The trial of the Ford brothers,
charged with the murder of Hans
Thompson, a neighboring rancher
on the Prickley Pear, on March %,
last, began in the court at Helena
this week. The men had been on
hard terms over disputed land and
the state claims that the Fords got
drunk and went to Thompsons place
and killed him. The defense is that
the men went there to arrange for IA
right of way through Thompson's
place and that he assaulted them.
and taking their rifle struck A. w.
Ford over the head, and that in do
ing so the rifle was discharged, kill
ing Thompson. The trial will las,
several days.

Battle With a Mountain Lion.

John Murphy, an old miner, has
had lively experience with a noun
tain lion in the foothills southeast of
Butte. Murphy has some mining
property in that neighborhood, and
had been out there for several days
looking after it. He was accompan-
led by several dogs, and while walk
ing through clump of timber he
felt something biting on his trousers.
He thought that one of his dogs had
been struck with a playful mood and
paid no attention to the first bite,
but at the second bite, which took
away the seat of his pants, he turned
about in alarm, and found himself
confronted by big, hungry-looking
mountain lion. Murphy's hair rose
on end and his knees trembled, an(
then he gave yell and started dowr

and early washing clothes, shaving,
and otherwise putting themselves in

ley, who is furnishing them with
plenty Of substantial food and last
evening had them transferred to the

received at the hand of marshal Ha

Matters Relating to the Great
Cree Sun Dance at
Great Falls.


The Northwestern National bank
of Great Falls is one of the solid
banking institutions of this city, says
the Tribune, and the business men
of northern Montana are proud of its
standing and its continual growth in
the confidence of the people gener-
ally. Nothing succeeds like success,
and the Northwestern National fills
the bill to the letter. Yesterday
there was a change in two of the off
ices, James L. Stanford stepping
from the cashiers desk to that Of
vice president, vice &. r. Conrad, re-
signed, and B. ID. Hatcher, late cash
ier of the Globe National bank of
kalispell, taking the place of Mr..
Stanford as cashier.
The regular meeting of the stock
holders Of bank will be held about
the first of July, when the capital
stock of the bank will be increased
to S2oO,OOO and a number of new di-
rectors added to the board.
The stockholders of the Boston 4
Montana company have become
largely interested in the bank, ane
Mr.. Hatcher will represent their in
terests in the bank.
Mr.. Stanford, the new vice pres
dent, will remain in the bank as here
tofore and continue in active man
agement.

IT'S A DANDY.
Struck at Fostoria, Ohio. The Gas
Record Broken.

The largest gas we'll in the Ohio
or Indiana fields was just drilled out
at Horace farm west of Fostoria.
The lease is owned by the Chicago
Oil company and the we'll was start
ed last week in territory which was
considered worthless. The well is
estimated at 5O,OOO,O00 feet per day
the largest well on earth.
The gas caught fire and as resul,
the wells are blazing in many places
The flames shot up 100 feet among
the tree tops. A curious feature i.
that in 100 places water is spouting
through the ground to a height o
ten to twenty feet.

Large Meeting Of Unemployed.

There was large meeting of the
unemployed in the hay market at
Minneapolis Wednesday. 1t is esti-
Mated that at least 1000 were pres
ent, most Of them claiming to be out
of work. The object of the gather
ing was to awaken public sympathy
in practical measures for furnishing
work to the unemployed. 1t was re-
solved to ask the mayor and council
to furnish as much work as possible
on improvements, and for the pur-
pose of directly influencing the aid
ermen it was dete rmined to organize
the unemployed into ward clubs
which should apply to the aldermen
individually. Gen. Holmes expect
|@ed to take 400 men out at 2 that If,

gave battle to the lion. The latter
worsted the dogs and escaped into
the timber. One of the dogs was so
badly torn that he will probably die,

the dogs had not come to Murphy's
assistance he would have been killed;
as it was he escaped unharmed. The

All the evidence in the Hanks
trial was concluded last monday and
the lawyers started to talk Tuesday.
The case did probably not go to the
jury before Wednesday afternoon.
H. P. Rolfe, one of the directors, was
the first witness Monday. He testi-
fed as to the standing of the various
debtors debtors of the bank, and said
as to his own Indebtedness and that
of the Leader had been covered by

White Men All About the Pro-
posed Sun Dance.

After the adjournment Of the
chamber of commerce Messrs. j. =.
Dyas and Joe Lessard addressed
meeting in behalf of allowing the
proposed Sun dance at the fair
grounds to proceed. Mr.. Lessard
declared that not more than 300 In
dians would be present, that no
whiskey would be allowed, and that
he would be responsible to the coun ,
ty officers not on y for good order
during the dance, but that all the
visiting Indians would Immediately
return to the places from which they
came. Little Bear was then intro
duced to the audience, and through
Joe Rossette, half breed interpreter,
he made a speech to the audience as
follows: 81 am glad to speak to SO
many white men. don't want to
do any bad things. ! don't want
any whiskey brought by white men
to my camp, to make the hearts of
my people bad. | don't want to see

what God put me here to do-to
make big sun dance-to make
penance for wrong done and feel
bad. will eat nothing for two days
and two nights to punish myself. !

American. | want to make my liv-
ing. can work and make my liv-
ing. ! want some white man to find
me some work to do. That's what
God put me here 10 do. The sun
dance will be for two days and two
) nights. Then the Indians will 90
away. / will do what the white man

say" Chief Little Bear spoke in
the Indian tongue in short jerky
: sentences which were translated very
rapidly into broken English by the
Il interpreter and each sentence was
accompanied by IA sweep of the arm
