Since our last issue the weather has
been severe fer the climate. Sunday
and Monday it was cold and gloomy,
and the snow melted but little. Tues
day the mercury marked 1Oo above
zero, with a severe north wind all day.
Wednesday the wind had gone down,
and so had the mercury, and the coolest
day OF the season was registered. Yes
terday the sun came out and moderated
things considerably, though it yet re-
manned too cold for comfort. In most
places the streams and ponds were COW
cred with ice from four TO six inches
thick, though the spring branches ar
yet running. Cattle that are not being
fed must necessarily suffer. for the
ground being covered with snow they
cannot get enough grass to do them any
good. Stockmen are generally kept
busy cutting the ice so that their stock
will not suffer for water.

LOCATION 1.-The town of Great Falls is located at the head of the falls
of the Missouri, O m the south side of the river, in Choteau county, Montana
II is about ninety miles northeast of Helena, the capital, and forty-fve miles
southwest of Fort Benton, the head of navigation N the Missouri river. The
beautiful Sun river mingles its waters with the Missouri at the upper bon.
dary of the townsite, and these two broad valleys form at this point one ofHe
most delightful spots in Montana. By a sharp turn of the river, fronting the
town, a wide bay is formed, presenting a great expanse of still water, which
adds not a little to the beauty Of the scene. The town is distant about sixty,
five miles from the main range of the Rockies, forty miles from the Big Belt
mountains, twenty miles from the Little Belt mountains, and TWENTY-FIVE
miles from the Highwood range. It's position is on the border of the great
coal region, extending from Smith river to Belt creek and covering IN area
of at least $50 square miles.
HISToRY.-J J. Hill, of St. Paul, president of the Manitoba R. R. COM
pany, and Paris Gibson, ire the propnetors of the townsne. The great avail
able water power afforded by the falls of the Missouri, the beauty of the lou.
ton and the varied resources of the country adjacent, naturally suggested the
building of town at this place. Title to the land was secured in 1881. in.
Guiding not only that within the limits of The townsie, bat all the land fronting
the river, on both sides, from the upper to the lower falls, some 5000 acres
in all. This magnificent possession was secured at a great expense, and is
to-day the largest and, unqueshonaby, the most valuable contiguous body of
land, owned by one firm, in Montana.

four round trips from Bismarck to Fort
Benton in the unprecedented time OF
fifty days, or an average of fourteen
days to the trip, which includes time
lost at both ports. -
This time is uneQualed, and the Ben
ton line favorite is clearly entitled to the
blue ribbon. The Helena has delivered
freight.at the Benton levee 123 days

and passengers in II days from same
place. Passengers eastward bound have
arrived in st. Paul four days out from
Benton.
During her four trips the Helena has
carried fourteen hundred tons, $50 tons
Of which were delivered at Montana
points, and 400 tons were eastward
bound products of Montana.
The officers of the Helena are as fol-
lows Richard A Talbot, captain Jas.

After Horse Thieves.

Just as the band boys were leaving
the post for this city, a detachment OF
Company G and four or five Indian
scouts were sent out, to intercept, il
possible, a band of horse thieves who
stole a lot of stock at some point north
Of the line, and were coming into Mon
tana with the same. It is supposed the
intention was to cross the Missouri at
some point below, and the movements of
the soldiers were made with the view of
intercepting them. Whether or not they
were successful is not yet known, and
neither are the particulars Of the raid.
The.festive horse thief seems to be get
, ting in his work with good effect every.
time, and the action of the stockmen on
the MusseIshell and at Clagett ought to
be repeated whenever the occasion
offers. 1t is the only way to put e.
quietus on this business.

Editors of River Press
Narcisse Laverdure, a half-breed, was
hung here at 2 o'clock a.. m. on the 9th
inst. for horse stealing, and Leo LAYER
dure, his uncle, was shot and instantly
killed while attempting to escape on the
morning of the 18th. The particulars
are as follows: On the morning Of the
26th inst. the halfbreeds ran off five
head of horses from the opposite side of
the river, belonging to J. A. Wells.
When out about eleven miles they acct
dentally came across William Thomp-
son, who, knowing the horses, ordered
them to halt. This they refused to do
and attempted to escape. Thompson
being well armed and on a good horse
gave chase. They separated, and after
a chase of six miles Thompson ran down
Narcisse, Leo getting away. Thompson
brought the prisoner and all the stolen
horses to this place. They were brought
over the river in a skif, Narcisse being
well guarded in a stable. At 2 o'clock

men, and Laverdure was taken out and
hung to an outspreading branch of a
large cottonwood tree, and a card mark
ed "Horse Thief" pinned to his back.
Three men then started in pursuit Of
Leo, who was overtaken on Eagle creek,

ing half-breed about Is years of age. He
acknowledged his guilt and strongly
censured his uncle, who he said forced
him to do the stealing.
Leo L%averdure is about As years of

three guns were drawn on him. He
