Disguised as squaws White Men Make
Big Haul.

Big Haul.
Missoula, Mont, Nov "a wealthy
Flathead Indian named Matchell has
been robbed of $4,000 in cash, the
money consisting of 800 bills and $40
gold pieces.
Matchell visited the town of Plains
and during his absence at night a man
dressed as a squaw visited his home
on Gamas Prairie and engaged in con.
versation with Matchell's squaw. Mrs.
Matchell noticed that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw, but a white man,
and her suspicious were aroused when
she saw two men run from an 0utbuild-
ing where the wealth had been stored,
carrying something with them.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were nearby, the man that had
been talking to the squaw Joined them,
and the three hurried away, leaving
no clew.
Matchell is the wealthiest full-blood
Indian on the reservation. He has
large herds of cattle and horses and
was always known to have money,
which he kept in an old trunk in an
outbuiiding.

DISPOSAL or PUBLIC
LANDS BY UNCLE SAM
Report of Commissioner GEN
eral Land Office.
INCREASE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR.

Public Lands Disposed of by the Gov
ernment During the Year Aggregated
19,4s8,535 Acres 100000 Acres
Were Sold for Cash.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The annual re
port of Binger Herman, commissioner
of the general land office, shows that
the public lands disposed of by the
government during the year aggregat'
ed 19.4S8,535 acres, an increase OF
1926 73S acres over the previous year.
Of the aggregate 1,757793 acres were
sold for cash; 17614,792 acres were
embraced in miscellaneous entries, ana
the remainder was Indian lands.
On Oct. / last there were "a forest
reserves, embracing 60,175,765 acres,
an increase of almost 14,00O,OOO acres
since the last report. During the
fiscal year there were 1868, forest hres
discovered which burned over S7,799
acres. The constantly decreasing area
burned over was 67,799 acres.
The commissioner said the proper
policing of the forest land during the
year has shown the following result:
Il. The work has proven self-sup'
porting.
"2. 1t has in addition brought in a
revenue to the government.
"3. Needed timber supplies have
been placed within lawful reach Of the
public.
"a. Timber depredations with the
reserve limits have practically ceased" "
Concerning re-forestation, the report
says:
Assuming that the re-forestation of
the denuded areas in the forest re-
serves where sufficient moisture pre-
walls to make the termination of seeds
of the native trees possible might be
expected to result in good time, If the
recurrence of the devastating fires
could be reduced to m inimum, and
the grazing of stock restrained within
proper limits and reduced to a safe
basis. The forest force has been re.
quired to make extra eXertion to pre-.
vent damage by fire and to keep the
office fully informed relative to the
effects of stock grazing and to keen
out stock not licensed to enter the
reserves, and all the evidences point
to almost unvarying success"

DEAR SIR:-SOme years ago | operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst maaria
influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

FOR new PARKS why DID she Die?
Police Mystifed Over the
Suicide Of Pretty
Minnie Pensil

Everybody on the Heights is anxious TO
know why Miss Minnie B. Pensii, the
stenographer and typewriter, killed her
self early Monday morning al tEe home OF
Mrs. John j. McPhillips, No. 2S6a Aead-
emy street, by inhaling illuminating gas.
The police are no longer Interested IN the
case and Mrs. McPhiliips told Captain
Cox Of the Montgomery street station that
she did not know the girl very we'll and
knew nothing of her business.
A reporter of THE News learned last
night that the letters Miss Pensil wrote
Sunday were directed to her relatives in
Massachusetts. The contents of these
letters are known only TO those who re-
ceived them These letters were taken
care of by a companion OF Miss Pensil,
who resided at the home OF Mrs James
Bowen, in the house adjoining the home
of Mrs. McPhillips, where Miss Pensil
boarded. The name Of this girl cannot be
learned. Neither Mrs. McPhillips nor
Mrs. Bowen will tell who the girl is. and
the neighbors do not know her name.
The police were very much put out
over the manner in which those interested
in the girl concealed the news of her
death. Captain Cox told DR.. Laws, who
was called in by Mrs. McPhillips to at
tend Miss Pensfl. that he should have
notified the police Captain Cox said that
there would have been serious trouble if
it had been proved that Miss Pensil had
met with foul play. Captain Cox said
that some people had a peculiar idea of
how cases of that sort should be handled.
