OLast Wednesday night a young man by
the name of Bennett Sanders, from Par
.nu ar b;a an, IN n,sca r;t,. IN ,ra
on his land, while waiting for the train
fell into the hands of a confidence man,
who induced him to take a walk, says the
Nampa Progress. They were soon over
taken by two other persons, who relieved
Sanders of S47 80, took a watch from the
confidence man and made their escape.
The confidence man was arrested on sus-
picion Of being in the plot to commit rob-
berry, and placed i'm the Jail for safe-keep-
ing. His pals visited III jail during the
night, passed a wrench in to him, with
which he took the taps from the bolts

The inquest OH the body of Jack Niece,
who died suddenly while hunting last
Friday, was held at Missoula Saturday
afternoon. In contradiction of the theory
that he accidentally shot himself the Mis-
souiion says: There were no wounds
whatever discovered. His gun was found
lying on the ground unloaded, AMI his
footsteps were traced from where he had
dressed the deer to a small stream near
by, where he had washed the blood from
his hands, m apparently had knelt
down and had taken a drink of the cold
water. and had retraccd his steps to where
his body was found. The supposition is
that his exertions in dressing the carcass
of the animal caused him to become over
heated and that the cold water he drank
caused a shock to his nervous system that
resulted i'm death. When found he had in
his han the knife which he used in Dress
ing the deer. MCGEE was well known in
Missoula, having lived in the Bitter Root
valley for the past min years.
Black Eagle, White Wolf and Half
Moon are i'm town selling buffalo horns.
The noble red men wear red rousers and
blankets Of many colors. Black Eagle
and White Wolf do 10 speak English.
They speak with their fingers clearly
enough. When asked the price of the
horns Black Eagle will show two, three or
four fingers to indicate the number of
dollars that he wants. He is a true friend
of silver, and prefers il to greenbacks.
Half Moon speaks some English. "The
glory Of the red man." he says, ais de-
parted. No more he wanders by the broad
Minneshosho missouri, in quest Of game.
The buffalo is gone. The antelope is
nearly gone. The iron horse has come
and the pale faces have followed in its
trail. The hunting grounds of the red
man are full of cattle but he owns none.
The Great Father at Washington prom
ises good things to the red man, but he
waits N waits for them all the time.
This is a nice pair of buffalo horns; only
three dollars."-G,edt Falls Tribune.
