needed is similar tool, no larger, but

another very useful tool, but for several
purposes (such as wedding or stirring

much improved by removing the origi-

to form V-shaLed notch in the end Of

A shrewd shenh.

Jno. N. Frew. a stone mason in the cm-
ploy of the Dana Water company, got
hold of $500 of the company's money and
skipped out about ten days ago. Sheriff
HadseIl was notified of the gentleman
actions anG vent down to Dana. but found
it almost impossible to do ANYTHING as his
man could not be located. Finally by a
decoy letter Frew was located in Denver,
where Hadsell found him in a low-down
dive on Holiday street. On his person
the sheriff found a certificate of deposit
on the Colorado savings bank for $3.50.
AS soou as the bank opened the next
morning he attached the money in the
hands of the bank, and turned the pris-
oner loose as he had committed no Grim
inal ~offense. The manner in which Frew
secured the money does not lay HIM liable
to prosecution, therefore the company is
in great luck to get it back. Sheriff
Hadsell exhibited a great deal Of tact and
shrewdness in his actions in the matter.

Four Indian MurdererS Hanged
at Missoula, Mont.
Remi La Montague Strung Up
at SherbrOOke, Que,
For Killing His BrOther-in-
Law, Napoleon Michel.

MIssOULA, Mont. Dec. 10. - The
greatest hanging which ever took place in
the Northwest occurred this morning when
Lala See, Pierre Paul, Antley and Pas
Gale, four Indian murderers, were hanged
at the court house. All died game, Pierre
Paul and Antley smilingly bidding their
friends good bye. Twenty minutes after
the trap was sprung all were dead, their
necks being broker.
The crimes for which the four Indians
were hanged were most cONarlly and bru.
tai. Pascale killed a prospectOr named j.
NJ. Dunn in the spring of 1889, near De-
moisville. Dunn traded horses with him
and when he refused TO trade back the
Indian shot HIM, taking the horse and
what money he had. Pascale hid The
body in the brush, where the bones were
discovered q few months later by another
Indian to whom Pascale admitted the
crime. The bones were identified by
remnants of clothing and Pascale was ar
rested.
Antlcys crime was participation in the
murder Of three white prospectors-Mc-
Donald, Seeloy and Thompson-in the
fall OF 1857, at Wolf creek, near Tobacco
plains The prospectors were surprised
at their campfire by a party of six Koo-
tenai Indians and murdered in cod blood.
Two of the Indians were captured soon
after and lynched by the people Of
Demoisville. Antley remained at large
till last summer.
I.ala See and Pierre Paul killed two
white men, names not known. in August,
1887. threw the bodies into the Jack
river. where they were found by a half
breed woman, who was cautioned by
the murderers to say nothing about the
bodies. She notified the authorities and
the murdcrers were arrested last summer.
The murders were ~unprovoked. The four
prisoners were tried and convicted before
Judge Marshall, at Missoula, last fall.
The Indians protested their innocence
before dying. The bodies will be taken
to St lgnatius mission for burial. Sew
eral prominent chiefs were in attendance
at the execution, but there was no pro-
testing demonstration on their part or
from the members of their tribe as had
been anticipated. About 100 persons
were present.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Dr. Bland

date of Dec. 10. Red Cloud says he is a
constant friend of the whiteG and his peo-
pie have no intention OF going on the
warpath. He never had anything to do
with the ghost dance. He complains of
the government rations being cut down
more and more every year. The past two
seasons were so dry that the Indians could
raise little, and the rations were so scant
that they had to kill their own cattle to
avoid starvation. Many became sick from
want of a proper quantity of food, and

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 In the house
today Morse of Massachusetts, introduced
for reference a bill providing that no ex-

opened Sunday. Violation OF the act is
punishable by a fine of not less than 500
or more than : 1000.
The house today after passing a Dis
trict of Columbia bill, took up the con
ference report on the bill amending the
act for the division of a portion OF the
Sioux Indians in Dakota into smaller res
ervations. The only change made is au-
thorization for the expenditure of the APP
preparation of $4,000 made for the
purchase OF beef and other %rations. Ia
speaking to the measure, Allen OF Mlssls
sippi took occasion to crticIse congress
for doing nothing to relieve the financial
~stringency of the country, and expressed
his belief that the president had done
wrong, and shown his littleness in at
tempting to bulldoze the senate. He
quoted the remark Of a lady fond OF
decorating her parlor with sculpture. to
the effect that she was going to secure a
life sized statuette OF President Harrison.
The report was agreed to, and the house
