Crazy Prisoner Wrecks Jail.

A news item from Glasgow says
that, after being confined in the won-
ans ward OF the county jail, j. j..
Mcdonald became q raving maniac
Saturday night, and after breaking
up a chair that happened to be in the
cell he took one of the chair legs and
work d a hole into the steel netting
that forms a sort of lathing for the
plastered walls, and then, with his
bare hands, tore out a hole large
enough to get out of his cell into the
corridor.
The jailer heard him raving and
tearing out the wall and telephoned
for help, but by the time the under
sheriff and our house janitor ar
rived Mcdonald was out and had
SIN ashed out every window in his cell
and the other compartments that he
could reach. He was overpowered
and placed in one of the city steel
cages downstairs, where he succeeded
in reaching through the bare and
bre aking out one Of the windows in
that part Of the Jail. The racket he
made and his wild shrieks aroused
the entire community. He will proba.
bly, be taken to Warm Springs.

Must Respect Marriage Laws.

MISSOULA, Nov. 15.-Fallowiug an
investigation conducted by the gov
ernment's agent on the Flathead res
during the past six weeks,
five arrests have been made of Indians
who have been living without regard
to the marriage laws, and according
to Major Fred Morgan, who instituted
the investig %ations, at least Is other
arrests are pending. Those arrested
have confessed their guilt and will
probably be taken directly before the
federal grand jury in Helena without
the formality of a preliminary hear
ing before the local United States
commissioner.
Two years a o the government found
it necessary to pass and enforce strin.
gent marriage laws among the Flat.
heads, many of whom we're living in q
state of polygamy. The common
law" mode of living ia rapidly extend

Alleged Land Frauds In FIathead,

HELENA, Nov. 12.-Judgment for
$40, $50 and costs is demanded in an
action filed in the federal court here
by District Attorney Freeman, on be-
half of the government, against A. v.
Howard, Fred Whiteside, B. F. How.
ard. b. P. Howard, D. H. Hendricks,
w. G. Whiteside and Mary E.
O'Rourke, administr atrix of the estate
of John O'Rourke, deceased.
Three auses Of action are alleged,
all similar, but involving different
tracts of land. 1t is alleged that the
foregoing defend ants located as placer
ground certain tracts of land in the
Kalispell land district, which were
chiefly valuable for agricultural and
timber purposes, and not for the
mineral.
After the location of three claims,
each constituting a separate canse Of
action, 1t is alleged that the land was
transferred to B. F. Howard, who
subsequently, secured patent to the
claims, that Howard transferred them
to John O'Rourke; he, in turn, trans.
ferred them to John w. Pratt, and
Pratt transferred them to Julius Neils
for S8,0O0. Neils, the complaint says,
was an innocent purchaser.
The complaint charges that mineral
laws were not complied with and tina,
the title was fraudulently secured. The
value of the timber on the three claims
is alleged to be S4O, $50.

heart of a splendid hunting and fish
ing country, is we'll timbered, and is,

C~hippewas have desired.
Major W. r, Logan, in charge of
the Belknap reservation, who was
detailed to co operate with Allotting
Agent J. S. Armstrong in locating the
tribe, arrived here last night. Major

A Phenomenal Crop Record.

The fertility of Montana soil, and
climatic conditions that encourage
large crops of agricultural products,
have been given wide publicity from
time to time, and the claims made by
Montana boosters have been backed
by proof in the form of authentic in.
stances of remarkable yields of grain
and forage. A recent contribution to
the list of phenomenal grain produc-
ton is made by Rev. w. w. Van
Orsdel, the we'll known Methodist
preacher, whose v~eracity will not be
