DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
4 WiscOnsin Farmer Kills Seven
W DIVES After q Terrible HtruKglS 3.

News have been received at Waupa-
ca, Wis, from the town Of Dayton of
q terrible encounter of man with
seven wolves. He is farmes, and
owns a large herd Of sheep. He went
out to drive them home tho other night,
aDd In passing a swamp he heard snar-
ling and barking. He had taken an
old musket along, thinking perhaps he
might shoot a partridge OF some small
game, and had it loaded with No. 4
shot. Not feeling unsafe he advanced
to-. ards the sound, and there saH two
old wolves and five three-quarter grown
whelps wraugling and fighting over
he dead body of a sheep He got to
within two rods Of them before they
heard him, when he fred into their
midst. Immediately the whole seven
came bounding towards him, and before
he had titue to climb tee they We're
full upon him. He reversed the gun
and used it for club. The fight last
ed au hour, and 40 savage were the
wolves that as one after arothsr Oftheir
number received ID death.stroke from
the old musket they roupced upon

devour him, at this JanCture the far
mer would rush iD with his gun and
kill another, hauling one or beth of
the dead bodies back to the tree hear
which the fight took place. He did
this. he afterwards said, to save their
carcasses, as there is bounty ofSll
on each wO.f killed in Waupaca county,
After the half hours skrmisE the seven
wolves lay dead at the taru.er's teet.
He was unable to carry their carcasses
home, so he took out large knife he
hsd in his pocket, skinned the whole
seven, saved their seven skulls, and to-
day applied to the County Clerk for his
ST bounty, besides obtaining fair
price for their skins. During The fight
h. had every bit of clothing torn from

crew of the schooner Daniel Webster,
which was crushed by ice near Point
Barrow. Captain Clifford confirms the
rep 'rt, published on the'2lst ull., that
the natives had seen wrecked shlp
far to tho eastward, also four white
lnen who were sick or dead. The par
rirulars of the wreck and the number of
men corresponded to The previous state

ant, but the distance between the two
points was TOO great to make the whole
account apply to that vsssel Captain
Winans thinks in this connection, that
Jeanette sought q north -east passage

that the Indians who reported the
wreck to Captain Clifford produced u

Making Clothing.

We begin with the cloth.
Not all the cloths in the
market by any means get
into our clothing. We Sc.
lect them with the best skill
we have and occasionally
for a particular purpose we
have a cloth made to suit US.
But we begin with the
cloths. They are looked
over, under and through TOR
spots and imper ections, the
spots and imperfectioas
marked to be avoided, the
cloths sponged. cut and Civ
en- out to be sewed. The
trimmings are looked after
as carefully as the cloths.
The silk to sew with too
never is a cloth seam sewed
with anything but silk-and
the silk is tested for strength
not every yard of it, but
some out of every lot,
And, when the clothes
come in from our makers to
be paid for, we look out for
blunders, for sighting, for
any lack whate, er. W hen
they are accepted, they are
paid for that very minute, in
cash. Th is promptness
keeps our work-people in
good heart even if we are
exacting.
That IS the course every
garment we have has gone
through. Its quality depends
on our capacity Tor manag-
ing our business.

THE WAR.
The Union Pacific Explains It's Ac-
ton in the Freight Matter.

The following circular was received by tie
MINER yesterday and copies were, likewise
received by the principal merchants and bust
ness men of Butte. As the circular fully ex-
plains itself common is unnecessary
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. Is, 1881.
GENTLEMEN: Owing to the complaints
which have reached us, that the recent ad
vance in rates for the transportation of cer-
tain articles of freight received from Califor-
mia, would result in an increased cost of such
articles TO the consumers, and thereby en-
nance the expense of food and render Mon
tana less desirable as a place of residence, we
have concluded to make a special reduction
for the transportation. from the east. of the
few articles regarding which serious complaint
has been made.
l would therefore respectfully state that we
will give you a special rate of $3.50 per 100
pounds for the transportation of rice and
green coffee, from either Chicago or ST. Louis
to Dillon or Melrose, and $1.25 from Omaha,
these rates to be held subject to change at
any time upon notice, and to expire without
notice, December 31st, 1881, if not sooner
repealed.
We know of no reason why our Montana
patrons should look exclusively to California
for supplies of this nature, and we desire to
make it an object for our friends to patronize
our line rather than to give their business to
a competing line for some 900 miles to haul,
and give lis only the comparatively short
haul from Ogden to Dillon or Melrose.
We think that our patrons will agree with
us, that we are justified in taking such meas.
ures as the protection of our interests may rem.
der necessary, in meeting a competition forced
upon us by the G. P. r. r. Co., under which
that line undertakes to transport freight from
San Francisco to Corinne or Ogden at less
than one-fOurth of the sum which it charges
for the delivery of similar freight at interme.
date points.
We desire to defeat the efforts of the c. p
r. Il. Co. to cut into the business legitimate
ly belonging to us, and we desire to do thi.
without any injury to our patrons or to the
people of Montana.
With their aid and cooperation this result
can be obtained much more easily than would
otherwise be possible. and we therefore re-
spectfully solicit your aid, and request tina
when prices do not compel you to discrimi-
nate against us, you will endeayor to so pur
chase your goods as to favor lis with thei
transportation over the entire length of ou
line. Yours truly, E. P. V1N1NG,
Genl Freight Agent

WORKED OUT GROUND.
No Patented Placer Ground Between
Butte and Silver Bow.

The question is asked, is there any mining
ground between Silver Bow and Butte. for
which Government patents have been OBJ
tanned We think not, and from inquiry
among many of the o]d-time placer miners of
this district, who are we'll acquainted with
the ground in questson, It is ascertained that
there is very little, if any, ground considered
worth going to the expense of patenting.
The "streak" has been worked entirely out
on most of this ground years ago. To satisfy
the inquiry as TO whether there is any PATENT
ed ground, all the surveyors have been inter-
viewed. Messrs. Baker & Harper say: awe
do not know of any patented gulch or bar
ground betw cen Butte and Silver Bow" Sur.
veyor Marsh said "There is not a foot OF
patented placer ground between Silver Bow
and Butte Messrs. Ringeling d Kellogg
say: "Mussigbrod d. Stolte have a patent of
about 100 acres at Silver Bow, but do not
know O any other patents perfected up the
creek toward Butte" From this it appears
that there is no ground after leaving Silver
Bow that is patented. The claim that the
Railway is passing over ground that is pat
ented and valuable is, therefore, g%roundless.
As to the value of the ground claimed, in
quiry develops the fact that most of it has
been worked out, and that aside from a fe"
''spots' here and there, the masa of the
ground would not pay white men to work
Surely ground of this kind is not worth much
money. If it is worth anything the Railway
Company should pay what 1t is worth. Two
bitches cover this ground, and the owners Of
those bitches have not been able to sell water
to work the ground for several years past, al.
though water has been offered at the low
rate OF five cents per inch. Now, if this
ground is comparatively worthless, is it no
unreasonable to call on the Railway Company
or the merchants and business men of Butte
to pay big sums for it,
