A TEST CASE.
A Soldier Arrestcd At Fort Mlssoula fol
Opening Letters.

sH.HN.. -
A Soldier Arrested at Fort MlssouiA 10,
Opening Letters.
A decidedly interesting question ID to bt
heard in tho courts very soon. William A
Brown, a colored soldier at Fort Missoula
was given a sealed letter by a domestic In
the employ Of one of the officers at the post
TO mail at NissoulA last November. The
letter contained u $40 bill and was stamped,
The domestic also handed Brown ten cents
to have the letter registered. The p~ostofice
officials say that Brown opened the letter
and took the $40, After this he placed the
letter in another envelope and directed it to
the original address and registered 1t.
When Postofice Inspector Watkins took up
the matter he went to Brown and accused
him of stealing the money. Brown denied
the charge but admitted that it was his
hand writing on the envelope produced by
the inspector. Marshal Furay went to Mis-
soula last Wednesday and arrested Brown,
leaving him in charge OF the sheriff there.
While the marshal was away ON
soms other business in the Flathead coun-
try Judge Marshall issued a writ of habess
corpus directed to Sheriff Houston to bring
Brown into his court. The marshal got
back in time to take charge of his prisoner
Houston making return that he wal merely
holding the man for the United States Off
Ger. An soon rs Judge MARSHALL learned
the facts he dismissed the case and Brown
will havo a preliminary hearing before
the United States commissions at Missoula
tomorrow.
The charge against him Is robbing the
mails. United States Attorney Weed will
push the case i'll order to settle the question.
1t is considered q fine point i'll law whether
Brown is guilty or not, for he took the
out Of tho letter before it WAS reg
and it is a question whether it was
in the possession of the government when
Brown received it from the woman and
to mail it.

NO COLORED POLICEMEN.
A Young Colorcd Man Has Something "a

~ 1Ouo& C0lOrCu MAN I1us something "a
Say.
The Republican party Of Helena does moi
show much love for tho negro. Several
months have gone by and still no colored
man has been appointed policeman Of Hell
ena, Notwithstanding there were four APP
plicAtions for q place ON the force, and all
were objected to for good reasons except
Hsncc, the old soldier, who had excellent
references from some of our most re-
apected citizens. He Ia q mar In ev cry re-
spect qualified to fill the required duties OF
a policeman; he has served honorably and
twenty years. and has papers to show that
he has seen some very hard service in Texas,
New Mexico and Colorado. Hut the col
ored men Of Helena who call themselves
old ora went solid against him because
he had been "a soldier, something that
honor it has conferred upon us.
Every man canno be a soldier for his
physical and mental abilities would not al
ways come up to the right examination,
which a man has to go through before he is
publican friends ! don't make that asser-
tion that the Indianapolis Sentinel made
about you prove true. 1t was this: "The
fact is that the republicans care nothing
whatever about the negroes except on cleo
tion day. They are willing that the colored
man shall lave offices and social equality.
and anything else they may want in the
south, but in the north they do not associate
with the negroes. they do not appoint or
elect them to office; they do not give them
opportunities to rise in the world; they
have nothing to do with them except dur
ing campaigns. And yet the negroes are
the backbone of the republican party.
Without them the party could not have
carried a presidential election since 1868,
and would be in q hopeless minority in
most of the important states"
lido not concur with all of the above
statements, but l am reluctant to say that
a great deal of 1t is so. Colored friends,
We want a little moro unity and independ-
ence. A YOUNG TIMER,
