camp
in the territory Will be the result of these
discoveries

The Political Pot.

It is reported that Commodore Power,
who was not in the deal made at Livings-
ton, will be troublesome factor in the
fight for delegate to congress, with Bur
leigh and Carter as strong allies. Can
Col. Eaton deliver the goods?-Missoula
Gazette.
There is growing feeling among dem
ocrats that either Stapleton or John r.
Toole will be the democratic candidate to
congress. Either one would sweep the
territory.
A campaign bon mot sprung upon the
unsuspecting public by the democrats in
the procession at Indianapolis: Grand
pas pants will not fit Bennie."
A good many eastern Montana demo
Gratis who drop into Helena occasionally
talk favorably of Hon. Alfred Meyers as
the best man for the delegate nomination.
Declining seems to be the order Of the
day in Helena. Carter and Burlelgh de-
cline to be nominated for delegate, and
Col. McCutcheon declines to be a candi
date for governor.
Belva Lockwood charges fee for ad-
mission to her ratification meetings. AS
she has declared her determination to
"strip for the fight" it may not be an un-
profitable venture.
Some of our eastern exchanges are
quarreling almost viciously over the is
sues of the campaign Of 1840 We do not
understand that that campaign has any
bearing on the present one. Stick to the
text, gentlemen. It is tariff reform, anti
Chinese and pro-silver on the one hand;
free whiskey, free tobacco, dear food and
dear clothing, free Chinese immigration
and anti-silver on the other. Choose
your weapons and pitch in.--Miner.

The New French Rifle.

London Telegraph: According to all
accounts the new "Lebe rifle" is Won
drous weapon, and is destined to do ter
rible things in the hands of the French
soldiers. The members Of the Academy
of Medicine, wishing to diagnose the ply
s1cal consequences of wounds inflicted by
the bullet of the gun, recently had expe-
riments made on twenty corpses, proba
bly, those of paupers whom nobody owned
or those of ill-fated waits picked up at
the morgue. The bodies we're placed at
the ordinary firing distances, from 200
yards up to a mile or so. The bullets
whizzed through the bones and pierced
them without fracturing them, as is done
by the bullets of the "Gras rifle" The
wounds, if they may be called so, which
were inflicted were small in their pune
lures, and consequently very dangerous
and difficult to heal. Injuries inflicted at
short distances were so considerable that
in the opinion of the surgeons, they
would be almost incurable, At the long
est range-2,OOO meters-a poplar tree
was hit, but the bullet, which impelled
a certain quantity of air before it, did not
go through the tree. At 1,20O meters the
tree was pierced through and through.
The discharges of the rifle are unaecom-
panied by smoke, and the reports are com
paratively feeble.

Passed the House.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-phe house was
crowded this morning in view of the ex-
pected vote on the Mills tariff bill. AS
the hour for the vote approached, the ex-
citement was intense. Members hurried
to their seats and messengers were sent
to rally those who were absent. No Sc
rious attempt was made on either side to
retard the voting and the roll was called
amid breathless attention. Finally the
announcement was made that the bill had
