An Indian Owns the Town.

Bonner's Ferry is puzzled. The citizens
don't know whether they are at home or
on Indian land. Until few days ago
they were not worried about Indian
claims, but at present these form n very
lively topic for discussion.
The trouble was started by the an
nouncement that the government had
allotted 10 tracts of land to the 10 heirs
of old Dick Fry. the pioneer settler at
the ferry. who married a squaw. The 10
allotments aggregate $50 acres. and one
tract of 40 acres. claimed by Arthur FRY.
includes the original town site This has
been indifferently known as Fry's post
Office and Bonnor's Ferry. 1t includes the
hotel. the postoffice. number of stores
and many residences. Altogether it is
claimed to be the most valuable part of
the town site.
The people Of Bonner's Ferry do not
know what TO do. Some of them think
the title can be overthrown. Others are
inclined to think the Indians title indie
fensible and attempt a compromise. The
fact that if this title is sound he will not
be able to dispose of the land for quar-.
ter of Il century adds perplexity to the
case, although attorneys say there may
be ways to remove that difficulty.-Spo-

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Co,icgian's Advice To His Father Whicl
Ee>ulted DisastrOusiy.

Hesulted DisastrOusiy.
4 college student in one of our west
ern states returned home after his course
was finished to find that his father. Il
Clergyman with a small salary, was
eking out his living by running small
farm. One Of the adjuncts Of the farm
was COW, 4 pretty good animal, which
however, had Il strong aversion TO being
miiked.
Here was an opportunity for display
of the lately acquired knowledge of the
Juvenile collcgian.
Father" said he, professor q. says
If one will place a weight upon cows
back it will make her give down the
milk''
Tho reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor g.,
decided to try the simple remedy In
stead, however, of placing n weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it. But then he
answered the purpose. The cow, how
ever, was still obstinate.
''Tic my legs under the cow" said
tho father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displeasures by
rearing and plunging, entirely unmind-
full of the dignity of the parsonage
astride her spinal column. 1t was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipeds concerned i'll the transac
lion.
''Cut the rope, cut the rope!" shout.
ed Mr. V. to his dutiful son, meaning
the rope by which he was attached tc
.he cow
But the son. being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was fas-
tened to the stanchion. At once avail
ing herself of the liberty thus offered.
the COW took an unceremonious exit
from the stable, and down through the
street she went The minister accom-
panied the COW. but in Il manner not ex-
actly bcfitting the dignity of his profcs
sion
As il happened. one of the sisters of
the congregation was on the street ~
the race was in progress. Surprised at
such sight, the good sister cried ont,
"Why. Brother v. where are You go
ing"
His sense Of the ludicrous coming to
his aid, Brother V. shouted back: THE
Lord and the COW only know / don't
The clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward perch and never 1T
tempted the feat again.
