ONE HONEST INDIAN
He Is Anxious 10 Liquidate a Deb'
BE Contracted 20 Years Ago.
A PAY DAY, AT THE AGENCY
Disbursement of Another Install
ment of Proceeds of the sale OF
Lands on the Old Bitter Root
rvation-incidents

Nfissoula. Jan. 14-There was an IN
teresting scene enacted at the Jocko
agency on the Flathead reservation
that was witnessed by a large NUMBER
of interested spectators, including
MANY from this city. The occasion
was the disbursement among the meih-
bers of Chief Charlott's band Of an
other installment of the proceeds OF
the sale of lands on the old Bitter Root
reservation, formerly occupied oy
Chariot and his tribe. The amount
Maid out to-day was $500, which
makes the total sum received oy the
Indians $4,000 The total appraise-
ment of the land on the old reservation
is S97, 900, as made by General CARING
TON 40 that the Indians still have a
large sum coming to them. me
amounts received by the Indians to-day
varied from 81 to s1,10o
One of the men who received the
money was the Indian, Thomas Co
eaiha, whose portion was $415.44. He de-
posted $500 with Major Carter, the IN
dian agent. and used the balance Tor
household supplies. He received ms
money last night and this morning ne
came back ITO settle some old debts that
ne had contracted in the Bitter Root
country. He said that 20 years ago he
owed a man in the valley about Cor
wallis 500. He did not know the mans
name, but says he had store there
He wanted the agent to find him and
pay him the $40. From Cosaha's de-
scr-iption of the man II Is supposed
that he is Jerry Fay, who did business
at Grantsdale and who is now in Glib
louisville Cosaha stated further that
he had for 10 years owned James Cow
an of Corvallis Sc and this sum he
sent to Missoula by one of the visitors
at the agency. This was done this
evening and Cosaha will probably
sleep easier tonight
Another amusing incident of the dis
bursement was one in which Johnnie
humphrey was actor. He stood by as
an Indian woman received s., 100 and
his copper skin turned brassy as he
saw the money counted. Said he;
That is more money than l ever saw
before. If had that in a poker game
/ would raise them $50 better" Th'
Indians naturally had a little celebra
ton. but II was a quiet one. Most o
the money has been spent by them fo
improvements on their ranches and IN
paying old debts.

RAVALLI COUnT.
Judge Woody Calls the Trial and orand
Jurors to Report Monday.


Stevensville. Jan. 1.-THE regular
January term of the district court of
Ravalu county convened here at 10
O'Clock to-day, Judge Woody presiding.
II bids fair to be an interesting term.
Among the attorneys from other points
in attendance are Messrs. Reeves,
Webster, Woods, Hershey and Prince
of Missoula, and Messrs. Moore ana
O'Hara of Hamilton. There is con-
siderable docket and a good deal OF
business will likely be transacted. 1t
is not probable, y 0ugh, that the cele-
brated Burnt Fork water cases will be
tried, as few of the parties TO them
are ready and the cases are likely 10
go over to the next term.
The day was principally spent In
calling the docket, setting cases Tor
trial and hearing motions and demur-
rers argued. There will be no jury
cases tried before next week. County
Attorney Myers filed in open court
five criminal charges, two against ii.
S. Macloon for ENLIGHTENMENT, one
against Frank Krane for burglary one
against Frederick Therriaulty for
grand larceny, and one against Edward
Lezotte for grand larceny. The de-
PENDANTS were all brought into court
and arraigned and took the usual
time in which to plead. The suit re-
garding the ownership of the Western
News, a newspaper of Hamilton, was
dismissed as compromised and settled,
leaving Miles Romney as sole owner.
Judge Woody called the grand and
trial juries both to report next Mon
day, to which time the court adjourned
after transacting the regular business
as stated above. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the grand jury will be
asked to investigate the charges that
have been made against county off,
ctals and the report of the jury will be
watched for with much interest. No
body here or elsewhere in the county
takes any stock in the wholesale
charges that have been made, and 1t is
confidently expected that the officials
who have been accused will establish
| their innocence beyond a doubt

THE SHOTGUN ARTISTS.
They Are Oiling Up for the Tournament
Next May.

Missoula, Jan. H.-The Missoula shot
gun cranks are already on the move in
anticipation of the state tournament,
which is booked for this place about
May 20 next. Secretary Will Cave of
the Missoula Rod and Gun club has
sent out notices for a meeting of men,
bers to be held in the county treasur-
ers office at the court house on Thurs
day evening. Jan. 16, for the purpose Of
organizing for the season of 1896 Inn
portant business in connection with
the state tournament will also be
brought up for consideration. In the
language of the official call: "A full at
tendance is not only desired. but neces-
sary. and you are earnestly requested
10 be on hand on the evening stated at
1880 O'Clock" 1t is the intention of
local enthusiasts TO improve the
grounds and make them the best in the
state. The fact that interest is being
awakened at such an early date is an
indication that the annual state shoot
will be the largest and most success
full yet held.

BIKE AGENTS.
They Are Beginning to show Their Sam
pies to the Ready Purchasers.

Missoula, Jan. 14.-Coming events
cast their shadows before and those
early harbingers of spring that arrive
ahead of the swallows, the slush and
the mud-the bicycle salesmen-are
making their appearance in larger
numbers than ever. Every week brings
it's full quota and the wheelmen come
in twos and threes and singly. They
have wheels of all descriptions and all
prices and they all find in Missoula a
fine field for operations, for the indica-
lions are that the wheel fever which
was epidemic here last season will
break out anew in the spring.
Contrary TO predictions made last
year. there seems to be no change in
the prices of bicycles this season. There
are perhaps more wheels of cheaper
grade on the market this year. but the
prices of standard wheels are the same
as a year ago. They will probably re-
main so. as long as the present demand
continues.

Missoula, Jan. 14.-W. b. Brooks, pub
lie administrator, to-day filed petit

subsequent will, Mr.. Brooks asks for
letters in the estate, which consists of
personal property estimated at valu-
alton of $1,000. The relatives of Diggs
are father and four brothers, living
in Missouri.

Cod-liver oil suggests

Its best use is before you
fear consumption when
you begin to get thin, weak,
run down then is the pru-

care, and the best way to
take care is to supply the
