Butte,' Mount., Nov 2.. :A special
to. the JMiner from Butta says that
one of the, most .sensational rob
beries that has ever occurred in the
niatory , or vv ester n t. Montana was
enacted .at;Plains.., yesterday, ; news
of which has just reached this place,
A. wealthy natbeaded Indian named
Machell .was robbed Saturday night
of $22,000 in cash, the money con
sisting of $ loo bills and 2o gold
pieces. . . .... ...
, Machell was a visitor in Plains
Saturday night, and during his ab
sence, at about lo o'clock .at night,
a man dressed as a squaw visited
his home on Camas Prairie and en
gaged in conversation . with Macb-
ell's squaw. Mrs Machell noticed
that. the visitor was not an Indian
squaw, balra whiteman, as he could
not talk Flathead, but she did not
suspect anything wrong .Jill she
sawrtvyo men run from an outbuil
ding, ; carrying something : with
them. Then it was that her sus
picion was aroused, as the wealth
had been stored in that building.
lhe robbers jumped on their horses
which were near by, and the one
that had been talking to her joined
them and the three "rode hurridley
away.'1- ' ::- V---- '--r-:
Aa soon as she reached the plains
with the news, several whitecitizens
of that place accompanied Machell
to -his home to find if the story -was
true, which was proved on - their
arrival there. A score of young
Indians started out to try to locate
the robbers, but no clew has . been
found. : '
Machell . is the wealthiest full-
blood Indian on the reservation.
H9 has large . herds - of - horses
and cattle, and was always -. known
to have money, but few people knew
that he kept it at home. It devel
ops however, that the" old "Indian
was "afraid to - trust his money
in the bank, and kept it in an old
trunk in an outbuilding at his
home. .

strange tale of. a ! strange marine
disturbance that was told by Cap
tain Montgomery, of the whaling
bark Alice Knowles, which has just
arrived.- - .-- .
"We were lying some 200 miles
off the Kurlie Islands, on the Si
berian Coast, when the shock . was
felt on August 13th," he said.
"Almost a dead calm prevailed,
and the sea was as smooth - as a
mill pond., I' was . in my cabin
wnen x ieit, tne sea snasing nise a
leaf. It seemed that the deck was
falling in on me. The whole ship
rattled as from impact with some
object. I knew that the disturb
ance was not caused by a heavy
sea, and I rushed on deck. There
I found ; the crew terror-stricken
and gazing helplessly at another.
While on deck the shaking con
tinued and a rumbling noise re
sembling thunder seemed to come
from the depths of the sea. "The
surface of the sea was disturbed
and was breakingup in confused
masses. " The rumbling noise ; and
the vibration stopped simultaneous
ly, and the sea again became calm.
Both my -chronometers stopped at
2:30 o'clock in the afternoon and I
was set do miles out 01 my course
by the incident. I didn't notice if
the surface of the water was dis
colored, but for two days I sighted
fishes floating on the surface of the
sea." .

'- London November 1. The Ch
ronicle says: Much excitement
has been aroused in Rome during
the last few days over an alleged
haunted house in the Viale della
Kegena, inhabited - for years past
by an old couple and their sons.
Nothing abnormal occurred until
the" present week, when heavy thud3
began to; proceed from the walls of
the room, as though struck -by in
visible hands. Than - ornaments
were dashed with great force from
their brackets onto the floor, and
smashed into fragments.
It is said id the newspapers that
the youngest : son aged. 15; " had
scarcely retired to rest last night,
when he was dragged by tba feet
around the room by these u aseen
influences, which afterward exten
ded their plan of operations to the
portes3' j lodge, hurliDg a fiatiron
that lay en the bed at the unfortu
nate woman's head, in the presence
of several friends. Two carabineers
attracted to the house by - the
cries of the inmates proceeded to
the boy's bedroom and set about
investigating the bed, upon touching
which they received so severe an
electric shock that both are suffer
ing from the effects. "
The phenomena then ceased for
the night; but today the house has
been visited by hundreds, and such
as gained admission testify to have
witnessed an incessant dance' of
candles, while fiatiron s, fresh figs,
oil cans, and pepper boxes played
at leap frog round the apartment.
Finally a cooked joinLJs said to:
issued forth from a locked meat-
safe, and after having been chased
"several times about the room to

Portland's wheat shipments ' alone
were in excess of 1,850 000 bushels.

dogs saved the lives " of four- per
sons last night and were then res
cued from a burning building-in
Ashland Avenue by' their grateful
masters. The dogs apparently be
came frightened at the smoke and
crackling of the flames'under them
and began to bark. The noise they
made awakened Henry and Arthur
Hirsch, members of the Calumet
Metal Company and J C Spokane
and Benjamin Barrigan, who were
asleep in the building. '
As they were leaving the build
ing, Arthur Jtlirsch suggested to
his brother they ought to save the
dogs so the two turned backy and
groping their way through : the
smoke, found. the two dogs almost
overcome. Grasping the dogs - by
the collars the two men drew them
to a 5 rear door, and escaped. The
fire caused a loss of $35,ooo.
