ALLEGED THAT INDIAN MARRIED
GIRL IS YEARS OLD.
COMPLAINANT
Told Clerk that His Fiancee Who ls
a Russian Girl Was 10 Years Of Age
Married in This City December 9,
by colored Preacher.

From Thursdays Daily.
William Eagle, an educated Crow
Indian residing on the reservation
near Pryor agency, was arrested at
Crow Agency yesterday on a charge
of perjury and was brought to the city
last night by Sheriff Webb.
1t is alleged in a complaint which
has been issued against Eagle that he
perjured himself in securing a mar
riage license to marry Agnes Langen-
field on December 9, last year, in that
he stated in his deposition that the
girl was 10 years old, when in fact,
it is said she is but IS years Of age.
The girls father, Matt Langenf1eld
is the complaining witness in the case.
He is a Russian, and although Eagle
claimed that the girl was a half breed
he says that she is not but is Of Rus
sian parentage. In securing the mar
rage license Eagle stated that the
girl resided at Rotten Grass, in Rose
bud county and that he resided at
Lodge Grass. He gave his age as %
years.
Names Of Witnesses.
The couple were married December
8, last year, by Rev. B. McCully, pas
tor Of the African Methodist Episco-
pal church. The witnesses whose
names are signed on the returned Ii
cense are John Smith and Ed. Smith.
Less than two weeks after the cou-
pie were married q man claiming to
be the girls father appeared at the
clerks offices and stated that Eagle
had committed perjury If he had
sworn that the girl was 10 years OF
age. He was referred to the county
attorney by the clerk but did not call
on him at that time. It is said that
the man had been to the county at.
torney before concerning the girl and
that on account of charges being I'M
founded OF something of that nature
he was not in the best of repute with
that officer. @g5
"A complaint was issued last Satur.
day, however and Sheriff Webb left
Tuesday morning for Pryor Agency.
When he reached Pryor he was in
formed that the Indian police had ar
rested Eagle and that he was in jail
at Grow Agency. The sheriff imme
diately returned to Billings and went
to the agency yesterday morning.

A number OF settlers under the ditch

There r several fine claims above

the directors decided, that water will
be furnished to such lands at between

The directors are being praised for

as the ditch, owing to widening the
canal in places, putting In heavier and
more expensive structures, and MAX

that the price would be raised. Long

Vermont Savings Bank
Money Should be Used ira
Vermont.
tFrom the Northfield News

The largest advertiser in Vermont is ex-
Gov. Carroll ). Page of Hyde Park, one of
the states best and most progressive citizens.
No individual or corporation IN existence
has better demonstrated the practical value OF
judicious but at the same time liberal advertis-
ing than Gov. Page.
Gov. Page has not only won a worldwide
reputation as a dealer in hides, but he has
gained an enviable standing which extends far
beyond the limit OF his own state as a
hnancier.
At the head of the financial institutions of
Hyde Park, he has carried his ideas OF bank
ing methods to a complete success.
One of his cardinal principles in the latter
line has been vermont money in Vermont 10
foster state industries and to develop Yer.
mont enterprises" He points with pardon
able pride to the fact that the HYDE Park Saw
ings Bank under his direction has never
loaned a dollar outside of the state and fur.
thermore, has never lost single dollar by
bad loan.
A large business has been built up in this
banking institution by local advertising. Last
year Gov. Page decided that his bank had
better have more deposits and vigorous ad-
vertising campaign was started in the state
press, largely with the weekly papers, with the
result that nearly quarter OF million dollars
was gained in deposits in six months
The campaign has not let up and the depos-
its are still rapidly increasing. 1t looks as if
the governor intended to make Hyde Park
famous in the financial world as it is in the
hide markets OF every civilized nation.
The great success which Gov. Page has won
in the commercial world and financial world
has unquestionably been due to strict integrity,
devotion to sound business principles, active
and progressive methods coupled with lib
eral use of printers ink.
