HORSE TH1EvrNe ExrRAonD4N
About Fort BGagaasaaAs.


Five or six days ago a party of soldiers
from Fort Maginnis under Il Sergeant wcla
laying out a hay reserve near Doyle's
place, on Box Elder creek; few miles
from the post. Their horses were grazing
near by aud with them mule turned out
70 Craze by Lieut.. Steel who was riding
the same from Rocky Point to the Fort.
LII broad day light about noon party OF
horse thieves made descent upon the
stock and drove it Off. Lieutenants Bell
and RucESer with detachment of fifteen
men are now hunting thieves, of which
party two men, Mae Donald and Ilift, are
strongly suspected TO be. They were seen
near the place not twenty minutes before
the horses disappeared and have not since
been near their ranch on Flat Willow.
Suspicion has long been attracted to them,
although those who know the men in
question are slow to believe that they have
abandoned their former high character for
honesty in this way. However that may
be, it is Macdonald and Ilif that the SOL
diers are after. .+I
4 short time since q tine grey horse, be-
long to Fort Maginnis. was stolen in a man
ner equally bold. The thief took the horse
down on the Musselshell and traded him
to some half-breeds, receiving four ponies
In return. Two Of them were afterwards
sold for money and the thief returned to
Maginnis and got on spree with the pro-
ceeds During his drunk he talked too
freely and let out enough for the authori-
ties to lock him up. His name is Ross.
I A man named Nelson, in hunting sto-
len horse, reports having come upon a
gang of thieves, some twenty-five Or thir-
ty In number, in the bad lands between
the post and the landing. They were all
armed, and as he rode up opened fire on
him, wounding the horse he was riding, a
fine animal belonging to Granville Stuart.
Whether this story is true or whether the
horses wound came from the accidental
discharge Of Nelson's pistol is q matter OF
doubt
There Is no doubt about there being a
large and well organized band OF horse
stealers in the country soutll Of us. Ey-
cry day we hear of some new outrage OF
character like these few instances mem
toned. Their operations extend to the
Musselst1ell and up and down the Missouri.
We hear that ranchmen are about to or
ganize against them-a move which seems
the only one to meet the situation. A few
Ehangings will benecessary before the thing
| is stopped. .

killing OF Johnny Rarr.

The particulars of the killing of John
darr by Mcdonald have just come to ua.
Ltaecured some three weeks ago at Harris
ranch on the Upper MusseIsheu.
1t appears that Mcdonald was riding
plst the ranch and pulled upa moment 10
speak with Harr, who was standing out-
side the door. As soon as Harr spied him
he commenced abusing Mcdonald as
horse thief, ordering him to leave. Me
Donald denied that he was after Harris
horses, but Harr would not listen and
seized his rifle. Mcdonald cried out to
him to stop but Harr persisted in skinning
his gun Whereupon Mcdonald drew his
rife and fired, shooting Harr through the
body. Although the shot was fatal one
Harr got the cover off his gun and was
about to return the fire when Mcdonald
put the second bullet through his head
killing him instantly. Mcdonald has
made no attempt at escape, doubtless
thinking, and reasonably enough too, Harr
would have killed him if he had not got
in his work first. Mcdonald is now In
the vicinity Of Maidenville.
