Indian Will Test Provision Of Game

will be watched with considerable in
terest by the sportsmen throughout
the state, as it will be test OF one
section of the game law passed by
the legislature last winter, that for
bidding Indians to carry arms when
off their respective reservations.
The law was enacted at the special
instance of the game warden, who
contended, as do most hunters, that
game was killed without regard to
season by Indians permitted to leave
their reservations carrying their guns.
Several weeks ago Flathead, named
Big Knife, was arrested at Missoula
by a deputy game warden while pass
ing through there on his annual hunt
in the upper Bitter Root valley. The
Indian was fully equipped for pro.
tracted stay, having his wife and
children with him, also several pack
and saddle horses. His gun, revolver
and ammunition were confiscated and
he was compelled to return home
without his hunt. When he reappear-
ed at the agency and reported what
had occurred the Indians held coun.
Gil and enough money was raised
among them to employ a lawyer to
fight the case. The attorney discover
ed, he claims, that under the pro-
visions of one of the treaties between
the tribe and the government the
Flatheads were given permission to
hunt anywhere within the state and
kill game during the open seasons.
The law of last winter is declared to
be in violation of that provision and
the Indians and their lawyer are con-
fident of winning the pending suit,
which is one to recover damages in

NOT FOR SOME TIME.
Talk Of Railroad to Bear Creek Mines
Premature,

HrSN1dIUrSs
" Last Saturday Elijah Smith, the
Boston capitalist, who is interested
in the Bear creek coal mines, took
his departure for the west, intending
to visit different places on the coast
and also make a tour of Mexico be-
fore his final return home. Mr.. Smith
spent about two weeks at Billings
and in Carbon county, looking after
his interests and taking advantage OF
the excellent trout fishing to be had
hereabouts.
When it became known that the
gentleman was here many were Of
the opinion that his presence had con-
nection with an early opening of the
mines and their working on large
scale. Many believed that the an
nouncement of speedy construction
of line of railroad to the mines
would follow. While it is regarded as
a certainty that this will be done
sometime, Mr. Smith said that as far
as he could see the prospects for it
were net of the brightest, at least so
far as any immediate move in that
direction was concerned. If the road
is ever built it will undoubtedly have
its beginning at Bridger, as almost
a natural roadbed exists from there
for the greater part OF the distance
With new president directing the
affairs of the Northern Pacific it is
not regarded as likely that he will
undertake anything involving the ex.
pense attendant upon new work until
he becomes firmly established and
has had an opportunity to tamiliarize
himself with the situation The fur
ther fact that if placed in a position
where their product could be readily
put upon the market the Bear creek
mines would become competitor for
business of which the Northern Pa
cif1c now practically has monopoly
may also have tendency to cause Mr..
Elliott to go little slow in affording
the facilities so greatly desired by
the owners OF those mines.

DANCE OF THE EAGLES.
Orders Annual Charity Ball Proves
Unqualified Success.

Never was the floor of Gruwell hall
better for dancing and never did
Vests orchestra play music more
calculated to set nimble feet in mo-
ton than last Friday night, when
Billings aerie of Eagles held it's annual
charity ball. Neither never did the
hall look more beautiful, nor never
was it decorated more artistically than
on that occasion.
The Eagles are eminently an Ameri-
can and patriotic organization, as Is
evidenced by their selection OF an
emblem, the proud bird of freedom.
Several magnificent specimens, mount
ed, were displayed about the hall,
the walls and ceilings of which were
draped with bunting displaying the
national colors. In fact the entire
scheme of decorations was in red,
white and blue, which formed blend
ing of hues as beautiful as it was
artistic. On each OF the four sides
of the hall was colored drawing OF
an eagle, expressive OF the orders
motto, Liberty, Truth, Justice and
Equality" At these the festoons were
gathered and permitted to fall in
graceful folds between the intervening
space.
Judge F. L. Mann and Mrs. C. l..
Harris led the grand march, which
was participated in by about 100 cou-
pies. Later the attendance was ma
terially increased by other arrivals un-
til about all the floor could convenient
ly accommodate were keeping time
tc the music.
A large sum was derived for the
benefit of the charity fund OF the
aerie, which is ever open to those in
need and distress.

NORTHERN PACIFIC MAN HUNT
ERs LEAVE THE FIELD.
POSSE HAS BEEN DlSBANDED
officials and Detectives Confident That
With GraveIIe's Arrest Chief
conspirator is Caught.

So confident are they that they have
the right man that the Northern Pa
cific officials and detectives, who for
almost month were engaged in that
most exciting Of all hunts-a man
hunt-have dispersed and the head
quarters they have been maintaining
near the depot at Helena have been
abandoned.
For over three weeks Superinten-
dent Boyle, whose headquarters is at
Livingston, remained at Helena with
his car, from which he directed mat
ters. As most of the work Of the
dynamiters was done on his division
he was assigned to the task OF catch
ing the perpetrators. Working In
conjunction with him was the COM
pany's chief detective, McFetridge,
who had direct charge Of the men en-,
geged in the hunt. Under him were
Captain Keown, Frank r. Latta and
Burt Reynolds, the three who captured
Gravelle. Others were G. M. Franklin,
formerly city detective OF Lincoln,
Neb., John Dunn, lately sheriff OF Car
bon county, and Joe Quesenbury, who
had charge of pack of hounds be-
longing to the penitentiary, which
were used in trailing. Franklin also
had two thoroughbred English blood
hounds, with which he made many
trips, both night and day, whenever
fresh outrages were reported. The
same can also be said of the big Tex
an, Quesenbury, who was just as eager
and hopeful. Although the hounds of
both showed what was in them,.
neither mans were in at the last chase.
The satisfaction of the capture and
the credit for it's successful accom-
plshment are with the three BOzeman
men, Keown, Latta and Reynolds.
Friday morning saw the breaking
UP of the band. Mr.. Boyle returned
to Livingston, while Franklin and his
dogs went back to Lincoln and the
Deer Lodge man and his hounds left
for home. The men from Bozeman
also took their departure. The only
one remaining behind was McFetridge.
who had business at Helena that
would keep him there few days lon
ger. 4
While Gravelle is believed to have
had accomplices, it is regarded as
absolutely certain that he was the
chief of the conspirators and with him
safely in custody no further outrages
are looked for. The testimony against,
him which the officers have is said to
be ample to secure his conviction.
So far as known all is OF circumstan.
tial nature, but it is said to be so con-
elusive that no reasonable person can
doubt it and those interested in the
prosecution are satisfied.
What makes it appear that they are
right in their conclusions is the fact
that since Gravelle's arrest no ex-
plosions have occurred and no dyna.
mite has been discovered at any place
along the track. All the guards that
have been patrolling the tracks have
been withdrawn and conditions are
normal again, while trainmen and OH
cials are relieved from the strain un-
der which they labored for weeks.

his shirt sleeves for more than an
hour yesterday to save 100 passen-
gers on the Cleveland, Cincinnati,

cock was frozen SO badly that he had
to be carried into the cars after he
tagged the train near Harrisburg
Glasscock, while walking along the
track, discovered a broken rail at q
point where the embanlment was 4C
feet high. He knew that a south.
bound passenger train was about
due and ran up the track to flag the
train. He used his red lined canvas
coat as o flag, and to make sure that
his signal would be seen by the en-
gineer he held his coat aloft on a
stick, leaving himself unprotected In
the blizzard for more than an hour, as
the train was late. The passengers
made him handsome presents and
each shook his hand.

IT NAY BIZ WELL TO CONSIDER IT.
The Colonel Would Take the Isthmus OF
Panama, Blow Out Canal and Then
Tell Engiand TO Take All She Wants
Of Central America.

Binghamton, N. Y, Feb. 1e.-Col.
Henry Watterson, speaking at q din
ner given him by the Binghamton
Press club, said:
"Fifty years from to-day Germany
will bear the same relative position
to the United States that Holland
does now. Fifty years from to-day,
unless the United States places sus-
tanning hands under John Bulfs
arms, God knows what will become
of him. The Monroe doctrine or re-
publicanism are no longer on trial;
it IL monarchy that is in danger. The
president Of the United States to-
day has tenfold more power than the
king of England and the emperor OF
Germany.
1T accordingly may be well for JUS
to sit down and see what the Monroe
doctrine is. We have said that no
European power shall acquire terri
tory on this continent. II we are
going to protect every little mongrel
nation in order to uphold the Monroe
doctrine, why let's pay Germany her
debt and tell her to get out. But II
we start on this course we will need
an enlarged navy and large army. .
"If / owned this government ! would
take the isthmus of Panama and blow
out a canal mile wide SO as to let
the two oceans flow together. Then

Central America that you want! l
would greatly prefer to have England
and Germany in those countries than

TWO BILLS PASSED.
The Indian and the Philippine Bills
Get Through the Senate.
no DEBATE ON STATEHOOD BILL.
The House Disposed Of Number Of Bills
Under Suspension of Rules, Including
Amendment to Railroad safety
Appliance Law.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Soon after
the senate met yesterday Senator
Quay offered resolution, which
went over under the rule, declaring
1t to be the sense Of the senate that
a date and hour prior to the I'd OF
March should be fixed for final vote
upon the statehood bill. There was
no debate ON the statehood bill yes
terday. The Indian appropriation
bill and the Philippine currency bill
both were passed. Senator Vest,
while the Indian bill was up, called
attention to q point Of order which
had been made against one of its
provisions on the ground that 1t was

provisions out. All rules, he said,
were violated when majority was in
favor of any measure.
Senator Morgan spoke on a ques-
ton Of privilege regarding the dis
patch which recently appeared in the
public prints purporting to be signed
by the Colombian minister TO Mex
icoy Senior Rafael Reyes, in which
Senior Reyes took exception to an al
legged statement by Senator Morgan
in the senate that the Colombian
) president had sold out aud abdicated
for 100000. Senator Morgan de-
clared that there was betrayal Of
Z the senate in the matter Of what
transpires ct executive sessions and
that Senior Reyes had violated prin'
ciple Of diplomacy when he obtained
information surreptitiously from per
sons false to their trust.
The amendment offered by Senator
Patterson, Of Colorado, some day.
