A Indlan's Exciting Experience In . Nom
tana Theatre.

/ you see. it happcnedlike this said
an old-timer. ut was in '66. MY old
friend Bill Hamilton of Saltwater,
sometimes called Wildcat Bill, was
q United States Deputy Marshal and
Sheriff Of Cioteau county. There had
been some illegal whisky selling going
on around the B,ackfoot country and
finally Bill got after the guilty parties.
A young Indian named Two
Wolves got mixed up in the affair, and
Bill arrested him as a witness and
brought him to Helena. Howey was
Marshal here at that time and | was a
deputy.
When Bill arrived in town with his
Indian he called on Howey and me to
help take care Of him. Well, on the
night of the day that Bill and his
prisoner arrived there was some sort of
a show going on in an old hall up on
Bridge street. We all wanted to go,
but we didn't know what to with the
Indian. Finally Bill sad: we will.
take him along with u.s. which we
agreed to do.
Neither Bill nor the Indian had
ever seen a show before. Well, we
went up to the hall and got seats in the
gallery, the Indian being seated be-
tween Bill and me. I forgot what the
play was, but it was one of the old
fashioned Kind, where the whole COM
pany was killed off before the show
was over.
"We got interested in the perform
ance and forgot all about the Indian.
He kept quiet until the killing began.
When the actors began firing pistols and
showing knives the Indian got nervous,
and finally, when the people on the
stage began falling thick and fast, he
could stand the show no longer.
Suddenly he made Il Jump from the
seat, and before Bill and l could stop
him. that Indian had jumped clean
through a window near bv and out to
q sort of platform. He got down to
the ground, stole a horse somewhere,
and rode twenty-five miles bareback
down to the valley. There he stole a
saddle and went home again to his
friends in the tribe.
bill never caught him, but we heard
afterward that the Indian said the
reason he left was because he was
afraid of being killed. He said the
white folks in Helena were killing
each other on a platform in one end Of
the room and the rest of the people we're
sitting around laughing at the busi-
ness. '-hetcn0 INDEPENDENT.

Fishermen From Alb road

Thos. Warburton, Allan Macdonald
and A. T. Oliver, of Belmont, I'VE
county, were in town few days last
week. They came to enjoy the fine
fishing at our lake, and in company
with P. M. Bowler they made two trips
to the lake and caught large number
of bass. They are experienced anglers,
but they say that they have never seen
such fine fishing as the lake affords.
Mr.. Warburton hooked the largest
bass yet caught in the lake-nearly
three pounds-and in bis efforts to
land the fish he slipped on the rocks
and fell full length into the water. Ho
suffered no greater damage than com.
plele soaking. His companions pump
ed hun full of Double A and hustled
him home, none the worse for his bath
The Belmonters took fine lot of fish
home with them.
Supt. Shockley and w ]. Douglass
of the Dlablo Company arrived this
morning and at once proceeded to the
lake to catch bass. They are both
great sportsmen, and we expect to see
them ship a carload to Soda and Caa.
