Mrs. Valiton was TV years of age,^but was ^iuite active. She was out hunting^for her cow, and had wandered across the^river. Keturning to towu she attempted to^cross the railroad bridge. This was about^5 o'clock. The train from Butte, due here^at 4 o'clock, and which had been delayed^at Warm Springs bv an accident to its en^^gine, was just coming In. The train was^rapidly approaching the bridge while Mrs.^Valiton was crossing it. She tried to get^across before the engine got to her. and^waived her cane at it to stop. She had^itotten very near the end of the bridge,^when she fell between the ties. The en^^gineer saw her and d'd everything il bis^power to stop the train, but he was run^^ning a crippled engine and could not stop^it. The engine struck Mr- Valiton in rh-^stomach and almost cut her in two. Her^arms and less were mangled and her head^terribly bruised. When picked up her^bowels were protruding. Only a few min^^utes before Mrs Valiton had been advised^by a lady not to attempt to cross the rail^^road bridge as the trt.n was expected at^any moment, and she answered that she^Would not, as she was afraid of an engine;^but she had evidently changed her mind^and her eyesight being dim she probably^thought that there was no danger. Mrs.^Valiton is a French lady and the mother^of Peter Valiton, one of the most promi^^nent citizens of Doer Lodge, and of A. ^*.^Valiton, of Butte City. Both are here.^Mr. Peter Valiton was one of the^first men to reach the scene of the accident^and helped to convey his motber to her^residence. Acoroner's jury has been impaneled, b'lt^they have only viewed the body and visited^the place of death. The taking of testi^^mony will be commenced to-morrow morn^^ing as soon as the attendance of the rail^^road engineer and conductor is secured.^The greatest gloom pervades the town, as^Mrs. Valiton was highly respected and^greatly beloved. I.IKKTHK1R RATIONS. Theatuui at Rosebud \ot in a Hurry to^Couie to Term.. Koskbid Aoe.m v, June tt ^The Indi^^ans counselled all Tuesday night, and to^^day, at their request, (ien. Crook met with^them. They stated it was impossible for^them to make up their mi^ds as rapidly as^white people: they must have time tr con^sider among themselves. Gen. Crook told^them the commission fully appreciated all^these facts, but they could not remain here^indefinitely, lie went over the conditions^with them, and pointed out the benefits^which the act would confer; that 'f they ac^^cepted they would become self-supporting^and independent, with all the advantages^which would accrue from citizenship. Thedifficulty which at present confronts^the commission is that so long as the In^dians remain here they must be fed, and so^long as they are fed they will endeavor to^delay action. When the rations stop many^of them will return to their farms, which^are scattered ov^ r the reservation, some^distant mroe than one hundred miles.

Johnstown.June 6 ^A wall has been^thrown around Johnstown and nobody can^enter it unless he shows he baa butiness in^the city. The Pennsylvania railway has^been making every effort to keep out the^crowd, but the Baltimore ^ Ohio was^opened yesterday and brought in Hood suf^^ferers from the S mierset valley. When^den. Hastings beard of it he bad a confer^^ence with Scott, of the Pittsburg police,^and it was decided to send a company of^the Fourteenth regiment to Somerset for^the purpose of preventing any further rush^of people this way. A committee of citi^^zens accompanied the militia. They^will stop off at all stations along^the road and remonstrate with the^people against coming to Johnstown,^The crowds of curious ones are constantly-^growing, to the hindrance of the work of^removiug bodies and clearing away the^debris. On the Pennsylvania roadside the^gates are practically shut, and it is hoped^this move will have the same effect on the^Baltimore A Oeio. Tbere is but one bridge^across the Couemaugb, and nothing but a^pass from Adjutant-General Hastings or^Scott will carry one over it. Gloomsettles on Johnstown as the sun^goes down, the colored lanterns of the rail^^roaders being about the only relief to the^darkness, superintendent Duncan, of the^Allegheny County Light company, is still^here awaiting the arrival ot his engine and^d^ uamos, which have been blockaded in^the Pennsylvania freight yards west of^town. There are tons of supplies in this^blockade. Thestate board ot health and the Penn^^sylvania railway were to-day busy operat^^ing in the work of removing the bodies from^the debris above the stone bride. Dr.^Gross, of the health board, says there will^be a thousand men at work here tomorrow.^1 be sanitary question is the paramount^one of the hout. The state board of health^is looked on as a more potent^factor than the militia and the^civic forces. This afternoon the work of^ttie ooard was distributed, Dr. Lee taking^a rvlay to Pittsburg with the intention of^establishing headquarters in the city hail.^K force of sanitary inspectors will be^established, half of which go up the river^by boat aud the remainder take a con^^struction crew up the railroad. The latter^have adopted cremation as tb*-ir cry, and^to-morrow night the desolate valley will be^lit up with bontirea of wreckage, which^will be the pyre of hundreds of dead bodies.^Dr. Morrell, deputy chief of the state board^of health, said to-day: ^The point has^come in this horror when sentiment^must be laid aside. lo endanger^law lives of the living that the dead may be^identified is no longer justifiable. Besides,^the bodies are all past being embalmed,^and friends can scarcely recognize the fea^^tures any longer. Identification is possible^by clothing or jewelry on the persona^ Dr.^Goff, who is now in charge of the Johns^^town bureau of the state board of health^and the sanitary inspectors, said to an^Associated Press correspondent this after^^noon that there is no immediate danger of^an epidemic in Pittsburg. ^ The danger,^^said he, ^is that people will be scared into^being sick. We need thousands of men to^work on the debris and clear it of car^caasea. AnInspector just arrived from the Wood-^vale district i--ports great destitution,^rhere is nothing in town but Hour and^bran, and very little of that.^About boon to-day it was reported to ChiefGagehy, of the police committee.that^a body or aliened re.-cuers at the foot of Mainstreet were removing jewelry from^the bodies they carried away. Gageby^ordered a policeman to go and pretend to^superintend the work tor the purpose of^apprehending the thieves. Special police^had to be selected to prevent stealing from^the ebris back of the general hospital. Irerelief committee is to be n ttional in^its rcope, act.on to that effect being taken^at the meeting of the finance committee of^the local relief organization this afternoon.^The plan was proposed by parties high in^authority and has been given the official^santion of the finance committee by the^following resolution: ^The survivors of the^flood are now and must be for^some time wholly dependent upon^the issues to them of flood^and clothing. As there are no goods here^except those brought by the relief commit^^tee and no plac^ s In which commerce can^(^e carried on, the agencies for making such^distributions should receive consideration.^It is the unanimous opinion of this com^^mittee that another committee should be^appointed for this purpose, composed in^part of citizens of this locality and of mem^^bers appointed by the governors of states^or by chain tiers of commerce of cities from^which contributions have been received, or^in such other way as will give this agency^a national character, and aasure the coun^^try i hat its most generous charity will he^judiciously and fully applied to the relief^of the victims of our unprecedented cal^^amity. Upto to-day the committee has received^in aetwal cash contributions S2fi,79o.lrt.wlth^S57.ll.') 4.^^ promised in addition. The^greater part of this is represented by tele^^grams from a distance instructing the com^^mittee to itraw on certain banks. This is^an impossibility, as there are no banking^facilities left here. The committee hopes^that contributors will forward their money^by express. To-day J. D. Kobertg said^Philadelphia had promised 8300,000. which^is now at the disposal of the committee,^(i iv. Beaver has reported S100.00O at hand,^but has not made any move to send It, so^far as known. THE^ im RSE OF TRIE LOVE. RoachEiprritDcrofi MluouU Man Who^Eloped With a loiii| Girl. Bitte, June 6^[Special to the Inde^^pendent ]^This afternoon the district^court, sitting in chambers in Attorney^DeWitt's office, listened to an argument on^a writ of habeas corpus, which is of some^interest. Henry Richardson, a roung man^of Missoula, eloped with a lo-year-old girl^ot the same place, named Amanda Mitch^^ell. The young couple went down to De-^^met, on the Northern Pacific, six miles^from Missoula, and boarded the train, in^^tending to go to Helena and get married.^The irate father of the bride had dropped^to the little scheme, however, and was on^board the same train with Sheriff Hey^fron. of Missoula county. The girl was^promptly taken home and young Richard^^son thrown Into the bastile on a charge of^kidnapping and abduction. At a prelimin^^ary examination held before Judge J. F.^Case, Richardson was held in 5500 bail to^answer to the charge of kidnapping.^The young man's attorney thereupon ap^^plied to Judge DeWolfe for a writ of^habeas corpus, and all parties concerned^appeared before Judge DeWolfe this after^^noon.

About a month ago the men quar^^relled in regard to some point in their busi^^ness and dissolved partnership. They had^a lot of wood cut however, and did not^sell it until yesterday. The wood was^piled up in Telegraph gulcb about eleven^miles northwest af Butte, and the men sold^it yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, and^then proceeded to have a settlement They^then got into a dispute about the grub bill,^and quite a war of words ensued, which^was listened to by one or two of their^companions. They did not come to^blows, however, and both returni d to their^camp, situated about a half a mile from^where the quarrel took place- Here at^halt paet ^ o'clock the quarrel about the^9,-ttiement broke out afresh, and several^blows were exchanged. The men then^clinched and after a moment Healey fell^back on the ground with two knife thrusts^in the left groin. Realizing what he had^done, Fitzpatrick escaped to the hills The^struggle was witnessed by two wood chop^^pers, who carried Healey into his cabin at^ouce and drspatched a messenger for Dr.^Murray. That gentlt man at first sight^pronounced the wounds of llealey fatal.^The unfortunate man remained at bis cabin^over night and early this morning was re^^moved to this city. He was taken to^the Sisters' hospital about 10^o'clock where everything possible was^done to make his last moments easy. At^noon he died and shortly afterwards Dr.^Howard summoned a cononer's jury.

The members of the general griev^^ance committee addressing t'hief Arthur^said: ^A reduction of wages is expected to^be made before long on a number of west^^ern roads. Such action we do not prorxsse^to accept because we do not believe it jus^^tified. We therefore desire to know^whether in case of a reduction being or^^dered, despite our opposition, you would^sanction a strike. ChiefArthur did not like the ques^^tion but saw there was no help for it and^said: L'nderno condition or circumstances^of which I can conceive shall 1 ever sanc^^tion another strike.

Whya Raring Ktrnt Between Two Hankers^W 111 Not Take Place.^If there is one thing the average Helena^man of means enjoys more than another it^is a horse that goes^a trotting horse, and^probably in no other city in the union is^there to be found a finer lot of roadsters^than may be seen in Helena on almost any^pleasant evening. Each owner bas the^pedigree of bis steed down in black and^white and in many cases the certificate is^produced on sight whenever a dispute may^arise as to the royal lineage of the respec^^tive horses. Some of these pedigrees date^into ancient history. Agentleman prominently identified with^the money interests of Montana and an^^other banker own horses that with com^^petent drivers can skip a mile in three^minutes. At tbe present time neither of^the animals could step the distance In less^than four minutes, but their owners and^drivers are piwitive tbey can go it in two^minutes or a trifle less. A spirit of rivalry^as to tbe speed merits of these sons of no^^ble sires has evinced Itself of late.^Sunday evening tbe two gentlemen^rcidentally met on the oouleva'd^on the way home from the west side. 1 fie^bank president was in the lead and feigned^not to notice tbe other gentleman who was^close second. Both horses were urged,^however, and on tbey sped at a swift pace.^The one in tbe lead was gaining steadily^ben tbe other applied the lash. It was^neck and neck for half a mile, when the^leader was overhauled, his roadster break^ng oadly. Tbe other forged ahead and^was exultant when be reached town and^told bow he distanced his competitor by a^dozen lengths, while the latter insisted^that be slacked up not caring to drive fast^into the city, which they were both ap^^proaching. Tbe gentlemen met Tuesdav^and the winner offered to wager his horse^against the one distanced .that he could^beat his animal in a mile beat at^the fair grounds ^You could not^give me your nag as a gift^^retorted the gentleman. ^Then 1 wager^the cost ot your borse against that of^mine.^ said tbe other, but this was equally-^futile. Yesterday tbe winner wrote out^his check for sloo, and sent a messenger^with it to his rival, requesting that he^should cover the amount tor a mile race.^A prominent railroad man was aware^ot the proceedings, and was about to^give orders to have bis road extended to the^fair grounds for this occasion, knowing^the announcement that such a race would^take place would draw thousands to the^scene. Thechallenged person said he was a^banker and not a horse-racer, and the^prospective race was declared off. AGOOD ONE. ATicket Agent's *tory Aboat the Wizard^of Menlo Park. CincinnatiCommercial Gazette: Mr.^John A. Casaell, himself a Morse operator,^tells tbe following anecdote of Thomas^Alva Edison: In tbe year lVtf, when Edi^^son was employed as telegraph report^operator by the Western Union Telegraph^company, at Louisville, Ky., the following^incident occurred: The telegraph fra^^ternity of New York and Boston proposed^presenting a solid gold telegraph key to^the fastest operator in tbe world, and^Issued a challenge through the Telegrapher.^George Everett (now deceased), one of the^fastest as well as one of the best general^operators in the country, having the repu^tation of being tbe most perfect manipula^^tor of the key known, was working a cir^^cuit in Nashville. Tenn., and the Louis^^ville, Ky., operators were very desirous of^having him compete for the prize. One^day at noon a conference was held by wire^with tbe parties in New York, but they^would not consent to allow Everett to enter^for the prize, claiming their challenge to^the world only included the New England^states. While the arguments for and^against his being eligible were being made,^Edison was preparing a rich surprise for^the New York operators. He attached a^w ire to one corner of a metalic plate, used^In taking reports, and attached this wire^to one of the posts of the key,^and another wire to the lever^of the key. Then he perforated the^word ^Mississippi^ through a strip of^brown paper and placed it on tbe metal ic^sbeet opened tbe circuit and. by swiftly^drawing the lever wire across the platform^wrote the word ^Mississippi^ repeatedly,^perfect, and as rapidly as he couid draw^tbe wire across the paper. It was light^^ning sending, and surprise poorly ex^^presses the f^ elings of the New York op^^erators as they asked: ^Who in the h^lis^that^^ Tbe reply was: ^This is our man^Everett whom we want to enter for the^prize.
