Among matters of public interest,
motion was carried inviting the Sun

kin association in issuing call Tor a
convention of cattle g. 1oWers, 10 be held
at Benton (blank dabe) for the purpose
of discussing the cattle Interests OF the
territory and effecting some measure or
organization for the better peotectlon
and advancement of that industry.
This is move in the right direction,
and timely one, ae it will enables the
stockmen in council to determine upon
the measures necessary to be brought
before the next legislature and arrange
matters to that end. The sheep indus
try, which represents only one-third of
the capital invested in cattle, was justly
favored at the last term by the enact
ment Of the scab law, and it is only fair
that the cattle interest should De IN turn
considered, as it is undoubtedly the
chief item of our territorial wealth.

A Eeminlscence.

We were entertained yesterday with
a graphic account, by an old timer, of
the hanging OF the first and only man
that ever swung in Fort Benton by the
execution Of a judgement of citizens
court. This was in the early days of
1865. Frenchy, was the victims street
name and il his mother ever gave him
a more specific one it had not drifted
out west with its owner. Frenchy had
been accused while in Helena, before
this tragedy, in which he was the prin-
cipal actor, of rohbing a Chinaman and
several other little villainous eccentrici-
ties. AS was often the case in these prim-
tive days, he had joined the ylgalante
in order TO hide his rascality under this
thin guise Of being law and order man.
A bull-Whacker, who had been carrying
around too heavy load of benzine, had
laid down in the street to take little
rest and was "rolledu by the versatile
Frenchy, who had just returned from
his Helena exploits in the same line.
The unwilling victim was conscious of
the robbery and pretended to be in
drunken sleep that he might escape be-
ing knitted, as he certainly would have
been If suspected of being conscious.
The robbed man made known the facts
in the case to some of the energetic cit
liens the next morning and scheme
was then and there worked up to play q

4 Trouble With Indians.

LIVINGSTON, October 11.-Various ru-
mors are going the rounds about trouble
that IS brewing near Glendive between
the Indians and stockmen About 800
Indians are out, it is said, and have re-
fused to obey the order sent them to re-
turn to the reservation. Troops have
therefore been dispatched to compel
them to come back. Other rumors have
also been coming of trouble on the but-
falo range between the Indians and
hunters. in which there is likely to be
more Or less bloodshed before the matter
is through with. In one case party of
a hundred or more Indians burned q
large tract Of prairie to prevent the
hunters from getting near the buffalo.
The hunters were Of course exasperated,
and many threats of vengeance were
heard. 1t is said that these difficulties
are only a repetition of those that occur

SALT LAKE, October 13.-Elder VIM.
Palmer, president of the Mormon mis-

sofa, arrived at Salt Lake to-day, bring
ing with him thirty converts TO the
church. He says the feeling in those
states towards the Mormons is very Bit
ter, especially in Indiana, where Elders
Marks and Davis were tarred and feath-
cred. No elder has labored in that state
during the past season without being
subjected to insults and outrages. In
many instances the Mormons were pelt-
ed with rotten eggs and tobacco quids
while preaching. He thinks the feeling
against the Mormons in the east worse
than ever before.

escape from the .pcnitenliary this after
noon. Four got over the wall and one
