City altorney Bell made verbal . re port concerning misdemeanora and trouble of securing convictions, con s'dering which, npon motion of coun cilman Flavel, the Police Judge was instructed hereafter to publish, the names of all persons appearing for tr"ai in the police court in the newspa per of the city. The committee on health and police reported finally on city jail and engine house, submitted plans and specifica tions, and bids. The matter waB re ferred beck to the committee, with instructions to prepare bonds and sell the same, and secure the funds in such manner, necessary to build and furnish the building according to -plan submit ted by Bain & Ferguson. The committee on fire and water were authorized to report an amend ment to the ordinance creating the fire department. On motion the council adjournecL John Shively Escaped. The Helena Independent prints an ac count, of John Shively's capture by the Nez Perces and his adven tures atnony; them. They kept him thirteen days, wanting him for a gnide. He says: "They asked me if I would show them the best trail ont of the Park to wind river, where they are going. I told them that I would, as I knew all about the country. This seemed to be satisfactory, and the council broke up and .the camp moved up a mile or two, where an encampment lor the night was formed. A robe was tr;tven me, and an Indian named Joe was detailed to sleep with me. He spoke very good English; said I must not attempt to escape; that he would be my friend; that they had come that way to get away from Howard; that the trail by that route to Wind river was not known to them, but other Indians had told them about it, and that if I told them the truth they would not harm me." One night he slipped ont and escaped. The In dians told Shively they had been robbed and swindled at Lapwai by an agent they called "John Hall," and on whom they laid all their trouble; that they were going to make a new borne in the Crow country, and would be joined by a thousand more lodges, including Crows, when they reached that country. vShivelv had heard noth. ins: of the outbieak ptcvious lo his captuie. Kunning the Kapids. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, after making the trip down the rapids .above Montreal, concludes that "there is real danger in it." Of the Indian pilot he says: 'He was the tir!t man to take a steamboat over these rapids. For thirty years he has been driving these steeds down this rocky and dangeroas road, and he knows the path well. But I notice that while we are in tbe rapids h's face is in dead earn est, the eye keen, the lips set, the muscles tense, and when we are passed a laugh breaks over his lace, as if once more he realized the triumph oi doing well a difficult duty." The passage is described as follows; ,lThe previous ones were rapids; this is almost a little cataract. Before we saw the waves beat into foam upon the rocks; once we discerned the rocks be neath the foam; but here they push their sharp and cruel heads above the waters. These pour about them and over them, but always in one direction; never with return ing wave. Now we no, longer seem to be in a miniature storm at sea, but in the very heart of a rocky current. The tortuous channel is bounded with visible rocks on one side and on the other. The Cap. tain requests the passengers to keep their places, moving to and fro may throw the steamer out of her course and into danger. The pilot holds her head firmly for tbe rock that threatens to pierce her strong sheathing, through until almost within reach from the lower deck, then, with a sudden turn, swings her round, cheats the rock, nd airaaiferber greedy fellow on the other sicle. So, veering fromJSoylla to Charybdis, we pass the last rapids."
