Investigated;
Victim Recovering

/ VI 'iiS oiioOtiilS d1lldy
IN which Lawrence Hungry, an
Indian boy II years of age was
seriously wounded early Thurs
day morning of last week. have
been gradually coming to light
after numerous Investigations
and hearings.
The wounded boy, it is report
ed mot from the hospitaD is re.
covering satisfactorily, and is ap
parently out of danger if no com
plications set in. He was hit by
bullet, according to the testimony
at some of the hearings, in the
back below the left shoulder, the
missile passing through his body
and coming out on the right side
below the chest. 1t is unofficially
reported that the boy is now suf,
! fering with collapsed lung, and
that one rib was Clipped.
| The first formal hearing was
held at meeting of the city
council Thursday night, with the
County Attorney and Sheriff
present and conducting the in.
CURRY. The evidence is reported
to have shown that Night Police.
man Long had been attracted to
the scene of disturbance that
had been in progress for some
time around the IIanneman Va.
riety store and in the alley and
around the buildings to the west.
When the policeman arrived he
attempted to qucll the disturb,
ance, but was having little sue,
cess, and fired his revolver into
the air, he is reported to have ties,
titled. The party of jewellers dis,
perSed after the shot was fired,
and it was not until some time
later that il was diScoN cred that
the Hungry boy had been wound,
ed. He had made his way across
the street. and was found a little
later and taken to the hospital
Officer Long is said to have
testified that he shot high against
tie Hanneman building and if the
I boy was hit by the bullet from his
gun it would have TO have
glanced. or ricochctcd, from the
building and struck the boy
The investigating officers were
apparently convinced that the Of
ficer'S version of the occurrence
was a true statement Of the facts,
and no further action was taken.
However, the affair had caused SO
much talk and adverse comment
that Policeman Long rendered his
resignation to take effect inmed-
lately.
No announcement has been
made as to the appointment to
the vacancy on the Town police
force.
One repercusSiun from the I'M
fortunate affair has been the
presence in town for several days
of an attorney from Poison. who,
it S rumored, represents the par
ents of the wounded boy, and who
has been seeking evidence upon
which he might base an action
against the policcman's bonds,
men, and possibly the Town OF
Browning.

yearllng steers ana steer caves.
Using the sliding scale and figur-
ing the average selling price this
year at S16.75 per 100 pounds,
the price of S7.20 for ten month
permit period was arrived at.
Thus each year the average sell
ing price per hundredweight of
yearling steers and steer calves
would be determined and the
grazing price per acre for the fol,
lowing year determined on the
same basis.
4. The number of years for
which all grazing privileges are
authorized shall be set at two
years and ten months, beginning
May l, 1854, and ending February
%, 1857. Formerly all grazing
leases terminated on April 30 of
each year, but it was thought by
some members of the Council
that if arrangements could be
made whereby members of the
Tribe could receive their lease
income earlier in the year it
might eliminate the need of some
of them for welfare assistance
and provide funds during a nor
mally slack season for their sub
SiStance.
5. Bona-fide Indian livestock
operators shall be given the priv
ilege of meeting the high bid on
ranges for which they compete.
In this respect, it was brought out
that the Indian Bureau had ruled
that in order to qualify as bona
fide Indian livestock operator,
the Indian must own at least rs
per cent. of the stock he intended
to Craze on the unit for which he
applied. Thus, if the carrying ca
pacity of a range unit was found
to be 200 head of cattle, the In
dian wishing to exercise this pref
erential right in meeting the high
bid of nOn-membcr of the tribe
must furnish evidence that he
owns at least $50 head of cattle,
or the acreage requirement equiv
alent. in order to qualify for the
awarding of the lease.
6. The previous permittee shall
)e granted the privilege of meet
ing the high bid on each unit, pro-
vided he submits an acceptable
bid on the unit as a result of the
advertisement, and provided fur
Their that their occupancy of the
range during the current permit
period has been satisfactory.
This previous permitee prefer
cnce applies to both members
and non-members of the Tribe.
Indian preference as authorized
in Sec. 5 as described above, shall
take precedence over previous
permitee preference Thus, an
Indian qualifying as bona-fide
stockman as outlined in 5 above
would have the right to meet the
high bid on unit and his right to
meet the high bid would super
sede the right Of the previous per-
mittee to meet the high bid, if the
previous permittee were non
member, unless the permittee is
an Indian. in which case such In
dian permittee shall have the ex-
elusive right of meeting the high
bid. If the previous permittee is

Grazing Lease Changes Considered

TWO meetings were held recent
ly by the Blackfeet Tribal Coun.
Gil and the Forestry department
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
represented by the local forester,
Mr.. Stephenson, and the regional
forester, Mr.. Carter, of Billings
to discuss terms and conditions
under which trust lands on the
Blackfeet Indian reservat o n
would be leased at the expiration
of the present lease term which
ends April 80, 1854. Practically
all lands on the reservation own
ed by Individual Indians or by the
Blackfeet tribe are divided into
grazing units which are either al.
located for lease to members of
the Blackfeet tribe wishing to
Craze CSC! head of cattle, and 1850
head of sheep, or sold for lease
to the highest bidder after all
lands required for grazing of In,
dian owned livestock are allocat,
ed as stated.
The Indian Bureau, through
the two officials mentioned, sub.
mitted proposed regulations in
resolution form for consideration
of the Council. Principal points
of tentative agreements and their
effects on leasing of trust lands
on the reservation are as follows:
/. Families of the Blackfeet
tribe who wish to Craze not to eX-
coed $50 head of cattle or 1850
head of sheep, or combined
equivalent thereof in these pro
portions, and who have filed with
the superintendent of the Black
feet Indian reservation an appli-
cation shall be allocated range
necessary for such livestock at
the rate provided. In order for
family to obtain allOcated leases
an application must be filed with
the superintendent in time to ar
range for the lease. 1t was agreed
that although SEPTEMBER Is of this
year had been set as the dead
line, applications would still be
received for lease ALLEGATION until
further notice. Rental on allo-
Gated leases is fixed at the mini
mum rate.
2. Each range unit exclusive of
those allocated shall be advcr.
tised for either sheep or cattle.
3 The minimum rate for tribal
land shall be II cents per head
per month for cattle, and 13 cents
per head per month for sheep. 1t
is further recommended that a
sliding scale. of grazing fees be
adopted which will provide an an
nual adjustment of the grazing
fees based on the market price of
livestock. The floor, or mini.
mum of the grazing fees cannot
go shall be S1.15 per acre for
both tribal and allocated land.
A sliding scale has been devised
based on the years 1886 to 1889
inclusive which sets the base for
determination as the ratio of the
price Of lease per acre during
these years to the average selling
price of steer calves and yearling
steers. On this basis it was found
that the price per acre of leases
of trust lands on the reservation
represented43 per cent of the av.
erage selling price per cwt. of

Garter Oil Bid
Is Accepted;
Interest Grows

Carter Oil Company was high
bidder at the big lease sale held
here Tuesday afternoon, TAX
ing the entire block of 1114.15
acres of oil and gas leases offered
by the Blackfeet Indian Agency
on lands in close proximity to the
Canadian wells that have found
big production just across the
border, bidding $31, 1852 20 for the
solid block.
The sale attracted large num-
Der of prospective buyers and
others interested in oil develop
ment in this area 20 the Agency
barracks, where the sale was
held. The Carter bid approximate
ed S26.89 per acre for the entire
acreage, which carried a stipula-
ton that at least one we'll is to
be drilled within one year to the
Devonian formation unless COM
mercial production is found at a
lesser depth. Bids were opened
by VIM. Peden, of the U. S. A.
Geological department, from
Great Falls.
Other bidders included the I'm
ion Oil Company, whose repre-
sentative bid S2562 per acre for
the lease block, and C. R. Nc
Shane who bid S1.3l per acre for
the leases.
The lands leased are in Sec
tons 10, 10, 90 and 80, in Twp.
81 N, Range 8 West, M. P. M.
The high prices paid for these
leases indicates the growing in
terest in production possibilities
in the northern part of this coun-
ty, and probably means the start
of an extensive drilling campaign
next year to determine the pos
sibilities of big production at low
er depths than have ever been ex-
plored before along the mountain
front in western Glacier county.
The sale of leases on allocated
lands held by members of the
Blackfeet Tribe, most of which
was in the same general area as
the lands taken by the Carter
Company, did not bring such
high prices, but much better
than had been offered previous
to the development of the good
wells across the border on the
Canadian side. These leases
were offered in smaller tracts,
and did not carry any drilling
commitments
One tract of 2O2 acres in Sec
tions 4. and Is of Twp 81. N,
R. 9 W, was bid in at S1410 per
acre by the Ojai Oil Company of
Los Angeles. The land belonged
to Joseph Wolf Chief Another
tract of 322 acres, belonging to
Joseph Mountain Chief went to
the Ohio Oil Company on high
: bid of $1,000 per acre.
The Ojai Oil Company of Los
Angeles also took another small
tract of 40 acres belonging to
George Van Sender at S20.6,t per
acre Bids OH other tracts of the
allocated lands were in lesser
amounts, and were mostly reject

Two Doctors Differ
On Mental Status Of
Stewart in Shooting

Two psychiatrists today dis
agreed as to the mental condition
of Willie Lee Stewart at the
time he shot to death Harry w.
Honikman in the latter's grocery
March IL.
The psychiatriSts, DR.. E. Y.
Williams of Freedmens Hospital
and DR.. Elmer Klein, in private
practice here, testified at the
f1rst-degree murder tyial of
Stewart in the u. s. District
Court for the District of CO.
lumbia.
DR.. Williams declared that he
believed Stewart was manic
Oppressive" who acted under an
irresistible impulse when he fired
the fatal shot.
DR.. Williams said his con-
clusions were based mainly on
testimony of defense witnesses
as read to him by Defense At
torney Foster Wood in open
court. The testimony concerned
violent acts committed by the
defendant from early childhood.
DR.. Klein, called as a rebuttal
witness by Prosecutor Frederick
Smithson. said he examined
Stewart for a little more than
an hour. On the basis of his
examination, he said he could
find no signs of Stewards being
a manic Oppressive.
The physician declared he did
not believe that Stewart acted
under an irresistible impulse and
that in his opinion, the defend
ant knew right from wrong and
was capable of doing right.
Yesterday Mr.. Wood produced
records showing that Stewart
was dishonorably discharged
from the Army after a re-
enlistment. Stewart, who is
colored. previously had been
honorably discharged after COM
pleClng a former enlistment.
The dishonorable discharge
stemmed directly from his con-
viction by a general court-mar-
tial for assaulting a fellow SOL
dier.
At that time, an Army psy-
chologist listed Stewart as being
in feeble-minded range of in
telligence and stated that he was
below the minimum standards
for induction.
The defense also produced a
number of witnesses who testi-
fed as to irrational conduct on
the part of the defendant.

Senate Committee
Rejects Plan 10 Raise
Tariff Membership
BY the Assoeioied Press

Democrats and Republicans on
the Senate Finance Committee
have teamed up to defeat a plan
to convert the United States
Tariff Commission into a Re-
publican-dominated agency.
The committee vote yesterday
was a victory for Democrats who
argued that the commission has
historically been bipartisan and
should remain so.
The vote rejected one of two
compromise provisions to which
the administration agreed in it's
effort to push through Congress
a one-year extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act. The commit
tee then sent the bill to the
Senate for expected passage,
probably next week.
Act Expired June IL.
President Eisenhower had
asked for a straight one-year
extension of the present act,
which expired June IL. But
when the House Ways and
Means Committee seemed bent
on writing sharp new restrictions
into the extension, a compro-
mise was worked out.
The bill, as passed by the
House. would have increased the
Tariff Commissions membership
from six to seven-in effect add
ing a fourth Republican men,
ber-and reduced from one year
to nine months the time in
which the commission must act
on petitions for emergency re-
lief from industries which feel
they are hurt by lowered tariffs.
IL to 5 Vote Reported.
The Senate Committee re-
portedly voted. IL to 3, to reject
the proposal for a seven-mem-
Der commission. Chairman Mil
likin declined to announce the
vote, but said the margin was
heavy"
Instead. it adopted an amend
ment by Senator George, Demo-
crat of Georgia, to require that
the commission report to the
President on all tariff cases it
studies, even though a tie vote
prevents formal recommended
ton. The commission merely
advises the President, who has
authority to override any find
ing it makes.

The first decade of the foun-
dation'S work, starting in 1888,
laid the research groundwork for
future progress, he said.
Mr.. O'Connor asserted the re-
search revealed three types of
virus which science must fight,
and that it now was possible to
grow the virus in sufficient guam
titles for vaccine purposes.
Polio cases this year, he said,
are presently running about 30
per cent ahead of the number of
cases at the comparative time
last year.
