BARRE, VT, NOVEMBER 30. 1900

That Limon Colorado outrage made
even the heather rage and the smell
of the burning body of Preston Porter
had scarcely been dissipated by the
breeze before the bloodthirSty red
skinned warrior is upon the trail and
all the troopers of Uncle Sam that
can he summoned together are hastily
called to protect the citizens Of that
lawleSS commonwealth from the same
barbarism that they have been accus-
toned to inflict upon others. 1t
would be no more than a just retribu-
ton to some of those whom the law
does not deign to reach should these
painted savages become the avengers
of humanity and teach them to feel
some Of the same sensations expert
enced by that poor wretch tied to an
iron rail at Limon and roasted alive
by his civilized prosecutors However
they need have no fear: their Christian
brethren will not stand by and see
them pay the penalty of their terrible
crime. Uncle Sans troopers will
always rush to their aid and they le-
ceive the protection of a powerful
government without giving in return
therefor the obedience to it's laws
which the principles of a Republican
government are founded upon.

A PLUCKY GIRL.

Emmons County Record: People
up from the Winona country have
many words of praise for the courage
and GOODNESS of Miss Bessie Spicer, a
young lady aboutt17 years old, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Spicer, during
the rush of a big prairie fire. Miss
Bessie's parents live on a ranch some
distance away from another of their
ranches. They had gone to the latter
place, and, while they were absent
Miss Bessie saw the fire was not far
away from the place where some of her
fathers cattle were grazing. She did
not hesitate as to what to do, but
mounted a horse and went after them.
Mr.. John Percys ranch being nearer
than her home, she drove the cattle
rapidly to that place Ga calf that was
too young to toddle along on its own
hook being carried by Bessie in front
of her on the horse), and put them in
the corral. At Mr.. Percy's, she and
Mr.. Percy and Miss Percy fought the
fire away from the corral, and they
were kept pretty busy a good part of
the night. When Mr.. and Mrs. Spicer,
seeing the fire. hurried to the home
ranch, from which they were several
miles distant, they were greatly
alarmed to find their daughter missing,
being fearful the fire had made her it's
victim. But, after a search, they
found her at Mr.. Percy's safe, and not
a hoof of the cattle missing or injured.

Close. Over fifty stolen horses have
been recovered, belonging mostly to
Mrs. Parkin, A. c. Wells and Don
Stevenson. The prisoners will be
tried at the forthcoming United States
court at Fargo.
Two years ago the Indians subscribed
over $500 to send representatives to
Washington and interview the COM
missioner. The commissioner refused
to talk with them, and the Indians will
invest the money in a bunch of cattle
for the benefit of the subscribers. Spe-
cial Agent Reynolds is making a tour
of the reservation, condemning govern
ment property.
The request of Representative Spald-
ing to have an expert from the agricul-
tural department sent here to examine
horses for CHAMBERS is viewed with sat
isfactiOn by the Indians. 1t is not
known that any glandered horses are
on the reservation, but if there are,
the Indians will willingly have them
destroyed if a competent expert pro-
nOunces them diseased.

treaty with the government. They
think they are still working under the
old treaty in force before the Custer
massacre, which read that rations
would be furnished by the government
so long as there was an Indian alive.
That treaty. however, was abrogated
when the tribe took the warpath,
which rebellion resulted in the death
of Custer and his band, and the new
treaty, made later, has w given
satisfaction. But the refractory Sioux
are to blame for passing up a good
thing when they had a cinch on it.
The disturbance at Standing Rock does
not interest the tribe here. On the
Fort Totten reservation the Indians
receive no rations from the govern
ment, except on special occasions to
relieve distress. All the Indians are
citizens of the United States and eXer-
else the franchise along with their
paleface brethren.

THE HOULE MURDER.

Advices from Pembina say: There are
said to be new developments in the MUIR
der at Bathgate, where Houle killed his
wife by beating her over the head with a
club. It is asserted the murder was COM
mitted to get the woman's property.
Houle left town on Sunday afternoon
sober, but on the road home it is reported
that his son-in-law filled him mp with
whiskey and Houle claims that the SON
in law told him to "be sure and kill the
old woman" It seems that the farm be-
longed to the woman, as she was a widow
at the time Houle married her, and she
owned the farm at this time. The daugh-
ters are children of the first husband.
It is claimed by the neighbors that they
had been trying to get her to sell the
farm for some time and the preliminary
examination will probably bring out
some facts in connection with the case
that are not yet known. Houle acknowl-
edges that he killed her and will not say
much about why he did it except to say
that the son-in.law told him to.
There are many rumors in connection
with the case, but facts are hard to OBJ
tain. Houle is in Jail at Pembina where
he was brought the night of the murder.
The woman has been a hard worker and
it is claimed earned the living.
The Bathgate Pink Paper says: On
Sunday, Mr.. and Mrs. Houle attended
church at Pembina, the former return
ing in a somewhat intoxicated condi-
tion. After returning to their home,
and about 5 p. M. the couple were
quarreling and HOule taking an axe
attempted to strike his wife with it.
The little girl i%nterfered and succeeded
in prevailing on him to put the axe
down. He then took a stick of stove
wood and hit her over the head and to
the left of center. knocking her down.
She struggled to her feet and walked
some distance when he again attacked
her with a larger club, crushing her
skull in several places. There were
present at the time Of the murder 10
seplline and Justine. Theafoe and
Bruno Houle. Josephine was cut on
the hand while attempting to get the
axe away from the murderer. One
of the girls went to the residence Of
John F. Miller for help, Mr.. Miller re-
spending at once. He met Houle and
asked him what he had been doing
this time? He said "He try to kill
me and me to kill he." He seemed at
the time to fully realize the enormity
Of his crime and wanted to be killed
and buried with his woman" When
Miller reached the body life was nearly
IL not quite extinct.

IN THE TOLLS.

BLACkHAWk IN THE TOLLS.
Those familiar with the facts in the
Spicer murder case will not regret that
Blackhawk, who is believed to have
been the leading spirit in encouraging
the murder, is in the tolls and will
hope that he will get a sentence that
will keep him out of mischief for some
years. He will probably be held to
answer to the United States court for
the theft of horses on the reservation,
having been recently rounded by A.
G.. Wells. There were several thieves
in the gang rounded up who lived
apart, but would meet together and
raid the horse ranches in pairs or
singly, just as they thought they could
the best accomplish their purposes.
They would take a horse branded "P",
change the brand to ID" or "R", a
brand known as open "A" they would
change to IN" or wv, run the horses
OF the reservation, generally south
away from the range where they had
been stolen, and trade or sell them.
The horses they would get in trade
they would bring back and sell and
get the cash for them. It has been
found that they have stolen horses
from Don Stevenson. Hugh Stevenson,
John Hager, Jack Arndts, Mrs. Parkin,
A. c. Wells, the Riverside ranch and
w. G. Badger. They have been D
ating since last July, and while horses
have been missed by all the above
named parties, it was found an exceed
ingly difficult thing to ascertain who
had been doing the stealing. Twelve
head have been returned to Mrs. Par
kin and II head to A. G. Wells, that
We're found in the possession of the
thieves.

FARGO MUD.

A st. Paul Dispatch man visited
Fargo Sunday and has this to say con-
corning North Dakota's rich soil:
There is a peculiar quality about the
muck to be found in the Red river val
ley. 1t is black, which is a good thing
for the wheat crop, and has a sticky
quality that would make it good office
paste. except for the color. Any man
who gets any of it OH his shoes never
tries to pry it off, unless he is new at
the business. The more approved way
way is to leave it alone and in course
OF two or three weeks it will wear off
and in the meantime it protects the
shoe from wear and tear. The Fargo
people have sometimes thought of
sending samples of it down to the navy
department and suggesting the use Of
it for m plate on our new battle
ships"

THORPE TO HANG.
Wife Murderer at Minot Sentenced to
Hang for the Cold Blooded
Crime.

In the district court at Minot Hans
Thorpe has been convicted and SEN
fenced to hang for the murder of his
wife. Thorpe had been married but
a short time. when in a fit of rage and
drunken jealousy he shot and killed
his wife. He then turned the revolver
on himself and succeeded only in
%wounding himself slightly in the eye.
When he was placed in Jail he sobered
up and attempted to plead temporary
insanity as an excuse for his crime but
the jury would not look f%avorably up
on his endeavor thus to excuse his
crime. \ verdict of guilty was rem
dered by the jury and the death penal
ty fixed for the crime.

SPALDINGS VIEWS.
Congressman Spalding Returns From
Washington and Talks of
Things.

Congressman Spalding is home from
Washington, and in an interview at
Fargo says:
There is not much of interest that
l am aware of tins week in congress,
and l improved the opportunity and
probably the last n shall have I'M
til after adjournment to look after a
few business matters and meet the peo-
pie.
Last week we passed in the house
the free home bill, which will eventu-
ally open a large amount of land in
this state to homestead entry. 1t
took considerable work to make it's
passage certain but when the time
came it went through very easily. A
few leading democrats opposed it
strongly but could not command their
party.
Last Saturday the sundry civil bill
passed the house after several days
discussion.
81 succeeded in getting a small ap-
preparation for the Bismarck military
post.
Eyes, it takes experience to. enable
one to get at these things to advantage.
AS a new man l did not know how to
go to work, but supposed l only had to
ask the committee on appropriations
for the item and snow the chairman
the present condition of the post to
secure recognition, but was sent to the
war department and from the secretary
to another department and then to a
third and then back to the committee.
Had | known what to do in the first
instance it would have been much
more easily accomplished.
1.-THE Puerto Rican matter made a
great stir for a time, but it is quiet
now and we hear no more about it.
AS a matter of political policy, the tar
if may have been ill-advised, but as
a measure to benefit the poor people of
that island it is much better for them
than free trade would have been, and
l think a little time will fully convince
the people of lnis.
Il look for final adjournment about
the middle Of June. If it is not reached
then we shall doubtless remain in ses-
sion till August"
