ing the Opening OF the Reservation.
ST. PAUL. Feb. 12.-A Pierre. =. d., spe-
cal TO the Pioneer Press says: Col. Passen,
commander of the military, received tins
afternoon an official telegram from the
president containing the proclamation.
The town was Immediately in a hubbub of
noise and confusion. Vehicles of all kinds
were called ont and packed with men OF all
classes. There was an exciting race for
the reservation. In thirty minutes
the town was practically deserted, the stores
closed and business almost suspended.
Perched ON the dome Of the capitol build
ing, the writer could see over the country
for miles. Stretching away across the
river for miles into the reservation was II
procession of men and wagons hurrying
along on n mad rush for houses and
land. winding their way over
hills and valleys, each trying TO get ahead Of
the other. Fully 1900 people were in the
crowd. and tonight they are camped on the
reservation. Lohd after load Of lumber has
left the immense lumber yards here, until
TIA ere is almost none left, and tonight for a
radius of twenty-five miles can almost every
where be heard the sound Of saw and ham
mer.
AT Fort Pierre the situation is serious.
The bulk of the crowd first struck that vii
laee. and Immediately commenced TO claim
town lots. there being many claimants TO
one lot. Trouble is already arising. Ten
wagon loads of beer. whisky and several
gambling outfits went over to the reserva-
tion to- day. Liquor had been barred from
the reserve heretofore. but tonight II is ns

BUTTE, Feb. Especial. The most
horrible murder that ever occurred in Mon
tana took place to-day at Burlington. a
little mining camp two miles west of Butte.
Thomas Bryant, a boy OF ls or 10 years of
age, shot and killed his mother, Mrs. Rich
ard Bryant. Thomas Bryant has been
tough lad about Butte for some years. He
seemed 10 have the dime novel idea of wcst.
ern life, wore cowboy hat and carried a
gun. His father is a miner and worked in
all the leading mines of Butte for several
years. The neighbors recognized the boy
as young tough, and il has been predicted
OF him that he would come to n bad end.
A year ago last November his father left
Butte to try his luck in Australia md il at
present IN that country Shortly after his
departure Mrs. Bryant moved 10 Bur-
lington with the son and two daughters,
now uged and years. and supported tho
family by keeping boarderA AZ five min
utes past II o'clock to-day Fred Hicks a
miner who was boarding in the house,
heart shot IN Mrs. Bryant's sleeping room
next TO his. Hicks works on night shift
and WIS in bed. Before he could get nm
Mrs Bryant rushed into his room and said:
'Oh, Hicks" and fell on the bed and be-
came at once unconscious.
Hicks rose and placed her on tho bed.
and the boy then rushed into the room say
ing: Fred, II went off accidentally. Don't
tell anybody" Hicks put on his clothing.
and while he was doing so the boy ran
away. Hicks says that the mother and son
had been quarrelling, and he knew that she
had about 800 in the house.
Officers were placed ON the boys track.
and at O'Clock this evening he was arrest
ed at Gregson's Springs station. about ten
miles from here. He wss evidently waiting
for the Montana Union train. The sum OF
$40 in gold and erecnbacks was found up
ON his person. The arrest was made by
Deputy Sheriff IIinckley. of Silver Bow, and
the boy made no resistance, and no weapon
was found upon his person.
There liz no doubt that he quarreled with
his mother about the money, and then shot
her. lie WINS brought 10 Butte and placed
in the county jail. Your correspondent
visited him tonight and found him verv
sullen. He is about five feet six inches in
height, with dark curly hair and gray eyes.
lie manifested no emotion whatever, and
simply refused 90 make any talk whatever.
He even refused to tell his age and his un-
natural crime did not appear TO be causing
him any uneasiness.
Mrs. Bryant was ~ years of age and bore
nm excellent reputation. She wasa native Of
Cornwall and afterwards removed 10 Penn-
sylvania, and still later 10 Butte.
The bullet was apparently of about 81
calibre and struck her in the left breast, A
coroner's inquest was begun by Judge Eddy
this nftarnoon. but has not yet been com
pleted. There is great indignation nj Bur
lington over the affair and talk of lynching
has been freely heard, but there will prob
ably be no such action taken.
