A STRAIGHT STORY.
Ernest Stricken Denies That He Killed
John Bruguier.

John Bruguier.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 11.-Ernest Stricken. the
Indian brought here yesterday and locked
up In the county jail pending the action
of the next grand jury on the charge of
numbering John Bruguier on the Fort
Peck Indian reservation last Saturday
night. conversed with the Standard re-
porter about the case to-day, making the
claim that an Indian by the name of John
Hanson committed the crime.
Stricken rs a full-blood Sioux who was
educated at the Yankton Indian school,
and talks and writes English very readily.
He processes complete ignorance of any
thing that happened from the time he
left the house of an Indian by the name
of Lambert i'm company with the deceased
Saturday afternoon en- route to Poplar.
until he awoke on the prairie the next
morning. He admits that he, the dead
man and Hanson drank very freely at
Lambert's of whiskey Bruguier had pur-
chased at Culbertson. Just before he and
Bruguier set out for the agency he SAYS
that Hanson asked him several times II
they would be liable TO meet any one on
the road. He does not recollect that Han
son followed them, but for all that he be-
lieves he did and that he committed the
crime
81 don't remember anything after we
left Lamberts, said Stricken, and he
persisted in that and similar answers
when pressed for an explanation of the
affair. He says that he and the deceased
were the best of friends and no reason ex-
listed for such fatal quarrel as must
have been fought Sut on the prairie that
night. He has engaged a local firm of at
torneys and proposes to fight the charge
to the end. He is a fine specimen physi-
cally of the Indian race. tall and well
built. He tells n pretty straightforward
story that may help him when his case
comes UP for. trial.

THE SPANISH VERSION.
TIE Fighting mt Guantanamo Was Mere
Skirmishing.

Madrid. June II, 10 a. m.-Advices re-
ceived here from Havana from official
sources characterize the fighting at
Guantanamo bay as mere skirmishes'
with the met result that the Ameri-
cans have been able to hold the place
where they landed" Continuing. the
Havana dispatch says: They have
suffered greatly. both from the fusil-
lade and the heat. The Spaniards are
in possession of several wells. none of
which has been injured. The stories
that the fortifications at Caimanera
and Morro have been damaged. Is
false"
The following Official note has been
issued here: THE charges of Spanish
curelty to the wounded and mutilation
Of the dead are false. These accusa-
tions have caused the liveliest indigna-
tion among all classes in Spain. espe-
cially among the troops. who are indig-
nant at the calumnies. The Spanish
army is conducting itself in this war
with the nobility II has always shown,
as proved by the evidence of the Amer
lean prisoners who were released, and
its discipline is so strict that any such
conduct would have been relentlessly
punished" I"

Her Idea of It.

Journalism For Women" a book recently published in England, relates a story of a woman journalist in the north of England who wrote to Lon don paper for permission to act as its special correspondent during the visit of some royal personages to her town The editor of the paper, knowing her for a good descriptive writer, gave the neces- sary authority, with explicit informa- tion as to the last moment for receiving copy. The moment came, but not the copy, and the editor had to go to press without it. The next day, no explana- tion having arrived, he dispatched to his special correspondent a particularly scathing and scornful letter. Then came the excuse. It was long, but the root of it amounted to exactly this:
