Csriin Dsss Net Hold Hinsslf Rsspeasibls
for Celgssss Death.
Young Carlin has written yet another
letter to Capt. Merriam, OF Spokane, ex-
plaining( p his position in the Colgate
affair. In which, referring to public SEN
timent against himself and Himmel-
wright, he says: II am more sorry than
I can tell you that the public feels that
way about us, but 1t can't be helped,
suppose. In regard to your two sug-
gestions, am glad you made them.
had not the heart to tell Colgate out and
out that we knew he was lost, but
said enough TO him 30 that, IL he had
not been 80 dull and stupefed, he must
have seen that he was lOst-and yet he
never made mention of his family"
In another place the letter reads:
"In regard to the statement that we
waited for him until 10 o'clock the first
morning after leaving Colgate, l never
knew just how that came to be made
whether we made it unthinkingly OF
whether it was missprint. My diary
says we left camp at s a. H., and also
that we made about ga miles the day
before, walking from IL to $50 o'clock
Over the country we came Colgate
could not have walked at all, and in all
probability he never made 200 yards, al
five days before that he was unable to
make 100 yards over fat without as
sistance."
Speaking of going back after Colgate
the letter said:
"As you say, we ought to have gone
back and found his body, although I'm
certain the majority, If not all of US
would have said no had the propose
been made, as only two Of the party hat
any confidence in getting out alive. Tit
bottle story is nonsense: there were M
bottles on the river and Colgate had M
pencil. He had given me his pencil
early in October"
Referring to Mrs. Colgate, young Car
lin continues:
Il gave her more money (s25 thar
we owed Colgate, and all l had to Civ,
aside from my expenses home, and
promised to send money regularly u

People who are interested in the In

upon the federal capital this winter.
Many steps calculated to improve the
condition Of the tribes are expected to
be taken before Congress adjourns. All
OF them are directed to a common end,
the encouragement Of the tribes in the
ways Of civilization and the substitution
OF agriculture for nomadisrn.
Up to date it is said the Cnur d'Aiene
Indians have received 100000 from
Uncle Sam. The Spokanes, who are
more numerous and once held three
times as much land, have had just $685.

winter. A special appropriation has
been asked for Lots Indians, who did
not get even slice Of that s95 900, and
they are to be given plows, wagons,
spades and such suggestive implements.
The agents remember too well how the
CGnr d'Alenes spent their ready money
for poker chips, pianos, hearses, and
other grotesque Injuries, to recommend
trusting Indians with much cash again.
Besides the farming tools, the govern.
ment will be asked to provide school
for Lots tribesmen.
Experiments are also to be made with

HEARD PROM At LAST.
"sss ron the Ksudriek Relief PARTY. a, n.
Upper Clearxat4r.

""' nom the ksadriek Relief Party. On III,
Upper Clearwater.
Word has finally been received from
.ne Colgate relief party sent out from
hendrick Dec. n. On the 18th Of Jsnu
AIRY the men were at Hamilton's cabir
on the middle fork of the Clearwater
about 10 miles from Kendrick and q
miles from where Colgate is supposed
70 DC. The following is from q letter
sent back by Mr.. Pitman, one of III,
members OF the party:
We arrived here CHamiltOn's) yester
Gay evening. Colby and have secures
4 canoe from some trapDers on PET
King creek, one mile above here and
ne WIN start up the river tomorrow
..e 1th, with one months rations. Ore
u Inc trappers, Walters, goes with us
We turned out our horses when we got
mere. There Is about one foot of snow
We sun have hopes of finding Colgate
awe and, returning, expect TO reach
kendrick about Feb. l4th."
The party had made excellent prog
fess, averaging 20 miles a day on foot
over rough trail, leading their pack
horses. As the letter from pitman |,
dated over twelve days ago, the party
must now be well up Black canyon and
within a short distance Of the place
where Colgate was deserted by Carlin's
OUTFIT. Nothing has been heard from
the Post Falls party since it left the
north fork, - miles from Kendrick
This party has taken the same trail the
kehdrick party is on, and is about five
days behind the latter. At the time the
above letter Was written the Kendrick
people were about five miles from Nc
Cleary's ranch and five miles below the
point where the Carlin party was met
by Lieut.. Elli0tt-that is, 20 miles be
low the head Of Black canyon, where
Colgate was left. The fact that they
have taken canoe with them indicates
an intention 10 follow the bed of the
riser up the canyon as far as possible
and as the river is very low at this sea
son they will doubtless be able 10 push
forward quite rapidly. They will un
doubtedly thus shorten their route u
the head Of the canyon. and 1t is proba
bic have reached that now famous spo,
by this time.

Obituary Mrs. Ellen Hickey.

Mrs. Ellen, wife OF John Hickey. OF
this place. died on Tuesday evening last
at the age of GO years. Thursday fore
noon the remains were conveyed to the
Catholic church, where mass for the
dead was celebrated by Rev. Father
Becker. In the afternoon the funeral
service took place, Rev. Becker preach
ing a most appropriate sermon on the
resurrection of the dead and the hope of
eternal life that comforts and strength
ems the good Christian at the hour Of
dissolution. The choir rendered some
beautiful sacred music, and the bell was
solemnly tollcd as the mortal body Of
this good, pious, charitable wife and
mother was borne away TO the little
cemetery near Fort Sherman, where it
was laid to rest.
Mrs. Hickey was born in Ireland. She
came to this country when l3 years Of

was married to John Hickey. They

who has spent the best years of his life
rs soldier in the Union army during
the Rebellion, and afterward-has the
sincere sympathy of our whole people
in his bereavement in the evening OF
life. Were it in their power his friends
would indeed dry the mourners' tears
but that would be contrary to Natures
plan. for tears are given to ease the an
guished heart, But, so far as human
coincidence can so, it is sincerely ex.
tended to the sorrowing husband and
children Of the deceased.
