WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Col. Marcus
ID. l.. Simpson. assistant commissary
general of subsistence in the army, COM
pleted his siXty-fourth year yesterday,
and was placed on the retired list. The
promotions that follow his retirement
leave captaincy vacant, and there are
no less than sixty applications now on
file for the place. However, the ap-
pointment will not go to any one of the
sixty. The president is determined that
it shall go to some one of the first lieu
tenants who have had long time of serv-
ice without promotion, and, with that
end in view, he has asked to have the
commandants of departments report to
him the most deserving men in their
commands who are eligible.

CONFLICTING CRIMINAL LAWS.
How an Indian Murderer Escaped Punish
ment.

HELENA. Mont, Sept. 25.-The recent
killing of the half-breed Koonska by a
Kallispel Indian, on the Flathead reserva-
tion, has served to call attention to the
ease with which an aboriginal murderer
may escape justice or severe punishment,
owing to the conflict of the Indian laws
with those Of the United States,
and, as long as the present condl-
ton OF affairs exist, the savage may
take human life with impunity. if a
court of his own people should try and
acquit him before the American officials
could get hold of him. koonska has al
ways been regarded as bad Indian. de
has terrified all the reservation Indians for
the past ten years, and, when he made the
attack on the Ka.lispel and was shot
through the heart and killed, there was
general rejoicing among the tribes.
About six years ago Koonska created
sensation in the Flathead country by the
deliberate murder of Frank Marlngo,
half-breed Indian who resided near
the Flathead agency with his
wife. Marriage was the interpreter
ut Fort Missoula during Josephs
Nez Perces war, and was living a quiet
and peaceful life at the time of his death.
koOnska became infatuated with the wife
OF Marriage. He came to the latters tent
one day and deliberately killed him with
gun. Then pointing it at the wife he or
dered her, under penalty of death, TO
mount his horse and go with him Inc
woman refused to do so and and hoonska
raised his gun, which was seized by The
woman. a desperate struggle ensued Tor
the possession, and the weapon fell TO the
ground. KOonska then fed to the noun
tains where, well mounted and heavily
armed, he eluded and defed arrest.
A Of indiana finally him down
and he was taken before Chief Arlee and
given tnal, under the tribal laws, with
out consulting Agent Roman, and sentenc-,
ed to a short term in the reservation, and
to paw a fine of ten head of horses. The
agent, indignant at the proceedings, took
possession of the prisoner, when Chief Ar
lee came before him and informed him
of the decision of the council, which had
been concurred in by Chief Michel, of the
Pend d'Oreilles, and Immediately placed
handouts upon him and conveyed him to
Missoula and delivered him into the hands
of the authorities. He was tried
Il few months afterward at
Deer Lodge, before Judge Gal
braith, who threw the case out OF court on
the ground that, under the ruling of the
United States laws, Koonska could not be
be arraigned again after having been tired
by the Indian laws and placed in Jeopardy
and Judgment rendered. Koonska was
turned loose, and has ever since been
firing, gambling. lighting and boasting OF
killing another man in addition to
Maringo The crime of murder has on
more than one occasion been committed
by Indians since the acquittaI OF koonSka
by the United States court and escaped
punishment, the agent being powerless to
act because Of Judge Galbralth's decision.
