SHE GOES TO TRIAL.
Potlatcb Fannie. the Indian Squaw
Murderer, Taken to Mis-
soula.
A Brief History of One of the
Most Col1-Blooded Montana
Murder Stories.

Potlatch Fannie, the Indian squaw
who was arrested few days ago at
Lewiston for being implicated in the
murder Of two prospectors at Missoula
In lsss, arrived in this city yesterday in
charge Of Deputy sheriff Huron, OF Mis-
soula, being en- route to that place.
Potlatch Fannie Is an ugiy.looking
squnw, and when brought to police
headquarters she looked as IL she had
not seen water for year, 80 begrimmed
was she from dirt.
The murier for which she is being
taken to MissOula was one Of the most
foul that has ever taken place III Mon
tana. 1t seems that two prJspectors had
campcd near the dugout occupied by
Potlatch Fannie and two buck lndi ans,
and during the night the bucks, assisted
by the squaw, stoe upon them and
murdered them in cold blood.
They then attempei to hide he bOdics,
but somehow the crime was discovered.
and in the attempt by the sheriil's posse,
assisted by Joel +. Warren, of this city,
one of the bucks vas killed and the
other captured, while the squaw, Pot
latch Fannie escaped, locating near
Lewiston. The Indian that was cap
tured was sentenced to the pcnitcntiary
for life.
A few days ago Information came to
the sheriff of MiSsoula that she was in
hiding near Lewiston, Idaho, and the
result was her capture as mentioned in
the REVIEWS kilograms from that place
"a few days ago.

IT'S SUCCESS ASSURED
Manager Robinson Enthusiastic
over the Prospects for the
Exposition.


Manager Charles w. Robinson,
of the North western Industrial OK
position, stated to REVIEW re-
porter yesterday that the work on
the exposition Is progressing finely,
and the Indications point to n sue
cessful exposition. Continuing, he
said:
"Charles b. Hopkins, one Of the
worlds fair commissioners Of this
state, has sent out notices to all the
newspapers in the state suggesting
the fact that the crop this year Is
going to exceed anything ever had
before, and for fear there may not
be an opportunity between now and
'O3 to select agricultural products
for the worlds fair he has asked
them to commence collecting spocl-
mems from this years growth.
THE Northwestern Industrial
Exposition has opened negotiations
with Mr.. Hopkins, aud the various
cities with which he has CORE
sponded, suggesting that they make
Use of the county commissioners for
that purpose; that they collect the
specimens aud exhibit them at the
exposition this fall, and we extend
to them the privilege of keeping the
specimens In the building, and add.
ing to them from time To time us
they may see fit. BY doing this 1t
will result in making the North
western Industrial Exposition II
nucleus of the worlds lair exhibit.
THE BUSINESS MES WORKING.
''Much interest has been taken In
this matter by the surrounding
towns, and / am constantly hear
ing of additions and collections in
the various counties for exhibition.
The business men of the city and
state are beginning to realize what
great opportunity they have of
bringing their business to the at
tention of the surrounding country.
From information received, am
convinced that they are preparing
very high class OF exhibits, and
nearly all the houses have offered u
special fine stock for that occasion,
'sO you can sec they mean business.
"One thing you can say and that
Is this: 1t is the golden opportuni-
ty Of making Spokane Falls the
wholesale center OF the surrounding
country.
"The exposition has sent to Col
willie country for samples Of soil, on
the bench lands along the valley,
for the purpose of having II analyzed
and the analysis compared with the
soil Of Minnesota"
what is the object of doing this,
Mr.. ROhinsonY'
'lt has been known for some time
that this soil would grow the very
finest quality of wheat, known as
Minnesota, aud with the
wheat growing I'm the Pa
lotlse county, and hard wheat
from the Colville country, the city
Of Spokane Falls will he assured Of
being the great milling center of the
world. All Of these facts are known
to exist, and those interested in the
country propose to use the exposi-
tion as the means of bringing these
facts to the notice of the world.h

CoNpu TOR TO rHs RESCUE.
How an Oregon Youth Was Worked
by Confidence Men.

TACOMA, Wash, July i.-On the in
coming train tonight from Portland
eight or ten 'sure thing" confidence
men were aboard, and attempted to work
the train. Their career however, was
cut short by Conductor Pat
Maldhey. Shortly after leaving
Chehalis two of the gang
got hold of young fellow from Oregon,
EN- route to this city, and, as they are
not allowed to play three card monte,
they rcsorted to the old device of folding
one dollar bills to represent two dollars.
They asked the youth If he had twenty
in gold for bills of like amount. lie
said he had and thereupon produced
the coin, which was transferred to
the pocket OF one of the men,
and the youth received in
return s5-four one dollar bills and a
silver dollar. He soon found out that
he had been duped. and reported to Con-
ductor Maloncy. lie at once went
through the ear, and amer the man had
been fully identified made him give the
boy back the SIS. some bluh and
buster was made, but the game did not
work, and, to avoid arrest, the man
gave up his illgottcn gain. The
"workers" all leit the train in this city.

Two shipments wcro made from the
Silver King, commonly known m
the Hall Bros mine, the first Of
which consisted OF 40 tons; yield
100 ounces in silver and - per cent.
copper; second shipment, 30 tons;
yield, 230 ounces In silver and 20 per
cent copper.
The mining engineer of tho North-
ern Pacific Railway Company who,
a few weeks ago, visited the Hot
Springs camp I'm the interest of that
corporation, gave 1t as his opinion
that with but n moderate amount
Of development work that camp
alone could produce IA daily output
of 800 tons of orc bearing shipment.
Ono of the advantageous features
of the Hot Springs Is that
all the properties are close
TO navig,ible water, some Of
them capable to bo developed
from the edge of the lake, and the
most remote are not over three miles
up the mountain. The leads are
well defined and massive, and, Ia
every instance wher, siuking opera
tlons have been carried on, the orc
bodies have proved richer as depth
was attained. Not q single pinch
out Is ON record in the whole camp
something that can not be said Of
many mining districts. The area In
which she lodes are found IL about
thirty miles In extent, which terri
tory Is literally crowded with min
eral-bearing lodes. Some OF the leads
have been traced for three miles, one
location Joining another the whole
distance. In no camp outside
Of Butte, Mont, as far as
known, Is the amount of high
grade mineral In sight as at Hot
Springs. aud the completion Of rail-
way lines to navigable waters on
Kooten al lake or river will transform
that locality into the livellest center
of activity In this province.
In tins connection 1t might be
mentioned that the Canadian Pnci-
fic line to Kootenai lake will he
completed within three months, and
this will give Vancouver direct com.
munication with this extensive ter
ritory. To the point where the road
will strike the lake will be tributary
nearly 200 miles OF nayigable water,
which, ms the lake never freezes, will
furnish communication with the ad.
jacent region during the entire year.
