Increase of 1872 Per Cent
Over Year Ago Shown
in First Quarter.
NUMBER OF BORROWERS
MORE THAN DOUBLED
Demand Chiefly for Modernization
of Dwellings, U. S. League
Reports Indicate.
BY F. A. RESCH,
Associated Press STAFF Writer,

CHICAGO. May 5.-A sharp up
ward swing in the dollar volume OF
mortgage loans for repairing. lemod-
cling and building houses is indicated
by reports to the United States Build
ing and Loan League.
Figures covering the first quarter
of 1894 from building and loan asso-
Citations in six States show an in
| crease of 1872 per cent over the same
period Of 1888 in the dollar volume OF
loans in this category.
Compared with 1882 statistics from
the same group of associations. the
1884 figures represent an increase OF
81 Ter cent.
Borrowers Increase
The number CT persons borrowing
Tor construction purposes during early
months of this year has been more
than double the number receiving
loans from the same sources in 1888
Judging from reports received thus
far, the increase has been about l39
per cent
The figures indicate that the
amount of the average loan this year
will be appreciably smaller than for
the last two years.
Apparently the chief demand for
credit in the construction field is from
those who want to repair and mod
ernize homes. rather than from those
wishing to build new houses" SAYS
the league report.
There are two likely reasons for
this: In the first place, the cost OF
construction has taken such a big
leap that families cannot generally
afford to buy new homes. while they
still can see their way clear 10 take
on a comparatively small obligation
for repairing or moderniZing. The
average construction loan was S2.745
in the first quarter of 1892, and is
81 800 in 1884.
Existing Vacancies Cited.
Secondly the existing vacancies
are still marked enough to cause the
thoughtful family to hesitate about
building house.
Reports from various States as to
percentage of their new loans going
into construction are another revela-
ton. This percentage is IA times
greater this year than last in the case
Of Cne State. which stands in the
upper half of the list in building and
loan resources.
Many others show the percentage
Of new construction loans to total
loans doubled. when compared with
last year performance.
These statistics are evidence Of a
normally developing demand for rem
ovating and for some new building"

Here we expected to find the outlaws,
and did. The four of us left Fort Ben
ton about midnight and made our plans
to reach the Indian camp at daybreak.
We got there in due time, and found
the camp at the upper end Of the river
bottom, skirted by timber. We rode
into the timber back of the camp. Here
we tied Dur horses, and listened to- our
instructions from the sheriff. The Or
ders were to,shoot any Indian who tried
to get away. He added, Dead Indians
are much easier. to get along with than
live Indians
We found the, camp very quiet, ex-
cept for the barking of the wolf dogs.
1t is their custom to bark near day.
break, and the racket did not seem to
disturb the camp. All the lodges but
one were. small and old. This n was
fine and large, and had buffalo, deer
and horses painted on it. We knew this
was the lodge the young bucks occupied,
and we approached it cautiously. The
sheriff motioned for me to. raise the
flap or door of the lodge, while the
other three with. Winchesters ready for
business awaited the outcome.
I reached over with the muzzle of my
gun and turned the flap back. By
careful scrutiny we could make out
three occupants of the lodge, and two
of them were the men w wanted. They
had apparently been up late that night
for there was still a smoldering fire in
the middle Of the lodge, and its &C..
cupants were sound asleep.
The sheriff and I ventured in, while
the other two stood watching at the
door. I first removed the gun from
Antelope-Shirt's side and handed it to
McFall at the door. The Indians were
suddenly awake, and found themselves
looking into the business ends of four
Winchesters. Antelope-Sh was the
first to spring to his feet. He tried to.
draw a six-gun which he had on him.
The sheriff stuck his rifle in the In
dams face, and up went his hands. We
handcuffed the two we wanted, and
made them walk ahead of us to Fort
Benton. The Indians were given a legal
trial before Justice of the Peace Jacob
A. Kanouse.
With no evidence against him of
violence, the younger Indian was given
his freedom, but If I remember right,
Antelope-Shirt drew a term of 10 years
in the pen. This was the first legal
proceeding against lawless Indians in
Chouteau county, I believe, and in this
arrest and conviction I feel that I am
identified with the first men to bring
lawless Indians to legal courts for legal
trial in Chouteau county. The old way
of settling Indian troubles was with
powder and lead.
I mention these two Indians because
they played q part in another incident.
One day in April, Ed Caldwell, our near
neighbor, had been away from the
ranch with his team and blackboard.

u. s. STILL BUYING
MONTANA STOCK
PROCESSING PLANTS HAVE BEEN
WORKING TO CAPACITY; PRO-
GRAM EXPLAINED

(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
1t will be about August rs before
the federal governments cattle: buy
ing activities will take care of the
bulk of distressed stock in eastern
Montana, says J. C. Taylor, director,
Montana Extension service. As quick
ly as possible buying will then be
started in other emergency drouth
areas.
The big reason why the cattle buy
ing program has not been extended
more rapidly is because processing
plants have been worked to capacity.
Appraisal of cattle was going forward
at the rate of about $500 head daily
in southeastern Montana the middle of
August and more than lao, 900 head had
been appraised. r..
The federal program is essentially
a relief program, Taylor points out. For
this reason and limitations caused by
lack Of processing facilities, it has been
necessary to concentrate the buying in
the very worst areas where shortage
Of both water and feed made action
imperative.
Under these conditions Taylor urges
that counties consider every angle Of
the situation before requesting to be
named an emergency drouth area. Buy
ing cannot start Immediately in new
areas unless conditions are distressing.
Once the program is started it means
that the county electing it will have
its cattle numbers materially reduced.
This may not be desired.
When a county is designated an
emergency drouth are the federal gov
eminent will buy cattle, will loan money
for feed and seed; develop water for
stock and allow reduced. freight rates
for feed and moving stock. In second
airy counties the government does not
buy cattle nor loan money for the pur-
chase Of feed. It does provide for re-
duced freight rates, loans money for
seed and will develop water, Taylor ex-
plains. - :*T

less body in the rig. John Galbraith,
a neighbor above his place, noticed the
team circling around the cabin, and
went over to investigate. He found our
old friend and neighbor had been shot
in the breast, then stabbed several
times. Eds pockets had been ransack-
ed, and it looked. very much like In
dian work.
Soon a number of men had gathered
at the Caldwell cabin, and after plac-
ing the body inside the house, the men
followed the tracks of the blackboard.
Three. miles down. the river the men
picked up Blackfeather, and after ques-
tioning him decided he should be held
for further investigation. A little far
ther w found the scene of the tragedy.
We could see where the team had been
running, where it had been stopped by
a horseman. We found moccasin
tracks. Blackfeather's foot fitted the
tracks. The Indians reputation was
bad, SO we considered the evidence con-
elusive.
I am not going into details of what
we did on that spot. But I am going
on, to show how such awful affairs
sometimes work out.
Close to this place there lived a
Frenchman, known by the name of
"Froggy." No n knew how he made
his living other than by hunting. That
summer Froggy got very sick and
thought he was going to die. Once
more the adage was proved, that mur-
der will come out.
Froggy told the persons nursing him
that he had shot Caldwell, and after
wards finished him with a knife. He
thought Caldwell had money, and he
wanted it.
If Froggy hadn't told this, he might
have lived. AS it was, his remains Don
lay close to the spot where he commit
ted his dastardly crime.
Caldwell came from a wealthy Can
adam family. He always had money,
and wa liberal among his friends. He
sleeps on the ranch which was his
cherished interest during his life.
Blackfeather gave his life for a crime
he did not commit. I hope his spirit
is in the Happy Hunting Ground.
Editorial Note: Jacob A.. Kanouse,
whom Mr.. Wilkins mentions, was a nat
i've of New Jersey, born 1914. He was a
graduate OF Yale college, studied law,
and practiced in Patterson, N. j. He
Joined the California '49ers, mining and
freighting, and in 1868 reached Helena.
Three years later he was practicing law
in Fort Benton. He held many public
offices, at one time had a heavy law
practice, and acquired substantial hold
ings in mines and ranches. He died in
Fort Benton in 1884, survived by his
widow and five children, two of them
by q previous marriage.

this. He showed a siX-shooter against

GRACE STONE COATES il.
Author Of 'Black Cherries,'' "Portulacas in
the Wheat" and Mead and Mansel Wurzel."
By the spring of 1881 many people
had settled on the Teton and Marias
rivers, most of them in the stock bus
mess. Various tribes of Indians who
held this territory for their main
hunting grounds resented this settle
ment. They claimed the land, and
maintained that the Great Spirit had
given them all the buffalo. deer, an
telope and beaver that this region
contained. But as the country set
tied up, and white men killed off the
game, Indians we're induced to go to
reservations prepared for them, and
the government issued them such an
nuities as were necessary for their
livelihood.
At and around the agencies the gov
eminent built cabins for the Indians
but at first these cabins were seldom
occupied. Indians used the cabins for
