HINGING TWO KOOTENAIS. How the Outraged Settlers of Flathead Valley Meted Out Justice to Indian Murderers. A resident of the Flathead coun- try tell the Missoulian the following particulars of the recent Indian lynching in that locality: The plans of the settlers to capture the three Kootenai Indians who murdered three prospectors on Wolf creek in June or July last were well laidout. Be- tween forty-five and fifty of them gathered at Dernersville early in the morning and proceded in a body to the Indian lodges, iocated between one and twc.1 milsa hilnw tc.ursx. T64. lodges were searched while the In- dians were still sleeping soundly. One lodge after another was searched, and guards left to p.event an outcry or voice of warningi until the lodge where two of the murderers were steeping was found. The names of these two Kootenais were John Ninna and Slume. They were for- cibly taken by the sbttlers, who were well armed arid determined to carry out their plans at all hazards. The name of the third murderer was Antley. Antlly was not there; he was in Smith's valley several miles distant. As soon as the settlers left with their prisoners an Indian jumped upon the fleetest horse in the camp and dashed wildly away to Smith's valley. He went to warn Antley of the danger, and his mission was suc- cessful. The fugitive was notified and he fled in haste, probably toward the British possessions. It is stated that the settlers of Smith's valley had promised to arrest Antley, but they failed to do so, and he is proba- bly forever safe from the reach of the vengeance of t!.,. people of Flat- head Lake. Ninna and Slurne were taken to Demersville. A hasty cotilultation was had, when the two murderers were hastened to the river bank, a skiff was procured, the savages were rowed across the river never to re- turn. The settlers acted cautiously, quietly, but determinedly. They re- solved to hang the two Indians, in- stead of turning them over to the law and its uncertain results The murderers were informed that they were going to be hung, and one of them defiantly retorted, \Hi yu Skookum,\ which means powerful good. It is said they -made no at- tempt to conceal the murder of the prospectors, but even bragged of their savage instinct and of making the white man's flesh smoke and quiver in the flames. They were taken into the woods lining the east bank of the Flathead river at that place, ropes fastened about their necks and they were swung up to the limb of a tree. A short time afterward the bodies were cut down and buried. WE have added severe). htindred dollar's worth of bew mateTrial to our office, enlarged the paper, and think we can say without contradiction that the SENTINEL Will compare favora- bly with any weekly in Montana. Of course it takes money to do this; and we hope delinquents will act accord- ingly. JEFFERSON CO. COR RESPONDENCE. A Bleb Output on the Court House Question From the Various Dis- tricts by Gifted Contributors —The Sentinel's Course Commended. BASIN BULLION. Every manly, patriotic and con- cientious American citizen will re- joice in the stand the SENTINEL has taken in defense of American labor and laborers. May God enlighten your mind and strengthen your heart to see and advocate the right, is the wish of the writer and of democrats and republicans alike to whom he has spoken, and all of whom are loud in their praises of your journal. The Boulder Chief will at an early day be shipping bullion, not by the bar, but by the \barrel full,\ as near as I can understand. From all ac- counts the following claims will dish some bullion in the near future, namely: The Fortune, Evening Star, Chicago, Silver Butte, Hope, Ala- meda,Speculator,Argonaut,Washing- ton, Mary, Thompson, Yankee Doo- dle, Black Diamond, Hiawatha and numerous other claims in the Cata- ract district tributary to Basin, owned by Messrs. Madden, ' 4 \ -Ryan, Kinna, Goff, Hill, Dougherty, Harris, Moles, Rowell, Rodgers, Morgan, Murray,. Morrow, Brisc 30, Harris &DoUghertv, O'Donnell, O'Neill, O'Connell, Thompson, Smith, Gamer, Miller, Shaw, Hinselwood and a number of persons whose names I do not know. The county commissioners deserve credit for their action in re the court- house, and the people should testify at the polls on the 21st inst. that they are determined to have done with leased property once and forever. Jefferson county has been long enough a much cow for such \suckers\ (?) as the Holters; or rather we are the \suckers\ not to own our own public buildings. The new building should be rendered fire -proof for the pro- tection of county records, etc. I would em A - c e.ot, that the nasementrwgrouna floor of the new court house be used as a county jail, like Walla Walla and Portland, Oregon. All those whom I have spoken to are in favor of Jef- ferson county owning its own court house. I think Basin will show by her votes on election day that no petty jealousy of our near and dear sister city, Boulder, exists on this important matter. ALIIA3I BRA AMULETS. This is a great health resort. The Boulder and Pipestone famous springs will have to be careful of their lau- rels. The Alhambra mill and flume are both booming. Miss Eva Williams is a gifted cor- respondent, so I'll retire from the field in her favor by forwarding you my subscription and wishing the SENTI- NEL and its able staff of writers health, wealth and continual prosper- ity. All hands seem to be in favor of Jefferson county owning its own court house. If it is good for a pri- vate person to own his own house, surely it ought to be equally good for a great county like ours. WHITEHALL WINNOWINGS. I wish I could wield the pen like \Visitor\ when he described the ball in your columns last month given by that prince of good fellows, Mr. N. D. Root, and that princess of good ladies, Mrs. Root nee Miss Newbert, of Kansas. That reunion stamped itself indelibly on many minds, mine among the number, especially the more than excellent music furnished by Mr. Henry Collins and Mrs. Bailey. The SENTINEL is gaining golden opinions among the people of this section. May success attend your efforts. Every one I have spoken to, democrats and republicans, seem to be in favor of building a new court -house, where the records would not be in danger, as they are in Hol- ter's house. The court -house elec- tion will be held at the hotel in this place, under the supervision of the following well known judges: C. W. Brooke, chairman; A. A. Marsh and II. H. Houghton. BLG FOOT BUNS. The Grizzly is the boss mine of the camp. There is nearly a five foot vein of solid galena ore at the bot- tom of the Grizzly shaft, which as- says over thirty ounces in silver, half an ounce in gold and thirty-six per cent. in lead, as near as I can learn, The Hard Scrabble and Green Tuft are extensions of the Grizzly, and presumably as rich. The owners of these mines, which lie tiSout nine miles south of Boulder, are Messrs. Berendes, Cook, Henry Mounts, Evans, MacConville, Williamson, Gilbertson and others. Late numbers of the SENTINEL leave Helena and Butte papers far behind it in a literary and patriotic sense. Go on in your good work and you will gain troops of friends. Nearly every person I have talked to on the subject of new court-house are in favor of it. It is high time Jefferson county should own and not be renting such& rieceSsury building. JEFFERSON JOTS. Why don't you get, dear SENTINEL, those talented writers of your beauti- fully located town, Messrs. Forshay and Merriman, to pen you some more \jollities\ like what appeared in yosr columns some time ago ad- dressed to \the fair damsels of Jef- ferson county\? Why don't you influence the Jefferson City Siamese twins referred to to become married and invest in the three things ne- cessary to man's happiness according •to a late pronunciamentoof the Wan- dering Reporter? Who is that gifted Butte writer, anyway? As a female, I am anxious to know who he is. If he is an old bachelor, as he paints himself, please give me his address, or rather, give him mine as this is leap year. George Wilkinson ia closing the mail so I'll close by wishing the SENTINEL every snccess. BEDFORD BEANS. The county commissioners have ap- pointed our worthy postmaster, Nom Preuitt, chairman, with. H. Gardner and H. Raymond as aide de camps for the court house election on the 21st inst. Bedford will go solid for Jefferson county to be her own land- lord and not a tenant of the Holters' any longer. It will be a disgrace to the county if the bonds for the new court house are not voted for. The SENTINEL deaerves OLIT gratituae for its advocacy of this and other impor- questions affecting the welfare of the county and of the whole territory. CLANCY CHOWDER. The commissioners have named the following gentlemen as judges of the court house bond question to take place here on the 21st inst. at our school house: Wilson Redding., chairman; J. H. King and J. M. Ellis. Unless we want to have a race of landlords arili tenants the same as has been the curse of Ireland, Scotland, England and other Old World coun- tries, we will vote in favor of having a new court house of our own and not being any longer tenants of those Holter landlords, who have squeezed our county pretty well already in the shape of rents. I suppose you heard of the blowing up of the boiler of the Gebauer & Yergy mill on Trip creek near here on Good Friday. providentially no one was injured, though fully a dozen people were near the scene of the accident. The boiler was old and worn. The SEN- TINEL wisely advocates the appoint- ment of mine inspectors and ma- chine inspectors. Go on with your good work and may God prosper you: RADERSBURG RIPPLES. It is no idle dream to anticipate the fact that the votes cast in the old court house on the day of elec- tion will be in favor of the erection of a new court house, the property of Jefferson county and not of the Holter's. Your city itself occupies a magnificent location, it has never, as yet, passed through the throes of a boom; but has steadily advanced with the growth of the surrounding regir. Why not have a court house of our own and thus prove to stran- gers that we have confidence enough in ourselves to own our own public buildings and not be mere \tenants - at -will?\ The \judges\ appointed for the forthcoming election nere are J. D. Wood, chairman, and William Ramsay and J. W. Poe. Would it not be a wise and creditable as well payable proceeding for the county to offer under certain conditions the old court house as a \bonus\ to the first woolen or paper mill started in our county. That worthy son of Esculapius, L. A. Vawter, Esq., oc- cupies the three -fold position of phy- sician, magistrate and postmaster. Mr. Frank Wells presides with his usual dignity over his far-famed tem- ple of commerce. The temple of Bacchus is ruled by the genial James Dixon. Saint Crispin has a worthy son in our fellow citizen, William Manning. Madame Ripley keeps the Central Hotel supplied with the best steaks and chops to be found in Messrs. Harris & Hosfeld's meat market, while any visitor can be sup- plied with a spanking team at a mo- ment's notice by the well-known Al. Doughty, or be lathered and shaved to their heart's delight by the Ra- dersburg Knight of the cup, brush and razor, Sir John L. Sullivan Park- hill. Our citizens do not growl. They are not like \bears with sore heads\ like some of their neighbQrs with more pretensions. The Sox- .TINEI. is gaining new friends every I am aware I have exceeded the \limits\ of one hundred words the SENTINEL usually allows on an untried correspondent. WICKES WHISPERINGS. Wickes to -day is a busy and im- portant town destined to be the \Swansea\ of Montana, Idaho and even a great part of Washington Territory. Even now their ores come here for reduction and treatment. Anaconda may go ahead of it for a year or two, but the day will arrive when even Anaconda may be left in the shade by the magnitude of the reduction and smelting works at this point. The Helena and Wicks line of railroad has paid better than any line of the same length in the United States, I understand it pays for the cost of construction, etc.. every six months. The Montana Central will soon be in the field as an opposition line. This line struck a rich body of ore in the great tunnel year here being operated so successfully A) Larson & Keer The followingare all doing a fair business as far as I can learn at Wickes: Bach, Cory Co., Schreiner & Company, Frey- ler, Hamill Bros., Holdin, Cro- nin, Harris, Peterson & Johnson, Welch, Dean & Taylor, Street & Kroegel, Barrett & Co., Morrison, Stallard, Mayne, Engaatid, Bert, Shaver, Black, Conch and oth- ers. The majority of the above are in favor of having the bonds issued and the new court house immediate- ly erected, and they will prove their earnestness in behalf of our great county owning its own bublic build- ings on the 21st day of this month. Jefferson county citizens may as well put their \heads in bags\ as hold them up after that date, if this great county voluntarily becomes a tenant of Holter Bros. What would be thought of a rancher, who having hundred of acres of land would yet prefer to live and rent a house on an- other man's ranch, rather than on his own? Everyone of your readers can parallel the case as Jefferson county stands at present. Let your readers vote one and all in favor of the new court house. Wickes is not jealous of her fair sister—Boulder. The SENTINEL deserves our everlast- ing gratitude for its stand on this and kindred subjects affecting the welfare of Jefferson county, and of our wage -workers. COMET CHIPS. Comet owing its, altitude can afford to look down with pity and contempt upon any part of this mag- nificent county which will vote against the issuance of bonds for a court house belonging to Jefferson county and not to the Holter Bros. or any other corporation, firm or in- dividual on the 21st. A moment's reflection will convince any right- thinking mind that Jefferson county or any Aber county ought to own its own public buildings such as court houses, schools, etc., and not be rent- ing the same from sharks of specu- lators who will and must have their \pound of flesh\ out of the county's carcass. The election will take place at Parkinson's, W. H. Kayser, chair- man, W. A. Bumby, S. G. Mackey, assistant judges. Success to the SENTINEL for its noble stand on this important question and eyery other question covering the interests of the mines, miners and wage-earn- ers of Jefferson county. WOODVILLE WISPS. The air is pure and bracing. The wett.her is mild and invigorating. Butte visitors drive daily through Woodville to have a spin in Elk Park. A thousand men are at work on the two lines of railroad between here and your city. What a harvest your tax-gather will reap from them in the shape of poll, road, school or other tax. Thousands of dollars ought to be poured into the county treasury from such a source. If these men don't pay to Jefferson county where they earn it, they will have to pay later on in the year to some oth- er county. With regard to the new court house only a mossback, a miser, an idiot, or a natural-born fool can doubt the advisability of having a building the property of the people, and not pf a firm like the Holter Bros. May success crown the efforts of the SENTINEL on this and other important matters. FIRESTONE PUFFS AND Pkt . sTs. The Pipestone springs, weather and climate are unequalled. The Boulder, Alhambra, Paso Robles, Ar- kansas or any other springs in exist- ence can't lick us. Rheumatic Butte, consumptive Helena, in fact, Europe and America send their doomed patients here to recover. You had an output last year of $2,000,000 from Jefferson minerals and yet you don't own your court house. Boulder the center of a great agricultural do- main and inexhaustible mineral re- sources, the future capital of the great State of Montana, has to— shades of the immortal Jefferson— rent a Court house, and yet with Jeffersonian simplicity we doubt whether we ought to build one or go on paying and enriching the tribe of Holter. Why don't you' borrow of Uncle Sam who gave *80,000 the other day for public buildings in Helena? Why don't you even bor- row from uncle Sam Hauser who sends out a republican legislator from his democratic newspaper office to establish a railroad subsidy organ to enlighten you Boulderites2 How much does the SENTINEL get yearly as subsidy? l'm thinking it's put on \hard -tack\ the way it pitches into the timber thieves, etc. Sam Rob- ertson, if you go on the way you're going you'll get the \big bugs\ down on you, and then you know the dear pooplaa ( whos Lattlou you'vo berm so ably fighting don't care a darn whether you grub or not—but per- haps I'm mistaken in them and that they will come to your rescue as I do by sending you some coin and two Butte subscribers. Jefferson county has, I know, illimitable resources in mineral, in water, in her forests, in agriculture, in everything that tends to enrich a county, then why hesitate on the day of election in voting, \every mother's son of you,\ for a new court house. Mr. Stuart, the Pipestone postmaster -general tells me he is closing the mail department for the day so I'll finish by recom- mending your readers to show their confidence in themselves by not alone voting 40,000, but $140,000 if the amount for such ak object was re- quired. CORBIN CUSTARD. Your correspondent has conversed with the leading citizens of this sec- tion and they all seem to be in favor of building and owning a court house.. The election for that object will be' held in the Corbin school house un- der Chas. Mueller, chairman, Casper Freyler, and J. D. Powell. I am glad to observe that the SENTINEL is on the right side on this and other equally important subjects. CALVIN CUTLETS. The county commissioners are en- titled to the thanks and gratitude of the community for the way they met the Holter's at Calvin. H. S. Hough- ton and J. D. Allport are appointed judges of election for this precinct. Everything looks well around here. We have had some thundering fine weather lately. I cannot do without the SENTINEL now more than I could go without my meals. It is good literarY food. 1RACE GEMS. The court house election will be held in this place at Grace postale, the judges being T. N. McCall, chair- man, James Galusha and J. D. Stan - nerd. I think the county commis- sioners deserve our heartfelt thanks for thus redeeming Jefferson county from the thraldom of landlordism or at least giving us a chance of quit- ting our state of tenancy and serf- dom. Where is the man so mean who would not wish a home for him- self? Why cannot the county have a home for \justice\ without paying an usurious rate of interest to bloated landlord? Who is there so mean and low as to reoord their votes against the ereotion of a new court house, through any little petty jealousy about the location of same.. The SENTINEL deserves support.
