Looks More Peaceful.

MIssoULA. June 25.-[Special to the In
dependent. THE train bringing Capt.
Sloane and his company ust arrived.
The party was relieved by Col Lawson
and his troops and consequently returned
to Missoula. Your correspondent who
went to JOckO on the p. IN. special, found
everything quiet and but few Indians In
sight, though the hills a few miles back
from the depot are reported to be filed
with the reds, who are gathering up their
stock, either preparatory TO leaving there-
or making fight in case an attempt Is
made TO take the two murderers, whom the
sheriff went after. Agent Roman and Capt.
Merchant, Of the interior department, had
several consultations with the chiefs To-
day and they now think the murderers will
be surrendered without further trouble.
Sheriff Heyfron, with two deputies, re-
mained with Capt Lawson's command at
RavAlli, and assert their intention to bring
iD their men at all hazards.
From consultation with members Of the
hrst pOsse who accompanied the sheriff IL
was learned that but one Indian was killed
and under the following circumstances:
When the sheriff arrived at RavalIi Sun
day morning, he found that the two In
dians he was in search OF had left the place
only few minutes before, and had ridden
west along the railroad. Accordingly the
posse boarded freight train and on over
taking party OF reds stopped the train
and got OF, when an Indian started 70 run.
He was called to halt. which be finally did,
but raised his rife to his shoulder 20 FIRE,
when the crack marksman. James ConIey,
OF Deer Lodge. raised his rife and fired,
dropping his man; but he Immediately re-
gained his feet and fired three times at the
party, who opened on their mar with a
fusilade, three nole balls striking him.
from which he died Monday night At
this iuncture the posse was fired upon by
party Of about thirty Indians from the east,
and seeing that they were outnumbered
beat hasty retreat to the freight train,
and went to Horse Plains, whers they tele-
graphed for assistance.
A special train that passed through from
Horse Plains to Raviln was fred upon
Monday evening, one ball passing through
the cab of the engine. Further than this
no shots have been exchanged and As the
troops are now on the ground il is thought
the trouble will cease. The Indian who
was killed was the stepfather OF one Of the
murderers and himself killed an Indian on
the reservation about q year ago. The
general presumption Is that by tomorrow
the fugitives, who are reported not more
than i've miles distance from RAvsIIi, will
be in the custody Of the sheriff and an
other uprising Of the Flstheads will be
thing of the past

ANACONDA. June 25.-tSpeciAl 10 the In
dependent. l-Advices late tonight from
Georgetown, over the Rocky Mountain tel
| egraph wires, state that a fisherman living
near there returned late this afternoon
from ten-days' hunt on Rock creek in the
mountains, about fifteen miles from
Georgetown, and about the same distance
from Philipsburg. He says that on last
Wednesday night, while preparing his sup
per st his camp, Perry, whom be knew,
rode up, and after some casual cOnversa-
ton asked II he could share his blankets
with him that night. The fisherman, not
knowing anything of the murder of Nc
Coy, cordiG Nvited him to alight, and
after sharing his trout and coffee with
Perry, of which the latter ate most vora-
ciously, they smoked a pipe or two and then
turned IN Early the next morning Perry
bade him goodbye and rode away, and it
was not until yesterday, on his way back
to the settlements, that the fisherman
learned of McCOy's murder. Tonight an
other man, whose name your correspondent
could not learn, came into Georgetown
from the same vicinity and reported that
one of the deputy sheriffs, who has been
on still hunt for Perry since last Tues
day, discovered his hiding place on Rock
creek yesterday. Returning and collecting
posse he, early this morning, surrounded
Perry's lair and is gradually narrowing
his circle. 1t is believed that Perry has
with him two horse thieves who are known
TO infest those regions, and the particulars
of bloody fight are momentarily expected
at Georgetown. Further particulars could
not be obtained tonight, but several men
have gone from Georgetown to the scene,
and some of them are expected back to-
morrow afternoon.

Park County Collects Some Road Tax and
Few Fines.
LIVINGSTON, June 25.-[Specisl to the
Independent THE forty Italian labOrers
on the Cokedale branch, for whom war
rants were issued yesterday for refusing to
pay their road tax, were brought 10 Liv-
ingstOn this morning and had their hearing
before Probate Judge Clifford. Twelve of
the number, il was found, were not liable
to road tax, being over IS or under q years
old. The remsining twenty eight were
fined five dollars and costs, which with the
three dollars road tax made a totnl of
eighteen dollars and ninety cents for each
to pay. 1t has been an unusually difficult
task 20 collect road tax in this vicinity this
year, and it is hoped the example made Of
the Italians will have wholesome effect.
There is some talk that their case would
be appealed, but as it would neeessitate
their remaining over until the fall term of
court and giving bonds, il is not likely this
will be done.

pleasure at the prospect Of meeting her

Will has renamed in stAtu quo nearly all
day. Early this morning Capt. Sloane tel
egraphed from Arlee for 1000 rounds Of
ammunition, which was Immediately sent
to the volunteers at RavAlii. al which point
Sloane's company remained until p. M.
when they moved 70 Joeko, about four
miles beyond. A dispatch was sent 70 this
place at that time which in substance was
as follows:
1.-The wounded Indian died this morning;
the situation grows more serious; our boys
are cheerful, but not over anxious for
fight" At4p. N. Col. Lawson left this
point on a special train with three com
panies Of the Twenty fifth infantry. COM
panies II, and G with full quota OF
officers and rations for several days. The
troops were expected to arrive at Jocko be-
tween 5 and o'clock.
ATOP. m. the situation is unchanged at
Ravalli. The troops arrived at 4.SO D. m,
and are camped near the Indians. The
sheriff's posse, except seven, returned to
Missoula at p. M, leaving the military to
assist the sheriff in arresting the murder
ers. The sherif's posse of seEenty-five
men spent all day trying to find the In
diAnS wanted, but without success. There
are now 800 Indians encampec near RavAlM
who swear they will not give up the mur-

hanged at 10 O'Clock. The crime for which
he paid the penalty was committed Octo-

master for Contractor Charles McFadden,
accompanied by Hugh Flanagan, stable
boss, was driving from Wilkesbarre to the
railroad camp above the Miners Mills with
Sl2 900 intended TO pay off the workmen.
Michael Rizzelo, GuiZepo Beviereno and
VinOseo Vellalli lay in wait on a lonely
mountain road, expecting the arrival OF
Mcclure and Flanagan. On their ap-
proach Rizzelo fired three shots into Flanni-
gan, killing him. Beviereno shot Mcclure
twice, killing him. Although Mike and
his companions were suspected and ar
rested, they were discharged and soon
after left the city, going TO Poughkeepsie,
taking with them their plunder, $1,000.
Beverino and Vallalli suddenly escaped to
Italy with their booty. Later evidence
was secured which led to Mixes arrest,
confession and conviction.
RiZZelo's last night on earth was spent In
prayer. He refused to pSrtake of break
fast, taking only cup of milk, saying to
the sheriff that he was ready and TO hurry
his work without any delay as he was
prepared TO die. He was courageous to the
last. His neck was not broken and he
died hard of strangulatiOn.

Cronin Inquiry at Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 25.-The special grand
jury, after having devoted several days to
other matters, will tomorrow return TO the
Cronin case. An inkling as to the pro-
gramme, particularly as to Alexander Sui
livsn, was asked of States Attorney Long
enecker tonight
"There will be a good deal of fishing
was alI the official would say. Longeneeker
does not appear TO be very greatly i'm
pressed with the elaborate reports which
have been given out as in a measure cor
rOborating the story that there were
two formal trials of DIR. Cronin held in
Camp No. 20, and that il was
decreed that the doctor should be put out
of the way for getting information which
was desired by the London Times and
which had tendency to injure Parnell.
The states attorney is quoted saying.
This camp No. 20 business is the only
theory which l am trying to work out
There is nothing new in il, and an old
story has simply been rewoven around the
small fact that certain man called at my
Office yesterday morning."
Camp No. 20, the states attorney learned
to-day, has within the past week been dis
banded. Edward Spellman. president of
the whisky trust, who Is the chief officer of
the Clan-na- Gael for the district of Illinois
and Michigan, was subpHnaed tonight 10
explain the reason for the disbandment.
The breaking up of the camp at this time
is not pleasing to the states-attorney.
