A shooting scrape took place at Ulidia
a few days ago. Mike Lynch, we'll
known in Fort Benton, had been for a
week or two trying to provoke Bob
Chestnut to fight. At last forbearance
ceased to be u virtue, and after Lynch
made some remark more insulting than
usual Bob drew a pistol and fired. But
for the interference of Mr.. Ford. who
pushed the weapon aside, Lynch would
have been q dead man. As it was, his
face was badly powder burned. No
sympathy was expressed for Lynch, as
his abuse of Chestnut was wholly I'M
provoked.
a war party of twelve Indians passed
between the Geyser stage station and
Hay Bros ranch, three or four days
ago, all well armed and mounted. They
killed a steer about a mile and a half
from the ranch, built a fire by the side
of the carcass, cooked what they requir-
ed and left the rest. The next morning
they entered the cabin Of one of the
Hay Bros. herders, stole nearly all OF
his provisions and a portion of his cloth
ing, used up his firewood in cooking,
and departed, taking a direction towards
the Belt mountains. All their move
ments were bold in the extreme. To
what tribe they belonged was not ascer-
tanned.

Margarine was practically no butter at
all and that only ten of the thirty sam,
nles were genuine butter. He admitted
That he could not distinguish the spurl-
ons butter from the genuine SO rs to
swear to it, by it, outward appearance;
Int he had no doubt of the accuracy OF
his chemical analysis. He said that IN
The manufacture OF butterine and oieo-
margarine no chemical change takes
place, but simply mechanical mixture,
and TINT nil the substances used III the
mixture have the same properties after
the mixture rs before, 80 that the lard,
fat and oils used in the bogus butter are
no more injurious to health in the bogus
butter than out of it. He had found no
traces OF nitric acid in his analysis, and
would have noticed it il 1t had beer
present. He was of opinion that impure
substances could be deodoriSed so tina
they could not be distinguished, Ever
dead animals could be SO deodorized
but IL diseased germs we're not destroyer
they would prove deleterious to health
