Missouri , Mont. , Doc. 19. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB HKI : . ] The greatest hanging
which over took plnco in the northwest oc
curred this morning when Lallacce , Pierre
Paul , Antloy nnd Pascalo , four Indian mur
derers , wore hanged nt the court house hero.
The execution took place ) promptly at lOsliO.
Sheriff Houston and his deputies marched out
the condemned men. Thuy were followed by
Fathers Dnsto and Gcninn. Plerro Paul
kept telling his heads. Lulhicoo was handed
the crucifix and lid pressed it ardently to his
lips.Tho
The men were quickly pinioned and the
nooses placed over their beads. Not one , of
them trembled. Tlio ordeal was passed by
which their courage could bo tested.- They
; * vcro ready. The black caps wcro placed
over their heads. The priests Intoned their
prayers nnd thcro wore low responses.
Bhurill Houston pnvo the signal for nil to
leave the scaffold and It was obeyed. Father
Gcrnna stood upon the steps. Sheriff IJous-
ton walked down the steps nnd when ho
reached the fourth ono n sharp chisel cut the
rope , the trap fell and the bodies shot down
ward with the rapidity of thought almost ,
The drop was npruiiB nt exactly 10:17. :
Pierre Paul cnma within nninchof the ground
but the recoil of the rope drew him up until
ho was clear of the earth his feet would never
tread again.
Drs. Parsons , Hagcr , ICnlttlonnd nillmycr
wcro ready , watch in hand , to sco when life
was extinct. The oodles were placed in cof
fins and this morning will bo taken to St. Ig-
naco mission nud buried.
Agent Hogan was present nnd will &co that
the wish of the Indians to bo burled at the
mission Is carried out , IIo says there will ho
nothing but religious services at tbo graves
nnd no Indian rites will bo observed ,
Most of the sheriffs of the state were pres
ent or had representatives and numerous
"Ihlef talicrs" watched the proceedings.
The Indians hanged belonged to the Klat-
head tribe , whoso reservation Is in Mlssoula
county nnd Is , on nccountof Its fine situation
und plentiful stock of game , much frequented
_ _ by tourists Trom the cast and from Kurope.
'Iho crimes by which the four bad Indians
forfeited their lives wcro brought fully homo
to them , but wcio probably only n few among
many deliberate murders committed by them
for the purpose of robbery.
Tbo Flathonds nro mostly Catholics and
partly clvllired. The Jesuits commenced
work among them about llfty years ago , nnd
they cultivate the soil nnd practice the sim
pler trades , while the boys' nnd girls' schools
nro well attended , and some of tbo leading
members of tbo trlbo have mnassed wealth.
Chief JKnens is reported to bo wortb
Ul'0,000. Under tbo present ngcnt , Peter
itonnn , who was appointed twelve yenrs
ngo , the 1rlbo lias made rapid progress. Ho
Is a klndlicartcd innn , llrm and courageous ,
and he thoroughly understands the Indian
diameter. The Flathcads soon learned to
know him ana to understand that their treat
ment depended entirely upon their conduct.
Ho succeeded In establishing a native court
nmomr them for the trial of offenses com
mitted by Indians against members of their
own tribe , nnd It has woiked very satisfac
torily with Chief .i-Encas ns judge.
But there were some among thoFlatheads
who wCrwI&rtQt amenable to the Influence of
their own ehiofa. the priests or the agent.
They were idto nnd fund of "llrowntor , " and
became n burden to their ov. n pcoplo and a
terror to travelers coming , , to the neighbor
hood of the rcscrvmlon. They became -
came so unpopular in the tribe
that they spent most of the
time tvnnderlng between the reservation nnd
the British possessions. This section is rich
In minerals und Is much frequented by pros
pecting parties. During the last three years
many men who started out singly on pros
pecting tours In the ncigtborbood of the
reservation mysteriously disappeared , nnd
investigation revealed the fact that these In-
dinn outlaws bad formed themselves into a
band to rob and murder travelers found In
Isolated places. The bodies of the victims
were loft to bo devoured bv wild beasts.
The bodies of some of the murdered whites
were found nnd through the confcssln of In
dians the guilt was fastened on the murder
ers. The body of an unknown man was
found on the banlc of the ICootcnal river , and
shortly after those of two prospectors were
discovered. These wcro victims of Lallaceo
nnd i'lcrro Paul. It was proved that Antley.
with others , had nmbushcd and murdered
thrco prospectors , Hen Tompklns , Dan Ale-
Donald and Hill Huloy. His fellow murder
ers were captured anil lynched. Pasculo con
fessed to some Indians who testified ngainst
him thnthohad murdered James W. Dunn
of lowii , who was on his way from Post
Falls , Idaho , to British Columbia with $2,000
on his person. IIo crept up behind Dunn and
Bhot him In the back. IIo builuu part of the
money nnd afterward nskcd the aid of the
Indians who gave evidence against him In
"securing It.
Sheriff Houston of Missoula county organ
ized a largo party nnd went to the reservation
to capture the murderers or nsccrtnln their
whereabouts. Chief JEuens was willing to
liolphlm , but the culprits had fled and wcro
only overtaken by the sheriff's nrmed party
within a few miles of the Urltlsh lino. Tboy
came upon L.nllaceo and Plerro Paul sud
denly ns they werobreaklngcampln thoearly
morning and covered them with tbolr Win
chesters , so that resistance was useless. Ant-
ley and Pttscnlo wcro later found on tbo reser
vation nnd delivered up by Chief .dJueas. The
trial lasted n week.

Theodore Itoosovolt's llcnmrks lie-
fore the Nineteenth Century Club.
Nuw YOKK , Dec. 19. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Bun. ] Civil Service Commissioner
Theodore Roosevelt said to the members ol
the Nineteenth Century club last nlpht sev
eral things about "Americanism In Politics. "
Ho laid the foundation for his talk by remarking -
. marking that a good healthy American spirll
would Dot prevail until prefixes were
knocked off from the word Americnn. This
country has no use for Irish-Americans , Ocr
man-Americans , Italian-Americans , or auj
other Uliid , except plain , straightforward
Americans. That ono word ought to covei
the whole population of the United States
"It Is all right to adopt and welcome for
olpncra to tula country , " continued Mr ,
Koosovolt , "but wo have the right to demand
that they shall leave their native politics ni
borne nnd become real Americans , It Is at
outragofor people living bore as citizens tc
mix up Irish politics , British politics or nnj
other foreign politics with our polities
Americanism Is not u mutter of birthplace 01
creed. It Is a matter of spirit , of chaructei
and of loyal citizenship.1'

' PIN-E HIDOB AoE.xcr , S. D. ( via Uusfivllle ,
Neb. ) , Dec. 19. [ Special Telegram to Tun
BEK. ] Little Wound , ono of the most promi
nent of the hostile cbicls who was coaxed In
from the bad lands a few days ago , came into
Agent Koycr's ofllco this forenoon ns mad as
n hornet. Tbo cause of his agitation was , It
developed , the idea of sending out Indlnns
from hero to try and bring In his former asso
ciates now remaining In the lands that nro
bad. "This thing should be , " exclaimed the
physically gigantic and brainy old warrior.
"It menus nothing more or less,1' continued
he , ' 'than tbo breaking of another pledge
given us In apparently the best of faith and
with the greatest emphasis by the whlto
rulers. The pledge of which I speak was
made fourteen years ago. The white faces
must remember it surely. 1'ho Indian will
never forget It. In 1871).when ) nt Fort Kobluson ,
the war department asked us to go out after
those bad Indians who were making trouble
then.Vodldsoon the promise that never
would wo bo asked to do so again. But here ,
notwithstanding that prumtso tmulo ana re
ceived In the name of the Grunt Spirit , wo
are now asked to again go out and get In
dians whoso hearts are bad , Does the whlto
man think that right or wrong i Has ho no
longer left to him a knowledge of truth and
lying < "
"I hnvo nothing to do with this nskltg ) you
nnd your men to go
declared Agent Uoyer.
A gnint of surprise or increased anger.lt
was hnrd to tell which.escaped LlttloWound ,
and he asked : "Who , then , proves the palo-
facoaliarJ"
"Go and ask General Brooke , " said the
agent.
"Never " exclaimed the
, never , never ,
painted chief , with an evil twist
of his head and n fierce stamp
of his foot. "Never would 1 go and sco him.
No , no ; " and Jumping to his fcotand girding
his blanket about his magnificent form ho ,
who but a few da.vs ago was challenging the
palo faces to meet him in battle in the bad
lands , strode out of the room more deeply en-
aged than when ho entered it.
The feeling revealed so fully by Little
A'ound has been , noticeable over slnco the
dca of sending n party of armed "frlendlics"
nto the bad lands was broachcd but none of
ho ofllcials expected for a moment to sco so
cnsatlonal a demonstration of It. General
Brooke's scouts have been busy all day try-
ugto rustle up a party of f 00 of those al-
cged frlondlics to go against the bad lands

Btnnton'8 Command and Indians.
CAMP ON CHEYENNE RIVEU ( by courier to
lapidCity , S. D. ) , Dec. 19. Prom-twenty to
.hirty ranchers rode into camp yesterday. All
agree that the Indians are augmenting their
'orces nnd growing bolder hourly. It was
ascertained early this mornlnft that the
Jescrtcil ranches and outlaying buildings of
a man named Wilson were burned to the
ground last night , having flrst been looted.
Hon. M. II. Day , aid-de-camp to
Governor Melletto , reports besides
seventy tepees between Bnttlo and
Spring creeks ho saw another largo
band further down the Cheyenne river. IIo
thinks they number at least three hundred ,
and estimates they had 1,000 head of ponies
and a largo number of cattle with them , most
of which were stolen.
This morning General Cnrr sent Captain
Stanton of the Sixth cavalry with his troop ,
numbering about sixty men , to scout and
look around for Indians In the bad lands.
Three heliograph stations have been estab
lished , ono in camp , ono on top of the high
bluffs and ono which had followed up Captain
Stanton's command. A soldier from a helio
graph station reported to General Carr that
Captain Stanton was In an engagement with
the Indians. General Carr gave orders for
Lieutenant Scott and Troou D to go to his as
sistance. Later Captain Stauton and the
other troops returned. It was learned
that ho had a skirmish with a largo
party of Indians heading for the
oad lands. Shots wcro exchanged
in n quite lively manner for some tlmo when
the Indians escaped In the bad lands. Cap
tain Stanton followed them for some tlmo ,
but fearing an ambush withdraw his troops
and returned to camp.

HOW TO SERVE NOTICE OF CONTEST.

WASHINGTON BUREAU THE OMAIU BEE , )

WASHING TO x , D. C. , Dec . 10. j
Assistant Secretory Chandler of the late
rlor department today decided a very inter
esting land case , in which ho renders n de
cision relative to the service of notlcoof con
test , nnd also makes seine interesting obser
vations regarding the right of attorneys.
The case is that of Edward Driscoll vs Ed
mund P. Johnson , deceased. It appears that
Drlscoll tiled a contest against the entry of
ono Johnson , December 31 , 1SS7 , nnd notice
of contest was served by the local ofllccrs by
a registered letter , in which the hearing was'
sot for February 1C , 18SS , the testimony to betaken
taken February 10. On that date , however ,
Johnson was killed by the occidental dis
charge of a gun. The contestant proceeded
with the testimony before a notary. On
February 15 the attorney of John
son appeared before the register nnd
receiver and moved to dismiss the case be
cause of defective service of notlco. The
motion was overruled and the contestant was
allowed to file a supplemental aflldnvlt and
proceed against the heirs. An appeal was
taken by the attorney , but the commissioner
of the general land onico nftlrnicd the de
cision of the local ofllccrs. Johnson's at
torney again appealed , and regarding this
the secretory says : "Johnson having died
prior to the hearing , his attorney had no
authority to appear for him. The relation of
attorney and client censed on the death of
the client. Nor can a dead man appeal by
attorney. Johnson , however , was never
properly served with notice , ni the rules of
practice do not provide for service by regis
tered letter. " The secretary savs this is
the first time an attempt Las been
inado to servo notlco by registered letter ,
to his personal knowledge , although It has
been complained of on several occasions. IIo
says the language of some of the decisions of
the department might seem to authorize this ,
and ho therefore thinks It advisable to try
and reconcile them. After reviewing the
decisions in n number of cases the secretary
says : "While notlco of interlocutory mo
tions , orders nnd nearly all proceedings oc
curring after Jurisdiction is once obtained
may bo made through the mall , there Is no
provision in the rules of prnctlco for # cquir.
Ing jurisdiction over resident defendants
through such service. The notice of contest
takes the place of a writ of summons in com
mon law courts , which Is a duo process of
law , without which no person may bo
deprived of his property. This
writ of summons in nil the states
to which my research has extended is re
quired to bo served by a sworn ofllcer of the
law. This dcpirtment has so far departed
from this general rule of practice as to allow
notlco of contest to bo served by persons
other than ofllccrs of the law , but it has not
authorized service by mall of a writ whicn

INDIANS MUST KOT 1IAVJ ! Flltn.UlSIS.
Senator Pcttlgruw of South Dakota will
tomorrow introduce n bill which will inflict a
heavy penalty flno or Imprisonment
upon all who give , trade or barter , or in
any way supply Indians on reservations
under tbo control of an agent firearms of any
character or ammunition except by special
permission of the secretary of tbo interior ,
and authorizing the president to Immediately
disarm all Indians on the reservations who
are wards of the government. Senator Pet-
tigrow says , the Indians will never go to war
without guns and powder nnd that this would
put a ston to all trouble nnd do it quickly.
Senator Mnnderson Introduced the resolu
tion given In a BII : : special last night , pro
posing a full investigation of the entire In
dian question with a view to discovering and
turning them over to the war department.
Ho said today : "Such an investigation is
absolutely necessary. Even hero in the sen
ate opinion is sharply divided as to the causa
which brought abo\it \ tbo present disturbance
in South Dakota. Especially docs it seem
necessary that something bo done to prevent
the sale of arms and ammunition to
the Indians. Thcso bucks have the
best quality of Wiichester rifles
and an apparently unlimited supply
ammunition. The only uses they can put
these things to is the killing of white men or
whlto men's cattle. There is no game to
shoot that calls for n long range rlllc , and the
government should immediately take steps
for n general disarmament of tbo Indians. "
General Brooke's conduct of the troops In
the present campaign has been the topic of
much comment at the w.ir department and in
congress It Is stated on every hund that his
management has been conservative , nhlo nnd
far-seeing. The Nebraska delegation In con
gress nro especially proud of the manner In
which General Iirooko has conducted him
self. They say ho has done nothing to irrl-
tate tno Indians nnd drive them to despera
tion , while nt tbo same tlmo bo has taken
every posblble step to protect the settlers and
head off any natural tendency the Indians
may have had to make war.
The Now York Sun of today has a column
editorial on the "Indian War , " most of which
is taken up by comment upon General
Brooke's demeanor since the inclplency of
the Indian agitation in the noithwcst. In
the course ol the Sun's observation It says :
"Some of the Indians , nt flrst thoroughly
nlnrmcd bv the preparations the government
was makfng by Bonding so many troops to
surround them , took refuge In the bad lands ,
The wise and conciliatory course pursued by
General Brooke to reassure those Indiana and
to persuade them to como into the agency and
have conference with him had a happy effect ,
With a few exceptions the Indians came to
the agency. The result of the talk was sat
isfactory and the outlook became promising
nnd peaceful again. If the authorities who a
fortnight upo countermanded the orders for
the arrest of Sitting Dull have since then
deemed it wlso to have him arrested a force
should have been sent sufllclcnt to ovornwo
resistance and thus save the lives at least of
the Indian police who bravely undertook that
duty. There wcro plenty of troops at hand ,
but they wcro not employed until the mis
chief was done. Had the old chief
seen himself nnd his band sur
rounded by a strong body of armed
men numerous enough to mnuo resistance
hopeless ho would never have shown light ,
nor would his trembling , hesitating follow
ers have been urged Into committing them
selves and then allowed to escape only to
fiirht to desperation in the bad lands , Gen
eral Urooko was not responsible for this
matter. Wo have conlldenco In General
Ilrooko. lie is an ofllcer who is reassuring
nnd conciliatory-defensive when necessary ,
warlike when unavoidable , and sure to
accomplish results in harmony with the
wishes of the country. "

Surgeon General Hamilton of the marine

other causes hnvo developed latent heredi

Dr. Van Hclpcn , first assistant surgeon
general of the navy , snyi that Pariicll's ac

that they indicate cither nn unbounded ego

Dr. Vnn liclpin says : "It Is hoped that
Pnrnell Is Insane. It IH very hnrd to mnrlc

of a sane man , aiidyct , It Is almost equally
consistent upon the hypothesis of mental de

Other prominent alienists express similar
views , the general opinion that hereditary
features of Insanity , which nro said to exist
In the family at least give rise to study and
spcciilutlon among modlcal men as to the
soundness of i\Ir. \ Purnell's mind.
