a Complaint.

The Missoula Times of the 18th
inst. contains the following COM
plant from Mr.. GOWN, who is large.
ly interested in the mines of Wallace
district:
WALLACE DISTRICT, July 9, '83.
Editor MssOula County Times:
Will YOU be so kind as to publish in
your valuable columns the following
words of truth: I addressed a letter
to MI. John B. Read, Of Butte City,
Commissioner to Denver Exposition,
asking him if it was necessary to
have blanks for the forwarding of
ores to the said Exposition. But
Mr.. Read failed to answer my re-
quest. and through his negligence
our district is left in the cold. This
camp would have furnished a respect
able showing. If MI. Read, as a
commissioner, had done his duty,
this camp would have been repre-
sented. This il a great injustice to
eur district and Missoula county in
general. Respectfully yours,
NEMEsE GOWN.

Of Interest to Sheep Men.

The following open letter from O.
G.. Cooper, President of the Wool
Growers Association, to Mr.. Phil.
Lovel, Of Dillon, published in the
Helena Independent will be read
with interest by Montana sheep men,
as it concerns q matter of great i'm
poltance to the wool growing indus
try:
HELENA, M. T., July "a, 1883.
Mr.. Phil. Lovel, Dillon, N. T.:
DEAR SIR: I was instructed by
the Wool Growers Association Of
Benton to write you in regard to
sheep coming into the Territory, es-
pecially sheep from California, that
are liable to have scab. It was theopin-
ion of all members of the Association
that had driven or handled Califor
mia sheep that they were scabby
None could cite an instance of any
sheep that had been driven through
without they had been thor ,ughly
dipped, that were not scabby. It was
our opinion there had better be some
arrangements made to dip all sheep
coming into the Territory, and see
that no California sheep be allowed
to travel unless they had been
thoroughly dipped. l would, there
fore, suggest, should any scabby
sheep come into YOUR county, that
they be stopped, and if they attempt
to move before dipping at least twice,
the owners be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
1t was resolved, That any person
prosecuting any parties who may at
tempt to drive in sheep without a
certificate will be paid for their time
and expenses by the Association; and
it is their earnest desire that all scab-
by sheep be thoroughly cleansed this
season.
W. hope you will use every effort
to prevent any diseased sheep from
coming through your county; and,
further. if it will not be too much
trouble to you, to notify the sheep
commissioners Of the several countits
when there are sheep coming to their
counties. Very respectfully,
o. g. COOPER,
Pres. Wool Growers Association.

Love in the Depot.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A woman arrived here yesterday
afternoon from the East with seven
children in tow, and at almost the
same hour a mar reached the same
depot from the North with five Off
springs of various ages and sizes. She
was a widow and lie q widower, and
the children had not been spanked
more than once around before there
was a sort of mutual sympathy that
begot admiration and then friend
ship. One of the widows boys
offered one of the widower's girls a
bite of his fried cake, which was &C.
copied in the spirit rendered, and a
1O-year-old girl belonging to the man
made up to the 2-year-old belonging
to the woman, and 500 secured the
privilege of wlping its nose and
combing its hair. Presently the
widOwer made bold to inquire:
Madam, am l wong in believing
that you are a widow"

months today" she answered

died! Which way be you going??"

"Thats Just where I'm going, too.
Did you promise your husband never
to ma! marry again."
"And I didn't promise my wife
either. Fact is, I believe 1 shall
unite as soon as I find some good
woman"
"And my children need a fathers
care" she sighed, as she pulled little
John Henry off the window sill and
bamped him into a seat.
The man got up ard and walked
around the waiting-room and took q
closed look at the children. Then he
returned and said:

solemnly and impressively observed:

A 1ssIN
Disappearance OF John O'Conner
Fears That He Has Made
Way With himself.

On Wednesday last Thomas p.
McGillicuddy came into the city
from the wood camp at Yankee Doc
die and reported that a wood chopper
in the camp had become insane. An
officer was despatched to investigate
the case, and being satisfied that the
man vas crazy brought him in and
made the necessary complaint before
the probate court. Ajury consisting
Of DR.. Hough, d. N. Dellinger and
Col. Estes was ordered by the court
to inquire intothe sanity Of the
man. Upon being brought
before the jury it was
evident that O'Connor was laboring
under some mental arrangement
and that his hallucination was that
he had committed great crimes and
was pursued by the vigilantes. It
was, however, apparent that the man
was in perfect physical health and
1t seemed probable that with q di-
version of his mind into new chan
nels his temporary hallucination
would pass away. 1t was, therefore,
decided to discharge him from GUS
tody and he was turned over to his
friend McGillicuddy with the advice
t" take him back to the wood camp
and try the effect of work upon his
brain. The two started to Yankee
Doodle but stopped at Walk
erville until dark when they
started on foot across the
hills to the wood camp. They
had not gone far before O'Connor be-
gam to start and tremble at every OBJ
ject e in tho dim twilight along
the road and finally he demanded
of McGillicuddy to know "what this
game is you are putting up on mel"
if he was to Ego up or down." wheth-
er he was to be chung to a tree or
thrown into a ming shaft" and COM
ing to a prospect hole he said he had
committed crimes 30 great that he
knew he could not escape punish
ment, and if the vigi-ahtes said so he
would end the matter right now in
the bottom of that hole. McGiRi-
cuddy tried to pacify and reassure
him, but he became very vio-
lent and seized McGillicuddy
with both hands, holding
him tn a vice-like grip while
he hurled epithets and aaethemas at
him. McGillicuddy became fright
enened and selling an opportunity
when the lunatic's grasp relaxed,
ran away. The insane man has not
been cen since and is feared that in
hi. terribly excited state of mind he
may have wandered off and made
way with himself in some of the
shafts or prospect holes which
abound north of VAUDEVILLE. Con-
siderable excitement exists about the
matter at the wood camp and a large
party were out yesterday searching
for the man, but without result up to
late hour last night.
