the instigation OF Pat O'Bricn. signed
the call for an independent convention,

parties signing the call looked into the

therein the columns Of U. $. land notices

made the discovery that O'Brien duped

SAVED BY A ROUT.

Political statisticians are at logger
heads over the respective amounts APP
propriated by the so-called Reed congress
and the nameless aggregation which
recently evacuated Washington.
The Democrats made very loud and
oft repeated howl over the "billion
dollar" appropriations 81 the Reed
congress and mourniully re-echocd it by
asserting that the country would be
bankrupted If the Republicans were not
turned down and out. The appropria-
tions turned out to be just adequate TO
pay the running expenses economically
administered
But the people wanted a change and
Democrats were put IN power in con-
ercss. AZ the session just closed, says
the Detroit journal, Notwithstanding
the general depression in business ard
marked reduction in government ex-
ponditures, these economical Democrats
extrayagantly appropriated for divers
purposes 81 ,Oo4 100000 or $4,000
600 more than was appropriated by
the billion dollar" congress which they
20 yehemently bcrnted.
This enormous sum would have been
greatly increased had it not been for the
newspapers which protested against the
impending raid on the treasury Chnir-
man nockcry says "the responsive emit
icisms Of the press awakened the indig-
nant protests Of the people. The
riotous assailants OF the treasury began
10 wayor and finally broke into rout
and surrendered their demands" and
by this rout the treasury was saved a
sum that would have made the total
appallnply excessive.

the open defiance OF law by her citizens.
Five negroes shot down in cold blood

have made no provisions for quelling the

INDIANS ARE NOT TREATED FAIRLY
Settlers Take Matters Into Their Hands
and Act Without Discretion.

Settlers Take Matters Into Their Hands
and Act Without Discretion.
Boise, July 22.-Ben r.. Rich, editor
of the Rexburg Silver Banner, is in the
city. When asked about the trouble
in Jacksons Hole between the settlers
and the Bannock Indians, he stated
that the Indians had not been treated
properly. An Indian who had returned
had explained that he had killed three
elk and was arrested, while the white
man arresting him had killed five. The
Indians, Mr.. Rich said, could have been
brought out without trouble if it had
been gone about right, but the settlers
took the matter into their own hands
without appealing to the agent. They
descended upon the Indians and ar
rested a number of them These were
tried before a justice of the peace and
fined heavily, the aggregate amounting
to some $1,000. The Indians could not
pay it and were herded by armed men
in manner calculated to arouse their
resentment.
One batch was escorted by a body of
armed men after having their guns ia
ken away. They were passing over a
trail where the Indians had been ac-
customed to ride in freedom. 1t was
tives made a break for liberty. The
guards at once opened fire at the fugi-
tives and killed several They reported
Mr.. Rich says, that they had killed only
one, but five riderless horses went over
the trail. AS a result the Indians are
very mad and may make trouble.
A squaw man living in Jackson's Hole
has come out into Teton Basin with his
family. The Indians had gone to him
and told him to take his family away
