The Troublesome FIatheadS,

No further hostilities have occurred on tn.
Flathead reservation. The whole trouble
originated from renegades of the tribe, who
hang around railroad stations and do moth

offers. The great majority of the Flathead
Indians are on the mountain sides in bands
near Ravllla watching the movements of the
troops and awaiting the decision ofthe coun-
Gil OF chies. II it is decided to turn over the
murderers the trouble will end at once. II

He states that kochet, the Indian
killed was the murderer of DemerS book
keeper and also OF the Indian kOOnsaur on
the reservation. The pOw.wOw has ended,
and the chiefs have refused to do anything
without orders from headquarters. The
sheriff thinks the only way now to capture
the men without an open war is for the
government to offer a reward. II this is
done many half-hreeds on the reserve will en-
trap the men. The sheriff has SO far acted

She Thought They Were Snakes.

One of our townsmen relates that
a friend of his, while stopping at the
seashore, caught number of very
fine eels, and thought it would be
nice if they could be brought home.
1t was difficult to find just the best
means of transportation, but IN old
oil cloth covered hand bag was pro-
cured, and the eels placed in ii. The
man boarded the train, and placed
the carpet bag under the seat, and
thought nothing more of it until
some time after the train had started,
when suddenly a woman who sat
about four seats in front of him
jumped up OH the seat, drawing up
her skirts, and yelled "Snakes!" The
man looked that way, and saw one
of the largest of his cells slowly wrig-
Cling across the car, and, as there
was by this time q general commo-
tion throughout the car, he picked
up the gripsaek, and, remarking that
che did not care to stay in a eur
where the conductor allowed snakes
to run about the floor" made his
way to the smoker, and has never
heard yet whether the "snake" was
caught or notwithstanding Ameri-
can.

The trial of Beckman and Peterson for the

people from abroad was noted. John Date,
called by the state, told substantially the

He said he did not tell Collins all the story

he was afraid of Bcckman and Peterson. The

Tricks Among Telegraphers.

Speaking OF country town tel

reminds me Of a story on myself
| was the student of the railway
station in small New Jersey town
when an old timer came down there
to work a wire in the division SUPER
intendent's Office, which was Just
across the track in another building
Zone day | answered call on my
instrument and got message from
Master Mechanic McMartin, who
lived down the track sixty miles,
asking me rs a personal favor to
take the handcar and go down the
road about three miles to the farm
of j. Bird, where | would get 500
strawberry plants. He wanted me
to bring them to the station and
send them down by the evening ex-
press. Now McMartin was in special
favor with me- had two brothers
working under him, and | naturally
thought he was a great man. So
said would do it.
81 went home got a big clothes
basket, rolled out the handcar, and
with one OF the boys that always
hang around country depot started
out to find the farm of J. Bird. [
had never heard of any such person,
but thought I might have
overlooked him. So I pumped away
upa long grade until IreckOned Ihad
gone at least three miles. Then |
hailed n man in a field and asked
him where J. Bird lived. He said
there WASH any such man around
there-might live farther west; so l
went on couple of miles until [
found another man, and he was at
least half mile away in a plowed
field. So [ fioundered over that
stretch OF broken ground and asked
him where to find the farm of J.
Bird. He said he had lived in that
county thirty years, and that no
such person had ever been in it so far
as he knew-there was no such man
in that immediate section, anyway.
Il went back to the handcar in q
quandry. ] would have gone farth-
er west, though I was already be-
tween eight and nine miles from
town, and my han s from pumping
the handcar were blistered fearfully,

positive statement that no such
man lived anywhere around. Final
ly concluded that there had been
some mistake and started back. 1t
was mighty hard work and my hands
were awful sore, but pumped away,
and at last rolled up to the depot.
There was a great crowd of young
fellows there, and when picked up
the big clothes basket and stepped
on to tt pllttorm everybody gave
me great laugh. Then the old
time operator put his head out ofthe
window and sung out:
"'Got them strawberry plants?'

War Over Irnn Mines.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, June 81
There is a little war between the owners of
iron mines at Duluth. For several davs
H. ID. Mallet, of the firm of Nal
let & Hartmann, Duluth, has been in
the city, spending most OF his time
III the interior department. He Is one of the
parties interested in the Sioux scrip cases,
ana is opposed to reopening of the
Eaton and Merritt case which has
once been adversely decided against the
Sioux scrip holders. His present mission
Is to have u rehearing for a Chip
peWa scrip location in the iron region. The
scrip was located on valuable iron land, and
Mr. Mallet holds that it Is worthless
although the lands have passed to the Min
sulnghis work day, is Pickands of Duluth
one ofthe principals in the Minnesota Iron
company, appeared at the interior depart
ment and entered his protest against the re-
hearing. This will make general fight,
as in all probability Mallet & Hartman
will attack the title of the Minne<ot
Iron company to some OF the best
lands in the iron district, claiming that the
original settlers who made the entries and
proved up on the lands were never near
them, and obtained the first title OF theln
through fraud. This will also precipl-
tate fight of no small proper
tions, and it is iutimatcd that a rival
road to the Duluth & Iron Range may be
built TO the mines. While the contests are
pending the Iron Range company, said to be
owned Gnd controlled by the Mime
sofa Iron company, will not extend it's
line to the mines that have been opened
farther norGh. The owners of these
mines intimate that they will secure another
road. The little troub originally stirred
up by the Sioux scrip cases may develop into
cndles5 litigation over titles to the valuable
Minnesota iron mines
