eatly Cauaht.

II ia always II pleasure to record the
detection and capture Of parties guilty
Of the heineous oflonse of selling hq-
uor to Indians, and the public
will doubtless be glad to learn that
another CT these despicable offenders
against the welfare Of the community
has beeu brought to justice. The
guilty party was VIC Gray, who talks
like foreigner and acts like crafty
hypocrite. II seems that about o'clock
yesterday afternoon Constable Griffin
noticed Gray talking with an Indian
in front of Brownies block. The Off
Ger had long suspected Gray Of selling
liquor TO Indians aud proceeded to
watch him. After short conversa-
ton with the red-skin, Gray departed
up Post street but soon returned, and
As he passed the Indian, slapped his
pocket and nodded his head in u sig
uiticant way; then strOlled along Riv.
ersde avenue till he reached Mill
street, down which he turned. Mean
while the crafty denizen Of the forest
crossed the street and followed the
trail with the avidity of II blood hound
and last oi all came the officer shad-
owing both the cuipri,s. Gray turned
into the alley next the Montana Ex-
Exchange and entered one Of
the numerous out buildings in
that vicinity. Stealthily the
naughty savage followed and with
uuerring instinct entered the same
building, from which he Room emerged
with gleam Of savage JOY in his dark
eyes. He at once headed up Howard
street but in the vicinity Of the rail
road was overtaken be Griffin, and re-
lieved Of bottle vi fire water which lie
was hugging under his blanket.
Gray was at once arrcyted and taken
before Judge Snyder. He made I"
very lame defense, and Was fined x25
aud costs, which amount was pro;uptly
paid by his partner.
Selling liquor to indians lie like put
Ting loaded pistol in the hands Of u
child, and sooner or later serious
trouble will inevitably result. 1t would
bea a good thing ii everyone found
guilty Of the oflcnse could be run out

Of this, the most horrible tragedy in

The bodies of Mills and Andrew

There were two wounds on the body

was in kneeling position for the rur-
pose OF reaching for his gun, and
grasped it about the time he was first
shot. He Immediately rose to his feet,
but Mt the next instant received his
death wound by q bullet in the chest,

will be remembered that this body was

brother. Reaching the point where
the body was found he pulled himself
to II standing pr sition by holding to a
tree. Evidently the cords of life
snapped at this supreme exertion, and
he fell backwards ACROSS the fallen tree
dead, US the snow showed the
! impression OF the entire body
as its weight sunk into the yielding
surface, From the surroundings and
from all the evidence to be gathered,
it is almost beyond question that the
beginning of the shooting, brief and
terrible as it was, occurred at the point
where Andrew Clark was first struck,
and that Mills opened the battle, and
after shooting IA ndrew, without recelv-
ing IL shot in return, he stepped some
tifty-fOur feet directly forward to the
brow OF the hill behind which the
younger was supposed to be. From
that vantage ground he discovered
Clark some 1872 feet below him and inn
