Great Falls Leader: During the pro-
gress of the Gttz trial Thursday afternoon
a young man arrived from Helena, and in
a great state of excitement called out the
Probate Judge from the court room
telling him that it was case of urgent
necessity. Upon investigation the young
man was found to bc the Hon Andrew F.
Burleigh, the talented young orator, and
Ins object was the procuring Of a marriage
license for himself. The judge could not
allow such meritorious purpose to be
frustrated, SO he interrupted the proceed
ing of the court for five or ten minutes
until the marriage license could be made
out, when Burleigh proceeded to the res
idcnce of Rev. F. A. Riggin and in few
minutes was made happy benedict.
His bride was Miss Carrie Virtricss, of
Iowa, who arrived on the afternoon train
from ST. Paul. She is said to be very
beautiful and accomplished young lady.
At the Fort Peck Indian agency on
Sunday Pretty Boy, Yankton Sioux,
while intoxicated made murderous at
tack on his sqnaw. He felled her to the
ground with blow from club and then
jumped on the body and attempted to
scalp her. Several Indian police seized
him, but he broke away and running to
his tepee seized Winchester rifle with
which he opened fire on the police, in
stantly killing two and wounding third.
He then proceeded to where the squaw
! was lying and shot the top of her head
off, This done the mad buck attempted
to escape, firing repeatedly at the Indian
police who pursued him. Finding escape
impossible he halted about IA mile from
the agency and shot himself through the
heart. The affair created great excite
ment and had it not been for the presence
of two companies of the goth infantry,
who interfered, general fight would
have occurred. Investigation is in pro
gress to ascertain who supplied the Indian
with liquor. and if the party can be To-
Gated he will be severely dealt with.
A Butte dispatch to the Helena Indie
pendent dated the 12th says: Suit was
commenced to- day in the district court
by A. j. Davis, president of the First
National bank, against County Treasurer
Kessler for the recovery Of $4,000 which
Davis paid on taxes On the capital stock
of the bank, but did so under protest.
Among the allegations and grounds for
the complaint are that the stock should
have been listed and valued by the as
SCISSOR on June /, 1888, whereas it was not
listed and valued until Aug. 2, 1888 that
the assessor when he did list it, value
the Stock at 5000 per share; also that said
assessor, after the assessment roll had
been made out and certified to, as the
plaintiff is informed and believes, con
spired with the board of county commiss-
toner's to increase the assessed value of
the stock and the tax thereon without
notice tu plaintiff, increase the value placed
upon sad stock at time the same was
listed and valued the same at $5S7,S2 per
share The plaintiff was not fully in
formed of these acts of the assessor at the
time he paid the sum as a tax; also that
the value of said stock was increased was
vely much in advance of the actual cash
value thereof, to-wit: about the sum OF
$500, that the territorial rule for ascer
talning the value of stock makes dis
elimination against bidders; also thai
said tax was not authorized by the law:

A few days ago Acting Superintendent
McWhite went over the Park branch and
became so impressed with the growing
Importance of the business of the section
lying along the line and adjacent that
train load of iron and a large force of mel
were at once put on the road to put it il
thorough repair.
