Topeka Postof6ce Shows Balance of
Money Orders in Topeka's Favor.

In the past two days Postmaster John
Guthrie has drawn upon New York for
81 200 with which to pay money orders.
more money is sent into Topeka than
is sent out through the postOfhce de-
partment- The receipts on money or
ders drawn at the Topeka pOstoffce on
eastern offices are just about half as
much as those which are drawn on the
Topeka office, showing that Topeka
people receive two dollars through the
Office for every dollar they send out
Some days the difference is greater
than this. Tuesday the orders paid out
amounted to $411, while those drawn
were only S95.

TURNED HIS HAIR GRAY
A Chapter From the Life of Bill
Billiard.
DURING THE BLOOD WAR
Arms-A Radskln Who Gave Bill
an Unpleasant Quarter
OF an Hour.

Great Falls, Nov. 23.--Every old timer
in Northern Montana knows Bill Bull
lard or if they don't know him that is
their misfortune. not Bills. In early
days Bill herded string of work oxen
attached to the fore part of freight
wagon, but he quit that some time ago:
the country became too civilized and
freight rates too low, The old man was
in reminiscent mood yesterday when
he paid the Standard Office visit and
told few tales of a by-gone time.
did I ever tell you how my hair come
to get gray?" he inquired. "Well, it
was "a years ago the 18th of last
August, in 1865; you bet don't forget
the date, nor will I ever forget the scare
got on that day. 1t isn't much of
story; l have seen the most of the hap
penings about this country In the six
ties and many of them were a little out
of the usual order, but personally
never was scared so bad in my life.
and every time I think of it all other
events fade into nothing. I had charge
of bull train for my father and had
pulled in at the mouth of the Marias,
on the Missouri river, for freight. At
that season of the year the water was
GOO low to allOW the steamboats, to come
up the river any further, SO the steamer
Twilight was being unloaded and we
were to take the freight overland to
Benton. 1t was the time of the Blood
war and our scalps were not any too
safe. and we had to sleep most of the
time with both eyes open.
During the night we lost a bunch
of the work cattle and I went UP the
Marias to the mouth of Alkali creek,
where Morton's ranch now is, to look
for them. The day was !,eiIirg hot
and, what with loss of sleep and the
heat, felt that must have a nap, so

rope In my hand and went to sleep
under the shade OF cottonwood ! had
the first breech-loading gun In the then
territory of Montana; it was a 50-cali-
Der Spencer and held six cartridges in
the breech. SO I was we'll fixed. Be-
sides the gun I had two six-shooters,
which left with the gun on my saddle.
or course, l was younger then than I
am now, or I would have had more
sense than to take the chances / did.
When woke up after an hours sleep
l walked over to my horse and led him
down to the Marias to drink. As came
up the bank I looked toward where my
saddle was laying and was Mortified to
see an Indian sitting on my saddle OK
aiming my gun and trying to work it.
1t was new thing on him evidently,
and the combination was a hard thing
for him to work out: he had not looked
my way as yet and l dropped out Of
sight like a shot and began to take in
my position, There I was 10 miles from
camp, on the open prairie in as bad IN

over the little bank which hid me, saw
the Indian still examining the gun, with
his back partly toward me. Picking up
a jagged stone which lay near me, +
started to crawl toward the Indian

body. During that creep of 200 yards

crosscut has been made from the lat
ter into the property Of the defendant
through which the plaintiff alleges the
water Is drained, and has caved the
mines and endangered the lives OF the
plaintiffs employees. Mr.. Heinze de-
mics that the crosscut was made or the
water drained into Minnie Healy unlaw,
fully and maliciously. but says 1t was
done through an arrangement between
himself and the other defendants. He
says the pipe line was laid and the wa
ter run through 1T, so that he might
operate a turbine wheel with the wa
ter for ventilating purposes and to ere

workings of the Tramway mine. where
he is working about so men. He said
the air is necessary to keep them at
work. He denies that any such guam
tity of water as alleged by the plaintiff
runs into the Minnie Healy. and de-
MES that 1t has endangered the lives OF
the plaintiffs miners, or that 1t has
caused any ground in the mines to cave.
Answers of similar import were filed by
the Chilli Mining company, Montana Ore
purchasing company and A. p. Heinze.
