JUNCTION CITY. CUSTER Co.. NJ. IT,
May l, 1879.
Editor Arant Courier:
Believing your newspaper to be the
champion of right as you see the right,
and the exposer Of evil and evil doors
when they are known, | take the liberty of
exposing one of the latter. The circ,m-
stances are these: Mr.. James Stearns is
Tor was) the owner Of shepherd dog. one
that he valued very highly for his intrinsic
worth, having paid S25 tor him when a
puppy; in addition to his real value. when
the Indians attacked him in his cabin a
short time ago. the dog fought mantutiy
for his master. attacking one of the saw
ages, and compelling him to turn his at
tention TO his defense. Mr.. Stearns owes
his life to his gallant dog.
Now for the gist Of this communication.
On the evening Of April 3Oth MIR. Don
Hubble, son of Mr.. Hubble, of the firm
of BrOadwater, Hubble & Co.. was pas
senger in the stage bound for Miles City.
This dog ran out from the cabin door and
playfuliy barked at the passing vehicle.
Mr.. Hubble drew his revolver and shot
poor ''Shep." Next morning two little
boys found him where he lad dragged his
weary way. searching for his master, and
wonn, led so badly that another ball was
mercifully sent through his brain to end
his suffeiings. 1
Dir. Hubble had no occasion to perpe-
lrate this outrage-nay. he had no excuse
even, and could he realize the feelings of
his community. he wonld rather have the
reputation of the dead Dig than the live

render their attractions to the settler such
as would. in a short time. make it one OF
the garden spots Of the continent. The
entrance OF the road into the eastern por-
ton of orr Territory will mark new era
in our Development. and will DC fIaught
with suc! material consequences that they
can hardly be adequately described. We
need hardly avert TO tie fact that all other
portions of our Territory wo;lld equally
feel the impetus that would first be inaug-
ulated in the fertile valleys of the Yellow
stone. In former times we have done full
justice to tie many advantages which
would accrue TO Montana by the compile
tion of the Northern Pacific to and across
,,lir borders. We hope that no untoward
legislation by Congress will prevent the
company from carrying forward to cOm-
pIe'ion their great undertaking. Indeed.
we hazard nothing in saying that our en-
tire mercantile. mining and agricultural
population would unite in urging Major
MaginniS to use every means in his power
consistent with his position to prevent any
such legislation. providing the company
will continue the advance of the road as
the president in his letter says they mean
to do. With the Northern Pacific slowly
but gradually reaching forth its iron arms
toward us from the east. and the Utah and
Northern coming to us with giant strides
from the south. il will be but short time
before Montana will be able to Indignantly
resent the impn'ation of being outside the
.rcnial intllicucrs of civilization"

OF the Northern Pacific railroad heretofore.
and of the fair promises which they made
to us only to be broken, there is no doubt
bat that any action Of the company look
ing to speedy completion of the road will
be looked upon by our whole people with

The most striking example Oh record of
rapid recognition of merit is afforded in the
case of Congressman Ladd of the Fourth
District. As soon as be got to Washington,
and before the House had done anything ex-
cept organize, Democratic correspondent
in Washington sent word to Boston paper
that Representative Ladd of Maine has
already attained the reputation of being one
of the most active, energetic and hard-work-
ing members of the House." The story of
the German princeling who was given the
colonecy of regiment before he was old
enough to wear breeches isn't a circum-
stance to this. Mr.. Ladd was not born a
Congressman, but he takes front rank in the
House even before he takes his seat. He
must have given tete and invited the cor
respondent and filled him up-with tales ol
the hard work he had done in Congress.
