Sheriff Reagan and three Of his
deputies returned late. yesterday af-
tornoon from Browns gulch where
they went about noon to look into
the trouble among Il band OF Flat
head Indians which occurred i'm
that section Tuesday night.
The officers found in a tepce there
an Indian named Lod Low, who had
been laid low with five or six bullets
from trusty,six-shooter in the hands
Of one Pierre Joseph, another OF the
tribe. Low was in bad shape and
was being cared for by two or three
squaws, the other Indians having de-
camped north over an old trail.
From what the officers could learn Of
the affair it seems that Joseph and
Low had quarreled over the affections
Of dusky maiden member Of the
band and were not on good terms.
Tuesday night, while Low was laid
out in his wickiup, Joseph raised one
side Of the clotl, covering and began
firing at Low. He emptied the wea-
pom and nearly all of the bullets took
effect in Lows legs and thighs. One
leg was broken. When the officers
found the Indian modification had
already started in the wound The
injured man was Brought to Butte to
be treated. Inter Mountain.

GER GOT THE DECISION
In the Ten-Round Go With Pc
terSOn.
WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE
The "Swede's" Baclsers Want to Match Him
For u Finish Fight With the
Birmingham Lad.

Oscar Gier got the decision in the ten
round go for points with 1.-THE Terrible
Swede" before the Athletic club last
night.
There were several other bouts, but
this was the feature of the exhibition.
The "Swede" has won many battles.
while Gier is comparatively young
fighter. His last battle was when he
was awarded the decision over Danny
Gallagher on foul in a Foreground go.
Gier has improved wonderfully since
his bout with Gallagher, and he is a
great favorite and native of Birming-
ham.
The "Swede'' weighed in at the ring
side at 1857 pounds and Gfer at no. The
former claimed that he was eight pounds
over weight.
The "Swede" came in TIE ring first.
He appeared in fair condition. though a
little fl shy. Ger looked hard and sound
and bore the same calm, determined ex
pression.
Joe Biddle acted as referee, and it was
after 10 when the gong sounded.
In the first round the "Swede" rushed
vicious right swings cleverly. Honors
were even and both men apparently
fresh.
The secord round resulted as the first
Gier vert down once for breath In the
fourth Gier did some more clever duck
ing and landed several blows. He was
the aggressor.
In the fifth the "Swede" rushed the
fighting and had a shade the best of it.
In the seventh Petersen landed several
blows and appeared to be geltting on
to Gier's clever ducks. Both men were
wnded and Gier went down as the gong
sounded, after having gone down for
breath twice before.
At the beginning of the ninth the
"Swede" went down. He quickly recov
cred and then Gier went down. Ger
again displayed his dedging powers and
landed several blows. although they
lacked steam.
There were a few exchanges in the
tenth, and just after the gong Referee
Biddle announced his decision in favor
of Gier.
The '.Swetde," who is otherwise known
as Peterson would probably best Gier
in finish fight His hackers believe he
can, and have offered TO match him ait
13S pounds. An answer through The
Age Herald VIII receive attention. They
are ready to post the money at once.
Gier is a clever boxer. He is quick and
has a way of ducking blows aimed at
his face which demoralzes the ordianry
fighter. He will have plenty of friends
for a fight against Peterson.

For many months after the siege OF
Boston at no time were the militia and
oontinentals strong enough to meet the
enemy in open battle, and the conduct
of the war perforce very much resembled
that now wsging between the insurgents
and Spaniards in Cuba As Washington
wrote to congress at the outset:
cit has been demonstrated that ON
our side the war should be defensive. 1t
has ever been called war of posts
that we should on all occasions avoid a
general action nor put anything to the
risk unless compelled by a necessity into
which we ought never to be drawn"

which followed, on the 18th of Septem-
Der, he contrived to extricate his troops
from most difficult situation with a
force of only ii, 900 against the British
$4,000. And again, while his opponents
thought him completely demoralized
from his defeat, he attacked them at
Germantown with such spirit that vic
tory seemed almost within his grasp.
All this display of uDdaunted spirit
and reCuperative quality had made an
impression, both at home and abroad,
especially in France, where our COM
missioners were trying to negotiate a
treaty of alliance with that nation. The
decisive victory won by General Gates
at Saratoga over General Burgoyne. in
the month of October, had the desired
effect of winning the court of France to
our side. These two brilliant achieve
ments, as contrasted with Washington's
small gains and frequent reverses, raised
cabal in the army and congress favor
able to superseding the commander in
chief by General Gates. An intrigue
was carried on, not unknown to the
former, but by him magnanimously
overlooked. In point of fact, Washing
ton had weakened his own command
and placed his army in jeopardy by the
sending of re-enforcements to the north
ern army, and it was only with the
greatest difficulty that he got portion
of them back again, after the surrender,
and they were no longer needed there.
In December, after the British had
gone into winter quarters at Philadel-
phia, neat little game in generalship
was played at a place called White
marsh between the American and Brit
ish generals, the latter maneuvering for
several days in vain to gain an advantage
over his opponent and finally giving up
in disgust and retreating TO Philadel-
phia without firing scarcely a shot.
Washington was at that time in a spot
of great natural strength, where he
knew he could with safety sustain an
attack and repel it, but could not hazard
an engagement in the open, whittier
Howe endeavored to draw him. After
this game of military chess he took his
army to Valley Forge for their winter
cantonment. The sufferings of this little
band were such that this period of de-
preston and restitution has always been
known as the ''time that tried mems

WASHINGTON FROM ST. MEMIN'S CRAYON.
ture that ''old fox, Washington, and on
the evening of the I'd of January, 1877,
the two armies were opposed, with odds
overwhelmingly in favor of the British.
Then it was the "old fox" showed his
superior strategy, and, leaving his camp
fires brightly burning and sentinels pac-
ing at their posts, he slipped off toward
Princeton and got in the rear Of Corn
wallis, where he bagged detachment,
as already mentioned, and then slipped
off again to the Jersey hills, for the
time safe from attack.
Again the British commanders had
been outgeneraled and a second time
compelled to revise their plans and as
sumo the defensive when they had
planned to carry on an offensive cam
paign. By his consummate strategy
Washington had flanked CORVALLIS and
got between his army and base of sup
plies at New Brunswick, but he had not
sufficient strength to attack that place
and obtain the stores his suffering SOL
diers so much needed. The first year of
the war had witnessed at Its close the
compulsory evacuation of Boston by the
British. Then followed long series of
discouraging reverses, relieved only by
the victories of Trenton and Princeton.
And SO the second year went out with
CLEAN of hope for the patriots, fighting
against every kind of disaster.
On Christmas morning, 1875, the
power of the British was felt throughout
New Jersey, and it was their boast that
corporal's guard might with safety
parade IN any part of the province. By
the middle of January following they
had withdrawn from all but two posts
and were very much afraid to stir far
from them. A strange condition of affairs
had been brought about. BY which Wash

whom they might name. But no one
ever doubted his bravery.
It was in November that Washington
abandoned the east bank of the Hudson
and began his mastery retreat across
New Jersey, reaching and throwing his
little army across the Delaware only in
time to escape total annihilation. This
has been declared to have been the most
gloomy period of the Revolutionary
war. But how quickly, once his ex-
hausted troops were recuperated, Wash
ington turned upon the British and
wrested victory from defeat. Witness
the crossing Of the Delaware that bitter
Christmas night of 1916 amid floating
ice and in storm of sleet and within two
hours after dawn the descent like a
thunderbolt upon the Hessians at Tren-
ton, taking 1000 prisoners, fieldpieces
and l, 200 stands of arms, and then back
again over the river through snow and
ice before the paralyzed British had re-
covered from their surprise. On the
American side a loss of but four, and
two of these (sad commentary on their
sufferings) were frozen to death.
Then followed the surprise at Prince
ton, when the enemy fled, leaving 100
dead and 800 prisoners in American
bands. 1t was within week of Tren-
ton, and, as there, he had fallen upon
the foe like the lightning from heav n,
leaving him stricken and demoralized.
