Beaverhead Cattle.

A. D. Young, an extensive stock
raiser Of Red Rock, Beaverhead
county, has been in the city this

beef cattle to our dealers. He re-
ports the stock on all the Beaverhead
ranges in fine condition, having win

miles of track remain to be laid.
There are twelve standard and six
teen narrow gauge railroads bidding
in Mexico, the former with IN aggre-
gate mileage of 1926 and the latter of
$40.
1t is probable that the next stop
ping place of the Northern Pacific
will be at Antoine's ferry; then at
the Agency, the end of Clark's Fork
division, and next at Missoula.
Iron Ridge tunnel, located between
Helena and Mullan tunnel, will be

generally suspended during the Sc.
we're weather of the past week.

the arrival of the tracklayers. Dur
ing the high wind storms of the last
few days, however, working on slip
perry timbers 100 feet in the air has
not been so desirable a point for
earning ones daily bread as might
be found, and we understand that
the boys knocked of.-Missoulian.

Shooting in the Park.

From Our regular correspondent, al
Mammoth Hot Springs. we are in
formed that on Monday night, at the
headquarters of the Park Improve
ment Company, David Kennedy,
n of the wOrkmen, shot Ames
Armstrong. It appears that all of
the workn,en have become dissatis-
fled, as they cannot get their pay, and
some of them quit work Sunday.
They sent for and received a keg of
whisky and commenced getting
drunk with due celebrity. and talk
became plenty. In a joke ARM
strong took away a pistol and knife
from Kennedy, who then used hard
language. Armstrong gave back
the pistol and at the same time
slapped Kennedy's face. The latter
told Armstrong not to hit him again.
Armstrong done SO and Kennedy in
stantly commenced shooting, one
bullet taking effect under the arm
and turned towards the back. The
other went into the hip and circied
around the bone. The wounds are
not dangerous, but will be painful
and long in healing. Kennedy has
