Accounts 70 cases of assault and battery
without number fill the local columns o1
the Billings papers.
The Duke of Edinburg has gone te
Kissenge for his health. He wanted tc
come to Hunters Hot Springs. but his
mother would not let him. She probably
feared that he might be seduced into the
cattle business, preferring to be Mon
tana cattle king than no king at all
Billings Herald
Early last winter two men, ones name
being O'Brien and the others name being
unknown, were hunting and trapping near
Pine Butte station, on tributary of the
Madison river O'Brien had three horses
and the other man one. When the snow
became deep the partner took tie horses
down to Virginia City, sold them, and
left the country. O'Brien has not been
seen nor heard of since, and it is surlnised
that his partner murdered him. Search
has been made but SO far no trace of the
missing man has been found.
On Friday afternoon, while Mr.. Jacobs,
of the Park stage station, II miles this
side of Butte, was moving a boiler of
boiling water onsthe kitchen stove, it was
upset and the entire contents were spilled
upon his two boys, aged eight and ten
years respectively, who were sitting on
the floor near the stove. The little fell
lows were horribly scalded about the arms,
legs and feet, but fortunately their faces
were untouched by the scalding water
Prompt medical attendance was secured,
and, although their sufferings have been
very great, they were, according to the
Miner, much more comfortable Saturday
night, and will recover. 81
The Northern Pacific road is gradually
receiving all it's rolling stock necessary for
the opening and the proper operation of
its lines. A few days ago two Great Mogul
engines from the Baltimore locomotive
works passed through Chicago, and are
now at Brainerd. Heretofore the compa-
ny has shipped its engines needed on the
Western division to San Francisco and
Portland, going by way of the Union Pa
cific road. 1t is understood that the latter
company charged the Northern Pacific
road $4,000 for the shipment Of each en-
gine. This charge was SO large that the
company decided to keep all the new
rolling stock at Brainerd until it could be
sent over the completed line.

ROAD AGENTS.
Stage Robbery on the West Side.

On the morning Of last Sunday the
coach which left Helena bound for Deel
Lodge was stopped on the road by masked
highwaymen, three in number, who robbed
the passengers, treasure box and mail
pouches. The driver tells the following
story:
1--WE were just going up the hill at Dog
creek when three fellows, masked, rose
up from behind log and with presented
guns ordered me to halt, and called to the
passengers at the same time to throw up
their hands. Each one of the robbers had
two six shooters. Besides his pistols one
Of them had double barrelled shot gun,
and another a Winchester rife. Well,
stopped One Of them then stepped to
the head of the leaders, while the other
two commanded the men in the coach to
get out and stand in line with hands up.
The order was obeyed. The robbers
went through the passengers pockets (tley
did not modest the ladies, however.) took
off the treasure box, and also two mail
pouches. After robbing the men of their
money, etc, and taking Sharp's rifle
away from one of them, they ordered
them back into the coach and told me to
drive on. The passengers said they lost
about $500. One of the ladies had about
$3.50 in her pocketbook, which she saved"
A telegram to Gilmer g. Salisbury's
agent resulted in starting pursuing party
shortly after the robbery, and the high
wayman's camp in the mountains was
found with the fire still burning. They
were tracked some distance until the
trail was lost, but not before it's general
direction indicated that the robbers were
travelling eastward across the range. A
reward Of $500 has been offered for their
capture by the governor and the amount
is supplemented by a liberal offer ON the
part of the stage company. The total
amount captured by the robbers cannot be
accurately estimated, as it was partly in
jewelry and the contents Of registered
mail packages. The passengers showed
no signs Of fight. One of them had a
seven-shooter Sharp's rifle in his hand
when the robbers called out to halt, but
he did not attempt to use it. The agent
says: ait is a mystery what in the devil
he carried gun for if he didn't have the
sand to use it, Another of the men on |
board wore $3.50 diamond ring. He had
kid gloves on which hid his ring and he
might have saved it if he had had any
nerve. But with that strange generosity
which some men show on occasions like
this, he kindly told the robbers he had q |
valuable ring which they might have if |
hey wished-and Of course they wished. |

Delegates From Michigan.

Among the present visitors to Living
ston are j. w. Rock J. A. McMarti1, who
come from that busy and wealthy manu.
featuring city of Muskegon, Michigan.
They come to Montana to spy out the land
of behalf OF a number of citizens of Musk
egon and Allegan, whose faces are turned
westward, and who only await informa-
ton upon which they can depend before
transferring their capital and energies to
the new west. They represent number
OF industries and such resources as will
make their presence most desirable ac-
QUESTION to the locality they may select.
Messrs. Rock and McMartin are greatly
pleased with Livingston, and frankly
'avow that it is the only town or section
in Montana that produced such favorable
impressions. In Livingston they see evil
dences OF present progress, and also such
indications as convince their wise judo-
ment that the town is to be place of
great permanent importance. Unaided
by counsel other than that of their own
observation, they have already concluded
that Livingston, from its many aalvan-
tages, is destined to occupy position far
in advance of the average western town.
They may visit western Montana, but will
Immediately report favorably to their
friends with regard to Livingston. and It
is highly probable that the report will be
acted upon. by the intending migrants
coming to make their homes in this town
and its vicinity. Before, returning east
ward Mcssrs. Rock and Nc Martin will
embrace the opportunity to visit the Ma
tonal Park.
