Colville agency and will leave probably
to. morrow for Kootenai to provide the In
dians there with the supplies which he se-
cured for them during his recent visit to
Washington
Major Gwydir says the Indian police on
the Coville reservation are on the lookout
for bad Indian who killed the son-in. law
of chief year ago, and who afterwards
murdered white man near Ruby. The
renegade has been concealed in the moun
tains most of the time since. and owing to
the rough nature of the country il has
been impossible to take him. He has
gathered around him a dozen young
braves who 20 around painted up and
scare people with their demoniac yells and
rar.ike demonstrations. Major Gwydir
has instructed his Indian police to capture
this murderer and his band of marauders,
even il it is necessary TO weight them
down with cold lead in order to bring
them TO time. The Indian police are
crafty fellows, and the major says it is
only a question of time when they will
bag their game.
