setting the Milk River valley and reclaim

lie in the extreme northwestern corner OF

TIE INDEPENDENT yesterday received let
tiers from Wolf Creek concerning the late
Indian scare. They are dated Jan. 20. and
are as follows:
Editor INpEpENDENT:-It would appear by
B. F. Stickney's communication from
Craig, that Harry Billings, John Gleason
and myself teIeeraphed Col. Curtis that
Indians got all ammunition at Craig to
injure MIR. Stickney at Craig. We got our
information from Mr.. Tuohey. superintend-
ent of the Montana Central railroad at this
point. On his assurance that he was not
mistaken, We telegraphed to Col. Curtis.
In conclusion we will say, that one and all
of us are under obligations to Col. Curtis
for the deep interest he manifested when
he received our telegram.
Fl. w. KRAus,
JOHN GLEASON,
HARRY L. BILLINGS.
Editor INDEpENDENT-In your issue of the
&c inst. l notice a statement signed by one
Il. +. Stickney, stating that myself and
others charged him with selling ammuni-
tion to Indians. l would beg leave to state
that the tow of Craig does not consist of
Mr.. Stickney and his ammunition. and us
his name was not mentioned in connection
with the affair, and as there are other peo-
pie living in Craig, WHO have more Or less
ammunition but who had too much good
sense to take offense at the bare mention of
the fact of ammunition being sold an out
slider. would infer that Mr.. otickney would
wish to indulge still further in cheap motor
iety. H.. L.. BILLINGS.

"pauts"-when he Is on his good behavior.
But there is fascination in the crisp An
glo-Saxonish kind of a word that leads many
prudent persons to sneak in 'pantsn where

public it has decided that it wants t. say

Wave of Gossip Concerning the
Famous Coachman's Hat-Who Ara
+be Funny Men of the Funny Papers?
typewriter and omen
Bowlers.
NEw YORK, Oct. 10.-The scene of rae
inc excitement has been shifted from Grave
.ond to Jerome Park. But what is techni-
calIv known as "the racing publicn is still
talking industriously about the extraordi-
nsry season on the Long Island track.
New Workers are again reading race
entries in the morning papers, for the
manager of Jerome Park has not made up
bs mind TO initiate the tactics of Phil
Dwyer by shutting every avenue Of infor-
nation against the pool rooms. Yet
r. ia discovered now that there was
sweetness in the stolen informa-
zion obtained during the Gravesend season.
Sgbe week of unhampered observation on
Mir Morris track has not contained half the
excitement furnished by one day OF de-
tective- haunted Gravesend, There was
fascination about horde of Pinkerton men
ali watching for some traitors who may be
communicating facts TO the outside world,
over or under that famous hige fence which
rose extremely high, tut somehow never
entirely excluded the outer world.
The coachman and his hat are still a
source of plentiful gossip. Every body has
his own theory about that coachman and
the manner OF his detection. This much is
definite, that the ''coachman" was one of
the cleverest telegraphic operators in Amer
ica that he had very cleyerly constructed
electric fash arrangement in his hat, and
IN
dashes of the Morse telegraphic system, was
read through slit in the crown by another
operator, armed with telescope, in hotel
tower $50 feet away.
Isaw the man yesterday who supplied the
reflector that was used to intensity the bril-
liancy Of the electric flash on the nat inte-
riOr, for by daylight even electric light
emits relatively mild gleam. The ap~
paratus throughout had been managed very
Shrewdly by experts under the pay Of the
Western Union company.
There is not such clear understanding as
TO the manner in which this most ingenious
Of all the means to circumvent Dwyer and
get Information to the pool rooms, was sup
pressed. AT the outset all the credit was
gwen to Bob Pinkerton, whose lynx eye was
supposed to have caught the gleam of the
electric light through the cut the crown of
that innocent looking coachman's hat, But
turns out that Bob Pinkerton did not see
the fash, nor did anybody else who wasn't
expected to see it, until trusted associate
Of the flching combination revealed the
scheme to Dwyer-for a consideration.
This consideration is now stated to have
been exactly 1000. Dwyer was told that
scertain system of sending information out
Of the grounds was in successful operation.
He was asked what it was worth to be "put
onton the secret system. Dwyer, as the
story now goes, said it would be worth ten
500 bills aud he put them down. Then the
informer, who was being paid much less TO
help the electrical coachman, pointed out
theingenious hat and the jig was up.

templative public with another period of
