ground that the defense was not self
defense. The court ruled the objection
was we'll taken. A long list of wit
nesses was then called by the defense
to show the violent conduct of COombs
while at the asylum. to show that J0hn
Dates reputation for truth and yeraclty
was bad and to testify to the good char
acter of the defense. There were about
fifteen witnesses called for those pur-
poses. and their testimony occupied
the most of the afternoon session.
1t was shown that CoOmbs had been
connected with number Of tights
with attendants and patients, and 1t
was proved that he was undoubtedly at
times dangerous man. Mr.. Wilson
made vigorous attack on Dates rep
utatiOn for truth and veracity, and
number of witnesses testified that 1T
was bad. Testimony was introduced
that probably established Peterson's
good character beyond a doubt. one OF
Beckman's witnesses, however, failed
to give him recommend. At 4:3O
EDWARD PETERSON
was put on the stand in his own defense.
He tells story so different from that OF
Date that one would scarcely recognize
it as tale told of the same affair. His
story is as follows: "On the morning OF
April we put CoOmbs and two other
room washing the calcimining off the
ceiling, while we ourselves Went to work
elsewhere. CoOmbs soon commenced
cursing and swearing, and was heard to
say: If l had a butcher knife would
cut white mans heart out. If l had
revolver would shoot turnkey He
was disturbing the other patients
OH the scatfold. Beckman called him
down and searched his pockets. We
then decided to put the mutf on him,
and each took hold of him and took him
toward the clothes room for that pur-
pose. l stopped on the way and went
into the water closet. When he got to
the clothes room Beckman had COOmbS
in the corner. l got mop handle and
struck him over the legs and broke it.
l then
JERKED cooMBs DOWN
and Beckman fell over on him. striking
COOmbS in the breast with his knees.
COombs then wanted drink, and we
let him 60 to the wash room to get it..
When he came out of the wash room he
rushed at me, and struck him in the
breast to keep him off. We then took
him and put him in the crib. l gave
him a cup of tea at dinner time. He
said he did not want anything more,
and at o'clock we found him dead" J"
Peterson said they told the story OF his
falling because they were afraid to tell
the truth. He also testified to another
instance in which he had fight with
Coombs, and he had bitten his finger
and cut his head with backing box.
and that it finally took half dozen to
control him. He will be recalled in the
morning. The case will probably go to
the jury on Friday.

On Sunday last a friend sought Hitch
cock, in company with the eart-broken
sister, to endeavor to persuade him
TO RETURN TO HIS WIFE,
who had offered to conceal his shame
and weakness in order to spare the grey
haired father OF the young girl.
Hitchcock, alias Smith, received Wis
itors at the Hotel d d'Angleterre. to whom
he said:
Marriage is failure. My wife and l are in
compatible. | love this girl, ard no matter
if she had fifty lovers. to me she is a virgin.
When the girls sister arrived he re-
fused to allow her to enter, but she
forced her way to Mrs. Smiths apart
mentS, where. with weeping and pray
ers, she implored the girl to return and
spare the family the publicity. The
always bland Hitchcock replied:
If either one of you attempt to leave this
room will shoot you both.
The elder Miss O'Halloran was OBJ
liged to return to Paris alone, in spite
of her entreaties. The Wretched girl
was followed by this parting shot from
Hitchcock:
If you return to disturb me aeain will
send an account of this to ever! paper in

The sister returned, having been
promised by her sister an interview the
following day. Early Monday morning

O'clock last night the Montana militia on

with a small posse to return with the
Indians wanted. if were surrendered.
Agent Roman and Capt. Marchand of
the Interior department, have held sew
eral consultations with the Flathead
chiefs, trying to induce them to surren-
the men wanted to the sheriff. A gent
leman just returned from Raville, gives
the following account of the fight be-
tween the sheriff and the Indians:
When the sheriff arrived at
Rayllle.. Sunday morning, he found
that the three Indians he was
in search of had left the place only
few minutes before. and had gone west
along the railroad: Accordingly the
posse boarded freight train, and on
overtaking party of reds stopped the
train and got off. when an Indian
started to run. He was ordered to halt,
which he finally did. but raised his rifle
to his shoulder to fire. when James Con-
ley raised his rifle and fired, dropping
his man. The Indian Immediately re-
gained his feet and fired three times at
the party, who opened on him with a
fusilade. three more bullets striking
him, from which he died Monday night
At this juncture the posse was fired
upon by party of about thirty Indians
from the east, and seeing that
they were outnumbered the posse
beat a hasty retreat to the
freight train, and went to Horse
Plains, where they telegraphed for as
sistance. A special train that passed
through from Horse Plains to Ravelli
was fired upon Monday evening, one
bullet passing through The cab of the
eagine. Gov. White received a tele-
gram from Sheriff Heyfron this evening
telling him that the Indians were great
ly incensed against the Northern Pacific
Railway, and are scattered along the
line of the road on the reservation, de-
elaring their intention to make an at
tack upon the first train which comes
through. The talk with the chiefs
ended this afternoon, and they positive
" refused to deliver up the murderers
to the civil authorities. The sheriff
then called on Col. Lawson for troops
but he refused to act without orders
from Department Commander Ruger..
