Yellowstone county is beginning its
career with good financial record. Its
warrants are worth one hundred cents on
the dollar, and there is sufficient money
in the treasury to pay all bills allowed by
the Commissioners.
Complaint was made to the board of
commissioners yesterday afternoon that
the cattle men are impeded in driving
their herds down the Tongue river by
ranchmen obstructing the road with
fences. It proves that the road up the
river which cost the county many thous-

To secure definite road will require an
application to be made according to legal
form to the December session of the
board.-Miles City Press.

grew indignant, jumped on cayuse, rode
down and routed the graders, horse, foot,
scraper and plow. For this armed inter-
ference he has been sued for $4,000
damages. It is understood he will file a
counter claim, asking an award of sum
rebly as large as that claimed by the
.ailroad company.-Courier.
