Result of the Fourth.

The death rate all over the country
due to the observance of the Fourth has
been reduced considerably because of
public sentiment in facor of sane
celebration and to rigid laws prohibit
ing certain dangerous explosives and
other regulations. The returns from
over the country show that up to mid
night SO were killed, as against Sc
at the same time in 1908, falling off
at 90. There were 1853 injured.
The reports from all cities show a
material decrease in the number of
killed and injured and especially in Chi
cago and suburbs, where IL were killed
and ia injured in 1908 as against none
killed and "a injured this year.
The loss by fire amounted to 1891 ,615

FOUND $4,000 IN BIBLE.
Now Thinks There Is Something in Re-
hgion After All.

When Stephen Marsh started from
New York recently for Denver, where
he will make his homo with a prosper
GUS son he had nearly $4,000, which had
come to him unexpectedly, and declared
his conversion to strong belief in the
Bible. When his spinster aunt died 35
years ago she left him only Bible
with the board backs fastened by a
gold clasp. Marsh was not of a reli-
gious turn of mind and cast the Bible
into an old trunk, where it remained
untouched until yesterday, when he
started to pack for his journey west.
On opening the Bible he found that be-
tween the leaves had been stored
$4ss7.30 in paper money, much of it
in fractional currency on which there
may be premium now. AS Marsh had
lived for many years on pension of
$12 month, the finding of the none
tary mama in his financial wilderness
Immediately converted him to strong
belief in the Bible.

is so great from many parts of the
United States that it would hardly
pay man to take a chance if the
transportation cost him close to $75
The whole thing is gamble, and the
government wants to increase the poor
mans chance. For that reason three
openings are made simultaneously.
The time has come when much
vigilance must be exerted. Specula
tions must be discouraged and the
many men who actually need homes
must receive their deserts.
Must Live on Land.
"The rule in regard to residence Oh
the land will be strictly enforced. A
man who files must actually live or
the land. Absence from the land fol
purposes of pleasure will not be
tolerated, and the person who wishes
to secure a patent must abide by the
laws of the government, which state
clearly that actual and continuou.
residence must be maintained. Where
a person is called upon to give aid tt
a sick person, the government will
give wide latitude, but the moment thi,
privilege is abused the person thus
violating the rules lays himself oper
to seizure of the land by the govern
ment. In that case, of course, the pay
ments already made to the government
would be dead personal loss.

not reach the tribe until 1860, more of
the supplies being sold to white settlers
than were delivered to the nation Is
wards.
When the first treaty was made the
tribe, then living in the Bitter Root
valley, where it's members were happy
and contented, were not willing to
move bag and tepee to the reservation,
and to satisfy Chief Victor a clause
was inserted, as follows:
cit is moreover provided that the
Bitter Root valley, above the Loo Lo
fork, shall be carefully surveyed and
examined, and if it shall prove, in the
judgment of the president, to be better
adapted to the wants of the Flathead
tribe than the general reservation pro-
vided for in this treaty, then such por-
tions of it as may be necessary shall be
set apart as separate reservation for
said tribe. No portion of the Bitter
Root valley above the Loo Lo fork
shall be open to settlement until such
examination is had and the decision of
the president is made known"
Much litigation followed to arrive at
the correct Interpretation of this treaty.
It was followed by an executive order
in 1871, finding that the Bitter Root
valley was not better adapted to the
needs Of the tribe than the general res
ervation, the order adding that it was
"deemed unnecessary to set apart any
portion of said Bitter Root valley as a
separate reservation for the Indians
referred to in said treaty."
Though no treaty existed before June
16, 1855, Governor Stevens appointed
Thomas Adams special agent for the
Flatheads in 1854, and the following
year the government appointed DR..
Lansdale of Oregon as the first regular
agent for the three tribes. He estab-
lished an agency at the mouth of the
Jocko river on the present reserve, near
what is now the town of Dixon.
Mrs. Minnie Miller, wife of Henry c.
Miller, who went to Utah from New
York in 1855 and eloped with the belle
of the Mormon settlement in the spring
of 1856, was the second white woman
within the limits of what is now the
state of Montana, and the first to take
up actual residence. The one women
who preceded her was simply passing
through the country from Winnipeg
Manitoba, on the way to the Pacific
coast. In clipping Miller and hi.
bride made their way on horseback tc
Fort Hall, trading post, owned by
the Hudson Bay company, then il
what is now the state of Idaho. They
were received by Captain Richard
Grant, in charge of the post, and were
married.
| The Millers awaited the return oil
DR.. Lansdale from Salt Lake and were
engaged to take charge of the reserva
ton during his absence in Oregon
They remained at the agency until the
fall of 1852, when they moved to Walls
Walla. At that time the agency con
sisted of only a few log cabins. Mrs
Miller lived there from her arrival il
1856 until she departed in the fall OF
1857, without seeing another white
woman. DR.. Lansdale went to Port
land, Ore, later, and in 1860 Majo7
John Owen was appointed his successor
with headquarters at Fort Owen, il

now the town of Stevensville. Othe,
