hanging of horse thieves in Eastern Meagher
county, but find it difficult to ascertain the
facts in regard to really how many have been
killed and hung. From the best information
only about seventeen have shared this fate
from first to last /; yet from the rumors afloat
one would think that no less than fifty had
come to their end at the hands of exaspera-
ted cow boys.-Husbandman

Missoula has several cases of typhoid fe-
yer. Messrs. Robert Land employe of J
Solomon, Tom Mcleod, of Eddy, Hammond
& Co.'S force, Mr.. Foss, recent employe at
the Lo Lo saw mill, and young man from
Frenchtown whose name we did not learn,
are on the sick list from this malady. Mr..
Foss's case is the only one which is looked
upon as at all serious, however. We learn
that Mrs. J. p. Caching, of Catching's mill, is
quite i'll from the same cause, but we hope to

1t seems a sad commentary on the North
ern Pacific management, but nevertheless the
facts are too true that the major portion Of
the tourist travel to National Park come in
this year over the Union Pacific, the Utah &
Northern via Beaver canon, and return the
this route has during the present season be-
come so popular. Rates can be had from
Chicago and return for about one-half the
amount asked by the Northern Pacific. AS a
result the majority patronize the cheapest
route. Still we sit IN dumb amazement and
wonder why the Northern Pacific should run
