CAPTAIN DAVIS YELLowsTONE
CONTRACT.
Eight Thousand Tons of Government
Freight Handled.

We learn from Capt John Fl. Reaney
who lives 10 St. Louis, and is member of
the Yellowstone Transportation Co. that
the last pound of freight embraced in the
government contract of over 5000 tons,
left Fort Buford on the 9th. Above that
point there are now nine boats and five
barges engaged ia delivering goods to
their destination, which is fully completed
by this time. Already the Tidal Wave.
which has been engaged in filing the con-
tract has left Bismarck for St. Louis.
The Arkansas is also at Bismarck, and
has left for st. Louis. and all the other
boats Of the line but two or three, which
will be wintered at Bismarck, will be
headed for St. Louis by the 18th of the
month.
The early completion of this heavy con-
tract is due in part to the fact that Gen
eral Terry, in his recent visit to the sites
CT the Tongue river and the Big Horn
Forts, became satisfied that navigation Of
the Big Horn was not practicable He
therefore established a supply depot FOR
the Big Horn post and Tongue river. at
which point all supplies are deliverd by
the boats, from which point they are sent
overland, a distance of thirty-fye. miles.
Captain Reaney reports the Missouri
and Yellowstone rivers as 10 good
navigabls condition now, and likely to re-
main SO during the present month. The
rivers are now fed by melting SHOWS in the
mountains, giving steady supply of water.
While he was at Tongue river, July IA,
the mercury marked 10S degrees in the
sun. At the same time up in the noun.
tains. easily seen by glasses, violent
snow storm ragged all day, As rule at
this season of the year, the days are very
warm at that section, with nights so cool
as to require warm covering for comfort.
Work upon the military post at Tongue
river is progressing satisfactorily.
Captain Reaney returned to Bismarck
yesterday the 10th and thence on up the
river to attend to closing up the business OF
the company withreference to the present
contract, and seeing to the departure OF
the steamers not to be detained there for
st. Louis.

Too Much Wife.

Last spring shoemaker from Mon
mouth, Glover by name, set up his bench
IN Norwood. Mercer county He and his
wife have been living here ever since, every
thing going off smoothly; but it appears
from recent developments that he is a
rather too much married man, The
sheriff of Monmouth was there few days
ago, very anxious to see him; but he had
just left on business which he has not fin
shed yet. He is said to have three wives
living at present. Glover was correled
near the brewery in Monmouth some days
ago and lodged in Jail. Thursday was the
day fixed for his hearing before Justice
Madden, and the matrimonial harness is
going to fit tight on him, His last alliance
vas contracted with widow in Monmouth
during the last winter Oh, thou faithless

Got Off Easy.

Frank Weiss and Jacob Mangel, the two
young men who carved up the Mueller
boys in front of Wagner's brewery, last
Monday evening, waived an examination
before Justice Halves, yesterday, and
were sent to Jail in default Of $1,000 bonds
each. In the afternoon, however, they ap-
peared before the county .cOurt and plead
guilty to assault With q deadly weapon
with intent to do great bodily injury. They
were each fined $25 and committed to the
county jail for 20 days, or until the fine
and costs are paid. They got off easy
considering the offense. Suppose they
had chawed up the court as fthey did the
Mueller boys and some. of the court haC
let them off with such petty sentence
what would the court think about justice
