JEALOUS FLATHEAO BUCK
WOULD LYNCH INTRUDER

WUULU LINCH MIKUDtR
The fact that one Flathead In
dian was less drunk than four or
five others is probably RESPONSE
BILE for the fact that an unidenti-
fled man of foreign birth is not
in the morgue dead through pro-
cess of lynching. The one Indian
retaining a measure of his sober
senses declined to be regarded as
a hero, although he not only saw
ed the foreigners life, but ran
the gauntlet of wrath on the part
of his thwarted and angry broth
er braves.
The near-lynching occurred in
a room about the Butte bar, the
details of the affair being mad.
vertantly made public through
the admission of a Flathead In
dian official and was the result of
the foreigners making love to
comely Flathead squaw through
the medium of a bottle of booze.
The squaw is now in the city Jail,
having been consigned to cell in
the women's ward in order to
keep her out of the way of the
tempter. The foreigner has not
been heard from since making
his way from the rooming house
after his narrow escape.
The facts of the case, as relat-
ed by the persons who are in pos
session of all the details, are as
follows:
On Tuesday afternoon a fair
sized coterie of Indian braves and
officials came from Jocko to at
tend the federal court session.
One of these had left his squaw
to keep house at the agency. She
followed her brave and next day
found him more or less under the
influence of John Barleycorn. She
obtained a domicile at the ROOM
ing house over the Butte bar and
there deposited her scant belong
ings. After this necessary pro-
cedure the squaW went on the
street to look for friends and en-
countered the foreigner. A bot
tie Of whiskey proved the route
to the squaw's heart and she in
vited her newly made friend to
her room. 1t so happened that
the husband of the woman wit
messed the street proceedings
from a secluded place and bitter
jealousy was arousd. He gather
ed together a small band of Flat
heads who had been drinkingwith
him in an alley and raided the
room occupied by his woman and
the foreigner. A rope, purchas-
ased on the way to the room, was
produced, one end being tightly
knotted about the hapless victims
neck and the other to leg of |
the bed. The pitiless redmen had
succeeded in dragging their fight
ing man to the window and were
about to throw him from the
ledge when a half sober buck
burst into the room. He seized
the scared and almost choked for
eigner just in time to prevent
him from falling from the stone
ledge and dragged him back into
the room: Before the nonpulsed
Indians could gather their wits
the sober buck produced a knife,
cut the rope and chased the for
eigner from the room. The res
cuer reported the matter to the
proper authorities. Great Fails

Inquiries still come in from

are anxious to buy, and
parties wishing to sell should list

those who wish to sell and have
so signifled are few, and the de-
