Reports of Outbreaks.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The In
dian office puts no credit in reports
from Winnipeg that the Turtle Mount
ain Chippewa Indians in North Dakota
have gone on the warpath. Some time
ago two of the Indians telegraphed TO
the bureau complaining the United
States deputy marshal was interfering
with the cutting of timber by them.
The Indian agent. Ralph Hall, was in.
structed to visit the scene of the trou-
BILE and smooth matters over. He told
the bureau that he was about to start
and expected no trouble The report
probably arises from these facts. The
Indians are civilized and have a large
intermixture of white blood They
have the right to cut timber under
certain circumstances.

them Lester d. Rogers. Mr.. Rogers is
also a cement contractor, and he said

the motion at some length and presented
q number of authorities in support of his

fed with the authorities quoted which, in
his opinion, did not bear on the case at
issue. As matter OF fact there are NJ

In sths case complication has arisen
from the fact that both Thompson and
Martin were technically guilty of an IN
lawful act in opening the bottle and
drinking the wine. The package had been
sent to Thompson with instructions to
hand it to the porter, Sandy Gardner,
when he came through on the train.
Gardner was not on the train and of
course the bottle was not delivered.
When supper time came the men appro-
priated the bottle, which was labeled

drank the contents but for the bitter
taste.
As is was, they took only a small sip
each, but it was Sufficient to cause death,
as the wine, only about half pint. held

Counsel for the defense laid great stress
on the fact that the men were engaged
in an unlawful act when they came to
their death and that il they had done as
they were asked and as they should have
done they would probably now be alive
and we'll.
At the conclusion OF Judge Davidson's
remarks Judge Smith suggested that he
would prefer to have additional authori-
ties submitted and also that he should
like to examine them himself
Judge Davidson then stated that he did
not think that the defense would offer

they did it would not take more than

On this understanding Il recess was

An InsoIent Old Beggsr

Jim Morris was before Justice Owens
yesterday on charge of vagrancy, Officer
Baker having placed the hobo under ar

others, is in the mad run after the al

nections in the east, and he operates with
an unusual display or regard for them.
He refuses to soil his hands with work
and so goes armed with tale of woe on
his lips and subscription list in his

judging from his inebriated condition
Thanksgiving evening, he spends the
