TERRIBLY SAD.

Logan, July 2S.-News of a mo 1t
deplorable tragedy that was enacted
in the mountains east of this city.
last evening reached here today. Me s
Jensen, youth of 16 or II, was shot
and killed by a companion named
John Calvin, who mistook him for a
bear. Both boys had been employed
as sheep herders. and were ranging
their fiocks in Logan canon.
On the evening that the accident
occurred. according to the story told
by the other herders, Jensen and Cal
vim pitched camp near the head of
what is known as Cowley canon, on
the right hand fork of Logan canon.
They had been annoyed for some time
previous by bears, which startled the
sheep at night. and hence were on the
lookout for bruins. About IL O'Clock
young Jensen arose, after hearing a
commotion among the sheep, Calvin
raised up in his bed, seized his rifle
and not knowing that Jensen had got
ten up, mistook him for a bear, and
without any warning whatever. fired
at him. The boy pitched forward
and lay still for moment. and then
raised himself and exclaimed:
John, old fellow. you have killed
me-" and staggered over toward the
bed. Calvin was simply terror strick-
en-, but got his companion into bed,
and attempted to stop the flow of
blood that came from large hole in
the lads breast ctr
After he had succeeded in doing so
he tore madly across the hills in the
darkness and sumomned help. Jensen
lived about half an hour after Calvin
returned. Messengers were sent to
the city with the news, while other
men stayed with Jensen. and Calvin.
The latter is almost demented.

ct and his office force are making the long
will disburse se2- 900 in all. bout $50, 900
of which has already been paid out.
For the past two days the agency has
been the scene Of great business activity.
The agency office from s a. m. until 5
p m. Is crowded mass Of Indians eagerly
awaiting their turns to be permitted to
enter the pay office to touch the pen and
receive thei- checks. The pita Is
s1a43 all the bands belonging on the
White Earth reservation and the Mile
Lacs Indians participating. This makes
the Indians wealthy for the time being
but money Is being spent very freely. The
traders are doing a big business. In
tl1ans may be seen at almost all hours OF
the day driving or walking out of the vii
lage laden with dry goods, groceries. etc.
Next to the traders, the blindpigs are
perhaps getting the largest share OF the
business. Last night pure alcohol was
selling at SIS a pint. mixed at $3.50 pint,
and by the drink from Is cents to 81 was
freely paid.
Agent Michelet is doing all in his power
to suppress this traffic. He has caused
several arrests and has the agency guard
house almost full Of prisoners. The depu-
ty United States marshal Is making al
most daily trips to the agency for either
prisoners or witnesses. The matter Is
now fairly under control and the great
majority of the Indians are orderly and
well disposed.
No serious trouble is expected, as Agent
Michelet Is confident he will be able to
control affairs and punish all offenders.

inviolably to herself. and last evening they
were seeking legal advice to discover
whether or not they are legally married.
The whole trouble arose through a
JOSH There were twenty or thirty mem
bers and committee clerks in OF the
committee rooms and some were twitting
BroWnlee on being a confirmed old bach
elor. Brownlee denied the allegation and
said that If he could get any one to marry
him he would marry Immediately. Miss
Kolb said she was willing to help him out
and a ring was accordingly borrowed from
Representative Allen of Deerlodge, and
Everett OF. Choteau performed what was
supposed at the time to be mock cere-
mOny.
After the performance was over, how
ever, Everett solemnly declared he was
Justice of the peace and that the cermeny
was binding. Miss kolb fled in confusion,
but Brownlee could not escape and had to
submit to receiving the congratulations of
his fellow members.
When the house reconvered resolutions
OF congratulation were passed and Brown
lee was called upon to respond. He
was equal to the occasion and declared
that If any way could be found to make
the contract legal he would not object
The young lady remained invisible ana
there wastnO opportunity Of finding out
how she looked upon the matter.
AS there was no marriage license pro-
