express plainly to the average an
nor intelligably even to a great
many so called smart men. But
the rounder. whose grant compre-
hension has grappled and absorbed
all the great questions pretaining
to the red races, wishes to say that
what the Indians want is for the
government to build them a nati-
torium and gymnasium. The
Indians are loosing their appetites
and as they say their ancient
ancestors. the Irish, resorted to
the bath and the exhilerating BEN
etits OF the gymnasium, therefore
they claim that this is the only way
to save them from rapid ano sure
extin tion."
Moreover, the rounder pledges
himself that when the ceded strip
is opened he will call forth all the
available troops to protect the syn
dicate and rich men who have been
enjoying the privilege of invests
eating and locating choice mineral
claims on the reservation. The
rounder would instruct said troops
to prevent any person or persons
| who might have but single pack
outfit and only grub enough to
last for several months, his sole
possessions on earth, from enterin g
the reserve at any time prior 10 a
written statement from the syndi-
Gates and rich men that the latter
had acquired all they wanted
The rounder thinks that God will
help him to take care Of th'
rich and the poor have always beer
able to take care of themselves.

The ROunder.

When the frey god of day had
made golden set and all nature
was hushed in the stiffness of early
evening a newspaper came to town
announcing the resignation OF
Indian Agent Mclaughlin. The
rounder, seeing chance to improve
the condition of the Piegan race,
Immediately made application for
the vacated position. In his ap-
plication the rounder set forth the
following: THAT it is, has been,
and always will be the duty o:eTery
American citizen to to see that no
fat office seeks the man. That,
inasmuch as there has been no
complaint made by the Indians as
to the quality and quantity of
rations issued, ncr any intellectual
disadvantage by personal contact
with the former agent excepting
that he is an ex>newspaperman.) }
In view of all this, oh, you mighty
Mckinley, you must agree with the
rounder that there is something
radically wrong. The roun6e',
possessing the key to the solution
of the great question, wishes,
therefore, to call attention to the
Importance of his appointment. 1t
is apparent that the Indians have
for long time felt a want for
something which they could not

There m ust be something wrong
with the Great Falls correspondent
of the Anrconda Standard when be
uses the public press to vent per-
sonal spite. He must forget the
object of a great newspaper like
the Standard, and should be shown
in practical manner.
At Spokane last Saturday morn
ing in front of the Occur d'Alene
theater HI. S. Barnett, who form
erly ran variety show in Great
Falls, put three bullets into Johnny
Bull, an old time gambler, and was
twice shot himself. Mrs Barnett,
whose stage name is Ida Clayton,
and who was formerly a resident
of Great Falls also, was shot
through the shoulder. Two hours
previously Barnett in a quarrel
struck Bull with a cane and the
latter laid for the theater man and
fired at him, but Ida threw her
self forward and caught the bullet.
Her wound is not serious. Barn
EFT then pulled his gun and fired
six shots. One struck Bull in the
chin and passing through,
narrowly missed the wind pipe and
lodged near a vital spot, another
struck and lodged in the right fore
arm and third entered near the
right grion and lodged there. One
may be fatal. Barnett had his
finger shot off and his face was
was powder burned.
We are pleased to learn from
personal friend of Major McLaugh
Inns that there is no truth in tn
assertion that has been going th
rounds of the northern Montan
press that the agent has resigned
or is intending to resign: his office
The Great Falls correspondent c
the Anaconda Standard was th
first to spring the gag, in colum
and half article, and the othe
papers with one or two exception
t took up the report and heralded
e abroad without considering th
u veracity of it or its source. Th
