Indian Farming I'm Dakota.
~. (Washington Telegram.

A report from George Brown, second
lieutenant Eleventh Infantry, command
ing Indian scouts at Fort Bennett, gives
an account of a tour of inspection made
by him to several Indian camps in the
Cheyenne River agency, Dakota, for the
purpose of ascertaining the condition of
cattle purchased in 1877 and 1873 for the
Indians. This report shows that there
were in possession of Indians on August
IA, 534 cows and $50 calves. He says:
AT all camps the cattle showed evidence
IN their appearance and gentleness efgood
attention and careful handling, and while
q few of the Indian, do not appear fully
to realize the advantages which accrue to
them from careful management of their
cattle, and would doubtless dispose of
them if not restrained by fears Of punish
ment, am convinced that a majority do
now realize the value of their cattle, and
would not part with them under any cir
cumstances. The Indians are becoming
firmly attached to their cattle, and as
consequence are less ruthless and discon-
tented. Many are locating on the sepa-
rate claims. breaking up land, collecting
pigs and chickens and articles of house
hold utility from the legitimate results of
their personal labor"

MOHTANA CATTLE TAADE.
ITS Importance to the North Pacin e.

"A Glance ut the fuIu{e.
The importance of the Mont{na cattle
trade to the North Pacific is notSets scarce
ly realized though it is increasing year by
year. This week and next 1, ,70dhead will
be shipped and as the Bozcmad Courier
concludes this is but the beginning. The
Courier says: No approximate estimate
can be made of the number Of beef and
stock cattle that will be shippedEast from
Montana over the Northern Pfific rail-
road when it once reaches the Y Yqlowstone
valley. The cattle ranges Of M(ntana are
almost ]imitless in extent and aye beyond
comparison the most nutritiOuskn md favor
able, summer and winter, ranges to be
found on the continent. During the past
eight or ten years the stock business here
has been gradually and steadily increas-
ing until it now assumes an Importance
second to no other industry in the Terri
tory, while in actual value if not in num-
bers, the cattle herds of Montala are be-
ginning to bear favorable comparison
with those Of Texas and Colorado, with q
reasonable prospect of outstripjing them
both at no distant day. If I'd the beef
herds which hereafter Montana awill an
nually turn out, are. added tho mutton,
wool and hides produced each Year in the
Territory, and which will have fo. seek an
eastern mar6et, then no estimate hereto.
fore made will indicate the MAGNITUDE of
the carrying trade in these lineA that the
Northern Pacific will control the moment
the road penetrates into the settlements Of
Montana. 10 ~

The news Of the fire came this morning
by the military lines, and the brief state
ment that "Deadwood is in ashes," was
sent from Bismarck to nearly every city
in the East il the shape of newspaper
specials and by the Associated Press. The
line is down by Cheyenne and the news
has not yet got out that way. The wires
are so crowded with commercial business
that it is impossible to obtain the whole
particulars. Upwards of one hundred
dispatches Of this nature have been sent
today to St. Paul and Chicago wholesale
houses. The purport of them is about as
follows; "Send $4,000 worth of provis-
ions. f. ~
@ DEADwOOD IS ON FIRE;
my stock is now burning" "Ship imme-
sdiately $4,000 stock dry goods, Dead
wood is in ashes" '.The whole city is in
ashes, not business house being left

is outside of the city on barrel doing all
he can with an imperfect ground wire.
The wind is reported as being very high
and but short time was required to lay
the city IN ashes. Not only the business
houses are all burned but many of the

viding them with shelter and food.
