 turn to U, s. Without Arrest

White Plains N. Y, Aug. 14. - Although Phillip Elliott and Rich ard Thorne have won their fight against extradition from Canada on charges of assaulting Violet Ander- son. actress they can never return to the United States without facing prosecution, it was said here today by an official, who. would not per init use of his name.
 District Attorney Rowland said he had received word from the Staff Department in Washington that the men could not be extra dited for the charges on which they have been indicted He said he would drop the extradition pro- ceedings at once.
 What is there to do?" he asked.
 "As far as I am concerned the men can be turned free by the Montreal officials I am all through until they step foot in the United states"
 The men were arrested in Mon treal six weeks ago soon after Miss Anderson complained here that they had taken her to dinner and later on an automobile ride to Harrison. There, she charged, they dragged her from the car and beat her for an hour with sticks and stones. ....

the affair, as told to friends several
years ago, constitutes an interesting
historical narrative.
A dozen or more Americans were
involved in the incident, which oc-
Cured in the summer of 1873 in
that range Of lOw-lying hills along
Canadian border just north of north
central Montana. It was two years
later that five of these men were
brought to trial on an extraditiOn
proceeding at Helena, an effort being
made at this time to have them extra
dited and taken to Canada for trial
before the Mounted Police. At about
the same time three others were ar
rested in Canada and were tried in
Winnipeg charged with murder. The
extraditiOn proceedings at Helena
failed and the prisoners were releas-
ed amid a wild celebration at the
| capital. The three tried at Winni-
peg were subsequently acquitted be-
cause of the fact that their fellows in
/ Montana had been freed.
These three men who were tried
at Helena were Tom Hardwick, pre-
viOusly a Montana sheriff; Trevan-
ion Hale, and John H. Evans. The
three who were ~apprehended in Can
ada and tried at Winnipeg Bell,

headed the party which attended the

the federal district attorney at Hell

men. Consequently, Colonel Mac

article show that neither the whites
nor the Indians exercised any mOnOp-
oily on brutality in those turbulent
seventies. On the other hand, in
the case Of the massacre Of Heavy
Runners camp and the Cypress Hills
affair, it would seem that the whites
had a considerable margin in their
favor so far as wholesale murder
was concerned.
Perhaps there has been no such in
cident in history in which there was
such a variance of testimony offered
as there was in connection with this
incident at Cypress Hills. The wit
nesses who were not in any way in
vOlved, according to Colonel Stan
fOrd's narrative, told a hOrrifying
story of the killing of these Indians.
These statements were denied by the
men who were arrested as alleged
murderers and sWOre that they had
been attacked by the Indians and act
ed merely in self-defense.
The details leading up to the slay-
ing Of the Indians, as told by Colon
ell Stanford, were as follows:

It was the life accomplishment of
the late Colonel Stanford to gain a
foremost position in business enter
prise in Northern Montana. He was
one of the settlers in the domain of
the Piegans when these tribesmen
and military posts and trading es-
adjustments were by far the more
important industrial and commercial
features of the Upper Missouri
country. He was trained in that pi-
Oneer school, and from the crudities
Of early-day Montana, as the cOun-

position among Treasure state citi-

In the spring of 1875, but a few
months following the original organ

Mounted Police, a recruit was sent
westward with 81 bundles of uni
forms and other supplies from Otta-

Cree camp. The Indians, Lcari4r re

were shot down as fast as Chey ap-
peared. Neither women nor children
were spared, and the witnesses stat
ed the slaughter was sickening. There
were 40 lodges containing nor than
200 Indians, and it was said that
only a mere handful escaped. AS the
number Of Indians decreased, the
white men closed in on them at short
range and finished off those who
were lef; and the wounded.
The testimony at the Helena hear
ing Tds to the effect that after the
chief, Little Mountain, had been
killed, his principal wife was out
raged and then shot and left for
dead. She recovered, however. The
head of the chief, it was stated, was
hacked off and stuck on a pole in the
center of the camp.
The accused men told a different
story Of the affair, stating that they
had pursued this band with a view
to recovering their horses, but that
the Indians had attacked them and
they acted merely in self-defense.
They admitted that they pursued
some of the Indians and shot them
down.
It was this Cypress Hills affair as
we'll as the establishment of Forts
StandOffe and WhOOp-Up which were
instrumental in establishing the Roy
al Mounted Police as a permanent
Iaw-enforcing organization in north

the Mounted Police in the late seven

the Conrad brothers in the banking
business, and was president of the
