Editors of the RIVER PRESS.
SIRs: IF you have no information con-
corning the late movement or expedition
ordered in pursuit of Indians who raided
on the upper Marias river, some facts re-
garding it may be Of interest.
AS O as information was received
as to locality of depredations at Whoop-
Up crossing, or in that vicinity, two
troops of cavalry were ordered out, with
wagons escorted by n company OF
infantry, under command Of Capt. +.
Norwood. The officers with the com

|manding III troop; Lieut.. Fuller com
manding L troop, Second cavalry; Lieut.

master. The command proceeded rap
idly as far as Sage creek and were storm
bound for a day. While preparing fo7
q move they received orders from Col
| Ilges to return as he had received lnfor
nation that the Indians and stolen stocf
were reported as having been heard from
at Fort Walsh.

w. G. Conrad and L. E. Collins were

Mr.. Choate's Meeting.

Mr.. Geo. Choate, feeling aggrieved at
the provisions of the incorporation bill
in regard to the qualifications of voters,
Yesterday s.hired a hall" and issued
handbills calling on all those disfran-
chised to attend and give vent to their
opinions thereon. Quite a number at
tended last night to see the fun, and MI.
Choate addressed them in burning Ian
guage on the deprivation of their rights
as free and independent American citi-
zens. On the conclusion Of his remarks
MI. w. III. Hunt was called on and pro-
ceeded to address the meeting. The re-
port of his eloquent speech is as follows:
mi. President: (kerchew) We are
peppered! (kerchew) We are (kerchew)
cayenned! By the great Ingerson we
are (kerchew)' and the audience made
precipitately for the door to get out OF
the pepperish atmosphere. Some mis-
creant had thrown o lot of cayenne pep
per on the stove, and it is needless to say
the meeting adjourned without motion.

| such q dose that it made him vomit after
he got into the street.

the Second Night of Romeo and Juliet.

The second appearance of u Benton
dramatic amateurs was greeted by a
anlendid house which evidenced the APP
preciation with which their first rendi-
ton of the travesty of Romeo and juliet
was received. The laughter and APP
plause which greeted the actors soon
after the rising of The curtain continuing
at brief intervals until the last line had
been recited, the last chorus sung. New
er did a Benton audience disperse in q
iollier humor than last evening; never
were actors more cordially, more enthu-
siastically complimented.
Where all acquitted themselves with
abundant credit it would be superfiuous
to specify individual merit, and as to
criticism we were too thoroughly captl-
waited to give expression to any sentiment
but that of hearty congratulation. The
boys did MOLLY, and it is the general de-
sire that at an early day they may favoI
us again.

Matrimonial.

Last Wednesday, at Mr.. Jackson's res
on the Missouri bottom, near Rock
creek, VIM. Mulcahy and Miss Clara
Emma Bray were married by Rev. MI.
Mills. Mr.. Mulcahy, who is one of the
wealthy residents of Sun river valley,
last year commenced the erection OF one
of the finest residences in that section,
and it is all finished and handsomely
furnished for the reception of its fair
mistress. The RIVER PRESS, in COM
mon with Mr.. Mulcahy's many friends
in Benton, sends congratulations and
best wishes for the future happiness of
the newly welded pair.

Fine Sheep.

We received a pleasant call from Hon.
E. Beach yesterday, and learned from
him many interesting facts in regard to
his fine band of French merino sheep,
on upper Sun river. Two years ago Mr..
Beach imported 700 of these sheep from
California and Is rams. They cost him,
laid down, $3.50 per head. He sold all
last years rams, some 80 in all, at $2o
per head, and has 800 more to sell this
wear. Besides his profit from these
rams, which will more than repay his
first investment, he sheared over IL
pounds of wool last year to the head,
and will do equally as well this season.
The average sheep shears only SIX
mounds to the head, so that each OF these
thoroughbreds yields in wool, at % cents
per pound, about S1.75 more than the
ordinary sheep. AS the sheep are hardy
and require but little more attention
than those of the ordinary kind, it is
evident that these thoroughbreds are
decidedly the best investment. Not
w%ithstandlng his sales of last year, Mr.
Beach has 1882 ewes and rams left, O
about double his herd of two years ago

The River.

The river at Bismarck Tuesday even
ing was higher than any time yet and
rising gradually, owing to a gorge be-
low Sibley island. The gorge at the
mouth of Hart river caused that stream
to back up over the track at Mandan,
but by the use of dynamite, the hanne
was cleared somewhat, and at last &C
counts there was little water on the rail-
road track or the west shore.
The river at Yankton has fallen three
feet, and there are reports of the forma-
ton of a gorge above. Parties from the
vicinity of Frankfort say the people are
moving off the bottoms, but this can
hardly be true, as there can be no
danger.
The steamer Josephine will leave
Yankton for Ft. Benton on the 9th OF
April and the steamer Rosebud on the
10Th of March, also for Fort Benton

A subterranoan Cave Found in Bridger
y

VIM. kirtman, who arrived here last
night, brought news of the discovery OF
a ave in Brldger canyon this week. He
and a number of men were getting out
timber on the hillside, and a tree had
been felled over a clump of underground.
Kirtman went into the brush to top the
log. and was ~astonished to see an open
ing; the fat stone serving as a covering
having been broken by the tree IN It's
fall. A set of rude stone steps were seen
leading into the earth. Kirtman and a
companion provided themselves with a
torch and descended the steps. They
found themselves in a chamber about
twenty feet square, the walls and ceiling
ornamented with hieroglyphics. A
number Of chairs of rude workmanship
and rough tables crumbling to decay
were in the room. There was also an
assortment of implements and tools,
such as were in use two centuries or
more ago. AT the east end was found
an index pointing toward the other side
| of the chamber, with an inscription be
meath. BY sounding, the explorers
found what is evidently a door, but they
were unable to open it, as it presents the
same appearance as the remainder of the
rocky side. Kirtman and his men in
tend exploring the find Sunday, ano
will extend their operations by blasting
out the doorway. "A party will leav'
here at s o'clock Sunday morning; start
ing from Fridley's stable, and solne in
teresting discoveries are looked for.

Cattle Thieving.

Acting Deputy Sheriff Partridge, says
the Herald, has lodged in the county
Jail George Kelly, charged with stealing
and killing cattle belonging to the Sun
River Stock association. The officer also
brought in a half breed, who is one OF
the witnesses to testify against the pris-
oner. Kelly was surprised and arrested
in a shack in a remote and secluded spot
on the south fork of the Dearborn, where
he imagined himself secure from discov-
ery. Other arrests, it is thought, will
follow. Cattle thefts in Lewis n
Clarke and Choteau counties have been
considerable the past winter, and ener-
getic measures are necessary to suppress
them. Let no guilty man escape.

OF PUB. INSTRUCTION,
Helena, March 2S, 'S3. }
To all School Officers and Electors m
Montana:
Having been informally requested by
several school officers in different parts
of the territory to eonstrue the amend
ment to section 11O8 of Montana school
laws, I.take this public method OF deeld-
ing officially that it is not the intent or
the law that the terms of all the present
trustees that terminate, and that a full
board of three trustees shall be chosen at
the general school election to be held IN
each district on Saturday, April Z, prox.
ONLY one trustee is to be elected, and
that one whose term would have expired
on the last Saturday in August, will now
expire on the first Saturday in April.
New clerks will also need to be elected
in April as would have been required IN
August. But as the law does not pro-
vide, as in the case of trustees, that the
term of district clerks shall expire on the
election of their successors, / should say
that the old clerks hold for the full term
for which they were elected or till the
first Saturday in August.
Under the old law the rightof suffrage
was confined to "electors qualified to
vote at any general election" This re-
striction does not appearin the new law
Only twenty days residence in the terri
tory is needed, instead of six months.
The right of suffrage is extended to all
'taxable residents and inhabitants"
not, as sometimes construed, to those
who actually pay q tax, but such as W
property which is liableto tax under the
law Women are made voters at schoo
elections on the same terms with men
and are also equally eligible to the office
of trustee or clerk.

tt is evident now that we missed a
good deal of fun by not being a city long
ago.
Mike Lynch wanted to vote, but the

John Green was unanimously voted a

Every city has its "bloodyn ward, and
in our case the honor seems TO De con-

Billy Rowe says he has got the dead

Mayor Conrad made two speeches
during the evening-one thanking the
convention for the honor conferred, etc.,
and the other inviting the boys into

was greeted with rounds of applause.
Conventions, it is evident, can be as

by the fact that the meeting adjourned

Our United states Senator.

% Vu6 IJQlJOE6 VI tuc 0dLcbbcs
Oar Legislature this winter will be
called on to elect United States Sena-
tor 10 take the place of Senator Pendle-
ton. The voice Of the people in this re-
gion is 20 make Senator Pendleton his
own successor. He is the choice of both
the Democrats and Republicans, the lat
ter arguing that if We must have Dem
ocrat in tue Senate from this State, they
have State pride in being represented by
high toned gentleman. Mr.. Pendle-
ton was Democrat when it cost some
thing to be Democrat; he has been o
Democrat In season and out Of season,
and has made fewer mistakes than any
other public man for the past twenty
years.
Mr.. Pendleton is man who has prov
ed himself statesman; we have a great
many politicians, but statesmen are
scarce. Ohio ought to be prord OF her
Dem ocratic Senator. / perceive that q
set Of small politicians led by the En-.
quirer are doing all they can toward IN
dermining the peoples affection for Sen.
ator Pendleton. Yet the Legislature can
elect no man from the State who can
have the same influence anu experience
in legislation in two years that Senator
Pendleton has to-day. His genial and
courtlV manner makes him popular with
his colleagues, who would, regardless OF
politics, support him in any reasonable
nessure he might introduce.
perceive that the plans Of these NAL.
contents is TO Introduce and advocate
Henry B: Payne as the proper man to
divide the Legislature in the election OF
Senator. Mr.. Payne, lam glad to learn,
will not permit himself to be used in de-
feating an old friend. Then, too, the
age OF Mr.. PAYNE is against him There
are few men over seventy years of age
whose faculties sre not on the waue.-
That is why Generals In our army are
retired at 81 and Judges of Courts are
retired by law at from 65 to 10. The
people expect that our Legislature viii
