Why He Moved.
,ref

An Illinois farmer, who had
moved out here, was asked: ''What
induced YOU to sell yoar farm IN
Illinois and leave your farm where
you were doing well enough aud
come out to this new country:
The answer he gave will stani for
a large number of men situated as
he was. Said he: "My farm WAS
too valuable forSme to own. | had
too much money locked up in land
and improvements to realize any
thing above a very small per cent.
on the investment; so / sold out
for $50 per acre, loaded a car with
household goods, another with nv
teams and farming tools, came on
and got a farm for nothing, twice
as large as my old one. and mad the
money for my old home in Illinois
to build better house here, and
buy more stock, and in five years
my home here will be worth twice
the money that the old place wa:
worth" That is the reason Sc
many men are leaving good home:
to settle in a new country.

Missoula Marauders.

Last Saturday night about 10
o'clock, as Mr.. Sam Sloan, a trusted
employe of the Northern Pacific
Railway company at Missoula, was
riding along the road near laval
creek, about eight miles from town,
he was approached by two horsemen,
one of whom rode up on either side
of him. One of them said, "Helloa,
Sam, is that you: where you going"'
"Going to the canyon" replied Sam.
"Well, hold your hands up said
one of the two, holding a Colts re-
volver in his face. Sam pointed out
the stars with either hand. "Git of
your horse!' He obeyed the order,
and meantime horseman No. 2 seized
Sans horse by the bit, and, showing
his revolver inte Sans face, told
him to "look down the barrel and
keep bis id mouth shut" Mr..
Sloan "looked down the barrel' in
tently, while the disengaged robber
quietly went through his pockets and
took from him $l70 in money, which
he seems to have been very foolishly
carving with him. Mr.. Sloan had a
mail sack with him, and they exam
iaed its contents saying, wonder
what the DEVILS in that?" After Sc
curing their plunder, they ordered
him to mount and strike. cut for the
canyon, which he obeyed to the let
ter. There is rumor afoat that two
other people up the canyon were
"held up" for $50 on the same night.

H. LENA. NJ. t., June 26.-The
Deer iuige caach coming to Helena
was stopped by masked road agents
at 2 o'clock to-day, two miles east of
the French woman's ranch and 16
miles west of Helena. The agents
called upon the driver to stop but he
plyed his whip and John McCor-
mick, post trader at Fort Missoula,
and an old mountaineer, who sat be-
side him, opened fire upon the road
agents. The agents returned the fire
hitting the off wheel horse. McCor-
mick had only three bullets in his
revolver, but the last one struck one
of the agents, whereupon they gal
loped off: The coach horses gal
loped one hundred yards or so, when
they were pulled up and the wheel
horse taken out and left on the road
side to die. When the first coach
was attacked the second coach loaded
with passengers was only fifty yards
behind, but evidently was not seen
by the road agents until the firing be-
gan. Officers are in pursuit from
here.

Painful Accident.

Miss Dunbar, the talented leading

dent at the Centennial Hotel last
night, which will materially disar-
range the plans of the company.
While in the act Of running, in a
playful mood from the ferocious, but
petite and vivac,ous Miss Anderson,
of the same company, Miss Dunbar
ran against a door casing with such
force as to fracture her collar
bone. A physician was called who
placed the fracture in plaster mould
and informed the young lady that it
might be q month before she would
be able to resume her place on the
stage. The accident necessitates
sending to Salt Lake for a leading
lady to take Miss Dunbar's place in
the company and Mr.. Lindsay will
be obliged to cancel or postpone his
engagement in Deer Lodge.

interviewing a Greystone.

I have Just returned from visit to
Greystone, and have had an expe-
rience which reminds me very much
of the day that fell into the front
end OF thrashing machine and
came out with the straw and was
tramped on by the horses. Reading
in the newspapers that Mr.. Tilden
was in robust health, with rosy
cheeks and sinewy mind, [ concluded
to 90 up and interview him.
When arrived at the front gate OF
the baronial demesnes, l saw Mr..
Tilden down by the house saving
wood. As he stopped to rub his saw
with piece of bacon rind, he caught
sight of me. Suspecting me to be a
reporter, he shouted to hired man,
at work near by, not to let me pa s:
never heard sucn voice in my life.
II sounded like Nova Scotia fog
horn. A mate on the Mississippi
River in olden times would have
maid rental of $25 a month for the
use of that voice. I bribed the hired
man with cigar to let me 60 by.
When Mr.. Tilden saw me advancing
he dropped his saw aud started to
run. The first thing he did was to
clear a garden hedge about five feet
high. I lost fully half a minute in
hunting a breach in the hedge
through which could pass. BY
this time Mr.. Tilden had bounded
away towards the barnyard. Clear
ing an empty straw rick which lay
in his course, he alighted in close
proximity to the orchard fence. l
am an agile man myself, and as l ian
around the end of the rick he took
the fence, and before could get over
he had climbed a tall cherry tree with
suuirrel-like c:lerity. | thought
/ had him, but just as neared the
tree he saw his strategic mistake,
and with one bound he leaped out o1
the tree and started for the house. !
cot close enough to him at one time
to shout: "What do you think OF
the Ohio Republican platform on the
tariff question: but he eluded me
and entered the front door of the
house.
I chased him from room to room
and from story to story, when finally
he emerged upon the roof. Before
he could close the door / was beside
him, notebook in hand. This, then
was the end of the steeplechase.
II see,' said I, "that you are ia
