Saturday morning the jury
in the Van Lewis murder case
at Terry filed into the court
room and informed Judge
O'Hern that a verdict had been
reached. The defendant was
found not guilty. The trial had
occupied the attention of the
court since Monday and at
tracted as much attention as
any ever tried in the eastern
part of Montana.

London, Nov. 4.-The de-
feat of the Greek government
in the chamber of deputies
and the consequent resigna-
ton of the Zaimis cabinet is
the latest sensation afforded by
the Balkans.
While, of course, it was un-
derstood that Eleutherios Ven
izelos, the former premier,
had it in his power to turn
the government out whenev-
er he desired, having the maj
GRITTY in the chamber at his
back, the fall of Vaimis came
unexpectedly and it was be-
Eeved that the leader of the
majority had decided to accord
the premier sufficient support
to enable him to remain in Of
flee, for the present at least.
AS so often happens, how
ever, a vote Of confidence was
demanded by the government
on a matter of miner import
ance-some difference of op-
inion between M. Venizelos
and the minister of war, Gen
eral Yanakitsas, on military
proposals-and the govern
ment was defeated by a vote
of l47 to ia.
By handing the resignation
of his cabinet to King Con-
stantine M. Zaimis again plac-
es on the king the responsible
ity of deciding the future poll
cy of the country. In London
the first impression was that
the defeat of the government
would mean the immediate re-
call of NJ. Venizelos and the
ful6llment of the original ag-
reement between him and the
allied powers to go to the as
sistance of Serbia.

Odd Indian Fighter
Visits City
Old Warrior Visited the Gold
en- Valley in 1861 With
Sully's Brigade.

Minn., one of the soldiers of
Brackets regiment which in
1861 campaigned in this sec
ton, was in the city during the
week looking after his land in
terests in this section.
This is Mr.. Simpsons first
visit in four years. During
four years time, the change
that the Golden Valley has
undergone is remarkable,
said Mr.. Simpson, while COM
anerting upon the progress
made in this section during the
past few years. when | first
saw this section of the coun-
try" related the old Indian
veteran, it was the widest
country of all the sections
through which General Sullys
brigade, to which | belonged,
journeyed. Upon our arrival
in the slope country we were
met by a large band of Indians
and were engaged in battle in
the Killdeer mountains. The
number of Indians was great
enough that had we been fried,
there would have been hardly
enough for a good portion for
each. They were not armed
as we were. A few had old
flint lock muskets and the 9TH
ers their bows and arrows. In
spite of that handicap they
gave our two brigades, which
numbered $500 strong, a hard
battle. The battle in the
mountains lasted all day until
it was too dark to shoot. The
morning following the Indians
were ahead of us harassing us
continually, while in the even
ing we were ahead and to the
right and left Of them. They
were very good fighters when
they had shelter but taken in
the open they seemed to lose
courage. A weeks journey,
accompanied by 800 emmi-
grant wagons which were on
>their way to Idaho, brought
us to Flat Top butte, where
we were again forced to give
battle. On our way to this
section we passed thousands
of buffalo, which shortly after
through the carelessness of the
Grant administration were al
lowed to be destroyed by for
eign lluntsman who came with
no other purpose than to hunt
the wild buffalo.
The engagement at Flat
. Butte lasted but a few hours.
Our brigade only took part.
Following this engagement
we pushed the Indians to
Beaver Creek, where they left
us, this point being the bound
ary line of what the Sioux
termed their territory. After
the Sioux left us we met the
Blackfeet, and although they
were good fighters, did not
give us much trouble while on
our way to Fort Berthold and
Fort Union.
AT Fort Berthold there
i, was a French trading post, for
at that time the French laid
claim to this territory. 1t is
Thought that the Indians Sc
cured their arms from the fur
traders at this point
Mr.. Simpsons s brigade, after
making the campaign and re-
manning in this section for
some time, returned in
1866 to Fort Smelling, where
his regiment was mustered out.
During his time as a soldier,
MIR. Simpson kept complete
diary of all the incidents
which took place and the
places which he visited. A
short time ago this diary was
rendered the N. D. State His
torical Society and contained
some very valuable data ra-

Startling Becoming a Pest.

The English starting. introduced In
10 this country some time ago. is in
creasing in numbers in a manner
which puts the far-famed sparrow TO
the rear In the race. and II is claimed
by some that the starting will soon be
a greater pest than the sparrow. When
the starting first came TO US as a
stranger he seemed to have some sem
blance Of song or a melodious whis-
tie, but around the cities where he
preferably makes his habitation this
whistle is rarely heard. the ordinary
note or conversation OF the bird
among his fellows being a sharp rasp-
ing sound. like the click OF a fishing
reel Il order to determine the status
OF the startling the government is con-
Quoting a number Of experiments and
examinations Of the contents of the
birds stOmachs to determine whether
the bird is truly insectivorous or sim
ply a scavenger Of the English spar
row type. One thing contended for by
some persons on behalf of the startling
is that where he appears the sparrow
Is becoming a tree bird.

Why Dickens Is Beloved.

One OF the things that makes
Charles Dickens novels precious to us
IL that tire taste and likirg for his
work is one that we can share with
almost everybody.
A cultivated taste, in literature or
any other form of art, tends to isolate
us more and more from the mass OF
our fellow men. Il is impossible that
IL should be otherwise.
But there are some things which the
mind does not drop in the course OF
its progress. and for those OF US who
we're brought up on his books the
taste for Dickens is one OF these
things.
One by one, other idols Of our youth
depart, but he remains-not too great,
like Shakespeare, to be our intimate
friend and companion, but Offering US
always a lonely and satisfying enter
tainment wherever the travelling thea
ter may be set up.

This Cat Knew a Thing or Two.

MS Sat NncW q lntn1 or TWO.
A writer in the Spectator, London,
tells this interesting story OF a cat
who learned 70 know her way about
and evidently had a curious power Of
sensing danger Of any sort:
when we were in the trenches In
the front line a black cat came up
from the support trench Il had seen
her there previously and wandered
about in ard among US. And the most
extraordinary thing was that during
the day she only wandered about be-
low the parapet: II would have been
fatal for her to have appeared above
Il. as II would have been for any man.
for we we're using periscopes by day.
We'll. directly II got dark and we
we're able TO look over and fire. she
would make no bones about running
along the very top. where all day she
never attempted TO go. apparently be-
cause Of the danger Of being shot.
This struck US as being very interest
ing. ! think the old cat knew quite
3 lot about what was going on. She
disappeared from our group. no one
seemed TO know where. but I dare
say she still roams about somewhere
In the trenches"

A few minutes later John Sweezy

stein party and the injured man TO a
doctors office. There Fuschius died
In a few minutes Of a fractured skull.
After word OF the death had been
telephoned to Mrs. Fuschius, she said
she had had a dream in which II ap-
peared TO her that her husband was
killed. She said she had stayed up
late worrying because Of her hus-
bands failure to return early in the
evening. and after she went TO bed
remained awake, troubled for some
time. When she fell asleep she said
her fears shaped her dreams, and
after imagining her husband repeat
edly in danger she saw him dead a
second before she was startled from
her sleep by the telephone bell.

This is what one college president
said in his address recently:
With the multiplicity OF subjects
II is only to be expected that some
anxiety may be felt as to the results
from present-day methods OF teach
ing. ! must confess there is some
need for this suggestion OF anxiety;
perhaps the pendulum has swung too
far, or we may not have discovered
the correct scientific method OF deal
ing with the subjects taught in the
elementary school. feel convinced
that training is not receiving its fair
share Of attention. There was much
wastage Of time in the past. but the
old-fashioned grinding was no. with
