OPENING THE eLAcKFooT RESERVE.
Lands Subject TO Entry Only Under
the Mining Laws.


Washington, Sept 2S.-Information is
received at the office of the commissioner
of the general land Office that the
survey of the Blackfoot Indian reserva-
ton in Montana is completed. The reser-
walton is now ready to be thrown open TO
settlement as soon as the reports can be
prepared and approved by the interior
department There have been charges
that the department was delaying the
survey in order to give favored persons
an advantage TO secure the rich min
eral deposits, which it is believed will be
found upon the lands of the reservation.
Commissioner Hermann said today
that the work had proceeded with all
possible dispatch, and the approved plan
of the survey, which would be the final
act of the survey, would probably be
filed in the local land office within the
next 90 days The lands will be subject
to entry only under the mining laws
and Mr.. Hermann calls attention to the
fact that the original provision giving
those who have already located mining
claims the right to hold them for 80 days
has been repealed.

HELD UP NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN.
Bandits Made n FizzIe of an At
tempt to Rob the Express.

Moorehead, Mimi, Sept. 27.-The west
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific railway was held up 80 miles east
of here at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. 1t is said the express car carried a
large sum of money, which the robbers
failed to secure, owing to a blunder in
cutting off the cars. The robbery was
the coolest piece of work imaginable. En-
gineer Hoover, just after pulling out of
Elydon, noticed a man on the front plat
form of the mail car. A few moments
later the robber climbed over the tank
and at the point of a pistol told the en-
gineer to apply the brakes. The other
robbers came forward bringing in the
conductor and brakeman. All mounted
the engine, which was again started. The
robber sat on the tank and ordered the
engineer to keep himself moving. Not un-
til the train reached Moorehead was it
known that the engine and mail car had
been cut off from the balance of the train
The other robbers discovered that they
had not cut deep enough into the train
to secure the express safes and they
rapidly despoiled the crew of then
watches and money and made their es
cape.

since the concern started several weeks
ago. The woman had been employed by
him six years. He kept the money in a
trunk instead of in bank. Sunday af-
ternoon Dickinson and an assistant went
to a suburban resort, and on their re-
turn the woman could not be found. On
examination of the trunk it was dis
closed that the $4,000 was missing. The
police were notified. Dickinson says the
woman is not his wife, but only an EN-
ploye.
