FRED SMITH KILLED.
Was Run Over at Sheridan by a Heavily
Loaded Team.

Loaded Team.
A telephone message was received in
this city last night from Sheridan an
nouncing that Fred Smith had just been
killed by being run over by a heavily
loaded wagon. Charles Walters, who
telephoned, said that the dead man had
requested that he be notified. The city
jailer received the phone. The wife
and two children of the unfortunate
man are at Sheridan. No further de-
tails connected with the sad affair were
obtainable at midnight. 1t is said that
a man named j. M. Smith is employed
at Schatzlein's store, but he could not
be found last night, so it is not known
whether or not he is the brother of the
dead man. Fred Smith was a brother

years, who are now being cared for at
the Providence of the Sacred Heart at

dissipat ton, has failed to provide the
plaintiff with the common necessaries

the children at the home in Missoula.
She also asks to be awarded the Gus
tody of the children.

cree of divorce to the plaintiff in the
case of Louie Orestad against Ole E.

A Statesman reader asks us the cor
rect pronunciation of the name of the
Filipino rebel leader, Aguinaldo. We
have not the assurance in such lati-
tudes of one of the Oregonlan's S
editors, who attempted a few days
ago to give in English, and in cold
print, the correct pronunciation of a
French title of a book-and $50 a
Frenchman al our elbow says), made
very poor ''stab" at it. There are
no hard and fast rules for the pro-
nunciation of words and names of
foreign languages. We could not
get the proper accent, twists, twirls
and gestures of the tongue, the gut
terals and the nasals and the bur-r-r-
rs, however much we tried. The
only way to find out how to pro-
nounce Aguinaldo's name is to go
and ask him--and he is himself very
poor authority and then he might be
hanged before the journey could be
made. Better still, pronounce 1t to
suit your own taste, and let every
body else have the same privilege :

DEWEY AS AN EXPANSIONS T

The papers which have been class
ing Admiral Dewey as an antl-ex-
pansionist are mistaken in their per
son. In letter received by Lon
don editor the great chieftain re-
marks: After many years of wan
dering have come to the conclusion
that the mightiest factor in the civilI-
zation of the world is the imperial
policy of England The Boston
Journal few days ago printed an
extract from a letter 10y Dewey to
the president of Norwich university
in which the admiral among other
things, said: 81 trust that the entire
archipelago will be retained by the
United States. Any other arrange
ment will lead to no end of trouble" :"
These expressions show Dewey's
position on the expansion questions.
In the one first quoted he mentions
the advantages to the world which
the extension of the rule of a great
enlightened nation brings. In the
second one he shows his belief that
the acquisition of the Philippines by
the United States will benefit this
country, the islands Immediately con-
cerned and the world. On the Philip
pine question the admiral speaks as an
expert. He knows the islanders bet
ter than any other man who has been
talking about them recently. He has
studied them On the ground and un-
der conditions which have given him
clear insight into their character
and capabilities. The general condi-
tions on the islands are known to him
better than to any other American.
Undoubtedly Dewey's view Is the
view which is held by the majority
OF the people of the country. Like
the ad miral, they ''trust that the en-
tire archipelago will be retained by
the United States.' They are con-
Vlnced, like him, that "any other ar
rangement will lead to no end of
trouble" The country has confidence
in Dewey's judgment. The ultimate
fate of the Philippines can not be de-
termined at present. Nobody can
tell what will be the course of wisdom
in relation to the islands fifty years,
or twenty years hence. Many things
which 1t is impossible to foresee can
happen before the shortest of these
periods expires.
But all the islands will be held by
this country, and governed by the
United States, for the present, and,
no doubt, for all time. The form of
government will be determined by
the exIgencies of events.

annexation could Cuba remain free
and be prosperous. When Gomez
takes careful look over the ground
he is likely TO reach similar con
clusion. A few days in the United
States will probably remove the
prejudices against Americans which
his isolation and consequent ignor-
ance fostered. Gomez may yet have
an important civil post in Cuba un-
der American authority.

trymen convinced him that only by

he HAD A HARD FIGHT
Under Sheriff Violette Put on
Indian to Sleep.
A SKIN FULL OF WHISKEY
Tom Charlie Has Promised to Tell the
Officers Where the Indians Get
Their Liquor-The Despicable
Trade Should Be Stopped

Missoula, April 23-Under Sheriff
Violette had hard fight with an In
dian late last night. In company with
Chief of Police Angevine Mr. Violette
had been across the river to get the
red man and his squaw, who had been
drunk and disorderly on the South Side
They were bringing the pair to the
county Jail without any resistance and
had reached the corner of the court
house square when the under sheriff
told the chief that he would take them
into the Jail and the city officer might
return to town, The chief left Violette
with the Indian and the squaw, and
then the trouble began. The Indian
resisted and refused to so to the Jail
The officer grappled with him and the
squaw pulled a knife and started q
flank attack on the sheriff Things were
getting lively, and the officer drew his
gun. The squaw then dropped the knife
and ran to a heap of rocks and started
long range campaign. This encour-
aged the Indian. and he fought like a
tiger. Then the sheriff hit him a love
pat over the eye with his gun and the
red man went to sleep. The squaw then
came quietly into camp and the two
were lodged in Jail without further
trouble. The Indian, Tom Charlie. has
been in Jail several times. The squaw
has served one sentence with him. He
is the Indian whose horse was shot
from under him in the fight that the
officers had with a band of the reds
between here and DeSmet year ago.
The recent prevalence of drunk anness
among the Indians that loaf around
town has led to an investigation Of their
souce of supply of liquor. Thus far,
the despicable fellows who sell whiskey
to the Indians have not been located
They do their work cleverly. but the
Indian, Tom Charlie. has promised to
show where he got his booze. and there
may be some good come from the fight
after all. There is great danger in this
selling liquor to the reds. When they
get their skins full of whiskey they are
dangerous, and are liable at any time to
do harm to women or children.
Tom Charlie and his squaw yesterday
afternoon had terrorized several wo-
men across the river. They went to one
house and demanded something to eat
When the woman of the house said
that she had nothing for them, the In
dian rushed toward her with an oath
and said that he would make her give
him something. She locked the door
and telephoned to the city for assist
ance. Missoula has so many residences
tied portion of town that it is possible
for these ugly Indians to do much harm
before assistance can be summoned. By
all means the men who furnish liquor
to the Indians should be discovered and
punished.

Earnest and Enthusiastic.

Missoula, April 23.-The Crittenton
meetings to-day We're the largest relig-
ious meetings ever held in Missoula
The afternoon service at Union theater
was an earnest and enthusiastic gath
ering, and was attended by an audience
that taxed the capacity of the large
opera house. The service was an in
teresting and impressive one. Mrs Mof-
fatt sang some new songs and the re-
marks of Mr.. Crittenton and the cler-
gYmen who took part were eloquent
and convincing. The service al the Ben
nett opera house in the evening was
repetition of the afternoon meeting in
point of numbers and interest. The
house was not large enough for the au-
dience that wanted to attend. Many
were turned away.
