TROUBLE WITH REDSKINS.
MONTANA INDIANS ARE LAND
COVETOUS.
Hence the Alterations in Which
Two of Them Lost Their VAL
liable Lives-Reports OF
the Trouble Badly
Exaggerated.
Might Have Been Worse.

Helena Mont, Special. March IL
Reports sent out from Laurel last night
of open warfare on the newly coded por-
ton of the Crow reservation are some
what exaggerated. Two reds have been
killed near Wilscy within the last week.
The first one was killed because he got
full of whisky and besieged the station
single-handed After lively exchange
of shots he was laid out by the village
storekecper. The two dozen inhabitants
of Wilsey had taken refuge in the sta
ton house, from which the shot was
fired that brought Lo down. Thursday
morning there came Il report of the kill
ing of Little Face, a Crow Indian, by Il
settler living four miles east of Wilsey.
Little Face had taken a fancy to the
land the settler had homesteaded. and a
few days ago had driven the white man
off with gun. Thursday he revisited
the ranch, and finding the white man
there again became ugly, threatening the
white mans life. He was reaching for
his gun when the ranchman shot him
dead. Ranchmen in that vicinity are
said to be moving their wives and chill
drcn to places of safety and preparing
to defend their claims with their lives
it necessary. WilSey is on the newly
opened portion of the Crow reservation.
Much of the land is unsurveyed, and as
accurate locations of the Indian allot-
mcnts have not been made, a bitter feel
ing exists between the Indians and the
white settlers. There are but few In
dams in that section, however, and If
any serious trouble occurs it will be due
to the evil influence of the worthless
squaw men who have married Crow
women and want the best land on the
reservation for nothing

LESSON THAT WILL LAST.

We are not disposed to indulge in ex-
ultation over the developments of yes
terday in regard to the municipal cleo
ton. They constitute humiliating
chapter in the city's history and show
the hazard of allowing the lowest ele-
ments of party to come to the front
and take the direction of affairs. 1t is
only fair to say that there is no evidence
that any of the prominent Democratic
leaders were privy to the frauds that
were attempted, or knowing to them. 1t
must be said, however, that there was
less reluctance to accept the fruits of
returns tainted with strong suspicion
than could have been wished. Further
more there was an apparent disposition
to throw obstacles in the way of an
ascertainment Of the facts which was
not creditable. But the disclosures of
yesterday have brought abundant pun
ishment to all decent Democrats, and it
is doubtful if we could add anything to
their discontinue and disgust, even if we
were 80 disposed.
To the portion of the party-and we
are afraid it is one of considerable size
whose only regret is that the crooked
ness did not succeed it would be useless
to say anything. They are affected by
nothing but fear of punishment.
1t should be matter of congratulation
to all decent people of both parties that
the conspiracy did not succeed, be-
cause it's success would have had a cor
rupting influence that would have been
far reaching. Had it gone through it
would have been followed by more of
the same sort, and eventually our NUM-
cipal politics would be placed on SO low
plain that decent men would have
nothing to do with them. We are en-
clined to think that the result Of this
affair will be wholesome. An object
lesson has been afforded our law abiding
people of the great danger of inspiring
the hoodlums with enthusiasm which
they will not soon forget. and for some
years the hoodlum element of the com
munity will not be cultivated. The
prominence which they have enjoyed for
year past is gone for many years to
come, and the result can only be in the
interest of an honest and orderly conduct
of the city affairs.

An examination Of the check list

These all went undoubtedly to swell
Mr.. Ingraham's vote. But this is prob
ably only part of the fraud. There is
not much doubt that ballots thrown for
the Republican candidates were trans
ferred to the Democratic column, though
of course as the ballots have been des-
troyed this cannot be conclusively
proved. Mayor Ingraham may have car
ried the ward by from 70 to so majority,

The withdrawal of the Hawaiian treaty
from the Senate is not to be regretted.
The treaty was made somewhat hastily,
and since it was made certain facts have
come to light which renders it somewhat
doubtful if the arrangement will prove
an advantageous one. The annexation
of territory such as Hawaii is not a
matter to be concluded without delibera-
ton, unless there is some great exigency
requiring haste, as for instance mani
festation of an intention on the part of
some other nation to take possession of
it, and no such exigency exists in this
case

ably make good use of it.

That Mayor Ingraham had any knowl-
edge of the fraud that was resorted to to
elect him until the evening preceding the
appearance of his letter refusing to ac-
cept the Office no one will believe. Doubt
less the return from Ward 1 excited his
suspicion at first, but certain plausible
explanations of the great increase in the
Democratic vote were presented to
him and doubtless proved sufficiently
convincing to allay his fears.

pressing engagements in the courts-the
next election will have to be held under
his auspices, and the vote must be
counted and declared by him. Mr..

unless he gets out voluntarily it may be
that an indignant populace will rise up
and put him out. Mr.. Harper should

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

In these days of amateurish American
novels and the pot-boilers of the English
press it is more than mere relief, it is
positive qualification to take up a strong
and finished work like the Commander
Mendoza of Juan Valera-a work of art
wrought by a master who knows the
worth. the absolute necessity, of study
in color and design; who treats his art
with reverence and seeks to master it by
loving service; who knows and hon.
ors the traditions Of the high and subtle
craft of fiction while capable of dis
regarding them opportunity; who does
not disdain to dignity worthy material
with the expenditure Of labor and elab-
crate finish; who reverences the masters.
but never permits himself to become the
slave of the model.
The story is entirely delightful in it's
translation. In the original it must be
exquisite. 1t is work of high art, as
we'll as tale worth the telling, and one
most comfortable to read.
