NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Posses from Different Points Out Al
ter the Indians.

Newcastle, Wyo., Nov. 3-(Special
to The Gazette.) No new develop
ments are to be reported today in the
matter of the trouble the county au-
thorities are having with a hunting
band of Sioux from the Pine Ridge,
S. D., agency. Posses from this place,
Douglas, Lusk and Edgemont are now
out.
The latest news obtainable here
is that the Indians are headed for
their reservation. A rumor is current
of shooting heard near Edgemont dur
ing the night, which is taken as indi-
eating a further conflict. But this can
not be verified.
If the Indians are found by the
posses more trouble is feared, as the
entire country hereabouts is aroused
and the feeling against the Indians is
growing.
The funeral of the late Sheriff Mil
Ter will take place tomorrow.
An Indian agent, Brennan of Pine
Ridge, will be here tonight.

PRELATEIS
NEAR DEATH.
BISHOP BRoNpEL BATTLING FOR
HIS LIFE.
CHURCH GIVES LAST S0lACE
Extreme JUNCTION Administered and
Faithful Watchers Are Awaiting
the Final Call.

Helena, Nov. Bishop John B,
Brondel of the diocese of Helena, the
head of the Catholic church in Mon
tana, is battling for life at st. Johns
hospital, adjoining the. episcopal resi-
dence, and grave. fears are entertain
ed that he cannot live another day.
He was taken ill Saturday OF oedum
OF the lungs and brain, after an in
disposition from bronchitis.
He was not considered seriously ill
until Saturday evening, when he was
removed to the hospital. He was a
very sick man yesterday, the doctors
and nurses fearing he would not live
out the day. He was partly uncon-
scious and some of the time deliriors.
Extreme JUNCTION was administered
and the end of the prelate hourly
awaited. He lived during the night
and he was considered to be a trifie
better this morning. AT 2 p. m. today
his condition is not SO favorable and
it is feared he cannot live through
M--#@N4- #%4E
the night.
While Doctor Treacy and the other
physicians have not abandoned hope,
they admit his case is very desperate.
Sympathetic messages of inquiry are
being received constantly from all
| parts of the state, both from the clergy
and the members of the church.. who
have come to look upon the good bish-
op as a veritable father.
In case of the bishops death it is
expected that Reverend Father Vic
tor Day of Helena will be placed IN
temporary charge of the diocese until
a new bishop has been appointed.
Father Day, upon the occasion Of the
bishops temporary absence from the
diocese in the past three of four years,
has generally acted in his behalf.

Stepped Against a Hot Stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday night
bath, stepped back against a hot
stove which burned him severely. The
child was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in
the house, she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks
was we'll. Mrs. Benson is a Welt known
resident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm
is an antiseptic liniment and espec-
tally valuable for burns, cuts bruises
and sprains. For sale by all druggists.
