Climatic Changes.
Sun RiUer Sun.

Great changes have taken place in the sys-
TEN of weather since the first settlement OF
Montana. These changes have been so grad
ual that it is no easy task to describe or point
them out. Old-timers toll us that when they
first came to the Territory the summers were
much cooler than they are now, and that for
many years they did not remember single
warm night. The evenings were cool and
the mornings frequently very cold. One
reason ascribed for the change is that in those
DAYS there was more timber, and the surface
of the earth was covered with long, luxuri-
Gus grasses which prevented it from becem-
ing heated by the suns rays during the day.
At shutdown toe air IL said to have been
damp and cold and continued to increase In
GOODNESS until warmed by the sunshine of the
succeeding day. The summers of early times
were mostly dry. Frost and snow set in
earlier in former times than Of late. Snow
usually commenced about the first Of Octo-
Der November was regarded as winter
month IS the winter frequently set in with
severity during that month, and often at an
early period of it. The springs were former
" somewhat cooler and accompanied with
more snow than they are now. The changes
in these respects are not considered favora-
BILE to vegetation, as the latest springs are
uniformly followed by the most fruitful sea-
sons

News has reached us that terrible shoot
ing affair occurred at the residence Of L. ii
McDermott, at Clsndenin, on Friday, the
9Th inst, resulting in the death Of VIM. Ma
rine. 1t appears that difficulty relating to
domestic affairs occurred between hcDer-
mott and Marine, and a day was appointed
and several ne ghbors called in with view
to settling the matter. Two ladies were pres
emit in the room, when, after some words,
McDermott shot Marine with a revolver,
four bullets taking effect in his body, killing
him instantly. A coroner's inquest was held
over the body and the verdict and evidence,
which was undertaken to be brought to this
place, was lost on the way. The particulars
of the affair, a. far as we can learn, are some
thing like this:
The air WAS full of Islander in regard to
Mrs. McDermott and VIM. Marine, and 1t
was alleged that Wilson and Wilsey, of Mel
hart, knew something of It, and ut the solicit
tation of Marine he and McDermott went to
Neihart These gentlemen disclarmed any
know ledge of the affair, but said that Billy
Cane, of Sheep Creek, knew Marine went
for him, and he disclaimed any knowledge
of anything wrong. Marine and AcDer-
mott then returned to Barker, McDermott
agreeing that II Mrs. Hudson would say that
nothing improper occurred at Kibby, July 4,
he would let the matter drop. Hudson took
his wife to McDermott's in the evening,
leaving her there with Mr.. Marine cher
brother) and Mr.. and Mrs. McDeTmott. La
ter he heard a noise like some one kicking
on door, and, turning met John Lilly, who
said his wife was crying and wanted him,
and on going to McDermott's house found
Marine dead OF the floor. McDermott step
ped out Immediately after the shooting and
has not been seen since.

Archie Lawy err, Nez Perez Indian, a son
of the old chief Lawyer, returned to Lewis
ton recently from the Indian Territory,
where he has been engaged as teacher and

missioners at Washington, to know whether
J oseph ought TO be sent back to Idaho, and
he said he told them no! That If he and his
people were allowed to come back here
there would b. trouble that Joseph was not
repentant for the murders he and his allies
had committed at the beginning Of the Nee
Perez war. Tiat Joseph killed Mrs. Manuel
with his own hand, and that he, Archie Law

Territory who were engaged in those muir.
ders on Salmon river, White Bird and Canas
Prairie, which caused the war Of 1871 Some
