INDIANS STILL IN JAIL.

Will Be Taken to Agency and Punish
ed BY Indian Court.
Major S. G. Reynolds came in this
morning from Crow Agency to look af-
ter his charges who are in the city
Jail charged with being drunk.
Major Reynolds found soon after his
arrival that all four Of the Indians
were here without permission and he
will have them held in Jail here until
the fair is over and they will then
be taken to the agency and tried on
the charge of leaving the reservation
without permission, before the Indian
court that holds regular sessions
there. Major Reynolds had two of the
Indians, Ben Gardner and Stanley,
brought out this morning for an in
terview. In his presence they acted
very much like school boys who mad
been caught stealing watermelons.
Ben made the excuse that he had fin
ished his work and the boss farmer
had told him he could come over with
some horses. Stanley had very little
to say except that he had only drank
one glass of beer, and was not drunk
at the time he was arrested.
Major Reynolds is determined to
make hot fight on bootleggers. He
says the Big Horn Indians have got
ten into the. habit of fording the river
and stealing to Billings, where some
one supplies them with all the Whis-
key they want. They take this back
to camp and a high old time follows.
He will prefer a charge against Hat
tie Williams in the United States
court She is the woman whom the
Indians acknowledge furnished them
with the beer For the present she
will be held ON a state charge, and
she was taken before Justice Mann
this afternoon, where she entered a
plea of not guilty to the charge of
selling liquor to an Indian. Her
friends have employed w. M. John
ston to defend her and Mr.. Johnston
would doubtless have instituted ha-
beas corpus proceedings had the
charge not have been filed. Judge
Fraser, United States commissioner,
will return home tomorrow and the
charge under the federal statutes will
then be lodged against her. The case
in Judge Mann's court will be heard
Saturday afternoon.

THOUGHT HIM A MOOSE.
Season for Fools With Guns Opens in
Minnesota.

Two Harbors, Mimi, Sept. 21.-The
remains of Sakaris Syrjald, the Fin
lander who was shot to death by uni
Identified persons while on his way to
a claim on Birch river last Wednes-
day, were brought to Ely by the cor
oner and a party. 1t was found ne
had been shot in the back, the ball en-
tering lust below the righ shoulder and
emerging from the left breast. The
coroner verified the statements made
by Pretila, partner of the dead man,
to the effect that the shot was fired
from the shore, distance OF about l0O
wards. He also found that the shot
was fired from a 5000 rife, the shell
being found on the point OF land where
Pretila says he saw the men.
The tracks of man and boy were
found near the place from where the
shot was supposed to have come.
There is no doubt that the man was
shot for a moose or deer by mistake
by some hunters, who, after seeing
what they had done, made their es-
cane. Several good clues are at hand,
however, and there is likely to be de-
velopments that will somewhat check
the tendency to shoot at everything
that moves in the woods. syrjald was
president of the Ely Finnish Temper
ance society.
