The Grand Jury's Report.

We published, in our issue Of last
week, the report of the Noxubee county
grand jury for the February term OF
circuit court. It is not our purpose to
criticize that body, either as individuals
or as a grand jury, bnt that document
is so remarkable in 50 many particulars |
that we feel constrained to reflect TO !
some extent, what we know to be pub
scptimen in reference to it.
In the first place a NoXubee grand
Jury has nothing to do with ottenses
against the peace and dignity OF the
State beyond the county confines, More
than this. to condone offenses against
the laws of the State is stiIl more re-
markable. We agree that anything
that has a tendency to lower the mgh
regard which the people have always
! eyinced for the judiciary, is severely
censurable, and to be condemned IN no
measured terms. But the question is,
who has lowered this high standard
heretofore observed by the Mississippi
judiciary. Was it jenkins or was 1t
Robert Cochran? Did jenkins hunt
| Cochran down and force him into com
bat in order to defend himself, or VISA
versa, did the Judge 60 to the pubhc
place where jenkins had a right to be
and force him, at the peril Of his life,
to submit to an indignity and an outrage
, that no man, with the instincts OF
3 man would submit to, and which ha'
e heen condemned most severely by GU
laws. When C5ch IN sought jenkins
@ for battle he recognized and acknowl
r edged the peerage Of his antagonist
e and placed himself. with the spotles
e ermine which he IS supposed to wear
e upon an equality with the "hoodlur
and outlaw" that he sought. How C.

trolls all companies in this state.
whether board or non-board. Mr.. Still
man came here at the request Of the
state auditor, who, after a comparison
of rates CHARGE in other Western
states, found thai Montana was being
disseminated against. He took the
matter up with Stillman by mail sever
al months ago. and made the sugges.
tion that the board reschedule and re.
rate the Montana towns.
AS result Of this request the board
began an investigation and already has
rescheduled Anaconda and Lewistown,
where the rerating shows an average
reduction Of approximately Is pei
cent. The board has ordered more
men into this field and will increase
the number so long as they can be EN-.

These cities, it is expected, will be

Of Mr.. Stillman that the task can be
completed within year or flfteen
months.

Treaty With the indians Has Been en-
tered Into.
The Fort Peck Indian reservation II
Northeastern Montana, containing
about 100000 acres. or one-haif that
contained in the Flathead reservation
in Northwestern Montana. is soon 70
he opened for settlement. The Fiat
head reservation will be opened next
year.
A treaty providing for the opening
Of the Peck reservation has just neen
entered into between James McLaugn-
lin. on behalf Of the government ana
379 male Indians on behalf OF the
tribes. The Indians bound by the
agreement are the Sioux and Assinni-
boine tribes belonging and having
rights on the reservation. The red
men agree to surrender to the govern
ment all land within the reservation,
provided that allotments OF 800 acres
each shall first be made to every man,
woman and child belonging to or hav-
ing tribal rights on the reservation
who have not heretofore received al
lotments. 1t is agreed that If the gov
eminent irrigates the lands forty acres
thereof may be included. In addition
heads Of families and adult members
more than eighteen are allotted the
timber lands within the reservation
bordering along the Missouri river,
and, further, 100-acre allotments OF
non-irrigable lands are to be made to
each child born to the Indians who are
parties to the agreement SO long as
the reds are In possession of any un-
allotted tribal or reservation lands.
The agreement provides for the APP
pointment OF a commission Of three to
inspect, appraise and value all lands
not allotted or reserved, and they
shall be divided into three classes
first and second class agricultural
lands and grazing. When this is done
the lands shall be disposed of under
the homestead and townsite laws OF
the United States. the date to be fixed
by the president. In no case shall the
valuation be less than $1.25 an acre.
After deducting the expenses the
funds so received are to be credited to
the Indians by the national treasurer.
and from this $4,000 will be set aside
annually as a pension for the aged red
men. At the end Of fifteen years the
sum remaining shall be distributed
equally among the Indians.
The land is situated chiefly in Val.
ley county and is watered by the Mis-
souri, and Milk rivers and most advan'
tageously situated for reclamation.
