wanted in that county for stealing and
butchering cattle last summer. At the
time the cattle were stolen and for some
time after, Wolf was under the sllrveil-

part Of July he skipped ont and all ef.
forts t. find his whereabouts were UNI
aSpilin.. Last week, however, word was
received at the sheriff, Office in Boze-
man that Wolf had been seen in Butte
and was thought to be employed at some
Of the outside camps Mr.. Bailey WAS
accordingly dispatched to this city. When

officer Lyle, and together they started
ont to find the offender After making
search Of the city and surrounding wood

the county.
Now Mr.. Editor the immediate future

Meeting with the Utah Northern at
Butte, it would open fine market for
your products. And instead Of ship ing
thousands Of tons Of grain and -four
from Mormondonl, the entire amount

good profit to the farmers. by united
action on the part Of the people ] am
satisfied there is \ way I" accomplish
this much desired object the coming
year. ! understand that the greater part
Of the grade Is finished through the
Jefferson canyon. If the merchants and
farmers will agree to grade and tie the
road from Gallatin city to Bozeman the
company could issue scrip payable in
fieights after the road is finished. Next
spring after the crops are put in every
farmer could furnish from one to three
teams and the work could be done in
short order, the merchants could put
the ties ON the ground, so by next fall
the company could have the iron down
and the road in work. ng order.
If the people. will work together they
.:an accomplish good results and not only
get well paid for their labor in freights,
hut increase the value Of their property
and revive the business interests Of the
county. Having lived in Gallatin fo, a
number Of years am acquainted with
majority Of the farmers and know that
d fair proposition of this kind would not
only meet Of their approval but they
wonld readily take hold and push it to
completion.
The ditch from the West Gallatin will
in time be big thing for the county but
at present you should turn your attention
towards getting an outlet for your pro-
duce before increasing your acreage, 'or
the supply is now greater than the de-
miand.
Now is the time to sgitate the question
talk it up with Sam Word and get into
with President Adams Of
the Union Pacific, and by an energetic
you will be able to have the
road finished to Bozeman ready to move
the crop Of 1885.

compel the Crows to enter into a lease
with John F. Blake and j. 4. Wilson as
trustees for syn Iicate of cattlemen
whereby the greater portion Of the Grow
reservation is leased for ten years at one

A copy Of McDonald's charges have been
sent Armstrong, and further action will
be taken when he has been heard in re-
ply to them. Ugly rumors have got
around about the transaction and one of
them associates the name of Secretary
Tellers brother with the syndicate. Who
are behind Blake and Wilson no one
seems to know. Secretary Teller says he
has not the slightest idea. He does not
know either Of these men, only that
Blake lives at Salida. Col, came original
