well, we will not trade with YOU See
you have crossed the line, and your
goods are on the big Queens land and
therefore belong to her. Seel wonder
come some Indians who are going to
take them.''
The speaker pointed to the south and,
loi along the rivers bank there came up,
out of a marsh-like depression, some
three score of pony riders who were
plainly between us and the cairn which
marked the boundary line
Bonhomme's face paled. He had not
thought the Sioux, after their late chas-
tisement, would dare an overt act of
hostility. His action was as prompt as
it was brave. He called to his men, of
whom he had ten in attendance, to put
themselves under arms and repel any
attempt to take the goods
With military precision his guards
and freighters seized their weapons and
took position behind their wagons. They
were armed with repeaters and prepared
to put up stiff fight, and Bonhomme,
with commanding gesture, sent his
late visitors scuttling away to their tepees.
AS the squad of wild riders clattered
toward us we saw, from their wholly

cheated them and
that Bonhomme,

heard much, was
the worst of the

that they were newcomers, not of Sitting Bulls
immediate party.
Bonhomme heaved sigh of relief It's just a
bluff, he said. Those fellows won't attack, but
want to if We'll scare
Sure enough, the squad rode by apparently paving
attention; but their bluff proved a serious
one, for as they swept past, they veered between
our wagons and the mule herd, which, in charge
of wrangler, was grazing some forty rods away In
a twnkling every Indians blanket was swinging
about his head, and yelling mob rushed at the
mules and stampeded the whole herd. The wrangler
escaped his pony by sharp dash the river
and toward his camp.
Firing upon the stampeders could have done no
good, and so stood helplessly and watched our
stock driven over the nearby hills Bonhomne, who
had traded all his life among the Crows, Shoshones
and Blackfeet, had evidently met with a new ex-
perience 1t looked now as though his expedition
was destined to than failure.
: His nearest recourse for help was Fort Benton
eighty miles away. We had still three riding
ponies, my own among the number, which were
picketed close to the wagons. We could send
courier to Benton-there were troops there
and sometime within ten days could expect the
return of freight teams to pull back our wagons.
In the meantime big wagons were on the
Canadian side of the boundary line, and it would
be impossible to pull them across with our little
broncos even had they been accustomed to harness
There the possibility of attack also bv the
whole force of Indians, although it looked to us
that the Sioux had simply set trap to capture
all OF Bonhomme's property without loss to them
selves There was, at the least, prize money for
some one if the Canadian police should be brought
down to seize goods In fact, the situation was
as exasperatingly gloomy could well happen to
any set of men,

but Sitting Bulls Indians, since their defeat and
exile had laid aside their predatory habits. Trading
with Indians is at all times SLOW and unless one is
possessed of great patience is vexatious business
Bonhomme had been for thirty years trader,
and so was not surprised when forty-eight hours
again elapsed without the visit of single Indian
to camp
After two days of this lazy business Indians began
to stragge in. At first they brought no robes but
wanted to see what goods to be snapped"
Bonhomme declined to show goods under the
circumstances. Bring your robes, he said,

just before the hour appointed for starting

SAN PEDRO June 16.-The San
Pedro pilgrims in Salt Lake object to
having accounts of their doings pub
lished in the home paper. They are go
ing to begin suit against Winfield Hoga-
boom, editor of the News.sfor defama-
ton of character. The following tele-
gram was received this morning:

"To Hogaboom, Editor News, San
Pedro-Upon return will start suit for
one million dollars for defamation of
character. "W. H. WICKERSHAM,
FRANK BURNS,
"B. BRILLIANT"
There seems to be no doubt about the
authenticity of the dispatch, though the
attorneys for the editor of the News,
Messrs. Hyatt, Goodrich, Steigeitz and
Downing, at the conference this after
noon raised the point that the telegram
clearly shows fraud from the fact that
it could not have been sent by the per-
SONS whose names are signed to it, as
it was sent from Salt Lake at 1925 this
morning. There is but one logical ex-
PLANTATION of his-Wickersham may not
have gone to bed at all that night
The News thus says: THE editor of
the News will defend himself vigor-
ously. He will not give up a million
dollars without struggle.
"Of course, further publication of
letters from the News correspondent in
Salt Lake will have to be foregone be-
cause the editor would not like to be
putting up million dollars every few
days for any great length of time un
less it were absolutely necessary"

new Ivy Avenue high school.
The stage was decorated with class
colors of lavender and white, and seate
beside the graduating class and speak
ers was a chorus of thirty-five, which
gave several numbers on an interesting
program of music and addresses. The
address to the class was made by Rev.

Ontario. Judge II. A. Pierce of Los
Angeles presented debating pins, while
Mrs. w. f. Marshall, the president of
the board of school trustees, gave a
pleasing address as she awarded the
diplomas.
A distinguishing feature of the evening
was the absence of the usual long
essays. Only the salutatory, delivered
by Miss Blanche Knowlton, and the
valedctory were given.
Prof. Nathan F. Smith called atten-
tion to the high average attendance
during the past year He said that a
daily attendance of ninety was unusual
ly large, considering the territory that
the school had to draw from. The
graduates were Misses Buelah Ding

the affair is that the completion of the
