curt rebuff the other day by a woman
OF the back woods who did moi know
she was speaking to the head of the
nation. AT Red Hill. Albemarle

the train to go to the country home

noticed a plainly dressed woman at
tempting to get on the car. Rushing
forward, Mr.. Roosevelt assisted her
to ascend the steps. He then caught
her hand and gave it a regular tex.

"Young man, l don't know who you
are, and l don't care a cent, but |
must say you are the freshest some.

hundred yards wide. The wind hurled
rocks through the air, one of them
striking the herder on the head and
inficting a nasty wound. the herder
being also thrown to the ground and
badly crippled. The herder's dog

An important suit involving the

In the United States circuit court, the
bill OF complaint being filed by United

suit being brought in the interest of

ervation.

liams, the Matheson Ditch company,
Cooks Irrigation company and the
Empire Cattle company.
The complaint sets up the allega'
ton that the agency and the Indian:
OF the reserv alton depend upon the
waters of the Milk river and its tribu
taries for domestic, culinary aud irri
eating purposes. The defend ants. i
is charged, have entered upon tn,
river and its tributaries and con
structed dams and reservoirs for irri
CATION purposes, and have thus pre-
vented the waters from flowing upor
the reservation, and have deprived
the Indians of the use of the waters
to their irreparable damage.
The plaintiffs ask en- injunction re
straining the defendants perpetua all,
from erecting, keeping up or main
tanning dams or reservoirs of an,
kind in or across the channel of tn
Milk river or its tributaries, and fror
in any manner impeding or prevent
ing the waters from flowing down t
the point Of use by the Indians.
Judge Hunt has issued an order TO
the defendants to show cause at Hel
ena on July II why a general injunt
tion during the tendency of the sui
should not be issued. Meanwhile,
temporary injunction is granite
against defendants as prayed in tn
bill of complaint.
