FEDERAL ACTION PLEAsES.
Withdrawal Of Rocky Boy Indian Al
- ~ lotment Approved.

Glasgow. The announcement re-
ceived here from Washington, convey.
Ing the Information that Secretary Bal
l1nger has determined to withdraw
from the Rocky Boy Indians the 50,-
600 acres of land allotted them in the
fertile country northeast of here and
just east of the Fort Peck Indian res.
ervation, has aroused the enthusiasm
Of commercial organizations in north.
eastern Montana. From Williston, in
North Dakota, to Culbertson, across
the line in Montana, and beyond to
Glasgow and Havre, expressions of
satisfaction may be heard, and the
matter is general talk among CONNER
cial men on the trains.
All Want Fair Treatment.
Montana business sentiment favors
fa1r treatment of the Indians, but it
had seemed to the people here that the
interior department, in setting aside
so large fertile tract for the occu-
pancy Of a band of Indians who are
not, and never will be, farmers, had
carried yolicitude for the red man be-
yond any reasonable point. 1t was like
putting barrier to northward in the
path Ut development of the country
from which the towns of Valley and
Choteau counties expect to derive in
creasing patronage in the next few
years.
When the Montana men affixed their
signatures to the telegram of protest
headed by the business representatives
of Minneapolis and St. Paul, they
scarcely hoped for so prompt a re-
spnnse. The order from Secretary
Ballinger is taken here to mean that
the Rocky Boy band will be located
farther out, nearer the mountains,
where the land will be just as good
1t anyway, and the $4,000 acres capa-
BILE of producing fine crops will remain
unoccupied, so that it may be opened
to settlement in the not distant fu-
ture.
Action PIeases Montana.
DR.. Mark NJ. Hoyt, of Glasgow. who
was strong in his opposition to the
plan to give the good land to the In
dams, says Secretary Ballinger could
have done nothing so pleasing to east
era Montana. ut shows" said DR..
Hoyt, that the department is not to
be bound by first decisions when it
can be shown that they are unfavor-
able to commercial development, and
this policy of consideration for the
material welfare of the state means
much for eastern Montana, where
there is so large an area of unoccu-
pied land that, once open to settle
ment, will make thousands of produc-
tive FARMS"

GRAIN STATE DEVELOPING.
Montana's Increase in Wheat and Oats
Fully rs Per Cent.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wheat and oat
crop for this year will be at least Is
per cent greater than last While
threshing is over in nearly every part
of the state except in the Gallatin and
the Judith valleys, it is too early to
obtain reliable estimates of the num-
Der of bushels harvested, because Of
the fact that the crop is slow in NOV
Ing. Oats are now quoted at 81 hun
bred, and wheat at 80 cents bushel,
but farmers are not willing to accept
these prices.
Montana is destined to be one of
the greatest grain-producing states in
the country.
It is only within the last three years
that the crop has been sufficiently large
TO warrant attention in the eastern
market. Some idea of the changing
conditions in this state is shown by
the fact that within three years our
company has built fourteen elevators,
with combined capacity of approx
mately 100000 bushels. The build
ing of these elevators has accelerated
the growing of grain, as it opened the
grain markets of the world to the Mon
tana producer. The acreage in grain
this year was much greater than it
was a year ago, and indications are
that big increase will be shown next
year. Much depends on weather con-
ditions, however.
No finer grain is produced any
where than here in Montana. The
wheat makes excellent flour and be-
cause the oats are heavy they are in
demand for the manufacture Of cereals.
Not only is the grain an excellent
quality, but the yield is large, oats
averaging from seventy-five and eigh-
ty-five bushels an acre and wheat
about thirty-five bushels.

| tom.
Katherine Boren, 3-year-old daughter
OF w. G. BOren, came upon the body
Tuesday morning and ran back to call
her father.
Miss Pelley's clothing was almost
completely torn from her body. The
deep prints of the fingers that had
thrott1ed her were on her throat.
Beside her was her hat and her
broken umbrella. Not far away was
found her book of street car tickets.
Some postcards she had been carrying
in her hand were torn in two. Her
handbag and a dress pattern she had
purchased were gone.
Mob Long Thwarted.
That the Frog" as James was
known did not hang from the Hustler's
arch at Ninth and Commercial streets
Wednesday night was due to the clev-
erness of Chief of Police Egan and
Sheriff Davis in getting him out of the
CITY. The departure of the northbound
Illinois Central train at 1915 was we'll
timed to the carrying out of their plans.
At that hour scarcely a score of men
we're about the station. James was
hustled into the patrol wagon and the
wagon was dashing up Twelfth street
before the watchers realized what had
happened. They started on run after
it, but the officers caught the train.
The destination of Sheriff Davis and
his prisoner was supposed to be Muir
physboro or Carbonate, but tele-
gram from Anna informed him that a
mob was gathering at Anna and he
left the train at Dongola and drove in
the direction of Mill Creek on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad. A crowd of
several hundred were at the depot at
Anna, the former home of Miss Policy,
when the train reached there, but no
attempt was made to search the train
for the negro.
Located by Conductor.
The sheriff bought food and went
down the Big Four track. A train
passed through Karnak little later
and the conductor telegraphed back
from the next station briefly that he
had seen the deputy and the hand
cuffer negro beside the railroad track
a mile beyond Karnak.
When a telegram was received by
friends of Miss Pelley that the trio
were in the woods there, box car
train was quickly made up and de-
parted for Karnack, filled with men.
These men brought the girls slayer
back to Cairo.

WHITE MAN SECOND VICTIM.
Blood Thirsty Mob Doesn't Draw the
Color Line.

Henry Salzner, white man, and
photographer by trade, who killed his
wife last July, with an ak, was taken
out of the county Jail at 11:40 o'clock
by the mob and hanged to a telegraph
pole and his body riddled with bullets.
This lynching followed closely that
of Will James, a negro, earlier in the
evening.
The mob gave Salzner a chance to
confess after the rope was around his
neck, but he was so frightened that he
could only murmur that his sisters did
the killing.
The mob grew restless after this and
it was hard work to keep them off of
Salzner long enough to give him
chance to pray. The mob finally sub
sided and short religious service for
the benefit of Salzner's soul was held,
after which he was strung up, the rope
being placed over telegraph pole at
Twenty-first and Washington streets.
Salzner was photographer and had
been married about two years. 1t was
| known that he had had trouble with
his wife and it is said gave her no
money for food for herself and two
| small babies.
Salzner's Alleged Crime.
One night, last July, Salzner's wife
was found at her home with her skull
fractured and bloody ak was found
| under the bed. The two babies were
playing in the blood.
All evidence pointed to Salzner as
the slayer of his wife and after the
| crime was discovered Mrs. Salzner re-
covered enough to accuse her husband
of the crime. The public was incensed
against him and while part of the
mob was securing the city for the
negro, Alexander, time hung heavy on
| the hands of the balance of the mob
and when some one suggested Salzne1
| the mob rushed for the county jail
| where the man wanted was held in the
steel cage.
| The sheriff and his crowd of deputie7
were pushed aside, and the gathering
down of the door of the cage was at
once begun with sledge hammer that
had been secured.
Prisoner is Secured.
| The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage as it was an entirely
steel structure, but after half hour
| of telling blows upon the door 1t gave
way and Salzner was secured, the mob
rushing him out of the back door OF
the Jail, and up to First street which
is prominent corner and has public
| square and where there was room
enough to hold the gaping crowd.
Salzner was so badly frightened that
he was little more than crazy man
He cried and begged piteously for his
life which met with cries and blows
| from the mob.
After Salzner was hanged and while
the body was being riddled with bull
lets the rope broke and the body fell
to the ground, where it was left by the
mob which went on searching for
Alexander.

driver refused to turn his car.
Turning down the river bank,
distance Of two blocks, the youth
appropriated skiff at the dock and
was on his way to the Kentucky shore
before the frightened citizens of New
Albany knew what had transpired.
An alarm was given through
megaphone on dredgeboat and in
short time the police had started in
pursuit in fast motorboat, capturing
their man and had brought him to

of the police stood off the crowd of
200 which crowded around the dock as

Indiana reformatory at Jefferson
