The CANAL-A General Aduancc
of -F.ve Cents Freight to Boatmem-
For some time past the boatmen have
represented to the companies that
they could not afford to continue
boating at the prevailing rate, 95
cents, and it was generally UNDER
stood that unless an advance was
given most Of the boatmsn would tie
up and stop loading. The compan-
les recognized the difficulty, and with
in the past few days the principal
shippers hava advanced freights s
cents, SO that the prevailing rate is
now 81. This is paid by the New
Central, Consolidation and Georges
Creek companies, and the American
company pays $l.05 to Alexandria.

will also advance to ST.. 1t is a mat
ter of general congratulation that the
advance was given by the companies,

The Red Devils Paid Back in Their
Own Coin.

=
George Outhwait, a buffalo hunter on
the %Porcupine, says the Yellowstone Jour
nal, not long ago had two horses stolen
from his camp by Indians. George discov-
cred his loss, and taking the trail, followed
them up, and in a few days came up with
the band of Indians as they were going
into camp. Carefully concealiug himself
behind Il butte, he watched the Indians
unsaddle their horses aud turn them loose
to Craze, among which he saw the TWO
horses which had "a few days ago been
stolen from him. Patiently he watched
until night came on, and as the Indians
feared no pursuit at so distant a day,
they all rolled themselves up in their
blankets around the fire and went
to sleep. This was the
our brave hunter was waiting for, and
stealthily stealing from his hiding place,
he gLded steadily down a coulee to near
where the band Of horses were feeding.
At last he reached his horses, and quickly
iarlating them, he singled out five more of
the best horses in the herd and drove
them out on the prairie and thence
to his camp. In the morning
when the Indians awoke from their
slumbers they were surprised to find
that the stolen horses which they had
turned ont in the herd the night before
were missing, and also five more of the
best ponies had accompanied them. George
soon reached his camp, and is now the
happy possessnr of five more head of
horses than before the raid by the Indians,
