The Indian Scare a Pure Fabrication

Hoi "eeA Ut more the Journals Of
the land have been proclaiming, BY
flaming headlines, that the Nez Perce
Indians were on the war path and
threatened the lives and property Of
the settlers on Little Salmon Meadows.
An investigation of this report proves
the affair to be highly sensational. A
short interview with w. D. Robbins.
government agent on the Nez Perce
reservation, develop the following state
of facts:
BY the treaty of 1853, the Indians
are allowed to leave the reservation
once year to hunt and fish up on
Salmon river. They have gone up
there this year, as usual, in force o:
about four to six hundred Indians and
as many ponies. Roaming about in
the hunt they have made camp upon
Little Salmon Meadows. The settlers
In that region are new to the west and
the sudden appearance Of such q large
body of Indians armed, and, appar4
emily, equipped for war, has alarmed
them unduly. They, becoming fright
ened, sent to the governor for aid. A.
company was dispatched to the scene.
But Governor Shoup has declared
both publicly and privately that there
was no cause for the alarm.
We were permitted to see q letter
from the governor, directed to Aren't
Robbins, In which he commends the
latter's prompt action in sending out
the Indian police to call in the Indians
to the reservation. He also states his
regret that the press Of the country
should be giving the affair such a SEN
sational appearance. The Nez Perce
Indians are we'll known :as peaceable,
orderly and law-abiding Indians. Mr..
Robbins states that he Is personally ac-
quainted with the entire hunting party
now on Salmon river and that they are
representatives Of the hest Indians in
the tribe. They are the religious In
dians and are accompanied on this tin
by their preachers and best men of the
tribe. 1t is to be regretted that such
groundless reports are permitted to cir
culate. 1t is detrimental to the inter
ests of the country, and, though highly
sensational, 1t is hardly creditable to
the press to give the rumor credence.
The Nez Perce Indians are well
known here. Their reservation lies
next to our city. They are peaceabIe /.
and perfectly friendly, industrious and
self-supporting. Their farms dot the
reservation everywhere and show evi.
dence Of civilized habits In their careful
cultivation. Many Of them are
wealthy and take pride in sending their
children away to be thoroughly edu-
Gated. A score or more of Indian
youths left the reservation this year
for Carlysle, Pennsylvania. The gov.
ernment schools Of the reservation are
we'll attended and the Mes Perces an,
fast becoming the most civilised and
enlightened Indians in the West. In
the face Of all these facts It seems
strange and absurd to W to zee flaming
reports Of q threatened Indian outbreak
among the Nee Perce Indians.

SoAaSAuSf"OAo CASlSCuACAV HIS UCCil
occasioned at Moscow this last week
by the discovery of a strata of rock
bearing fire opals. The discovery was
made on the farm of William Leasure
where a well was being dug. The
stones are found in the pockets of u
porous lava formation. They have
teen subjected to scientific test and
are declared to be genuine fire opals
worth from 500 to $500 to the ounce
Fortune hunters during the excitement
have staked out more than hundred
claims, covering the farm of Mr.
Leasure, but he having made final
proof on his farm 1t is not likely that
the claims of the lccators will hold title.
News of a shooting affray at Warrens
has been widely circulated here this
week. The participants were Chas. A.
Bemis and Johnny Cox both we'll
known here. The shooting occurred
early last week and WAS the outcome
of gambling affray. A dispute over
the amount due Cox by Bemis lead to
a quarrel in which the former shot the
latter through the head, the ball enter
ing the cheek and ranging backward
The latest reports justly young Cox in
the shooting by asserting that Bclnis
attempted to draw first, but Cox was
too quick for him. Bemis exhonorates
him, 1t is said, and will order no arrests
made. Bemis, although the bill still
remains in his head, is able to bc about
again and will probably recover.

A WARNING.-It has been quite a
noticeable thing lately that after bills
and posters are hung or placed up in
public places that company of hood
lum boys 60 about destroying them.
The frequency Of the occurrence has
made the matter subject of much
comment, and severe measures have
been threatened in dealing with the
boys. 1t will be we'll for these young
sters to know that to tear down poster
or any public notice before the date of
the event 1t advertises, is q m!sde-
meanor, punishable with fine or i'm
prisonment. Tne citizens have stood
enough Of this and similar acts from
the same source and give the young
sters warning that the penalty Of the
law will be inflicted on the next often
der caught at tearing down posters.
A night or two in the lookup will per-
haps cure the most needless youth In
town. Boys take heed.

A Spark Destroyed a Village.

How the terrible fire which has
destroyed the village Of Moor. in
Hungary, originated Is thus told 10y
our Vienna correspondent: A farm
er's wife was Ironing in her kitchen,
using a fiatiron filled with charcoal,
when a spark flew out an set fire
10 her muslin dngss. In her fright
she ran into the courtyard, where
her husband and. his people were
thrashing barley. The harley
caught fire from her and was 10
sooner abiaze than the wind blew
the sparks IN all directions, setting
fire Ia tine matched roofs Of the
houses which stood in two long rows
forming the main street. All was
50 sudden aud people were 50 dumb
funded that for little time they
could not even call for help.
Most Of the heals Of familit 5
were in the vineyards, and their
help was not available until they
had been recalled 10y the alarm bell.
The old people ami children in the
houses had not presence II mini
en6ugh 10 save themselves. In
Hungary il has not rained for a long
time, and the wells contained no
water, so that nothing could be
done 10 save even n single house.
In all loo houses were destroyed and
lSi families are without n roof above
their heads, The harvest was over
and the corn in the barns was con-
sume,l In the general cUnilagration,
which was terrible spectacle as
night came on. Ten bodies have
been found, and sons children are
missing. Nearly everybody in the
ueighborhO0d are suffering from
burns received in rescue work.

A New Way To Fish.

Quite n novel. mode Of catching
fish was invented by a youth in
MichigaE recently.
He was bathing, when he per-
ceived IN the water little way Le-
yOnd him a fish Of unusually large
proportions swimming along with
ia very short distance Of the bank
and rapidly approaching him. As
he saw the magnificent specimen Of
the sturgeon species the thought o:
securing Ii without the usual imple-
ments flashed across his mind, and
he determined TO make one effort
10 secure the monarch VI the
lakes
AS the fish approached the bank
on which the boy was standing the
latter prepared TO dive, and before
the sturgeon was quite opposite the
youth gave a leap, plunge and
dived beneath the water. Ere the
astJnished sturgeon could either
escape or recover from the conster-
nation caused by tie sudden dis
turbance OF the waters he was n
prisoner in tBe arms OF the youth,
who could with difficulty retain his
hold Of his slippery customer
The struggles Of the nov desperate
sturgeon were pertinacious ami
nearly crowned with victory, though
they became almost entirely ineifvc-
tual, and were rendered completely
70 by the all Of a companion OF the
boy, who ran TO his assistance.
Their united efforts soon complet-
Ell tine victory over his siuTgeonship,
ami laid him painting on the bank,
a proof OF the triumph Of muscle.
After resting awhile from the IA
tigue caused by the c0mba; under
water, they carried the sturgeon
home, where 1t was weighed, turn-
ing the scales at just seventy
pOunds.-Er.

fattening Poultry.

Nearly all poultry Is sold by the
pound, whether alive or dressed,
aud in sending TO market it is az
item TO have them weigh as well as
possible. In many CASES very few
days. feeding, if properly done, will
make a considerable difference IN
this respect
On the farm where the fowls can
have the range Of the fields they
ought to be in gUod thrifty condi-
ton, and il well fed will fatten
rapidly. 1t Is best, however, moi
10 put them on full feed all at once,
but gradually to increase the ration
until they are given all that they
will eat up clean. II they are To he
fattened rapidly il will be best "a
confine In a close pen, 50 dark that
they can lust see to eat well, and
then feed them five times a day.
Corn or cornmeal is, Of course,
one Of the very best materials that
can be used, and il they are sup
Piled with all they can eat they will
fatten rapidly. Potatoes boiled un-
I'll soft aud then mashed, and bran
and cOrnmeal added, with a little
salt aud pepper TO season, Will make
up cheap fatt=ning ration; or corn
meal, bran and Oilmeal, with buck
wheat, can often be used 10 ad-
vantage. IL is quite an item to
feed regularly and to feed at each
meal all that they viii eat up clean,
and to supply them with plenty OF
pure water. Turkeys, gee-e, ducks
aud chickens can all be fattened
rapidly II the proper pains are
taken, and the additional weight
can be put in at n good profit. From
ten days to two weeks feeding Is
generally all that is necessary TO
fatten properly. Poultry, like all
other products, must be in good
marketable condition 10 sell at the
best prices.

COLORADO.

At noon last Friday Martin
Henry, one Of the leasers OF the
Little Pittsburg, on Fryer HUI,
went down No. shaft 10 tally a
man who was working for him. He
told the engineer, Th0mas Murray,
that he would stop at the first level,
which is 200 feet from the surface.
and then would ring the bell three
times AS n signal TO be lowered b
the bottom, as he wanted 10 see
how the water in the stump was.
The bucket in use was one Of the
valve kind. The engineer lowered
him all right To the first level and
after a few moments he heard the
bell ring once. He went to the
shaft, which is about thirty feet
from the engine, TO inquire what
Henry wanted, when he saw the
cable start. Henry must have
stepped on the bucket and the jar
threw the brake of. The engineer
saw what had happened and he
rushed over 10 his engine and did
an he could tn stop the cable. But
his efforts were futile. DO all ne
could it was impossible to stop the
cable in its flight. Finally II ran oil
the spool, then the tagging
few in all directions, but the
engineer stuck TO his post and
Continued his efforts until he found
he could do nothing. The cable
went into the shaft and down TO the
bottom. The engineer and some
on the men went down the ladder
and found Henry's body in the

4 warrant OF arrest from Utah was

Farm Economy.


1t makes us tired 10 hear elias,
OF men who spend more money Ia
day for beer and cigars than the
average farmer makes, assert that II
l. want of economy that brings hard
times to the farming CLASSES, and all
wise them to get up earlier, work
harder and longer and not spend 50
much time at alliance meetings.
These men know as little about the
ways and wants Of the farmer n
they DO Of the incOuceivable ways OF
Divine Providence aud care about
a little, and II the farmers would
keep on in their old way Of allow
ing them to do their thinking, die
tating their voting and bleed them
Of their hard-earned dollars would
never think Of offering them advice
on any subject.
There are, however, points upon
which our farmers could practice
