The majority of tourists travel by wag-

The committee appointed to interview

A Salt Lake special dated the 4th con
tains the following strange and not very
credible story: Information was re-
ceived in this city to-day Of the stand
ing up by road agents Of Lon Rivers,
a~Etraveling man, who was on his way
in from the Yellowstone Park through
Beaver canyon. They made him throw
up his hands and then tied him to a
wagon wheel and went through his
pockets, taking his watch and money.
They kept him under guard over night,
and after discovering that he was a
Knight of Pythias released him, return
ing him his money and watch and tell
ing him he was not the party they were
looking for and that they regretted his
capture. They said they were laying
for eastern fellows travelling that way
who had money to spare"
A special correspondent of the Pioneer
Press sends the following very CHEEKY
report of the crops in the Gallatin val
ley: After a full nvas of the crops
of the Gallatin valley, it is found that
fully $4,000 acres are in crop at the
present time. All this is in wheat and
oats &c, 900 acres of wheat and 40,
acres of oats. Most Of the grain has
been irrigated twice, and the condition,
as compared with last year, stands fully
12O per cent. Old ranchmen say no
such crop was ever before raised in the
valley. The spring wheat fields are in
the flower, and the heads are SO thick
and large as to completely cover the
leaves from sight. Hundreds of fields
will run from forty-eight to sixty bush
els per acre right through, while some
some of the oat fields show up we'll for
a biblicaly yield of "a hundredfold." The
Gallatin will stand at the head of North
ern Pacific reports this year. As there
are never bugs, rust or blight here, you
may count this crop in as though it
were harvested.

THE RIVER PRESS
THE READY
Jack James Shot and Killed by l.. S. Lea
WITT at Barker Junction.

From Gus Shaffer, superintendent of
the Barker stage line, we learn the par
ticulars of a murder at Barker Junction
which occurred Monday:
L. S. Leavitt owns a ranch on upper
Otter creek which was leased this year
by Jack James. They have not agreed
upon some business matters and from
time to time have had their disputes.
Monday the old quarrel was renewed at
Barker Junction, where they CHANGED
to meet. James had a picket rope in
his hand upon the end of which was a
pin, and he struck at Leavitt with this,
when the latter drew his revolver and
fired the fatal shot. The bullet took eff
feet in the center of the forehead, caus-
ing instant death. There were two or
three witnesses to the affair. and it is
claimed that the deed was done in self
defense. However, if the statement of
facts are as we have learned them it is
pretty hard to see just where the self
defense comes in.
The Barker coach came along soon
after the shooting, and as it happened,
Sheriff Cameron of Meagher county vas
a passenger. Leayitt gave himself into
the custody of the sheriff and was taken
to Barker, where he will have a prelim-
mary examination before a justice of the
peace.
Both parties were we'll known in Ben
ton. James was a single mar about IS
years of age, and had lived on Otter
creek two or three years. He was not
deemed a bad man by any means. We
believe he had no relatives in this coun-
try and had intended to take a trip to
his home in England this fall. His I'M
timely fate will be regretted by many of
our readers.

they gave a big tea dance, and to-day
gave a Sioux dance. They marched up
from their camp by files Of tWos to the,

gave another dance which lasted one
hour. Their drums were furions all the
time, and they never stopped dancing
during the whole hour. 1t was a great

wal costumes, some with horses tails to
represent horses. After they had fin

they went to the suffers store and gave

their camp, mounted their ponies and
went up to the store and got a supply of
tea, sugar, etc, and started back for Bel

The Flour Product.

The following is furnished by the North
aCeSteY7a Miller, for this week:
The situation on the platform can not
be said to be very animated. Everyone
seems to recognize that milling is dull,
and the actions of all, as well as their 90 /
versation, imparts an air of depression.
About sixteen mills are in operation, but
there are very few that are run to their
full capacity, the greatest number making
as little -four as they conveniently can
without sacrifice to quality. The
average daily production for the
week will not exceed 10000
barrels, 1t being more likely that the out
put will fall below this amount than other
wise. This is falling of of about 1000
barrels per day as compared with last
week. There is no particular change in
the flour market from last week, the inquiry
having been very much lessened by the
weakness and low prices of wheat, millers
firmly maintaining old prices, notwith-
standing the clamOr of Eastern buyers for
concessions. As the stocks in the East are
being steadily reduced, and have already
reached point very low, our millers are
confident that there has got to be a change
soon, and as far as we can learn, this
version is shared by many Eastern
dealers.
