An Onlcer Of Thirty Year, Frontier =
perience Gives His Views.

An 1,a1cer Of Thirty Year, Frontier Ex'
perience Gives His Views.
A. man who has been on the frontier
for thirty years and has put IN o Dig
mart of that time fighting Indians, is
Capt. p. II. Ray, of the regular army,
now in charge OF the Shoshone ana
Arapahoe agency in Wyoming. Capt.
Ray has practical views touching the
Indian problem, based on his long con-
tact with the red man. He believes that
the Indian can be made a self-support-
ing and useful citizen, and all that is
needed is to furnish him a sufficient IN
centive to work for n living, the same as
his pale-face brother.
"During the war just ended" said he
TO a writer for the Washington Post, y
had the Indians at work on a big irri-
eating canal, of which seven miles have
been completed. They made as good
laborers as l ever saw and worked
cheerfully for one dollar per day. In
addition to that they raised enough grain
for the reservation and to supply the
neighboring military post, having a
surplus besides to sell. They hauled

terminus to the agency, distance OF
one hundred and fifty miles. The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter OF q century hate to see them
beginning to get on self-supporting
basis, for then there will be no more
money to be made out of them. For
that ran con every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts of misrepresenta-
tions made by these parties, who dread
70 see their occupation gone. During
Ill my experience in the west | have
never known an administration that has
dealt with the Indians in as clean and
conscientious way as the present. The
secretary OF the interior has, without
any partisan bias, done in every in
stance his best to promote the interests
Of the tribes and the government, and,
from my own observation, think that
he has thus far been very successful

confidence in the future of Grange
vile, and TO illustrate the fact,
stated that he personally had in
vested over 5000 in town property
during the last thirty days.
Seven emigrant wagons, "a
horses, including pair Of the pref
test little Shetland ponies ever
seen here, full force Of adults and
more children than we had time to
count, pulled into town this MORN
ing, having come over the State
road from Weiser and Warm
Springs. They are from Salt Lake
and Kansas City, and are bound to
the mouth of the Lolo, on Clear
water.
NJ. E. Baltimore left today for
Rapid river with a pack train
which he purchased here for the
purpose Of shipping out several tons
Of ore from his copper and gold
claims in that section for shipment
to the Tacoma smelter. Mr.. Nc
Kinney, Of the firm of Mckinney
& Irwin, doing business here, is
interested in the property, and a
concentration is to be erected
shortly.
\ number Of squatters on school
lands in Oneida county have
brought serious troubles to them
selves. Long years age they set
tied upon these lands and improved
them. but failed to file upon them
or acquire any title to them. The
State is now advertising them for
sale. They cannot be sold for less
than SO per acre and some have
been appraised at SIS per acre.
There is no relief for the squatters
they must buy their homes.
Work Of construction on the St.
Anthony branch road was begun
at Idaho Falls Monday, and it will
be pushed to an early completion.
1t is the aim Of the company to
have its cars running over the road
by the first of November. Ranch
ers in Fremont may confidently ex-
pcct the road to be completed in
time to handle their crops for ship
ment. The railroad will carry
many people and many new busi-
ness enterprises into Fremont
county.
Among the arrivals in town to-
day are DR.. +. A. Lockhart, wife
and son. The doctor practiced
dentistry here some five years
since, married Miss Nellie Crooks,
and later removed to Oakley, Cas-
STA county, this State, where he
has since been practicing his pro-
fession very successfully. They
are here on a visit to DIR. and Mrs.
Bibby and will likely remain here
some time visiting old friends in
the Camas Prairie country. They
lost their eldest daughter about
two years ago, but have a three
year-old son still left.

LONDON, Nov. S.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram )-WliiiaIn
Dinkelspiel, living in chambers at No. -
Regent street. one of Richard Croker S
sporting cronies here, was severely scored
by Supreme Court Justice Grantham in a
betting case decided today, in which Dnkel-
spiel was the defendant. Dinkelspiel habit
ually bet with the firm Of Harwood Co.
through Mr.. Lewis, a member OF the Lon
don Stock exchange, and in August last
gave Lewis a check for $1,4s6 in payment
for bets Lewis had disbursed in his be-
half. The check was dishonored. Dinkel-
spiel set UP defense that the contract
was illegal urder the gambling act
Plaintiffs lawyer expressed surprise that
Dinkelspiel Thought it consistent with
honor to set up the gambling act as 4
defense"
Justice Grantham said: "If your story
be true / should think the defendant has
no honor
Dinkelspiel's lawyer suggested in pallla-
, tion that the plaintiff had failed to put on
certain bets for Dnkelspiel on which the
latter would have won. Therefore he was
justified in pleading the gaming act against
the plaintiffs claim.
Judge Grantham replied: ''As defendant
lawyer asked my opinion OF his plea. l
saw this is a thoroughly dishonorable de-
fense, but as the gaming act is pleaded, the
law obliges me to give judgment for the

The independent labor vote, as indicated
by the vote for John s. Crosby for supreme

Sufficient returns have now been re-
ceived to give a pretty definite idea of the
result in Nebraska. From early in the
evening of the day Of election it was ap-
parent that Silas A. Holcomb had been
elected Judge Of the supreme court over
Reese, republican, but not until yesterday
we're enough complete returns by counties
received to give anything like definite idea
of the size of the majority.
The Bee presents the completed count rep
resentins about three -fourths of the
vote Of the state and partial returns from
most Of the others. On the face of the
completed returns Holcomb has majority
OF 9,43S, while in the same counties
last year Poynter had a majority OF
only 339. This would seem to indicate
that Holcomb's plurality would be some
where in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
remainder of the state ticket varies but
little from the head.
In the Sixth congressional district the re-
turns are the most incomplete of any portion
of the state. owing to the extreme distance
of many of the polling places from telegraph
offices. What have been received, however
show that Kinkaid, republican, has run
ahead of the state ticket and there is a pos
sibiity that he may be elected, though the
small number of returns would hardly war
| rant either party In making definite claims
| One of the contests which has attracted
more than usual attention, and more than
| the importance of the office for which he was
| candidate would otherwise do, was that OF
| ex-senator Allen for the district judgeshT
| in the Ninth district. 1t was generally
| conceded that his political future largely de.
pended upon the strength he showed in this
| fight and had he ran behind the ticket
there would have been a small army Of
popocratic politicians ready to step in as
candidates for the fusion senatorial favorte
! The ex-senator has, so far as the returns
, from his district have been received, more
than held his own with the state ticket o.
his party and is unquestionably elected.
The returns from all over the state show
that practically full vote has been pollet
and that Reese has received about the same
vote as was given Hayward last year. Th'
! fusionists put forth the utmost endeavors t
| get out every one OF their voters and the in
creased vote over last year practically al
going to their candidates shows that the!
have been eminently successful in this en-
deavor. The gain in the fusion vote was 81
uniform and general throughout the stat
| that there was never any doubt about thu
result from the time the returns fairly com
! menced to come in and additions to then
only added more to the same story.
