The wolves seem to have left the Bad

& and no cattle have been harmed by them.
The absence Of buffalo thus turns out to
be blessing in disguise to the stock
men. s5. s:5 y =.s,5 !

The immigration edition Of the Mandan
Pioneer, reached us this morning. For
thoroug hness in editorial work, typo
& graphical neatness and general makeup

Trains both east and west have been
badly delayed by snow drifts. Two en-
gines with snow plow precede every
], passenger train, but even this is not suf-
i ficient to overcome the drifts Immediate
~. It is q curious fact that in the Bad
Lands there are no difficulties from drifts

sweep. AL delay is east and west of US.
Transient trade at the hotels is rather
light, but every one is making prepare
tions for the influx of tourists that is
sure to come with the summer. This
points the best one in the Bad Lands
/ from which to see its curiosities, and
\ tourists seem to appreciate the fact. The
/ principal ones, Of course, are Cedar Can
on and the Burning Mine. They have q
\ national reputation and the large major
tty OF tourists passing through the Bad
Lands will stop off to see them.
Nose Ryder, MOODY and sankey' and
Jones started Tuesday on trip up the
river to cut posts. A mile or two out Of
town their wagon upset and pinned Ry-
der and Jones down into snow drift. It
was said to be very animating to see
Jones draw bis pocket pistol from his
pocket, allow some Of the contents to
gurgle down his throat, pass it to Nose,
who did likewise, and then both would
struggle to get the load of, and quote
scripture like q Missouri steamboat mate.
Moody and Sankeyr meanwhile were
conducting select religious exercises in
another drift and at last accounts the
whole outfit seemed to have the power
or something else that was evidently the
work Of the spirits. .5 a
Last Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff
ToWnley, from Miles City, came down
and arrested VIM. Haupre, alias Bird, fol
4 stealing a team Of mules at that place
about six months ago. There are mum
Der Of staries afloat, but as near as We
can find Dut the truth Is about as follows
Bird worked last summer for a man al
Miles City and In settling up Bird
claimed that be was not paid In full hi
then stole d team of mules from his
former employer, drove them through Il
DeadWood, and sold them for $500. III
