FROM THE FLATHEAD COUNTRY.

Peaceable Indians Alarmed Over MUIR
der-A Successful Hunt at Moose
Creek.
From letter to the Helena 'Indepen.
dent" from the Flathead country we clip
the following items OF general interest:
The finding OF the body OF a Chinaman
near the Flathead agency recently who was
evidently murdered, has given the chiefs
and head men of the tribes great deal OF
uneasiness, as it is supposed the murder
was committed by Indians. Council was
called at the house OF Chief Arlee on Sat
urday last. and Michel, chief OF the Pend
d 'Oreilles, was present and made stirring
speech. He demanded that every effort be
made by the Indians to find out who the
murderer is, and If an Indian, to appre.
hend him and turn him over to the Terri
torial authorities.
Last week fourteen lodges of Piegan In
dians from the Blackfoot Agency arrived at
the Flathead Agency. Their camp consists
OF ninety people.
Oyusts Finley. halfbreed, belonging to
the Flathead Agency, returned this week
from a successful hunt OF few days at
Moose Creek, across the range from Cedar
Creek in Missoula county. He killed three
bears, six elk, ten beavers, one moose, and
succeeded in capturing young moose,
which he lassoed and tied it's legs and left it
some distance from camp with the intention
to bring it in and take it to the agency. In
it's struggles it freed itself and was seen flee
ing over the mountains with q portion OF
the rope around its neck.
Major Roman states that since the build
ing OF the Northern Pacific railroad through
the reservation, that company has paid
out the sum of $1,146.5O to individual
Indians for stock killed and injured on the
Flathead reservation. The major adds
that the Indian claims, in all cases re-
ported, have met with prompt and honor
able settlement by Mr.. D. K. Ford. the
general claim OF the Northern Pacific rail-
road.

Personal Nature.

A Stranger In Anaconda Ends His Life
Personal Nature.
On Monday last three Englishmen arrived
in Anaconda from Granite. One OF them
named John Barrett went to the California
House, kept by John Williams. About
B O'Clock Tuesday evening the three men
went into a saloon where Barrett told his
companions that he had taken a dose OF
morphine. His friends laughed at him and
paid no attention to what he said. They
separated soon afterward Barrett going to
the California House where he went up
stairs without the knowledge OF any one
about the place, entered one of the rooms
and after taking off his hat, coat, vest and
shoes lay down on the bed. There he was
found in dying condition at 10
O'Clock that night. Everything possible
was done to counteract the effects of the
poison, but without success, as he died on
Wednesday morning at 2o'clock. The two
friends that were with the suicide say that
he acted as though he was a little off on
Monday, but on Tuesday he seemed all
right. Mr.. Williams telephoned yesterday
to friends OF the deceased at Butte, some OF
whom came to this city last night. 1t is
said he was member of some society in
Butte that will make arrangements for his
funeral. The body was taken to the Butte
Furniture Company's undertaking rooms
yesterday.

CRUSHED By FALLING ROCK.
Accident in the Gagnon Mine by Which
james Constant Met His Death.

James Constant Met His Death.
About 7:3O o'clock yesterday morning
James Constant, d miner in the Gagnon,
met his death in stope above the 500
level by piece OF rock, weighing about 200
pounds, falling upon hiA, and injuring him
SO that he died within couple OF hours.
The Gagnon is one of the best timbered
mines in the camp. The rule there is that
every miner shall have all the timber he
needs and no one is permitted to work in
any part OF the mine if it has the least ap-
pearance OF being unsafe. The stope in
which Constant was working was stulled to
within three feet OF where he received the
injury that caused his death. He was
shoveling and STOPPING over when the rock
fell from the hanging wall. 1t came
down on his Left side and shoulder,
and crushed him to the floor. He was
Immediately released and Brought to the
surface and taken to the office in the hoist
ing orks, where physician was imme-
diately summoned and put bandage
about him. The only injury apparently
was some ribs broken, but he complained
OF severe pain in the right side after the
bandage was wrapped around him. he
never lost his senses and could converse
without pain Wlbn bnObe bSOA1 niu. IL law
when he was brought up he had no appear
ance OF being seriously hurt. according to
the foreman, who saw him then. He was
taken to his home in the Anchor House,
at the corner of Wyoming and Quartz, and
he gradually sank until he died, about 10
O'Clock.
An inquest was held about 2 o'clock at
which several witnesses were examined and
the jury returned verdict IN accordance
with the facts completely exonerating the
Gagnon Company from any blame In the
transaction. 1t was one OF those una
yoidable accidentslto which miners are ex-
posed by the yicissit,ides OF their occupa-
tion. The greatest care exercised by the
most yigilant superintendent or foreman

Livington, M. T., special to the Helena
"Independent": About midnight Tuesday.
by the upsetting OF lamp. a fire originated
at the Northern Pacific depot and the dis
patchers' Office and in the Western Union
Telegraph company's Office here, all OF
which were destroyed in a very short time.
The wires OF both companies were burned,
but connection with the outer world was
soon re-established in shack near by and
communication was resumed with outside
points.
The loss will be between four and five
thousand dollars, which, like all company
property, is covered by a blanket insur.
ance policy on the usual basis.
The depot caught fire at 11:25 p. IN. A
lamp in the telegraph Office exploded
throwing oil over the hooks full OF papers.
The operator and dispatcher tried to put
the fire out, but it spread SO fast that they
barely got out themselves. Everything in
the upper part of the building was lost.
The baggage, express and tickets, however,
were saved from below.

THE COREY MURDER.
The Preliminary Examination of Dough-

The Preliminary Examination of Dough-
erty Dragging Its Slow Length Along.
The preliminary examination of William
Dougherty, charged with the murder of
AL. Corey, occupied the time OF Judge
Lippincott copiously yesterday. The ex-
animation began in the Police Court at
9 a. M, but the bad ventilation OF that
room was quickly made evident by the
large crowd in attendance to hear it and
the afternoon session was held in the
District Court room which was crowded
with spectators. Twenty.seven witnesses
were examined for the prosecution yester-
day by County Attorney Dewitt and Mr..
George Haldorn. the latter being retained
by the friends of fCorey, and cross-examined
by Mr.. Duffy OF Campbell & Duffy who are
retained for the defence. The testimony
gone over was much the same as was given
at the Corey inquest. No new facts were
developed. There seemed a singular in
ability on the part OF most of the witnesses
to remember seeing knife in the hand OF
the defendant aud in some instances a re-
luctance to identify him as Corey's as
sailaut. Evidence that Corey pursued the
defendant with pistol was profuse, how
ever.
The examination was adjourned to 8 q.
m. Friday to permit the prosecution to
procuie the attendance of Mr.. Gallagher,
Dougherty being placed under 1000
bail, in default OF which he is in jail.
The examination promises to be as
tedious as a regular trial. According to a
ruling of Judge Mcconnell. the committing
magistrate must be satisfied that there is
evidence sufficient to convict by trial
jury before he can hold the defendant for
the grand jury. The defence have right
to introduce their witnesses, and Mr.. Duffy
says they ha nearly Fifty whom he will
put upon the stand. And all this expense
is only preliminary, The witnesses viii.

Judge Lippincott concludes to hold Dough
erty, and again before the petit jury il the
case comes to trial. No wonder the county
roads are in q deplorable condition, with
the county revenues eaten up by the cost
of prosecuting criminals.

she Administsrs Morphine for Quinins
with Fatal Results.

st. Joseph special: The fatal mistake ol
q mother, which caused the death Of one
child and all but killed another, was made
known Sunday. Mrs. Tom Hart, living at
Fourth and Oak streets, was giving her
children quinine treatment for ague.
Friday night, just before the children were
to be put to bed, the mother took what she
thought was the quinine bottle and gave
the children large dose. Within q few
moments tae daughter grew black in the
face, with all the symptoms OF morphine
poisoning, and in an hour was dead, all
treatment failing to revive her or cause her
to recover consciousness. The boy was
not taken in the same manner. He became
drawsy, and symptoms OF coming spasms.
He was walked constantly until morning,
and il now out OF danger. The little girl
was buried Sunday.
The mother states that she had NOR
phine and qninine in the house in bottles
almost the same size and shape, and in the
semi-darkness took the morphine bottle.
