While knocking around the streets about

MINER man dropped into q dive located
not more than q block from the corner OF

The sight he saw is worth describing.
Three gambling games were in full blast

The table was surrounded by players,
some Of whom we're Cinnamon, some
darkeys, some white men-or at least
they had been white some time in their
lives, yet it would take considerable soap
and water to develop that fact now.
They were all punched together, each

At the poker table sat seven PERSONS
three darkeys, three white men and the

side their white brethren, the color line
being relegated to innocuous dessuetude.
At the other faro table several women
were playing among the rat-eaters, darkeys
and white men. The room was filled with
the vilest kind of cigarette smoke, and
that, together with the smell that emanated
from the carcasses of those who believe

Cheyenne stockmen Organizing 8 Raid ON
the Prairie Pests.
Cheyenne, Wyo., August 6 special: For a
long time past ranchmen within twenty
miles, but particularly east and south, have
been pestered by herds OF prairie wolves.
A juicy thoroughbred calf or a sucking colt
were at any and alltimes a target for them,
and young stock Of this description have
frequently disappeared. Lately much old
er stock has been killed by these pests and
the ranchmen have determined to rid the
country OF them.
A hunt has been organized for q week
from tomorrow. 1t will include some of
the best known cattlemen OF the city, and
starting from the Perry Organ ranch just
east OF town will work the country for q
distance of twenty miles. 1t is intended
to be q wolf drive. II possible none will
be killed on the open prairie. They will be
driven to their dens in the rocks, and when
the party assemblies will be smoked out
and slaughtered. Great sport is eagerly
looked for.

not a few parts Of California. Feed was

MURDERED At FIsH SPRING.
An Indian Said to Have Been Killed for
Being Able to Read and Write.


The Inyo Independent" OF last Satur.
day rays: An Indian known as Bronco
Jim was murdered by other Indians at
Fish Spring last Wednesday night. Jim
q q very intelligent Indian, over six feet
tsll, straight 10 an arrow aud Of
very courteous manners. He had given
up his tribal relation. located a fine
piece of land at Fish Spring, and made a
comfortable home for himself and family.
He spoke English well and could write his
name and write a little. Many OF the
other Indians hated him bitterly because
he tried to acquire civilized habits and
urged Others to do the same. He was
formerly q medicine man. against his
own inclination and common sense; but the
custom Of his tribe compelled the drawer Of
the black bean TO bow to the inevitable.
Several years ago, having lost three pa
tiente, which is the limit. he was required
by custom to rally his friends and defend
his life, which he refused to do. dis enc
mics have ever since been watching for a
chance to assassinate him. They were led
in the conspiracy by two red-handed
murderers named Nose and Squirrel
eye Charley. These two have been
concerned in similar crimes upon sew
eral previous occasions, and are con.
considered bad Indians at Big Pine, the
scene OF most OF their crimes. This muir
der should not be allowed to go unpun-
ished; the real motive for the crime is to
discourage the Indians from absolving
allegiance to the tribe; abandoning the
habits of barbarism and becoming civil
lied. The white people Of the Valley had
kindly regards for poor Jim and they
should punish his murderers. He wal
aged about 80 years. He had q wife and
one child-a boy.
DR.. Woodlin made a post norton exam
nation of Jim. He had been shot through
the head from behind. It is alleged that an
Indian named Japo is the murderer.
Under-sheriff Yaney went in pursuit ofhim,
he having disappeared from Fish Spring
the same evening OF the murder.
Coroner Parker held an inquest and the
verdict OF the jury was that deceased was
murdered by ar Indian named Japo.

N OF n DAY.

A well-Founded Rumor Going the Round,
hat p. p. Shelby Will Soon Cease to Be
General Manager of the Montana Cen.
tral.
A rumor is current that a change lie
about to take place in the management oil
the Montana Central. P. P. Shelby, gen.
eral manager OF the road, il is said. is to
be superseded by Mr.. Ives, formerly of the
Manitoba system. The rumor further
states that Mr.. Shelby will accept a posi-.
ton with the Manitoba road and will make
his headquarters at St. Paul. If the
rumor proves true, and there ia every
reason to believe that it will, the general
Office OF the Montana Central, which is now
located at Helena, will be removed to st.
Paul. Such a change in the affairs OF the
road will make Butte, for the present at
least, the western terminus OF the Manitoba
system, which will give the greatest camp
on earth through trains to St. Paul.
President Hill, general manager OF the
Manitoba, arrived last night in his special
car, but it was impossible to corner the
gentleman long enough to ascertain just
what the rumor amounted to. 1t is GER
tain that a change OF some kind is in con-
temptation, as the presence OF President
Hill in the city is evidence Of that fact.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Members of the State Board of Agriculture
Not in Sympathy with Plans Outlined.

1t has been intimated that the bill which
passed the last Legislature appropriating
5000 for a series of farmers Institutes in
the various counties of the State Is being
manipulated in the interest of the Demo-
cratic free-trade organization. If this is
the case, it is not likely that the scheme
will be very successful, inasmuch as there
is very little prospect at present of farmers
Institutes being held under that particular
bill. The legislation, 1t is said. was
secured under the direction of the
Democratic managers, and the first
act of the commission appointed under it
was to appoint Prof. w. &. Latta, of Pur-
due, as a lecturer and general superintend-
emit, at a salary of some 81 800 per annum.
The next movement was TO call upon the
members of the Board of Agriculture to
organize the Institutes In their several dis
tricts, preside over them. and aid in collect
ing money in the vicinity of each one to
assist in defraying the expenses of each
meeting. To this proposition the MEM
beers of the Board of Agriculture very
promptly demurred. They argued in the
stitutes were to be held would naturally
With With their direction. and would
not care to have outsiders, either of
members of the State Board of Agriculture
or of the commission come in and assume
control Secondly member of the board
going into community and irving to
raise money for one of the farmers insti-
tutes mentioned in the bin would natural
ly be met with an inquiry as to why money
was wanted from private citizens when
the State had made an appropriation of
5000 Tor that very purpose. Foc these
