MIssoULA, March 1L-[Special to the
Independent ID. L. Clifford, Of Demers-
Vile, arrived here last evening In custody
Of Sheriff Heyfron, having been arrested
for causing the death Of an Indian by strik-
Ing him on the head with the butt Of his
revolver. The sheriff and his prisoner,
who was accompanied by Mrs. Clifford,
were obliged to make long detour, which
delayed them day and a half, In order to
avoid party Of thirty or forty armed
Flathead Indians who had stationed them
selves upon the road which the sheriff was
expected to take, with the avowed deter
mination Of avenging the death OF their
fellow.
Mr.. Clifford told the INDEPENDENT cor
respondent that the Indian whose death
has caused all the disturbance was . no.

with . companion and was ordered on.
They did not 20, and showed disposition
Clifford, held one OF the Indians at bay.
The other rushed ut Clifford, who knocked
him down three times with his first Then
the Indian drew his knife and made des-
perate rush ct Clifford, who had meanwhile
drawn his revolver, with which he struck
the Indian on the head. The latter fell,
but soon arose and, with the other moved
away. A little while later Clifford and
Cunningham heard commotion In their
cor raj and upon going out 10 II found the
Indians trying 10 steal some horses. The
display OF firearms. however, frightened
OF the rascals. The death Of the Indian
was cause by cold settling In the wound ON

had occupied the room but two weeks aud
that no demand had been made for re-

While search was being made for Bryson

small hotel near the Northern Pacific de-
pot, kept by woman named Porter. She
was Mrs. Flora Thompson. The marshal

party Of FIVE Frenchmen, tourists, and a
guide named Ferry. on their way through
the National Park, were attacked BY In
dlhns at Rattlesnake Canon and the Eve

without foundation here. Col. LamartIne,
who has charge Of the government work

familiar with the country. was interviewed
by your correspondent 10 day. He sAid
that the report is wholly without founda-
ton, as there has been no tourists In
the park since the season closed
last fall; that there is no such place In or
near the Park as Rattlesnake canon; that
there has been no Indians In the park for
over one year, and that there Is no guide In
the country named Ferry. Capt Harris,
commander Of the troops stationed at Camp
Sheridan, in the National Park, would
have certainly been informed II there had
been any hostile Indians Mt large. In a
telegram received from him here today he
denied that there was any truth In the re-

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE possible
fate Of the French copper syndicate Is still
the aliabsorbing topic In metal circles
here. Early to-day IL was currently re-
ported the copper octopus had received ad-
ditional financial aid TO that reported Sat
urday. This was substantialed by the fol-
lowing London cable to the secretary Of
the exchange: "Mathieson is reported to
have taken control OF the syndicate's busl-
ness" On the floor OF the exchange cop
per operators were noticeably shy OF the
market. London cables came In at a de-
cline OF "a on both sheet and futures and
speculation here was at standstill. Rep
resentAtives OF American mine owners in
tis city are still confident Of the ability o.
the Frenchmen 10 tide over their difficult
ties.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Daily News
financial article says: "All the mines
have practically agreed to suspend action
for two months. and none OF those holding
copper will press 20 sell II below the con
venti0nal price, regarding which negotia-
tions are still In progress. The Daily News
confirms the statement that Mathieson will
control the sales from Paris. There Is an
extraordinary revival OF the Indian demand
for copper. Negotiations are In progress
TO prolong the contract between the mines
and the syndicate for period of twelve
years.

at IL o'clock with the decks cleared for the
Bryson case. After the reading OF the
minutes by the clerk, the work OF impan-
cling the jury was begun. The defendant,
when brought into court, eyinced that cool
ness of demeanor which has characterized
his conduct and actions thus far. His per
sonal appearance has undergone no change
since his arrival here. The court room
was crowded when he was brought
In, but TO the inqulring glapces
and scrutinizing looks Of those present be
exhibited an imperturbable GOODNESS aud
apparant Indifference. With all this seeming
apathy, however, his furtive looks betray
a mental excitement which requires an ef-
fort on his part TO conceal. This is made
manifest by the glances which he takes at
the jurors In reply to questions propounded
to them touching their qualifications;
more especially Ia this so when juror an
swers that he would return verdict OF
guilty OF murder IN the first degree, pre-
dicating the same upon circumstantial evil
