ARREST OF A BAD INDIAN.

Paul Henry, Occur d Alene Indian,
languishes in the Spokane county Jail
with bullet wound in his right leg.
Yesterday reporter visited him in the
Jail. Paul stated that he had shot him
self about two weeks ago INJECTING the
wound with which he is suffering.
Paul Henry is the 1udiau accused OF
numbering Mrs. Peaby on. the Occur
dAlene reservation two years ago. lie
had his trial at Ra,hdrum, Idaho, and
got clear for the reason that there was
not sufficient evidence against him to
convict. Knowing that Major Gwyder
had some knowledge of this Indians re.
cent exploits in horse stealing, the repor.
ter sought the major, but found him very
reticent about the affair. However, the
reporter CLEANED the facts that Major
Gwyder captured this Indian near the
DeSmet mission on Saturday last and
lodged him in Jail at this point. 1t is
charged that Paul Henry is or was at the
head of a band of horse thieves, and that
two or three white men of this city are
among his confederates. Major Gwyder
expects to have the entire gang bagged
to day, when the whole matter will be
made public. --Reriew.

FRIEND LELAND II notice in your

explain the operation. | will say this
much for the Buriap machine, that one

per cent of any gold, no matter how fine.
A Durlap machine can be made to take
all the water that can be got on to it
from ten to 1000 inches. Aud ground
