At Charles Blackman's ranch, two

A delegation of Blackfoot Indians

A Columbia Fails sjiecial of the 2">th
says: The first freight for the Flathead

Saturday evening about <> o'clock
while Otto Bartels was working around
the machinery at the Union Smelter
company's works, at Great Falls, his
hand was caught in a revolving shaft
and his left arm was torn off about six
inches from the shoulder. Drs. Ladd
and Longeway were immediately sum
moned and Mr. Bartels was taken to the
hospital. He is a strong man and took
the acculent very coolly, and no fears of
his recovery are entertained. Mr. Bar
tels is chief engineer of the machinery
department at the smelter works.
A terrible storm raged on the 24th on

Independent: The many friends of
Edward B. Hogan are anxious to learn
of his whereabouts. He has not been
seen or heard of since last June and no
one can account for his disappearance.
Hogan came to Montana in 1802. He
owns a ranch and some stock near But
1er station, on the Northern Pacific, fif
teen miles from Helena. Hast June A.
Majors took him home from Scratch
Gravel. He remained at the ranch a
week or more and then disappeared, giv
ing no intimation of his intentions.
None of the neighbors have heard from
him and his stock is running at large.
The man who rented his ranch is ready
to pay the rent, but Hogan has made no
application for it.
The ball given at the Beulder Hot

and unmanageable and started to run
and jerked the driver, James Hank,
from his seat. He fell to the ground,
but held on to the lines and turned the
horses so that they run in a circle. The
big bus was too top heavy and finally
tipped over, precipitating the load of
human freight to the frozen ground.
That they were not killed is due wholly
to the efforts of the driver. Those most
seriously hurt are as follows: Frank
Harlow, knee cap knocked loose and
»»<» *•« »"'(

seriously bruised about the body and
, •» Vs • t r\ cn_ ^ ~ u

" ------Ed Mahoney,
eye badly hurt;
Mrs. A. Calvin, bruised alxnit the head
and shoulders; Prof. T. A. Brown, one
ear badly cut. None of the others were
seriously hurt, but all were more or less
bruised.
Just before midnight Friday night a
fatal accident took place on the Walker
ville cable line. William Cunningham
was killed, Dan McDonald critically in
jured, having his head cut and arm and
leg broken, and T. C. Cameron and three
Italians were more or less seriously in
jured. A runaway car was the cause of
the accident. The car was making the
last run for th« night back from Walk
erville. Those who boarded it at Walk
erville were told that the car would not
go to Butte, but only to the power house,
about half the distance. Fares of five
cents only were accordingly collected.
At the power house the grip was de
tached aud run into the power house,
while the car was left on the track out
side. Immediately below is a very steep
descent running down into Butte. It
seems the men did not get off the car,
either supposing that it was going on to
Butte or bound to run the car down
themselves. At any rate, while the con
ductor and gripman were in the power
house, the car started down the hill. It
went at lightning speed, and striking a
short curve half way down the hill
jumped the track. It plowed through
the ground a distance of seventy-five
feet, and was stopped by a pile of tim
ber at the Acquisition mine. The scene
inside the car was one of pandemonium.
The coroner's jury held the company
guiltless of responsibility for the acci
dent. The gripman says the crowd on
board was drunk and thinks one of them
must have tampered with the brake
after it had been set.
The election of officers of the State
Teachers' association, held at \\ ednes

vice president; Miss Carrie Cox of Butte,
third vice president; Miss Bettie R ley
of Missoula, secretary ; Ij. A. Ostein of
Miles City, treasurer, and S. A. Merritt
of Helena, member of t lie executivecom
mittee. Missoula was named as the
place of the next convention.
A fatal accident occurred Monday af
ternoon at the Elvina mine, situated
about two miles west of Walkerville
and owned by Rod Leggat. Michael
Blake, a stepson of the owner, was es
sisting in taking out the water column
from the shaft, the pump having got
out of order and was being taken to the
surface for repairs. Blake was standing
on a plank placed across the shaft at
the liiO-foot level, and as the water col
umn was being hoisted upwards one link
of it broke off, and falling down struck
and broke the plank on which the un
fortunate young man was standing. The
accident occurred so suddenly that he
was unable to catch any of the sur
rounding timbers for support and was
precipitated to the bottom <>f the shaft,
a distance of 1ÔÜ feet. Those standing
near and observers of the accident hur
ried to the surface, and procuring help
went down in the cage to the sump.
But when they arrived there they found
the remains of Blake mangled beyond all
human semblance.
Journal: Secretary of State Rotwitt
aud Attorney General Haskell returned
Wednesday evening from Missoula,
where they had been conducting an
auction sale of lots recently platted by
the state board of land commissioners in
the city limits of Missoula. The sale be
gan on Monday and was finished for the
time being on Wednesday. During
these three days. 12Û lots, 20x 1< K) feet in
size, were sold for 822,000. One-third
down was reqirred on each lot. and in
some cases JO per cent was paid, the to
tal cash receipts from the sale amount
ing to about 80,000. For the remainder
purchasers are required to give a penal
bond in seven annual payments. Six
blocks were sold, or rather six half
blocks, for one-half of each block must
be reserved until the year 1010 under the
statutes. These six blocks comprise
about ten acres of the entire section of
school land in Missoula, which »Secretary
Rotwitt says is one of the most valuable
sections of land anywhere. The pro
ceeds of these sales go to the state school
fund and is invested in state and county
bonds by the state treasurer, Only a
few days ago Treasurer Hickman in
vested 820,000 of school moneys in
Meagher county bonds. The state re
ceives fj per cent from the sale of such
lands, and the 617,000 received from
Washington a few days ago by Governor
Toole was the regular ö per cent accru
ing to the state from the sale of govern
ment and ceded land. The lots of Mis
soula range in value from slot) to 6800.
A number of the lots are improved, and
in such cases those who have occupied
the lots as homesteads purchased them
at the appraised value. Secretary Rot
witt says this section of land is worth
81,000,000. It lies just inside the city
limits, near the depot.

Lhe theater in Gateshead, county
Durham, England, was the scene of a
frightful panic Saturdav night, in which,
according to the reports received, at
least ten persons were killed outright
and many injured. The sight ofbi small
blaze, caused by a man in the audience
dropping a lighted match on the saw
dust covered Hour, caused someone to
start the cry of fire. Immediately there
was a wild scramble fur the doors which,
owing to the savage rush, became so
blocked that only a few succeeded in
getting out. The staircase leading from
the gallery also became blocked. A
cheek taker, who attempted to restrain
the crowd, was crushed to death under
foot. When the panic subsided the bod
ies of nine children, whose lives had
been literally crushed out, were found
lying on the staircase.

guard against accidents resulting from
his dangerous disposition. After hear
ing the evidence in the ease and listen^
ing to the attorneys', interpretation of
the legal points involved the judge fined

Washington dispatch, 28th:0Acting
Secretary Gould said today that lie re
garded the situation on the Mexican
frontier as serious, and the war depart
ment was exerting itself to prevent
further violations of the neutralitv laws
by Garcia's band of revolutionists. If
necessary to prevent these men crossing
backward and forward between Mexico
and the United States the entire mili
tary force under General Stanley s coin
mand will be distributed along the north
bank of the Rio Grande. It is said at
the war department that Garcia s move
ment is gaining in strength, notwith
standing the efforts of the United States
and Mexican troops to restrain it, inas
much as the Rio Grande is fordable
seven months in the year and the revo
lutionists have many friends on each
side of the river who keep them advised
promptly of every move of the govern
ment forces, the task before General
Stanley's troops of preventing them
from crossing is very ditVieult.

A new people's party for "independent
political action" has been formed at
Lansing, Michigan, by a federation of
all the industrial organizations in the
state. It was christened the "People's

intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The
rest of the platform'is a copy of the In
dianapolis people's party, except it
favors a per diem pension law.
A New York morning paper says that
the republicans of New York are holding
consultations relative to the recent con
tested election results in that state. It
says: "There was a meeting of the re
publican leaders of the state Wednesday
night. Those present were Senator His
cock and ex-Senators Platt and Warner
Miller, Collector Hendricks, Chauncey
M. Depew, chairman of. the republican
state committee. Col. George Bliss and
Joseph Ciioate as counsel. Just what
will be done none of the gentlemen pres
ent would say, but all
were unanimous
in saying that every legal means would
be exhausted before . a surrender was
made. The general opinion is that the
republican senators will refuse to join in
the organization of the senate until the
democrats are prepared to act fairly."
A Washington special says: There
are some facts that point strongly to
the probability of war. The war de
partaient is forwarding recruits in
squads of forty or fifty as rapidly as
possible to till tlie complement of regi
U1 ^ n ts in the west and on the Pacific
uoast. General Schofield said that
I'VkX* men are available to send out of
tbe country, but no more could be
s 1 »h red from the regular army. Gun
'''«fringes are being shipped to San
Francisco in sections and guns will
at an early date. General Scho
Geld has been twice summoned before
tbo cabinet and has given it as his
*'
opinion that if 10,000 men are sent out
of the country it will be quite jiossibls
to till their place in the regular army
at home by temporary enlistments from
the militia. A certain quota of regulars
will be equipped for actual service at
the army posts to lie called for from
each state. In case the 10,0(10 men to
be transported to Chili should not be
enough, it is reported the president
may call for 20,000 volunteers for a
year.
This is the way the Washington cor
respondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press
puts it: "By far the worse treated man
in the democratic house is William Wirt
Dixon of Montana. He is assigned to
two committees, the labor and arid
lands, one of no use whatever to his
state or his section. The committee on
labor has little or nothing to do and outs
no figure whatever in tiie doings of con
gress. and the arid lands committee will
be allowed to do nothing. In the last
congress Carter, "the republican repre
sentative of Montana, was made chair
man of mines and mining and a member
of coinage and postoffices and (Hist roads,
three committees of great importance to
his state, and which he worked to good
advantage for his people. The speaker
could not have done worse if lie had total
ly ignored Mr. Dixon; in fact, he would
have called attention to him by such an
act. The Montana democrats are not in
favor with the southern democrats, as is
shown by the committee assignments to
the men who voted for Mills." „ _
