GRANITE. Oct. 19.-Now that the CAM

is abroad in full force and no candidate
for Office on any ticket is safe. Sherih
Quigley is one of the victims of the vicious
ness OF this mean way of carrying on q
campaign and n story has been started on
him that Is calculated to injure him
among the workingmen Of the county.
il is related that some two years ago
Sheriff Quigley was requested by the
Granite company to appoint six deputies
for the protection of their property and
the request being n perfectly correct one
was Immediately complied with and the
following is n true and correct copy OF the
appointment:

purpose Of watching and protecting the prop

Sheriff Of Deer Lodge County, Montana.
After the appointments were made and
became generally known who were ap.

thought that three of the men were not
the right sort of persons for such an Office
and told Mr.. Quigley SO. whereupon their
appointments were promptly annullcd
and three others who wero satisfactory TO
all parties concerned put i'm their places.
This is the record and cannot he denied.

the swagger girl who sat behind them.

How an Indian Hunter Walks.


The Indian hunter has distinctive gait.
His toes, either straight before him or pointing
inward, cover the center Of gravity. His hips
sway slightly TO the stepping side. and his rear
foot is not exactly lifted, but rather peeled of
the ground just high enough to clear the sur
face, and settled in It's new place before the
weight comes on ID. He does not swing his
shoulders nor walk with a spring nor plant his
foot with q shock, as the white man does. If
the Indian were turned to stone while in the
act Of stepping the statue would probably stand
balanced on one foot
This gait gives the limbs great control over his
movements. He is always poised. IL a stick
cracks under him it is because Of his weight
and not by reason of tho impact. He goes
silently and with great economy of force. The
muscles have less strain on them, and do not
tire so soon. Sometimes it seems as il they
never tired. He treads through woods and
swamp5 and down timber with no noise except
the rustling of the grass and leaves disturbed BY
his passage.
His steady balance enables him to put his
moving foot down as gently as you would lay
an egg on the table. You could not hear the
sound Of a football if you listened a week. The
gait is not elastic nor springy nor handsome,
and it even makes the man somewhat bow
legged. Put the same person in leather boots
on floor and you would say that he stumped
along, but in mOccasins on a hunt he does not
walk, be glides.

lfOuLTS COmpdnt0n.l
In the early days Of the civil war the Maine
volunteer regiments were quartered at Augusta
for several weeks after their organ zation, to be

Many Of the soldiers were young men from the
country, In whose pockets the bounty money
burned as long as 10 lasted, 10 the great ad-
vantage Of Augusta store and stable keepers.
Two soldiers came into a livery stable one
morning and asked the proprietor how much
he ewould charge for q team to go to Wateryille.
Six dollars" was the reply.
The bargain was closed, and the soldiers
drove of. Toward night they returned, and
one Of them stepped into the office and ten
dered the proprietor So.
"Oh, no." he exclaimed, "youF bill is sl2"
How is that?p
"Why. you asked me how much for q team
to take you to Waterville, and / said So; but
you came back, didn't you? 1 meant s6 each

The two friends, after a little conference,
paid the swindler the $I2 and went away with
out word.

at the stable office and inquired:

prietor 20 his meditations about the comparative
smartness Of civilians and soldiers.
