A farmer says that every northwestern
FARMER can make more growing black
walnut trees than he a at growing
wheat. II he can, IL is q matter that will
pay investigation.
Kin-ne-ke-cote, or ~Sharp-nose, n Cree
Indian, came into our Office yesterday
land desired to have his request for the
|goyernment to give him and his people a
reservation OF permanent place on which
to reside the balance of their days, pub
lished in this paper. He desires to settle
down on this side of the line because the
United States affords better opportunities
for the civilization Of the red man.. than
does the Dominion of Canada. He wants
to be put on a reservation and will stay
there.-M0ntdnidn.
A letter received last evening from e..
r. Norris. of the Judith, by the house OF
T. {. Power & Bro. Of this city, states that
q mar was accidentally killed on Wednes-
day afternoon last. The mans name was
not given, as the letter had been written
hurriedly on important business, and had
10 be cut short in order to catch the mail.
The man was killed while assisting i'm
raising the steel ferry cable, which had
been lowered to allow the steamer Batch
elor to pass up the river. 1t is surmised
that the drum on which the heavy cab
was wound became unmanageable and
whirled backward, the projecting lever
striking the man, killing him Instantly
Fort Benton Press.
The Fort Benton Press gives the follow
ing particulars of the shooting of Jack
Wilson by E.J ]. Price at Highwood: Price
and Wilson had often quarreled con-
corning business relations, Wilson having
Prices land and some horses rented. Their
last quarrel Thursday morning was over
the horses, Price having taken n OF
them away without Wilson's consent. A
man named Click, who works for Wilson,
heard the quarreling and saw the tragedy.
He says that after the men had quarreled
for some time Price said he would
60 into his house and get his II and kill
Wilson. Both men started into their
houses. which were nea each other, at
almost the same INT and both reap
peared with guns at their shoulders ready
to fire. Wilson's u went of first. The
only noticeable effect on Price was to
cause him To momentarily drop them uz-
gle Of his gun toward the ground and
dodge behind some posts standing In front
Of his cabin. Wilson, i'm the meantime
was trying to get another cartridge into
the OF MS gun, but the extractor
would not throw the empty shell out. He
was STOPPING over working at the lever of
his gun when Price fired. The bullet
struck Wilson just forward of the left
armpit and came out about the middle of
the back just below the joints of the
shoulder blades. Wilson dropped and
Price fired no more. Price shortly after
ward left the place and went up the creek
to a neighbours, carrying his gun, a $3.50
Winchester with him. Neighbors were
summoned to assist Mrs. Wilson i'm car
ing for her wounded husband. Others
came TO see that Price did not make his
escape. Price started to hitch q horse to
a vehicle he had, but was told by citizens
present that he would not be allowed to
leave until an officer arrived to take
charge of him. Constable Joe Braith-
waite, who had heard of the trouble, came
over and arrested Price, and took him be-
lore Justice of the Peace O.. A. Parsons,
and at last accounts the prisoner was in
Braithwaite's hands. Wilson is still
alive. The wound is a very serious
and it is doubtful il he will survive it.
