meet half way. wagon train was then
sighted coming over the hill. This scared
the Indians and they drew back, hut Chlet
Joseph called no them and the exchange WAS
made. General Howard was coming down
the hill and joined General Miles. Real
izing that they were outnumbered and their
own supply Of ammunition exhausted, Chief
Joseph surrendered to General Miles. He
would not have anything TO do with Howard,
who ho characterized as a two-faced. one
armed dog and called General Miles
a warrior and fighter. IL
seems that Gen. Howard, who had been fol-
lowing Chief Joseph, had avoided several
opportunities TO give him battle and he
said he would die before he would give in
TO Howard.
THAT was the greatest Indian war the
northwest ever had. The Nez Percvs
fought their way through Washington,
Idaho and were nearly successful in getting
through Montana to the border, aud IN
another day they would have been there
had not Gen. Miles stopped them. They
started from the Umatilla reservation,
where AN oyerbearing Indian agent caused
them 20 leave the country. Their other
Montana encounter was the famous battle
of the Big Hole, where Gen. Gibbons was
in command. Gen. Miles took the Nez
Perces down TO Indian Territory, where
they are now stationed and are among the
most industrious and intelligent of all the
tribes

THE JULIA DOuD MURDER.


The city and county authorities are work
ing quitely but earnestly on the Julia Doud
murder case. There are several theories in
regard TO the murder. One is that China
man committed the deed; another that a
Chinsman was in the house and another
person, probably mac, coming in and dis
covering him there, became incensed with
rage and killed the woman and then fol-
lowed the Chinaman TO the wash house
Of All Low, where he threw down
the knife with which the deed was COM
mitted and made his escape. Then again,
il is thought probable that the Chinamnn
who purchased the knife in MissoulH may
have committed the deed; or, that the man
who WAS saving wood for the woman did il.
From the conflicting theories a shrewd de-
tectiye might be able 10 find thread Of
light, but as yet QUE appears to be quite AZ
probable as the other, aud If anything new
has been developed the custodians
Of the peace are keeping il
all to themselves. II appears that
an effort is being made to arrest the man
who did the wood saving. A photograph
of him has been framed and copies Of 1t
sent out on the line of the railroads and
every effort will be made TO secure his ar
rest. The ChinamGn who bought the knife
is also badly wanted. but whether he will
be apprehended or not is a question. II APP
pears now that the murderer Of Julia Doud
will probably escape the penalty of his
crime

his slumbers Al his home on Bridge street,
by Officer Phil Best, who WIS led 20 be-
lieve that he had the man who has been
raising five dollar bills to twenties, which
hive made their appearance in many Mon

The Tin Soldier,

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings Hoyt's greatest and funniest farce
comedy will be played at Ming's. OF it the
st. Louis Star Sayings says;
At Pope's theater last night "rhe Tin
Soldier" crowded the house to the doors,
a very unusual thing for Tuesday night.
The present company seems 10 get all the
fun out Of the rollickine skit thatth author
intended, and great deal more. Mr.. Louis
Wesley's performance of Rats meets with
general approval even from the old admir-
ers of Jimmie Powers and Eugene Garfield.
Wesley's disadvantage is that his face is
more difficult to make up than either of his
predecessors. Miss Fannie Bloodeood has
caught ON as Patsy. Miss St. George Hus-
sey and the rest are worry performers.
