Great Falls. April s.-One of those
strange stories which now and then
crop out in the quickly changing scenes
of western life has just come to light
In Belt. Back in 1881, Alfred j. Ingles,
a boy of IA. living with his parents in
New Orleans, caught the sea fever and
ran away with a companion on a long
voyage. returning to his home only af-
ter a lapse of nine years. He found
his parents gone. He knew not where.
and after a long search gave up the
quest as vain. In 1891 he went to
Cripple Greek and was among the for
tunate in the race for wealth. A short
time ago, while stopping at the Palace
hotel there. he became acquainted with
a bell boy by the name of Anton In
giles. Accident led to the discovery
that the boy was his brother and also
that his mother had died at Belt and
that his father had very recently been
blown to pieces by a blast at Victor.
Col, not five miles from Cripple Creek.
The two brothers have just returned
from Belt, where they have visited the
grave of their mother. whose remains
will be taken to Victor and inferred
with those of her husband.
Congressman Hartman yesterday
wired the following to the Benton
Press: Washington, April The bill
to enable settlers on the Fort ASSN
their lands passed the house yester-
day. Please extend my congratulations
to all concerned. (Signed) Charles s.
Hartman" The settlers upon the
abandoned Fort Assinniboine reserve
located upon the lands under the i'm
preston that title could be secured un-
der the general laws and were encour-
aged in that belief by government ON
Gals. They invested heavily in Inn
provements upon their supposed pos
sessions, but when an attempt was
made to secure title to their lands, IL
was discovered that an appraisement
and sale were necessary. The bill just
passed by congress and now ready for
the presidents signature was a special
enactment placing these lands UNDER
the operation of the general land laws,
under which title can be secured in
the regular way.

John Y. Kirkendall, a bright little
6-yedr-Olu negro DOys Is III the CITY
Jail tonight for protecting with the
aid of a shotgun his little dog Keno"
Johnny and Keno were having a right
jolly time together on Sixth avenue
south, in front OF his home, when three
or four white boys, some of them older
than himself, came along and broke up
their fun. They started in to have a
lot of fun with the coon" and tried to
steal away his dog. Not quite sue
ceeding in that. they began to throw
stones at him, and not satisfied with
that, plugged some at the dog. At
first Johnny stood his ground valiantly
and responded i'm kind, but when they
began to hit the dog, that was too
much for his tropical nature. He rush
ed into the house and grabbed down his
fathers old muzzle loader, which had
not been fired off for years, and which
weighed almost as much as he did.
Nothing daurted. Johnny made a
charge on the crowd and fired his gun.
There was a big explosion, Johnny
turned several double somersaults, and
the boys could not be seen for dust
No one was hurt and Johnny is crying
his big black eyes out in the sweater"
his principal trouble being his fear that
he will be late to school tomorrow
morning
