Elae Nevy Benton Cemetery.

Mr.. Charles Griffith was engaged al
day yesterday, and the day before, In ma
king 4 survey OF the=ezterior lines Of the
new. Benton cemetery. The. directors OF
the cemetafy propose to fence il about
tWentE-six acres they haYesfiled, hoWeY-
er, ia the Land Office, at HeIella, on about
eight acres. intending eventually to ex-
tend their fence 50 as to incltfde their en-
tire claim. The 1andnoW To be. fenced, is
in the shape Of a paralellograna, and is
858x2300 feet. The manner Of subdiyis-
ion Of lots i not yet.deei5la1 upon, but the
intention, however, is to deviae a certain
portion Of the ground into family burial
lots and also to provide. PORTIONS Of the
ground for the use Of sIle Yal.iohs religious
denominations, .an51. for the Odd Fellows
and Free Mssons, and othelssociesies that
may desire separate burial grounds. The
lots viii be stahe@l Oh, completed and lots
offered lor sale within . month from the
date Of this issue Of tic. RECoRD. The
want Of q cemetery has long been felt
in Benton, and the site selected Is on the
bluffs Immediately north offhe town. oYer-
loolSingthe Missouri and is ore that
could rot bee1eeHed for natural beauty.
We are also Indirectly Informed that the

The Piegam IRaezlan1ss

From statements made by a party of
Plegan Indians who were in town yester-
day they seem to be in deplorable condi-
ton. They represent that they can not
get anything to eat at the Agency and re-
fuse to return there. There seems to be
no relief for them, as there is no game in
the country for them to subsist on, and for
the better protection of our stock interests
a meeting Of the Board of Trade should be
held that proper representations be made
to the authorities that some measures may
be taken to prevent their starvation. With
the countless herds Of cattle that are upon
the ranges adjacent to their reservation 1t
is not. to be expected Of them that in the
face of long winter that they will hesi-
tate to kill cattle for food, and while the
recent arrest Of some Of them for killing
cattle has had a good effect, still to save
the killing Of more and a consequent stir
ring up Of bad feeling amongst them and
the possibility Of serious complications,
some action should be taken at once
amongst those deeply interested, and we
think this whole community have suffici-
ent at stake to take the matter III hand,
and who can more consistently and prop
erly take it in hand than the Board of
Trade? This is no light matter and we
hope that some Immediate action will be
taken before it is too late. An ounce Of
preyention, gentlemen, and it looks now
as though the problem with the Indian is
whether to kill cattle or starve.

Froasa Fort w alsza.

From q gentleman just from Fort Walsh
and vicinity, we learn that the South Pie
gan Indians belonging to the Blackfoot
agency, under the supervision Of Major
John Young, are doing an immense deal
Of mischief in the vicinity OF Fort Walsh
and Medicine Hat. They are running off
horses belonging to the ranchanen, Cana
dian Pacific railroad, and Police. This
state Of things should bo corrected at once,
and some effort made by the authorities Of
this government to prevent their wards
from invading the Territory and despoil-
ing our neighbors Of their property. Par.
ties whose horses have been stolen have
gone TO the Black foot agency, and asked
Maj. Young for permission to take horses
that were known 50 be in the Piegan
camp. They were told that they could
take their horses II the police Indians
would let them. On the other hand, the
action Of Col. Irvine and Capt. Cotton in.
returning horses stolen from this side Of
the line, has been prompt and active, aud

The average citizen is probably not
aware that this county has the most Sc
cure and complete Jail of any in the Ter
ritory. 3ut such is the case. The iron
cages that are in the center of the main
building are model ofstrength and duca-
bility, and are divided into cells sufficient
to accommodate all the prisoners that are
ever in the jail, in this our law-abiding
community. The iron work will ba
painted white, which will give it very
neat appearance. The Jail door which is
double and supplied with Il combination
lock on the outside door, will be put III pc
sition soon in lieu of the wooden door
which now serves to bar the egress of the
law breaker. The County Commissions
ers are deserving the thanks Of the people
of the county for their work in this case.

TheI eIBelt Creek Bridge.


The Belt creek bridge is being pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible by the
contractors, Messrs. Griffith 6 Caldwell.
AS some fears are expressed that the crib
to be placed in the middle Of the creek will
not stand, the contractors state that it will
not be put in unless good solid bed rock
can be found to which to bolt the crib to,
and they are Investigating now TO see if it
can be found.
The bridge is being built under the per-
sonal supervision Of Mr.. Ford Caldwell,
and the work will becarried on until it is
completed, affording safe crossing in the
spring over this stream, which is one of the
most dangerous in the country when
swollen by the spring freshets.

fashionable young men in Austin. and

he thinks is the finest horse in the world.
Young Seabury was Dragging about his
horse to a crowd of acquaintance the

improbable things. that the horse went
so fast on the previous day that he over
took swallow, the horses ear striking
the bird.
.'Are you sure the swallow was not
coming from the opposite direction?"
asked Gilhooly, with the air of man
who wanted TO know.
..Of course he WON'T was the indig-

to build her nest in your horses ear.

could not see he was moving. Wonder

Robert Welch, a farmer living one
mile east of town, was rolling piece Of
plowed land the other day with pair
of oxen as the motive power. In some
way he was caught under the roller,
and the team stopped when half way
over him. There they stood quietly
chewing their cud until he had nearly
dug himself out, when they deliberately
started and pulled the roller up on his
shoulders and stopped again. Their
standing so long in one place attracted
the attention of neighbors at work in an
adjoining field. and they went over and
relieved WEIGH from his unpleasant
position. He had been under the roller
for nearly an hour. He was not hurt.
but very dusty. and hiiching up his
oxen went on with his work. but was
careful not to get caught under that
roller again with those oxen.-Dover
