GONE INTO THE HORSE BUSINESS.
About fifty head of the best horses owned
the Bitter Root Valley were missed from
leir accustomed ranges within the last !
Venty days, and we haye just heard that
hitc man and two halt-brepds passed through
partown a few days ago Witha band Of fifty g
,rscs, baand for the Saskatchewan, They .
ossed the mountain on trail leading llp Q
lree Mile Creek below Steyensville, and h
me out on the Mullen road near the mouth 4
Big Rock Creek. They offered 5000 horses t,
Bear for $50, and said they were taking /,
band to Helena for sale. Before leaying 4
e Bitter Root, they took all the clothes L
les and ropes they could get hold of, and i
g general impression prevails that the O
ieyes were heading for the North and are t t.
" out OF reach. T. T.
We understand that the grain crop of Deer r.
dge Valley was damaged by the grasshop- Al
rs much more than was at first supposed. OF o,

ain, from which he had $50 bushels last :,
