Alloting Agent Deets, in charge of
the work On the CheSlnne River Indian
reservation states that the work along
the Moreau river has been completed
to the vicinity of Thunder Butte, where
they will be compelled to wait until
the force sent out by the geological
survey arrives to settle tho question of
coal lands in that vicinity. The work
of allotment will be continued in other
sections until the geological force ar
rives, which is expected this fall yet
if the weather remains such as to per-
nit the work. If the government de-
cides that the land has sufficient coal
underlying it, to be set aside as coal
land, it will be held out of that part
OF the reserve to- be opened, and the
Indians will be given the benefit of
the mineral.

OF apoplexy sustained early Wednssda,
morning. The funeral took place at 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The bust
1esS houses all closed.

Thirteen hours after receiving a
fatal wound from a shotgun in the
hands OF Gunder Tangen. at Florence,
viii Bend died shortly after 5 o'clock
1t the WatSrtown hospital. AS nearly
rs can be learned, Tangen asserted
hat Bond Monday night looted his
DersCn of some money. Tuesday night
ut about s O'Clock, Tangen met Bond
in a livery stable at Florence and &C.
cused his victim of the theft. Bond
denied the accusation vehemently and
Indignantly, and hot words followed
1t is said that Tangen thereupon de-
clared that he would kill Bond. and
at once set out to put the threat in
execution. Going Immediately to a
hardware store Tangen purchased a
shotgun. Report is that he went to
Bonds home, inquired of Mrs. Bond
for her husband, and was told that he
was not at home. Tangen is said to
have then told Mrs. Bond he was 60
ing to shoot her husband, and started
for the livery barn. Mrs. Bond made
a vain attempt to get to the barn first
and warn her husband, but she was
too late. Tangen reached the man
first, pulled up and shot his victim in
cold blood. Tagen, the arrested man,
is 4 bachelor and lives on a farm neal
Florence. BY general reputation he
has been a hard drinker, and, in fact,
has been found more often drunk than
sober. 1t is believed that excessive
use of liquor has unbalanced his mind.

Tuesday an Indian, Afraid-of-his-DOg,
and his wife went down to Avon or
Tyndall, where they acquired a nice
big jag, and took a quantity of the jag
material along with them when they
eft town, to help matters along. Going
home along Choteau creek, he drove
so near a precipice that horses, wagon
and Indian went over and rolled to
the bottom. When found his neck was
under the edge of the wagon box, brok-
en-, whether by the fall or by the box
it is not definitely known. The squaw
escaped as she was not in the wagon
whent he spill occurred. The coroner
was notified and went down to the
scene of accident, but held no inquest,
as it was not considered necessary
under the circumstances which were
so plain as to need no jury investiga-
ton.

While hunting ducks on the upper
pass at Chain Lakes. H. A. Babcock,
one of the best known citizens of Wa
tertOWn, was shot, the shot making a
ragged hole about two inches below
the elbow joint of the left arm. Mr..
Babcock and ID. F. Jones left TO, the
lakes in Mr.. BabcOck's automobile.
While at the pass they met Henry
Hanten, who was also hunting. Along
towards evening, Babcock and Hanten
were in n of the pits waiting for the
evening flight. Babcock was out of
the pit lying on his back; Hanten was
a little below him. the pit being on
come nicely settled when a small flock
of ducks anne over the pass, and both
the hunters made ready to- take a shot
at them. Hanten was the first one to
shoot. and just as he pulled the trie-
ger of his gun Babcock raised from
his position on his back. The shot
from Mr.. Hanten S gun penetrated the
arm of Mr.. Babcock and the shock OF
being hit made him so weak that il
was some time before he was able 10
get up. Mr.. Jones bandagcd the
wounded member as best he could.
Babcock was the only one who knew
how to run the machine. In his in
iured condition it was not thought that
he could possibly get home, but after
three or four efforts to start the ma
chine. succeeded. Steering with his
left hand he made a terrific run for
the city. In climbing the hills, Mr..
Jones would steer the machine and
Babcock would manipulate the levers.
At times, Mr.. Babcock was on the point
of %fainting. but managed to keep up
until he reached home.

JAP SEALERS R0B
 ALASKA NATIVES

Unga, July Especial Correspond ence)-Jadanese sealers are again committing outrages upon the Alaska natives living to the westward and the natives practically helpless, are abandoning their coast encampments and seeking safety inland. Word of the latest act of piracy on the part of Japanese reached Unga today with the arrival of q native Russian named Creevden who has been sea otter hunting in the vicinity of Siminofsk island.
 Creevden says that the Japanese came to his camp, ,.destrOyed his house and outbuildings, stole every thing of value and then went to Jack Smiths farm on.the same island and stole q lot of lumber. Fearing violence and the loss of three otter skins that he has taken, Creevden and his party decided to return to Unga. He re- ports that the footing and destruction of his own place is only one of a number of acts of piracy committed by the Japanese, who are also violat- ing the law with regard to hunting both seal and otter.

EAGLE MAIL ROUTE
 IS DISCONTINUED

Once again has that department of the government that disposes of the dcstinics of Alaska's mail service ta- ken action that is the cause of con- demnation on the part of those who are supposed to benefit by the ser vice. This time it is the cancellation of the contract held by Jack Miller and the consequent depriving of somo 200 persons of mail service.
 Miller has had the contract to car ry mail from Valdez to Eagle, and when he bid he based his estimates on four year job but now, with about two years to run, the contract is taken away from him. The instruc- tions received by Postmaster Jeffer- son provide that from September 30 route 78,l0S, from Valdez to Eagle be discontinued and also order that from September 30 route 78, ,113 from Valdez to Fairbanks be SO changed az to embrace the mail service on the Valdez-Eagle route between Valdez and Gakona.
 This change means that the Orr company will carry the mail for Ton sina, Copper Center and Gulkana and it will give those towns mail once week from October to No vember |, twice week for November and from that time on until the spring service three times n week. This ex- tra mail will be included in tho extra weight provided for by the revised contract entered into some months ago by the government and the Orr company and does not benefit the Orr company.
 All those persons living between Gulkana and Eagle must do without mail service from September 90 on, unless they journey to either one or the other of tho towns mentioned. These persons were served under the Miller contract and not only do they lose the service but Miller looses all chance of making any money on his contract.
