The Spring Trade in Horse Stealing Plat
tening Out in Deer Lodge Comfy.
DEER LODGE, July 2.-[SpeeiaI 10 the
independent Mr.. James COnley, stock
commissioner, crack maTksman and Indian
fighter, has returned from the Indian war
IN MissOula county. When Mr.. COnley
travels he always sleeps with one eye
open, and while out on this trip be picked
up Ia the CmIT d'Alene country, in Fourth
OF July canyon, three men, Matt Graham,
Frank Gardner and Ed Bowen, wanted In
Deer Lodge county for horse stealing. A
few weeks since a band OF about thirty
eight head of horses belonging 10 ranch
men at the upper end of Deer Lodge valley
and across the border in Silver Bow coun-
ty, were driven Oh. About tW eDfy OF these
horses we're found with th, Sc men and
quite a number OF them were found with
George Edwards and fellow named Ms
son, now Ia jail az Miss0nla, and who were
caught at Canss Prairie, across the divide
from Bitter Root.
Edwards is a son Of prominent ranch
man OF Deer Lodge valley, but the history
OF the other parties Is unknown. The pre-
liminary hearing cannot come OF until
witnesses are brought from MIssouIa
county, and until the horses, many of
which have been sold and traded on aud
are scattered, can be brought home. Mr..
Conley states that be is greatly indebted
10 Sheriff Heyfron, Of Missoula, for sssIst-
ance in these captures.
Horse stealing since the opening of early
spring has been 3 tremendous industry
in Deer Lodge county and in ali parts of 1t.
At first il was profitable business but now
that competition is so hot and Conley and
Frank Hatton are taking an Interest in it,
1t will not pay 90 we'll.

The Old Indian Fighters business Tall
to the sioux.
LOWER BBULE AGENCY, Oak, July p
The Sioux commission arrived this morn
ing and will hold q council with the In
dians this evening. The old chiefs see
land in severalty means the loss of power
for them and oppose the bill, but the young
men favor IL and it is believed they will
carry the day.
A council was held this evening. Gov.
Foster was the FIRST speaker. He explained
the oil TO the Indians in detail and reas-
oned with them Concerning their present
condition and the necessity for a change
therein. He showed them the difference
between the present bill and that of last
year and told them they must not expect
congress 10 be more liberal than il has
been. Whether they agree OF not, the
people OF Dakota will probably make a
passage through the land. Major Warner
carefully explained the bill and pointed
out the provisions with references TO the
all0tments Of land. He talked with them
at length about the benefits of civilization
etc, and said the commission believed that
II they accepted this bill the time when the
Indians Will enjoy all these benefits will
come sooner than the measure expected.
At the conclusion of Major Warmers re-
marks Gen Crook made the shortest speech
thus FAR delivered by any Of the commits
sion, as follows:
MY friends, we will issue five beeves as
soon as all the men get in Tuesday, and
we want all of you to get in early and
then you will get the beef early. All OF
you who want TO sign can do so at the
agents Office That Is all"
IL Is needless TO say that these remarks
were received with great favor. From
conversations with different persons about
the agency it is believed the work of the
commission will be finished in few days
unless dissatisfaction with reference 70
the Santees should prove more difficult
70 manage than now seems probable.

CINCINNATI, July John l.. Sullivan
and party arrived in this city this after
noon. Among the sporting fraternity here
opinion Is almost equally divided as to the
mer Is OF Kilrain and Sullivan, and many
are Of opinion the affair will not be a
genuine fight There is very little betting,
because q number of SHllivan's friends are
afraid to back him because OF his broken
arm They say, however, Kilrain will not
stand up against him for six rounds unless
his broken arm should fail him. On the
other hand Kilrain's friends believe he can
beat Sullivan provided the fight is not
hippOdrome. A large ndmber of men from
this city will leave town on the same train
with Sullivan to morrow, when be expects
to leave.
John certainly looks weIl-a hundred
per cent better than when he was here a
month ago. There is not particle of su-
peTiiuOus flesh about him. His general ap-
peaTance indicates he is In the best of
health and the chances seem strongly in
his favor. John himself is confident of
victory If the fight is fairly conducted. and
IL is evident that he will make hard fight
for his opponent. When be came out of
the gymnasium az about 7:30 this evening
after spending nearly three hours there in
exercise, he Immediately entered closed
carriage, end accompanied only by his
trainer, Muldoon, was driven to his hotel.
SullIvan's special car, in which he trav-
els, is furnished with view To the conve-
nience and comfort of its occupant. A
bath tub with shower bath attachment
occupies almost the whole side of the car.
A striking bag hangs suspended from the
ceiling and about the room are scattered
dumbeilS and other paraphernslia.
Mr.. johnson, sporting editor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, who spent
some time with Sullivan at his training
grounds about ten days ago, and who will
accompany him in the morning, says their
special train will leave at O'Clock to-mOr-
row morning for New Orleans. Late this
evening there was a little disposition to in
crease the betting, although the odds Of
fered in Sullivan's favor are very much
greater.

CHICAGO, July 2-The commanders oi

diana, Illinois, Iowa. Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas and Minnesota met In this city To-
day for tie purpose of further presenting
TO the general passenger agents of the
Central Traffic association now in session
here the claims OF the G.. A. r. for the
same rates to the national encampment as
heretofore made, and as recently made to
other associations. The gentlemen to-
night furnish the Associated Press with a
statement in which they say in part:
Having received the same evasive answer
which have been made to repeated re-
quests OF the commander-in-chief and local
committee at Milwaukee for a one cent
rate per mile, and feeling that the g. A. X.
Is entitled TO at least as much consideration
as other societies and organizations, and
that we should resent this un-
Just discrimination against veterans
who saved the life OF the nation. We here
by insist that the proper railroad officials
throughout the United states ix and estab-
lish on or before the 10th inst. q rate of one
cent per mile 20 and from The national en-
campment at Milwaukee, and in case Of
failure so TO do within the time sDecIied,
we hereby declare our determination 70
carry out by general orders in our respec
tive departments the spirit OF the resolu-
ton adopted at the twenty second national
encampment as follows.
Resolved, further, that unless the railroad
furnish the required relief To
then the various departments
will discourage the attendance of ali ex-
cept members of the National encAmp-
ment; and further, that we shall call upon
The cummander-in-chieft TO Issue a general
order requesting only duly authorized rep
of the Grand Army of the Re
public TO attend the said encampment"
The number of such representative Is
believed 10 be less than thousand, while
he attendance at the encampmeut was ex-
)ected 10 be many thousands.

send via Omaha and Tacoma, where the
government steamer AlbstrOss will be at
their disposal until July 25, by which time
they expect to return TO Port Townsend,
and after few days in Washington terri

Will be an extended one and after visiting
the most northern schools and islands just

will also have a look as much as possible
of the proposed school sites at Fort A exan-
der in Bristol Bay, ST Micbaels, on Norton
Sound, Kodiak island and Sitka.
Mr.. Olin said in conclusion: On our re-
turn it is possible the committee will 90 TO
the Puyailup reservation, djacent TO Ia
coma, TO take q look into the Indian
agency. Delegate voorhees, preferred
charges against the agent At Ellis ABOUT
six months ago. The matter was taken up
by the committee and dropped. They

American Morse code will hereafter be
