GAME WARDEN IS SLAIN
BY FLATHEAO INDIANS
Redskins ENGAGE in Battle with
Montana officer, Who Kills Four
After Being Mortally
Wounded.

Butte, Mont.--A special to the
Miner from Ovando, Mont, says:
During a fight with four Flathead
Indians, which resulted while he was
making an effort to place them under
arrest for violating the game laws,
Deputy Game Warden B. Peyton was
killed Monday afternoon near Holland
prairie, in the Swan river county, six
ty miles west of this place. Although
Peyton was MORALLY wounded, he
fired upon the redskins, and brought
each of them down with fatal bull
let. Herman Rudolph, also a deputy
came warden, who was with Peyton
in the battle, escaped uninjured.
According to the story told by Ru-
dolph. he and Peyton went to the
camp of the Indians upon being adj
vised that they were killing more
large game than permitted by law,
and he informed them that they
would have to go to Missoula. The
Indians refused to comply with the
order, and when Peyton threatened to
use force, four of the number ran off
o short distance, turned quickly and
commenced firing with their rifles.
One of the rife bullets struck Pey-
ton in the breast and he fell bleed
ing to the ground. With supreme
nerve, however, he rested his arm
upon the ground, and in rapid success
sion sent four shots after the murder
ers. every shot taking effect and
bringing the Indians to their end.
Peyton was one of the most fearless
members OF Game Warden Scott's
stan, and was a dead shot. He was
feared by the Indians, having arrest
Cd many of their number on previous
occasions for similar offenses. He
leaves a wife and three small chill
