Special Corrrespondence. P iegan , Jan. 19.— -But little has transpired here within the past few days, excepting the arrival of the witnesses from the north in the Ford case. The case has been postponed until the 25th, owing to the non arrival of Attorney Weed and Peter M. Baum, of Great Falls, the delendent’s at torney. Crown Prosecutor Gallagher, of Lethbridge, Alberta, will conduct the prosecuti* n, whilst Attorney Baum will defend the prisoner. Much speculation is indulged in as to the guilt or innocence of Ford. Those who are best acquain ted with him protesting his inno« cence, while a few of onr north ern neighbors believe him to be guilty. Be that, as it. may, time alone can tell. Outside of being incarcerated, Ford is the happiest man at the agency. -¿He is well treated by those in authority buc strictly guarded. To believe him guilty of the crime as charged, there., is ances ¿hat entertains, sucli a thought, and every effort will, be made to' secure his acquittal.. It is a-fact that for years Ford has been connected with the smu^ gling business north of the inter national boundary line, and not withstanding the vigilance of the Mounted Police, he lias evaded arrest. Thi6, taken together with the crime he is now charged of has made the Canadian authoiites the more anxious to to ferret out the real cause of Maliew’s death. But the main issue will he, was death caused by an accident, or was he murdered, and if so, was it upon this or the other side o f the boundary line ? Captain Mathews, Dr. Aylary, and Sergt. Cotter and five police- from Fort McLeod are here, und are detained in the Ford case. Joe K ippV new stare building at Blackpool is now completed and will soon be thrown open to the public. The lioiel and iivery stable un der the management of Wm. Ha gan, formerly o f Choteau, is run ning in full blast and enjoying a good trade.

Ho spent Tuesday and Wednesday gunning and fishing among the brakes and braes along the Teton. The first d a y was in tended for fishing and the second wan to be devoted to the slaughter of wild beasts, and with that intention Mr. Allen set out early Tuesday morning with rod and gun in quest of a good trout bole where he might sit upon a log, like many another gudgeon of the pond, and hook the spreckled beauties. After a five mile tramp he found such an one, and seating himself upon the identical log above mentioned, he cast his bait into the clear waters and waited for a “ rise.” He did not have to wait long. 'The fine weath er had awakened .the beasts o l the forest from their slumbers, and Bruin was out on the trail. And just as the ^hopper” on Allen’s hook rippled the placid waters of the pool, his. bèarsbip stepped upon tne other end o f th r log which, by the way, lay with one, end elevated, thus forming a “ teeter.” The weight o f bruin gave the now expectant fishermau the looked for rise, and up he went, several feet above the clear cool waters. The bear o f course went down, and there be sat, and sat , and sat, .until! finally Allen had to slide off.the log into tbe.’cold wa- ter among t b /flsb to escape-the bold; brazen starehf thebear: Asadrowning man catches a t straws; s o Allen took a tighter hold on his fishing rod. As be went down among the fishes he saw troops of bears rise before him as the bubbles from the escaping air in bis lungs ascended to the surface of the water. Myriads of fish< darted around him in their efforts to escape. T o him they were sharks, and ever the aseendiDg bubbles took on the shape of great white bears who danced and played around him in ghoulish glee. Of course Allen was not long under water, but t o him it was ages. And during those ages he was beset on all sides by bears and sharks, so that when he did get out and .found the real bear gone, he was so thahkfull for his deliverance that, he fell upon bis knees and prayed. Part of A Groat Movement.. The Idea of educating people in their homes, instead o f confining the process within the walls o f a college, is just be ginning to make itself known and felt. The great movement termed “ Univer sity Extension” is simpley a movement to bring some o f the advantages of the higher schools into the homes of the people, that advantage may be taken of the very expensive machinery of higher education by those who are unable to leave home or to raise the money re quired. The university extension course is largely the outgrowth of Chautauqua influences and the influence o f the corre spondence schools of languages, etc., which have been established L>r some yeans. An incorporated law school has been established at Detroit, Mich., under the name of the Sprague Correspondence School of law—so named from its origin ator. The School has been in operation fifteen months and is doing great service to the many men und women through out the country who are desirous of ob taining a liberal education in the law, but who are not able to attend the law colleees.
