V X VOLUME II Americans Said to be Safe Washington, May 18.— While inquiries at the state department rtver the safety nf Americans in ¿he Yaqui valley, Mexico, were being answered today with assur ances that the eoioni*ts were in no present danger, official* still are apprehensive of another Indian outbreak. Governor Mayto-ena, heading the Villa administration in Son ora, is said to have dispatched all the troops from nearby garrisons and believes they can control the situation. It is known, however, that the best of all troops in the state have joined General Villa in his prolonged battle with the Carranza forces under Obregon, south of Leon. The colonists are concentrated at Yaqui Pueblo, ready to pro ceed to the coast if the troops do not quell the disturbance so they can return to their properties. Advices from Mexico today were meager. Consul Silliman at General Carranza’s headquarter* in Vera Cruz, reported the re capture of Panuco, i r Tampico, by the Villa foice.*.

Gladstone and John Williard are the princi pals in one of the worst cases of human depravity which State Humane Officer Lang has ever come in contact with, the victim being Margaret Moore, a 14-year- old girl. The men are in jail here, the W olf woman is detained at a local hotel and the unfortunate girl is at the H. C. Gains home. As the story goes, the girl wa9 left at the W olf home near Gal- breath. The man W olf is charged with outraging the girl, aided by the Wo'if woman. The girl made several futile attempts to escape and was threatened with her life. Finally she did get away and made for the Canadian border, but fell into the hands of Gladstone and Williard, an Indian and a Mexi can. where she was kept a prison er and subjected to depravity un speakable. She again made her escape from the fiends and came to Browning, where she wa9 cared for and the case reported to the humane oiScer, who took prompt, action, aided by Indian Agent Ellis The above four were ar rested for trespassing on an In dian reservation and brought to Cut Bank, where they will be tried tomorrow, Saturday. The humane officer,Indian agent, County Attorney Greene and others will be here to prosecute on a number of charges and no doubt the ease will prove a sensa tional one.—Cut Bank Pioneer Press. The preliminary examination of the prisoners mentioned in the above article'from the Pioneek Press, was held at Cut Bank last Saturday and resulted in three of them being bound over to the district court. These three are Frank W olf and his wife, as well as Jas. Gladstone, a Cree Indian. The cases against them will prob ably be tried at the next term of the district court. Litigation Ended The large reservoir, which lies a few mile9 west of Bynum, has passed into the bauds of the Brady Irrigation Co., and some of its in dividual stockholders, and its waters will be used in the irriga tion of lands near Bynum and in the territory lying between By num and Brady. Shares to the number of 607, owned by Thos. A. Marlow, of Helena, have been purchased at a price ot $230 per share,by stockholders o f the Brady company, and early next week Senator Tbos.O. Larson will go to Helena to turn over the purchase price and secure the stock of ihe Mailow interests. This means that the expensive litigation which has tied up the reservoir company for a number of years has been amicably adjusted, and that the wprk oi conveying the water of the reservoir to the lands in the Brady country will be commenced at an early date. It is thought the necessary ditches can be con structed during the present sum mer, and that the waters for irri gation purposes will be ready for use early next year. Those who have made the largest investment in the Marlow stocks are Senator T. O. Larson, of Choteau; the Truchot estate, August Kropp, Prescott & Scott, S. S. Hobson and the Brady Irrigation Co. The completion of these ditches will add probably 60,000 acres to tne irrigable territory of Teton county, and means considerable to the county as a whole, and par ticularly to the towns of Brady and Bynum. The land to be irri gated is among the very best in northern Montana, and with suf ficenfc water will undoubtedly prove to be one o f the garden spots of this entire section. •' \ -f -, ■■¿-'h* ■* . - - •:,T '• \ T - ■ ‘Ï ïh Ü & a -. \ t - L ‘ i \ * 7 / : ï ) $ ' ' r J * : ; ♦, r .■» CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY,; -MONTANA, M A Y 21, 1915 . - 15' NUMBER 47 MARSHALL FIELD 3D AND BRIDE. m Photo by Am erican Press Association. • Grandson ol Chicago’s late merchant prince leaving with wife to visit his mother, Mrs. Maldwin Drummond, in England.
