REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
The Vault In Use Not Safe Enough, for III
County Records.

The Vault In Use Not Safe Enough for III
County Records.
To the Hon. G. II. Benton, Judge OF
the Eighth Judicial District in and 10
County Of Cascade, State Of Montana
Sir: Your grand jury do at this time de.
sire to make a special report upon the
subject Of the vaults for the keeping Of
the records and papers of this county
We find after what seems to US a care
full examination that the vaults are very
insecure and inadequate in their present
condition; and, further, that in case oil
fire in the building there is absolutely
no safety as regards the records and pa.
pers.
We believe that a feasible way can be
found to entirely eliminate the damage
any lack Of space by a seasonable expen.
diture OF money. We realize the great
Importance and necessity that the rec.
ords shall be kept in a place Of absolute
safety, especially as TO fire, and that
were they nee lost by any cause il
would be an impossibility to replace
them, and that those portions that could
be obtained would undoubtedly be at
the cost Of an enormous expenditure.
We therefore most respectfully recon.
mend that such steps be taken by the
honorable board of county commission
ers as will provide sufficient room or
space and, as near as may be, absolute
safety for the records, books, papers, and
other documents Of the county. Very
respectfully,
BENJAMIN F. STICKNEY, Chairman.

A RANCHMAN KILLED.
George IL. Bry IN Dragged to Death by
Runaway Team.

George II. Bry an Dragged to Death by a
Runaway Team.
George II. Bryan, vino lives with his
two brothers on a ranch the other side
OF the Missouri river a few miles from
Hilger's, met a frightful death on Tues.
day morning while driving towards Hell.
ena, says the Helena Herald. His team
was a brace Of young colts. and it is sup
posed that they became frightened at
something and ran away. At all events
Bryan's dead body was found on the
roadside near a fence three miles this
side of Hilger's. 1t was f~earfully bruised
and battered up, showing that he had
beer dragged to death by the runaway
team. Three ribs were broken ard the
head had a deep cut in the right side.
There were also many other injuries Of a
less seriaus nature. Bits Of the demol-
ished wagon we're picked up along the
road for a half mile, and the runaway
team was caught in the vicinity where
they had been stopped by becoming en-
tangled in the harness and gearing Of
the wagon. The horses were badly cut
but not seriously injured.
The body was taken back to the
Bryan ranch. where the Meagher county
authorities will probably hold an in
quest.

STILL ALIVE.

Living.

William Frost is Still In the Land OF the
Living.
Over a year ago, William Frost, who
lived at 10 Sixth avenue North, mys.
%teriously disappeared one night from
this city. His wife searched everywhere
for him as also did the police, but n
trace Of him could be found and the
opinion became general that he had LOST
his way in the dark and fallen into the
Missouri river. His wife gave him up
as dead and last fall disposed of her
household goods and with her children
returned TO the home Of her parents in
Detroit, Michigan. A few days ago
James Dopland, a contractor, returned
from the Blackfeet agency where he had
been to bid on q building to be erected,
and while there he learned that some
time early last fall a man arrived at the
agency who gave his name as William
Frost, but would tell no more about him.
self. He acted very strangely and was
frequently heard talking to himself
about his wife and children. He would
tell no q where he was from. He
staid on the reservation all winter and
only left about a month ago. He would
tell no one where he was going to but
the s%upposition is that he went across
the line to Lethbridge.
There was no cause for his leaving
home when ne did. He was a sober, in
dustrious man and lived happily with
his family. The only reason assigned
for his going away is that he became
suddenly insane and started a foot for
somewhere, not knowing himself. This
is the first intelligence received as to his
whereabouts since his sudden disap-
pearance. His friends will no doubt fol-
low up this clue.

Great Falls today receives the press
Of Montana with open arms, and vel.
comes to her midst with whole. souled
hospitality the men who, above all
others, have been instrumental In max.
ing known the wonderful OF
great state. This is the second time
In its history that this city has had the
honor Of entertaining this association,
and we trust with each succeeding visit
the ties Of friendship and fraternity will
become more firmly knit. This inter
mingling Of the newspaper men from all
parts Of the state helps more than any
other influence to dissipate sectional
prejudices and gives a larger acquaint-
anceship which liberalizes and better
qualities the members OF the association
for the important work which is before
them. The effects Of this associa-
ton are far.reaching in it's tendency
to elevate and uplift the profession Of
journalism, and il the newspapers Of this
state reflect the intelligence, energy, and
moral qualities Of the people we would
not suffer in comparison with any Sec
ton Of the United States.
Gentlemen, in the name Of the city Of
Great Falls, we bid you welcome. Your
comfort and entertainment have been
provided. The street cars carry you free
OF charge during your stay with us, rail-
road trains take you to the fair grounds,
smelters, Neihart, Belt, and Sand Coulee
without money or without price, and

The Helena Independent Of Thursday
gave the text in full Of the decision Of
the local land Office regarding the title
to the hot springs on the North fork Of
Sun river. This is the place where Maj.
Patrick formerly lived.
The controversy was between E. F.
Smith and +. r. Wallace. 1t seems that
Nov. %, 1891, Wallace as trustee for
Smith filed application for patent for
this land as mineral land, it containing
limestone, fireclay, ETC., being based on a
location made Jan. 16, 1890. On March
IA, 1893, Smith filed a protest, alleging
the ground was not valuable for mineral,
and also that the application conflicted
with q Valentine script location. filed by
him June %, 1891, for forty acres cover.
ing said land.
The evidence is curious. Smith teeti-
fed that he located the land for himself
and the defendants as the Ozeal placer
and performed labor on it to the amount
OF over $500. In the latter end Of 1891
and in 1892 he discovered it was worth
less for mineral purposes, the claim being
difficult Of access and the markets for
such minerals found on the claim being
% distant.
From the testimony Of witnesses it ap-
pesred the hot springs formed the prin-
cipsl value Of the land.
The reviewing officers are Of opinion
the mineral application should be can
celled. This, however, would notI inter
ere with the mineral applicants rights
by virtue Of their location Of the land
Their location is valid, which imposes
the burden Of proof On the plaintiff. Hot
springs are 40 bar to purchase Of min
eral land in character. After location
the ground was no longer open for sale
and it follows that this script location
should be cancelled. The act ordering
this script issued to Valentine provided
that 1t should he located pom nom

pied public land.

WHERE Is DANIEL CAMERON
Mysterious Disappearance of . Young
Mar Not Seen Since Sunday.

Mysterious Disappearance of . Young
Man Not Seen Since Sunday.
Daniel A. Cameron, aged q, son Of D.
Cameron Of Evans, went to work on Fri
day, May IS, for a mar named Elger,
living on the west side Of Deep creek.
On Sunday Elger went to Cascade on
business leaving the boy alone and tell
ing him il he got lonesome to saddle a
horse and take a ride. Elger came back
Monday night and found the cabin
locked, and no signs or trace Of the boy
or the horse, except his coat, vest and
shoes, which were in the cabin. The
boy was seen Sunday afternoon at a dis
lance riding on the range, a few miles
from Elger's, looking after tho %lattrr's
stock, by F. Gibbons and Mr.. Weber.
This is the last seen or heard OF him or
the horse 30 far as the boys father
knows, and he fears the young man has
met his death by accident from the horse
or that he was drowned with the horse
in essaying to ford Deep creek, which
was very high at the time. The horse
was a light buckskin, branded -. G." on
left hip or thigh. The saddle is a Texas
y inch saddle, with four pictures of
Texas steers on back part and sides; the
bride was a spade bit. The young man
was we'll known in the Kibbey country,
in Great Falls and vicinity. and in the
Judith country, having been on the
roundup in the latter place last fall.
He is smooth.faced and medium size,
with dark, curly hair. Should this fall
under the eye Of anyone who has seen
the boy or the animal a few lines ad-
dressed to d. Cameron, Evans, Mont d,
will be gratefully received by the anx-
ious father and a generous reward given
the person sending the information.

II CREE INDIANS.

To II EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
l wish to call your attention and that
Of the good citizens of Great Falls to the
fact, that the small band Of Indians
camping in this vicinity are seriously in
terfering with the rights of the white
men, in the fact that they are and have
been, gathering up the horns of the
extinct buffalo, and by polishing them
and ornamenting them have been able
to sell them to our people, and thus have
saved themselves from starvation. Now
as this 10 the white mans country, il
seems to me these worthless sons Of the
prairie should be driven away from our
fair city, and thus afford an opportunity
for u loyal Christian people to carry
on this industry, IL there is any money
in this business they want It them
selves. We drove out the Cinnamon,
why should we not be able to drive these
Indians away. But q more humane
method would be to call upon the cover.
nor, who came % loyalty to our rescue in
stopping the sun dance, to issue a proc
lamation ~forbidding these copper-colored
rascals from gathering these relics Of our
prairies, and appropriating them to their
v benefit. The citizens Of Montana
will ever be grateful to Gov. Richards
for coming to our rescue in q timely
manner to stop the sun dance, and l be-
lieve he will not fail to respond il called
upon again. The churches should by all
means see that this matter is given prop
or attention. RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The advance in the cattle market dur
ing the past week brings it up to nearly
it's natural level, says the Chicago
Drovers' journal. For the past three
months good fat cattle have been selling
at low tide, or at least low in proportion
to other products, but this advance will
bring it up to a pretty fair average. Four
dollars per hundred is too low to be
profitable to the raiser, but IL the feeder
u get IS in these times for choice fat
steers, he ought to be reasonably we'll
satisfied. Whether or not prices can be
maintained on the present basis depends
largely on the foreign demand and the
adjustment of domestic difficulties.

NO CIRCUIT RACES.
A Circular Which Has Been Received
With Deep Regret by the Cit.
izens Of Great Falls.
The Uncalled for Animosity Shown
Against the Entertainments for
This Week IL the Cause.

The following circular was issued to
the public early Wednesday morning by
L. Enright, lessee Of the North Montans
Fair grounds, and is self explanatory.
GREAT Falls, June 12, 1894.
To the Public: There having been &c
much interference snd animue dieplayed
in the matter Of the SUI dance and races
that were to have been held at the fair
grounds on June Ii, l6 and II next, and
fearing and believing that the same OF
similar influences will be brought to
bear upon and mai the success of the
race meeting that has been 30 extensive
ly advertised as to come off during next
month, l hereby give notice that all the
races that were to be held by the Great
Falls Racing association under my name,
being June Is, 16 and II, and July 9, 3,
4, ), 6 and I. 1894, are declared off. All
stakes deposited will be returned.
L. ENRIGHT.
The publication Of this circular has
not been entirely unexpected by some,
that we're aware Of the unpleasant in
cidents and opposition that were given
against the program, and the least that
can be said is-that it has been the
cause OF severe comment.
In conversation yesterday Mr.. En-
right stated it would be useless to pro-
coed when similar influences might be
brought forward in July, and render the
whole thing q failure. The expense en-
tailed will fall on himself and Milt

better shape than it has ever been be-
fore, they have brought water on the
grounds for the benefit Of the trainers
who have now about sixty horses in the
stables on the grounds, the lessee has
paid all expenses, but he considers all his
efforts as rendered nugatory.
Thus ends all prospects Of the great
July races, to which not only the resi-.
dents Of Great Falls, but people for hun
dreds Of miles around, had looked for.
