WHERE CROWS LIVE
An Effort Will Be Made to Open the
Reservation.
MILLIONS OF RICH ACRES
Senator Mantle Promises to Bring,
II Possible. the Matter Before
Congress at This Session
Mr.. Becker's Letter.
MILLIONS OF RICH ACRE

A strong effort is being made to
secure the opening Of a portion at
least of the Crow reservation by an
act of congress at this session. The
people of Billings, Livingston and Of all
Custer and Yellowstone counties are
interested in the matter and are agi-
tating the subject. Senator Mantle,
just before his departure for Washing
ton, received the following letter:
billings, Mont. Nov. 16.-Hon. Lee
Mantle, Butte. Mont. Dear Sir: The
question of opening the Crow Indian
reservation for settlement from the
western line TO the Big Horn river, in
GLIDING that portion of the reservation
lying east OF the Big Horn river from
Fort Custer, 10 a matter In which the
people of Eastern Montana are much
interested. AS you are no doubt aware,
the Crow Indian reservation Is an en-
pire in itself, and contains several
million acres more land than is nee
essary to provide homes for these In
dams. The citizens and taxpayers of
this and adjoining counties have long
felt that the existence OF such a large
scope of country as that contained In
the reservation of the Grow Indians Is
a great BARRIER to the settlement of the
eastern part of the state, and believe
that the time has now arrive when a
mighty effort should be made to reduce
the Crow reserve to more nearly the
wants of the Indians. In this we have
the assurance of the hearty cooperation
Of our neighbors on the east-the people
OF Custer county. Now we would like
an expression from you upon this sub
ject for publication, giving briefly your
views as to the movement. and II, in
your opinion, an act OF congress can be
secured opening the country in question
for settlement. An early reply will
greatly oblige, truly yours,
"E. II. Becker, Publisher Gazette"
Senator Mantle's reply was as fol-
lows:
Butte City, Mont, Nov. 25.-E. H.
Becker. Editor Gazette. Billings, Mont.
My Dear Sir: Replying to your es-
teemed favor of the 18th inst. respect
ing the opening of the Crow Indian
reservation, permit me to say, briefly.
that I am in hearty accord with you as
to the necessity of cutting down the
present empire now set apart for these
Indians to a reasonable and common
sense area. The amount Of territory
assigned to the Crows is far in excess
of their needs and is an obstacle in the
way of settlement and development
of eastern Montana. What the prob
abilities are for securing congressional
action looking towards a cutting down
OF the reservation and throwing il open
10 settlement / am not at this moment
sufficiently Informed to judge. re-
gard tt. however, as a just and nee
essary measure and shall take pleas
ure, in conjunction with Senator Carter
and Representative Hartman, in push
ing 1t forward and in endeavoring to
secure prompt and favorable action.
Sincerely yours.

A Sad Case In Indiana.

From the Washington Post.
The arrest, after a desperate strug-
gle. and the subsequent incarceration
OF one Amos Quigley of Castleton, lno.,
have led to the publication OF very
interesting IL sad history. Quigley is
well known citizen an ardent oe"o
crat, and an enthusiastic admirer OF
Mr. Cleveland. But he has been cap
tured Notwithstanding a furious resist
ance, and is now locked up on a charge
of insanity. He will be examined py
experts and, the chances are, Will De
put into a padded room furnished with
Just enough straw to work into his
hair.
Yet Quigley hasn't done a thing ex-
cept to proclaim Mr.. Cleveland a god
and threaten the life of any man who
disputed the proposition. On all other
points he Is quite reasonable. lie Is
dignified, peaceable. industrious, ana
law-abiddng. He sets a good example
to the rising generatfon-an example or
sobriety and frugal industry. He SIM
ply says that Mr.. Cleveland is not NOR
tal-that ne is a deity-and he is en-
tirely certain that any one who disa-
grees with him should be put TO death.
His friends say that he has been get
ting worse ever since the elections OF
last week. He was greatly excited on
the 9Th. Quite a number OF trivial and
scoffing persons said to him, that day,
that the democrats would be beaten
everywhere, and they added, In
thought1ess ribaldry. that the defeat
would be due TO Mr.. Cleveland's lead
ership. That annoyed but did not
brighten Quigley. He merely smiled a
stage smile, dissembled his fury and
proceeded to vote with that frequency
and freedom which has made the In
diana democracy at once the envy and
the despair of modern times. When
the returns came in next day. how
ever, and he found that his party had
been literally showed under every
where except in Mississippi. where the
winters are always late. Quigley began
to brood. He remembered what those
irreverent persons had said the day
before. and he thought of them as re
peating and gloating over their absurd
and lmpious representations as to the
result and their wicked and extrava-
giant statements as to the cause there
OF. Then he decided that the divinity
of Mr.. Cleveland should be concealed
no longer The time had come for a
proclamation. So he equipped himself
with a speaking trumpet and double
fbarreled shotgun, his idea being to first
announce the advent and afterward to
fill skeptics full of holes.
And now, as we have said already.
our esteemed contemporary. Amos
Quigley, has been surrounded, cap
tured and thrown into the deepest dun
geon beneath the castle moat. He
proved to be prophet without honor
and a herald without credit IN the be-
sotted state of Indiana 1t is the very
| saddest case we have heard of since
the failure of the millennium 40 years
ago.

The Great Boston Gathering is
over-There Were 6,2S5 Reyes
tered Delegates.

BOSTON, Mass, July 16.-Last
night the 18th, International
Christian Endeavor convention

were held. Approximately $4,000
men and women came from all
over the north American continent
as delegates, others came from
strange and distant lands and the
most powerful nations have been
represented In this vast gathering.
While the publisher Of q great
paper in Chicago offered the society
the tempting inducement OF $1,000
q year for three successive years,
on the condition that the head
quarters of the organization be re-
moved from Boston to the city by
the lakes, the trustees at their
meeting last Thursday made an
answer characteristic Of the princi-
Piles of the society: "No" they

A Red Handed Fiend Jailed.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-The
finding of the bodies of the two Pit
zell children in Toronto has created
a sensation in police circles in this
city. The authorities are convinced
they were murdered by the arch
conspirator, III. Holmes, who is now
in prison in this city awaiting trial
on charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Family Mutual Life In
surance association Of $4,000. 1t is
probable that the charge against
Holmes will be changed from con-
spiracy to murder, as it is generally
believed that Pitzell is really dead
and that Holmes murdered him.
1t could not be learned today
whether the district attorney had
taken any action, but it is thought
he will refrain from doing
anything until after the coroner's
inquest in Toronto, The question
is now whether Holmes will be
held for trial here on the charge of
numbering Pitzell or be taken to
Canada to answer for the death OF
the two little girls. 1t is believed
that as the Philadelphia murder
antedates the Canadian murder
the man will have to stand trial

Gas for Glasgow.

GLASGOW, Scot, July 16.-The
report concerning the consumption
of gas in Glasgow has been made
up for twelve months. 1t shows
that in spite of the growing use Of
electric light there has been a
steady rise in the use of the older
illuminant. The increase has been
260,0O0,000 cubic feet, or over z per
cent, making the total for the year
4,0OO,000,000 cubic feet. The pecu-
liarity is that the increase has
taken place to a very considerable
extent in the central area OF the
city where electric light is sup
piled. Coincidently with the in
creased demand in this depart
ment there has also been an in
crease In the use of electric light,
though not in anything like the
same proportion.

SONORA STAGE ROBBERY.
The Mexican Government Has q
Firm Way of Stopping
Future Hold-Ups.

TUCSON, Ariz., July 16.-James
A. Crowley, one of the Americans
held up in the recent robbery of
the Nacasari stage, in Sonora, Mex
leo, arrived here today. Crowley
stated that he, with Edward Wood
ruff, paymaster of the Nacssari
Mine company, who was returning
from Ell Paso with money to pay
the miners, and a Mexican named
Moreno. The stage was am
pushed by three men on the
road near Coachata. Crow.
ley was forced into the
brush and robbed, but Woodruff
escaped to neighboring ranch.
The robbers, however, secured
Woodruff's valise, which contained
$4,000 in Mexican money and $1,000
in American gold. The driver,
who whipped up his team and
tried to escape, was shot dead. The
robbery was reported to the au-
thorities and In twelve days, by d.
rection of the governor of So
nora, President Frontereras was
placed under arrest. This was fol-
lowed shortly by the arrest of
Tribola, his foreman, and two other
Of his employees. Next morning
they were taken by Major Moldero,
and police about six miles in the
direction of the scene of the rob-
berry and there shot by the road
side.
Fifteen hundred dollars of the
stolen money were found in the
house Of Tribola. The man who
robbed Crowley in the bush es-
capped but was subsequently cap
tured and executed in the presence
Of the whole town of Oposura, who
turned out to see him shot. The
authorities are said to have the
names of about forty men who
were more or less implicated in the
robbery, and who are scattered all
over the country to avoid arrest.
