Death of Valuable Horses


B. A. HAZEL lost a valuable horse
last week-a roadster of excellent
speed that he would not have taken
$500 for. 1t had given evidence of a
fever, not at all alarming, and fell
dead suddenly in the morning without
warning that anything serious was the
matter.
John r. Wilson also lost a horse. six
years old, whose death he cannot ac-
count for. When he left the farm the
night before the animal was perfectly
well and ate the next morning with the
usual heartiness. It was dead i'm ten
minutes from the time it was discover
ed to be ailing. What made the death
the more trying to Mr.. Wilson was.
that he had contracted for its sale to
Stephen Pcstles, of Camden, for 5000
and met Mr.. Postles on the road to
pay him the money and take the
animal away.
Mr.. Pugh and Mr.. Farrell, near A.
q. Cummins phosphate factory, each
lost horse last week with the stag
gers.

The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1884-08-08

While Deer Lodge does not get the best of
MagLire's stage attractions, for the very good
reason that with little town and a theatre
building so small, illy.seated and IL nattrac-
tive that people only 60 into 1t under protest,
and therefore the more expensive companies
do not make profit here, the Territory gen
orally, and especially Butte and Helena, il
under obligations 10 him for the good work
he has done. BY getting control Of nearly all
the theatre buildings in the Territory and
putting up his prices of rent to an exhorbi-
tant figure, he has pretty thoroughly horned
of the Jim Crow" companies, and is run
ming through the Montana circuit some of
the very best OF the travelling companies
just as good rs they get In Colorado, Utah.
Oregon or anywhere in the Northwestern
circuit, outside Of California. Heaven bless
him for the good companies he brings, and
especially for keeping out the snide shows
To be sure he engages good company once
IN awhile that does not take, and another
that has o particular merit but If Charlotte
Thompson, the finest actress Montana has
seen for years, loses money, and dog and
donkey combination coins money, IL is not
hard TO understand that the public is a queer
patron and It requires eccentric experiment
a. well rs experience to cater to 1t. These
remarks are suggested by the presence in
Butte of the Fay Templeton Comic Opera
Company, and notice that the Lawrence Bar
rett Company will be here in few weeks.
These are attractions even in metropolitan
cities aud for Mcguire to secure their APP
pearance IN Montana, when there are really
but two towns that can be relied on for even
expenses, Is an act Of grace that demands
recognition of all play-goers. We trust
Montana will give substantial appreciation
of these excellent companies and encourage
such adventures. We hope Mr.. Mcguire can
arrange to give Deer Lodge at least one night
of each. This town il good for a $500 house
10 either, and would exceed that If there
were n larger theatre. This IL the best one
night show town Of its population in the
Territory, but aside from its having poor
theatre II Is used too much for the lighter
WASTED companies TO kill time in while
waiting TO get date ut Butte or Helena,
without regard to its being overplayed. We
haven't much hopes now of getting better
theatre this year, but If Mr.. Mcguire can see
his way clear TO give US sight Of the Tenn
pl"ton or Barrett companies we will feel
much obliged

ss.ssnsl, Look |. Your Interests !

Asd buy the Mccormick Irvine Binder. 1t
is the lightest draft machine made. You can
raise it higher and cut lower with it than
with any other machine in the world. 1t
will bind shorter grain and is easier to adjust
from long to short grain than any other ma
chine. 1t is more easily handled on rough
and uneven ground than any other machine.
All Mccormick Harvesters have the 1884
patent iron main and grain wheels, which
cannot break. They are made of the best
material, and the name, Mccormick" is a
sufficient guarantee of its superiority over all
other machines. By buying the Mccormick
you are'sure Of getting an 1884 patent, and
you are not buying machine carried over
from 1888. We will put into the field and
start every machine and guarantee them to
do ANo. work in fact, to be the best ma
chine put into the market. We buy in car
lots, direct from manufacturers, and hence
are able to sell at a lower figure than any
other machine can be sold for. We always
have full line of extras. Call at once and
leave your orders with the

Still After Horse Thieves.

A correspondent writing from Cottonwood,
Meagher county, August Sd, to the Herald,
says:
Stuart's cowboys have returned from their
first expedition with large band of horses
recaptured from the gang of thieves they
were after, and they are now on their second
scout. They send in word by courier that
they have gang of horse thieves corrallsd
near the mouth of the Musselshell, and need
more help to take them, as they are in force.
A second party start to-day to their assist
apce. The horse thieves are revenglng them
selves by killing cattle. Hot times are ahead
for outlaws in this part of the country, as
everybody interested considers himself a
committee of one to clean them out The
cowboys have performed good service so far
and will continue to do SO TO the end. Some
two or three stockmen are missing that went
out with Stuart's men. There are fears that
some mishap has befalen them, as the coun-
try they rounded-up is infested with horse
thieves The way they do down here is to
start out party and roundup the thieves,
the same as they would lot of stock. By
such means it is hard for the outlaws to
escape, If the cowboys once strike the right
trail.

THE TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
A Proclamation Of Quarantine Issued.

Governor Crosby, under advices that there
was probability of importation into Montana
Of cattle effected with Texas fever, on Tues
day issued the following
PROCLAMATION:

States and Territories, and this fatal disease
having attacked native cattle which grazed

Southern ranges
And, being officially notified that Texas cat

be turned loose upon our ranges, thereby
jeopardizing nearly twenty millions of dol
lars invested in cattle within our borders
Now, therefore, in order to protect this
great interest and the fortunes of our own,
as well as those of the citizens of other
States and Territories, I, John Schuyler
Crosby, Governor of the Territory of Mon
tana, do hereby declare a quarantine estab-
lished against all such Texas cattle coming
into the Territory of Montana, by rail, and I
do hereby call upon all citizens to aid in the
enforcement of the quarantine aforesaid.

We are advised the postof1ce at Avon was
to commence operations this week. Our
subscribers receiving their papers at other
offices who desire them changed to Avon,
will please notify US by postal card.
The Telephone Company in Deer Lodge
charges % cents for ten words to Helena, and
one cent per word for all exceeding ten. To
Butte they charge 10 cents for ten words and
i've cents for each additional word. Why
this exorbitant charge to Butte, and why the
discrimination when the line to Butte is the
shortest? Will the Telephone Company
please answer this inquiry?
From gentleman who arrived in Butte
last evening from Anaconda we learn that .
stabbing ARRAY, quite serious in its nature,
occurred in that burg Tuesday evening. 1t
seems that George Miller aud another party,
whose name we are unable to learn, had been
drinking quite freely in the brewery. A dis
cussion arose and words led to blows. In the
melee Miller was stabbed eight times. He
received five digs in the back, one in the leg,
one In the hand, and one in the face. The
party who did the stabbing made his escape,
and was last seen at Silver Bow, probably
making for Butte. Miller's wounds are not
considered serious.--Miner, 7h.

The Cemetery.

J. c. Robinson, Esq, has proposed to citi-
Gems Interested in the cemetery, TO donate
the lumber and give them a continuous sup
ply OF water for irrigating purposes, If the
citizens will construct a telegraph fume from
jerks bar or pipe the water from that point
TO the cemetery. This is a generous offer
and will doubtless be accepted. 1t seems
the convey ance of the cemetery grounds to
the County Commissioners was never con-
summated, so nothing has been done about
the fence. Mr.. Ed. II. Irvine generously
signifies his willingness to include in 1t the
ground down TO the Pioneer road. As soon,
therefore, As survey can be made, IL will be
so conveyed, and the funds should then be
raised forthwith TO improve the fence and
bring on the water. The supply Of the latter
now Is irregular and inadequate, and water
Is carried long distances at times by the
many who give most devoted care TO the lit
tie mounds in our village cemetery. With
water brought under the 2O-feet pressure
that would be obtained, the appearance of
the cemetery could be much improved and
the place beauJifed with trees, flowers, foun.
tains and grass, at small expense.
