much lower cost than has ever before
been possible.
The defensive works would consist
entirely of steel and iron. These ma

machinery and of labor called into
existence by a great vicissitude in the

Libby Silver Standard: The sickly
poet who can see romance in a frog
pond would doubtless turn away and
weep could he but gaze for a moment
upon the once noble but now degen-
crate band of warriors who lowered
about Libby the past fortnight. All
through the long day hours these sons
of the forest might be seen sitting
in circle on the sidewalks, emitting
an aroma of smoke and bad whiskey
that would knock the bark OFF of a
Christmas tree, working the peace pipe
for all Ii was worth, and telling yarns
of ancient prowess or of things that
might have been. Ne-paw-qua (Son
of the Northland), an old patriarch
whose wrinkled visage bespoke for him
many moons of existence and a long
life of crime. seemed the center of
gravity and attracted. no little atten-
ton from the passerby. A short in
terview with this gaudily plumaged
ward showed him to be the medicine
man for his limited followers; and to
prove his identity and the harmless
character of his mission he repeatedly
offered for inspection a note from the
agent OF the Kootenais which read:
Kootenai Agency, Nov. 2. 1895.
The bearer of this note (Ne-paw-
qua) is off his reservation for a short
hunt and what he can steal on the
way. He is an all-around horsethief
and a regular son-of-a-gun. Look out
for him. Samuel Baker.

councils of his people by always TAX

as he sat lazily basking in the sun
shine, spearing with one hand decayed
cigar stumps and with the other
wrapped in the folds of a faded calico
shirt disputing territory with the arm
ed host that roamed at will over his
body, presented in fact an ideal of the
wane of his race and a strong contrast
to the fierce warrior of old who scourg-
ed the plain bedecked in paint and

But the Chessacat grins that adorn
the faces of these wandering Migrants

for at the going down of the sun they
disappear with full stomachs into the
wild and secluded mountain fastness

cine until the small hours, when like
their double, the coyote, a brief rest
fits them for repeating the perform
ance.
Whether the Indian follows the coy
ote or the coyote follows the Indian is
a question, but within As hours after
Ne-paw-qua and his devoted followers

the rocky canyon. an immense pack OF
coyotes took position on the opposite
side to contend the right of establish

HIDES A ROMANCE
Staying Of Old John Siers Said to Be
Partly for Jealousy.
POINT OF PROSECUTION
Hattie PixIey. Aged IL, Says She
Was Engaged to Siers-
Also Mrs. God
dard.

Lewiston, Idaho, Special to Spokane
Spokesman-Revi Miss Hattie Pix
ley, a maiden of perhaps II years, was
on the witness stand to-day in the God
dard murder trial. Her testimony de-
veloped a romance of unusual interest
to the people who knew the parties con-
cerned. She stated that she was en-
gagged to marry the murdered man,
who was 70 years old. 1t is also set up
by the prosecution that Mrs. Goddard
she afterward killed. 1t had been ru-
mored that an engagement had exist
ed between the old gentleman and the
young lady, and that this fact was the
motive for the murder. The evidence
appears to be the first positive knowl-
edge of the engagement that has been
given out.
Thus far the prosecution has been
slow in getting in the testimony and
developing its case. They commenced
by introducing Doctors Morris and KEEL
ly. who made the autopsy of the body
of John Siers. and Frank Ward. The
main witness and backbone of the pros
ecution was t. A. Shorthill. the cow
boy who accompanied Siers on his ex-
petition to the Schissler ranch from
the Monroe place on the morning of the
homicide. The cross-examination OF the
other witnesses has developed about
the following state of facts:
That on the 18th of April Mrs. God
dard was put in possession of the
Schissler ranch by Fred Piper, a receiv-
er appointed by the court, under a
lease authorized by the order of the
court; that Siers turned his band of
horses in upon the ranch and his cow
boys did everything they could to an
noy Mrs. Goddard; that she had the
horses turned out of the premises
which she had leased, which angered
the cowboys and old man Siers; that on
Sunday morning, the 18th of May, Siers
and mis- herdsmen went up to the ranch
to see Frank Ward, a son-in-law of
Mrs. Goddard, and ito whom she claims
to have appealed for protection, and to
put the horses back upon the premises.
Siers went In the gate opposite the
house and, not seeing Ward there,
went down to the barn lot Mrs. God
dard, seeing them, went down to the
barn lot to meet them, and Ward went
along to the lot with her, presumably
as protection; that when Siers met
Ward they commenced shooting, when
Mrs. Goddard got her pistol and shot
Siers; and that Shorthill. who went
along with Siers to assist him, took the
Winchester and fired at Mrs. Goddard
and broke her arm. The cross-exami-
nation has put different phase upon
the whole case and the statements at
first circulated have been partly over
thrown and the truth brought out by
the pressing cross-examination.

Bridgeport. Conn. Jan. IA battle
between soldiers and police occurred
in Saddlers' hall last night. About 10
men were seriously injured. The SOL
diers were defeated and 20 were locked
up. A raiding party went to Saddlers'
hall. where the Koscusiko guards, n
military organization. were holding a
dance, to execute a warrant for the
seizure of beer. The soldiers drew
their sabres and drove the officers from
the hall. A reinforcement OF 10 police
men was called and attempted TO en-
ter the hall. but the guards beat them
back with their sabres. The police
were cut and slashed and several seri-
ously injured. The captain of the
guards is hardly recognizable from
bumps and cuts on the face. All the
prisoners bear marks OF the fight.
They were spattered with blood and
their uniforms are In shreds. The sol
diers jumped on the police. scratched
their faces and tore their hair out by
handfuls. After the fight Ave other
halls were visited and nearly 200 kegs
of beer seized.

His employers and others speak in the
