Among the most singular archaeology
ical remains found in Great Britain are
the ancient dew ponds" the construc-
ton Of which is ascribed to people of
the Neollthic age. The purpose of
these ponds was to furnish drinking
water for cattle. An exposed position,
where springs were absent, was Sc
lected, and a broad. followed surface
was formed and covered over with
straw or some other nonconducting
material. Above was spread a thick
layer Of clay strewn with stones. Dur
ing the night the cold surface of the
clay caused an abundance Of moisture
to condcnSe from the lower layers OF
the air. Some of these ancient dew
ponds are still in working order.

sCALLON's GOOD WORK.

Every reputable and law.abidt uE
Montana citizen should be ~interested
in the good work undertaken by Will
liam Scallon, Of Butte, who fs pr EST
dent OF the Civic league Of that city
Mr.. Scallon aud his friends have a
lively fight on their hands-a battle
on behalf of good morals and the en-
forcement Of Montana laws,-and are
entitled to the commend alton and sup.
port of the general community.
The cause of the strife is the open
and fragrant violation Of the 9 ntt'
gambling law in Butte. The city au-
thorities appear to have some under
standing with the gambling frater nifty
by the terms of which the resorts are
permitted to do business under a
periodical fine or license contribution
to the municipal treasury. Several
Of these gambling houses have been
running wide open in Butte, without
any attempt on the part of public off,
cials to enforce the law against their
proprietors, and the situation bee anne
SO intolerable that a syndicate OF
Butte business men offered to contrib
ute to the city treasury the amount OF
revenue received from the gamblers II
the municipal authorities would close
the resorts.
This patriotic offer having met
with no response, Mr.. Scallon and
his Civic league friends issued a dec.
laration of war against the law
breakers. They secured evidence that
the anti.gambling law was being vio'
lated in Butte, presented it to the
county attorney of Silver Bow county,
aud requested that official to file an
information against the ace nsed.
This county attorney, whose oath OF
office requires him to take the action
requested. positively refused to do
any such thing.
Mr.. Scallon then wOre out war.
rants Of arrest against several Of the
gamblers, and after considerable de.
lay the sheriff Of Silver Bow county
reluctantly performed his duty 10 this
connection. The accused are having
a hearing in the justice court at Butte,
but the county attorney will not allow
MIR. Scallon to take part in the prose-
cution of the defendants. The attOr'
neys who will defend the gamblers
also object to the strenuous 9 forts
MIR. Scallon would probably ma Ike &c
secure conviction.
More power to the arm OF William
Scallon in his fight for the e q force'
ment OF the law and the publication
of the moral atmosphere. The aver
age Montana citizen has a good hear
and is opposed to vice in its various
forms, but he has . natural reluct
ance to take q prominent part 10 I'm
pleasant matters affecting the public
welfare. Mr.. Scallon's good work |
worthy of emulation elsewhere.

Whites Amhushcd BY Indians.

V1N1TA, l. T., March 12.-Six United
States deputy marshals we're am
pushed in Spavinaw hills, I. T., near
Kansas, by a band of Indian fullblood
outlaws last night. In a fight which
ensued, three deputies were killed.
Thomas Wofford, one of the depu.
ties who escaped, carried the news to
Tahlequah today and Marshal Oar.
raugh issued orders to rush e
deputy marshal in the northern dis
trict Of the Indian Territory to the
scene.
The marshal in addition wired the
department Of justice at Washington,
asking authority to swear in 100 sddi.
tional deputies and to offer q reward
OF 81, 900 for each OF the outlaws, dead
or alive. He has gone to Kansas, l.
T., and will presumably direct opera.
lions against the outlaws.
The outlaws are alleged to be headed
by Charles, John and Tom Wickliffe,
sons of the former justice of the
Cherokee supreme court. The three
Wickliffes FIVE years ago were con.
cerued in q stabbing ARRAY at an In.
dian dance. Last March members OF
the gang killed Deputy Victor and
escaped after a battle with q posse
and they are credited with having
committed many other crimes. They
r alleged to be professional horse
thieves and for a long time have given
the authorities much trouble.

INDIANS NOT WANTED.
Valley County Citizens Request That They
Remain In North Dakota.

A dispatch from Washington says
the story of the proposed location OF
the Turtle mountain Indians from
North Dakota or government lands in
Valley county, Montana, so far as
ascertainsble, is as follows:
About fifteen years ago p. j. Nc.
Cumber, now senator from North Da.
kots, negotiated a treaty with these
Indians for the cession Of their reser-
walton In north central North Dakota,
the government agreeing to allow them
to take all0tments % or off the reser.
walton and to pay them one million
dollars for about 500, 600 acres of land.
The bill finally ratifyiug the treaty
never passed congress until about two
years ago. The Indians are 10 fact
Chippewas and many of them half aud
quarter breeds. About a month ago
the Indian agent at DEVILS Lake,
North Dakota, wrote the Indian Office
that there was not sufficient good lands
on the Turtle mountain reserv alton to
allOt all Of them and asked authority
of the department 0 employ an agent
to look up government lands for them,
as under the terms of the treaty they
could select any acant surveyed
lands. An agent was sen into east
ern Montana, who reported that ia
April this year several townships of
government land would be open to en-.
try along the Big Muddy in Valley
county, Montana, and recommended
the allotment of these lands to the In.
dians. The people at Cnlbertson,
learning of the move to dump 400 or
500 North Dakota Indians and half
breeds in their midst, took steps to
prevent. il possible, such action.
Protests were filed with Senator Car.
ter and Congressman Dixon, asking
them to take up the matter with the
Indian Office. Yesterday they filed a
protest with the commissioner of In.
dian aft fairs and the matter is now be-
fore the department. Under the law
it is not possible TO prevent the In
dians from entering the lands, but the
Montana representatives ask that the
alloting agents be instructed to look
| up locations in North Dakota.
