Sheriff Hagen, with Under Sheriff
Hagerty and Deputy Sheriff Clark, re-
turned from a trip north, Sunday even
ing, having failed to find their man al
though they kept a close guard over all
trails crossing" the G. N. in the noun
tains, and carefully searched all trains.
Rev. A. w. Hammer moved his furni-
ture to the new parsonage yesterday, all
but the cook stove, which perversely
jumped out of the wagon and committed
hari kari. The Ladies' Aid may be de-
pended on to come to his aid, and a
brand new steel range will doubtless
take the place of the suicide.
To the surprise of our townsmen the
usual order has been amended, and the
big load of wool that has stood in front
of the Jail since Sunday, made a move
toward Pondera yesterday. Under or
binary circumstances it was reasonable
to expect that it would stand there until
the moon got full again.
William J.. Baker of Fort Benton
passed through town last Friday, on his
way north in search of pastures new.
He reports everything ruined by the dry
weather from the narrow guage railroad,
east, and to add to the gloomy outlook,
a great deal of the country has been
burned over. Hay is worth S18 per ton
at Fort Benton and is a scarce article at
that price.
While returning from the north last
Sunday, Sheriff Hagen saw an object
lying near the road about a mile north
of Robare, and upon investigation found
it to the ,oody of Eddie Jack an Indian
belonging on the Blackfeet reservation
From the appearance of the body il
would seem that he had fallen off his
horse and been dragged about a rod
/, One side of his face was fractured anC
had apparently been kicked by the horse
he had peer riding. He had been of
the reservation during the day and it il
supposed that he had become ~intoxicat
. ed and rendered incapable of taking carr
of himself. Eddie was a full bloodet
Indian but had received some education
and enlisted in the United States
. army a few years ago, receiving his dis
charge when the war department decidet
to disband the Indian companies.
