either that OR houses are not a. safel]
constructed as formerly, or. as il
more probable, that greater careless
oess exists on the part Of persons
owning insured property.
The Chronicle also publishes a very
interesting map showing the geograph
ical distribution OF fires, and the pei
centage Of FIRE losses to the total vslu
alton Of property. The State oil
Maryland has by long odds the besl
place on this map. losing only 10 cents
by fires each year TO every 800 o.
property. There are altogether three
States IN this first class-Maryland
Rhode Island and West Virginia =
which must be the paradise Of insur
ance companies, for fires are few and
the losses are light Louisiana IS il
the third class. averaging an annual
loss OF % cents 10 each 500 OF prop
erty. Last in the list are the fan
Western States and Territories-Ne
yads, Arizona and Dakota where
the annual losses from Ere exceed
per cent
The geographical distribution Of
losses seems to follow no distinct rule
or law, and il is very difficult TO dis
cover on what A. depends Why
should West Virginia be 50 much
safer a ainst Ere than New York?
Why should Idaho be at the head Of
the list and Nevada at the other end,
unless it be that the people Of that
Territory are less careless? As we
have shown before a great majority Of
fires are due to gross. almost criminal
carelessness, end that section seems to
suffer from this visitation least where
people take the proper precautions,
without regard to the climate, or even
to the material Of which the houses
are built. Iron, brick and stone in
New York are less safe than the log
houses OF Wisconsin and Alabama.

Fort Macleod Gazette Items.

The citizens at Calgary are ~negotiat-
ing for a cricket match with the police
at Macleod. 1t is proposed to play at
the latter place on the Oath of May. We
trust that the boys here will accommo-
date them.
The Messrs. Maunsell have from time
to time missed cattle, and the Piegan
Indians are suspected of having killed
them. We understand that the police
detachment at Pincher creek will be
stationed in the vicinity Of that reserve.
Alex. Doyle, the agent in charge Of
the Fish creek supply farm, was, some
time since, arrested Tor purloining gov
eminent oats and forging pay sheets.
He was let out on bail, but forfeited it
and skinned out for the land of free
dom.
It is expected tina. the steamer being
built at the coal banks by the North
western coal and Navigation Company
will be finished in about two months.
She will then be foated down to Medi-
cine Hat, where her machinery will be
put in, and her first trip will be up the
river to Macleod, if depth of water will
permit.
Staff Sergeant Homer brought in a
blood Indian from the Blackfoot cross
ing on Monday. This Indian is believ-
ed to be the me who actually shot Bell
& Patterson's cattle. The sergeant took
him by surprise in the midst of the
storm, through which he travelled to
effect the arrest.

The Billiard Tournament.

There are eight or nine gentlemen in
Benton who play a very ever game of
billiards with each other, and a tourna-
ment between them has been talked of
for ONE time. A few days ago it was
arranged, and the following gentlemen
agreed to take part, viz: S. G.. Edgerton,
attorney; John G. Tut, lately book
keeper with Murphy, Maclay & Co.; w.
IL. Kanouse, bookkeeper in Bank of
Northern Montana; H. B. Hill, book
keeper in First National Bank; Col. j..
J. Donnelly, attorney and ex-speaker of
the house of representatives, and Jas. e.
Stevens, Of the RIVER PRESS. Several
others will come in, and it will be seen
that it is simply a trial of skill among
gentlemen amateurs. Sporting men are
barred.
The game played is the three-ball, Is
points. Three games were played last
night. at the Grand Union Hotel, where
the games will be played every evening
until completed.
The first game was between Messrs.
Edgerton and Tut, and was won by the
former with a score of IS to II.
The second game was between Tut
and Stevens, Mr.. Tut winning with rs
to Sc.
The third and last game of the even
ing was between Stevens and Kanouse,

Keep It in Your Room

Where it will be ready for any and all
emergencies and don't forget that it is
the remedy in all cases Of catarrh, ner-
vousness, blood poison, general debility,
female weakness, kidney and urinary
diseases, salt rheum, erysipelas, scrofula
and all diseases of the blood. In diph-
liberia it has proven a wonderful success.
Taken in double doses, and at once upon
the first. symptoms of the disease, it will
give instant relief. In that case let the
medicine adhere to the throat as much
as possible by gargling itand do nottake
water after. It you do not like the taste
eat a peppermint drop after, and that
will take the taste away. DR.. e. B. Hal

MORE DEvIlTRY.
Seventeen Horses Taken by the Th1eving
Crees-Troops in Pursuit.

Wednesday morning John Galbraith,
who resides some twenty-eight miles
from this city, on the Teton, came to
town aud reported that the night before
Indians, presumed to be Crees, went to
Herron's stable, but could not get in,
and from there went to Galbraith's herd
and drove off seventeen head of horses.
Mr.. G. got what supplies he needed for
b trip and started in the afternoon for
the Northwest to en1eavor to recover
his horses with the aid of the mounted
police.
The other day, when the news reach
ed here OF the party of Piegans going
out to steal horses, q citizen of Benton
telegraphed the fact to Col. Ilges, at AS
sinaboine, and received the following
answer:
/ thank you for your information.
which is particularly important and use
full to me now. We must put a stop to
this horse stealing. 1LGEs,
Lieut.. Col. Comd'g.
Yesterday the same gentleman tele-
graphed to the colonel the news of Gal
braith's loss, and as will be seen by the
following he has taken prompt steps to
head Off the marauders, if possible:
Capt. Norwood, commanding troop
l., I'd Cavalry, starts with his command
and Indian scouts for the boundary line
IN about fifteen minutes, and will prob
ably intercept the raiders. He will
make a night march. ILGEs,
1t. Col. Comd'g.
Col. Ilges is doing all that lies in his
power to prevent these raids and punish
the thieves, but, as we have heretofore
maintained, his force cannot guard the
whole frontier. We think, in view of
this fact and the plain necessity for an
other post to the north of us, a meeting
of the influential citizens of Benton
should be called to take steps to lay the
matter before the department. Concert
ed action with a plain statement of facts
is needed now, and it should not be de-
layed, for not only will such raids have
a bad effect on this section in the east,
but the redskins, emboldened by their
recent success in evading punishment,
are sure to repeat their visit. and proba-
bly, in even greater force than before.
