News from the N orthwest Territory.

A recent number of the Winnipeg
Free Press, abiding to the arrival of
Senator Cochrane in that city, contains
the following of interest to our readers:
Among the passengers on the west
bound train this morning was Senator
Cochrane, the great rancho man, who
was going on a tour Of inspection am
ong his herds. Mr.. Cochrane expresses
himself as we'll satisfied with the results
of his stock ventures. The change from
the Bow river rancho at Calgary to the
Kootenai and Belly rivers has been, on
the whole, for the benefit of the stock.
Both horses and cattle have survived
the winter well, and are in fine con
dition. He effected a sale of II, 900 head
Of three-year old steers last week to I.
G. Baker & Co. at $65 a head. They
are purchased by the firm to fill their
Indian supply contract with the gov
eminent. This sale is considered a very
good one, and gives a pretty good index
of what the future of the trade is likely
to become. The principal object of the
senator in going west this time is to put
5000 Shropshire sheep on his old ranch
at the Bow river near Calgary. He has
a high opinion of the district as a sheep
raising country, and thinks that event
ually it will supersede cattle raising.

Our Beef Crop.

Some Of our Montana exchanges have
of late been lamenting the fact that
there are no buyers on the ranges for the
beef steers, as though there was no
market for Montana beef or that it was
glutted by over production, which state
Of affairs every one who is well posted
knows does not exist. III conversation
with a we'll posted stockman as to this
seemingly abnormal state of affairs, he
informed us that the steers are not in a
condition to ship yet, and will not be
till fall. It will take until September to
get them in prime, fat, shipping order,
and any one who buys now would have
to hold them until that time before send

competition between buyers for the
northern Indian contracts and the east

ed to the eastern markets. There will
be no trouble, though, u informant
thought, fer cattle men to get a better
price for their beef steers than they re-
ceived last season, as the eastern market
reports show an advance of Csc. a hun
dred over last years quotations, which
is enough to pay the freight to Chicago.
There can be no reason, therefore, for
any depression in the cattle interests of
Montana. but rather a good reason for
the steady increase in the price OF stock

Stock Stealing.

Reports of horse stealing from all
quarters show that there is a growing
disposition on the part Of some to take
care of the stock Of others without 60
ing through the general order of bust
ness. The stealing of a car load of
horses at Dickinson is, if true, one of
the slickest of all unbusiness-like meth
DDS. It is supposed that the horses
were taken out of the car by the thieves,
branded and turned loose to be identified
by the owners the best way they can.
Diligent search has been made for the
culprits, but thus far without avail, and
we understand that the officials of Daw-
son. county are exerting themselves all
possible in the matter Yellowstone

Stockmen's Meeting.

The convention of stock growers call
ed to meet at Helena on the 28th of July
should be largely attended. The object
is to form a territorial association
through which the general welfare of
the industry may be promoted. The
call included stockmen of all classes,
whether breeders of cattle, horses or
sheep. and each Of these different
branches should be represented. The
Shonkin Stock association, as well as
the Montana Wool Growers association,
at their forthcoming meetings, should
send delegates to the Helena convention
on the 2Sth.

WOOL GROWERS OF MONTANA.

We have been engaged in the wool commission
business in Chicago since 1861; have an extensive
ACQUAINTANCE with manufacturers and dealers both
east and west. and think our facilities for handling
and selling wool equal to those of any wool house in
the country.
We are making specially Of Montana woods, hav-
ing found them superior both in grade and condition
to any western wool coming to our market:
Chicago is 9 cash market, which enables US to
make quick sales and prompt returns to our Gus
toners.
We will advance two-thirds Of the market value on
wool consigned to us, at seven per cent. per annum.
Our charges are one cent per pound for selling,
which covers all expenses to the shipper, except
freight, carriage and interest

The Horse Thieves Lynched on the Mus
SelShe1l.

For some time a we'll organized band
Of horse thieves have operated or the
MusselsheIl, and have been a terror in
that region. About the 18th, two of the
Iband, Ed. Owens and Ii. Nickersen,
I stole eight stage horses belonging to the
Billings & Benton Stage company, and
were Observation-Disclosures and lynched by
cowboys. N. G. Smith, Of Lavina, in a
letter to the Herald, tells the story as
follows:
About fifteen cowboys, while riding
the range thirty miles down the Mus
selsbell river from the Black ranch, and
several miles north of the river, discov-
cred two men driving a small band of
horses. The thieves, upon becoming
aware that they were observed by the
cowboys, evidently thinking they were
in pursuit, quickly dismounted and
commenced changing their saddles and
other equipments to fresh horses. This
act caused the cowboys to suspect that
they were horse thieves, and they i'm
mediately gave chase. Overhauling
them, a scrimmage ensued, in which
Owens was wounded in the arm. The
cowboys being at a disadvantage, hav-
ing only revolvers while the enemy had
good rifles, retreated to camp, where
they found guns, and six Of the party
again started for the thieves, determin-
ed to take them in. One mile from
where the first encounter took place
they again overhauled the fleeing des-
peradoes.
The particulars Of the killing we have
been unable to learn, but the boys re-
turned with the eight stage horses and
the two horses rode by the thieves, also
their guns and revolvers-in fact, their
c-lr nlo~~ Till r,ok Gov
that they killed their men, but there is
no doubt of the fact. They do say, how
ever, that Owens and Nickerson will
steal no more horses. This will, it is
hoped, break up the band and rid the
Musselshell of what has been for the
past two months, a terror to everybody
that owned a horse. AS a rule, they
stole from the poorer class, who were
unable or u%nprepared to follow them.

day with his horses. n. G. SMITH,

The nomination of James G. Blaine
for President unquestionably gratifies .
large majority of the Republican voters.
In forcing that nomination, however,
while his friends haye displayed a
fidelity and courage which must extort
admiration, we fear that they have
acted at the same time with a reckless
ness which may not only bring defeat
to their party, but political ruin to their
beloved leader and fearless champion;
for, while representing, without doubt,
a very large majority Of the Republic
ans of the whole country, Mr.. Blaine
does not represent, has never repre-
sented. and probably never will repro.
sent that considerable portion of his
party which is governed by principle
rather than sentiment. and without
whose votes no Republican candidate
for President can be elected. II this
election can be carried by dash and en-
thusiasm and splendid leadership, the
event may possibly justify the audacity
of Mr.. Blaine's friends at Chicago, but
the chances are fearfully against him.
His character has been so Indignantly
