The Cemetery.

It is said that the cemetery west of
town is constantly subjected to un-
seemly desecration from stock grazing
in that vicinity or from being driven
over in considerable herds. The
graves are comparatively few, but
should nevertheless be protected and
respected. Tombstones or fences
around individual graves are knocked
down. and the mounds themselves
will in little time be trampled out of
recognition. The proper thing to do
is to build around the cemetery a
strong fence that would effectually
prove barrier to stock.

Probably a Murder.

Readers of the ENTERPRISE may re-
member that last winter human
skull was found ON Mr.. Coxs ranch
four miles below Big Timber. No
other portion of the skeleton was
found at that time as snow covered a
great part of the ground and coyotes
had evidently carried the skull some
distance from it's original resting
place. From Il. z. Mcdonald of this
city, who was ut Big Timber IL few
days ago, we learn the sequel of the
story. The remaining portion of the
skeleton was found entire together
with clothes and bedding. The
body had been buried and fire built
on the grave. From careful examlna-
tion of the remains the following des-
cription has been made up: A man
about five feet eight inches tall, with
sandy complexion and short beard. He
was dressed IN blue navy undershirt,
cheviot oyershirt with dark stripes,
canvass vest, blue blouse, no drawers.
heavy yellow woolen pants and blue
oyerals. His bedding consisted of a
California blanket, a common print
quilt or comfort and aD oil cloth
spread. Mr. Cox remembers that
two years ago two men with a
team camped there on that ground and
remained some time. They claimed
to have come from Butte and to have
been employed there in hauling quartz.
They remained in camp there a long
while, kept up large fire a great part
of the time and consumed all the fuel
in that vicinity. Who they were he
does not know. but he believes that
the man whose skeleton has just been
discovered was buried there by them
and precautions taken for its conceal
ment. 1t is not at all improbable that
this is another of the many instances
of murder that will always TeHaiR a
mystery.

The facts elected II: the inquest Oh
the body of the brakeman found dead
on top of a car in Coles circus train at
Garrison, are as follows: He was Il
brakeman on the Utah & Northern
named John Edwards and his home
was at Ogden. When the circus train
was about two miles out from Deer
Lodge i've shots were heard. When
the train reached Garrison, Edwards
body was found on top of astock car,
shot through the breast and with face
and hands beaten and bloody. An cid
man and "a boy who had been beating
their way with the circus, were seen
talking with Edwards shortly before
the train started; that is the only pos
sible clue to the identity of the MUIR
derer.

A squad of employees and camp-fol-
lowers of Coles circus were arrested
at Helena and taken to Butte to an
swer charges brought against them of
swindling. Charges of the same ma
tnre await them at Deer Lodge and
Dillon. when the Butte officers have
been satisfied. West Side papers say
that w. w. Cole, the proprietor OF
the show, is among those arrested. but
it IS otherwise said that he was not
arrested but went to engineer the de-
Tense of his employees. The circns
men say it was none of their party
that did the swindling, but that the
offenses were committed by a few
who were following the show and who
have fed since they were So openly
exposed in Deer Lodge and Butte. On
the contrary it is alleged in those two
towns that the worst swindler of the

A Gang of Thieves.

Madisonian: Ricksburg, where the
Madison valley boys captured their
men last week, is said to be one of the
principal rendezvous of the worst
gang of horse-thieves in the noun
tains. If co mmon report is to be
credited, the ramifications of the
gang extend throughout Idaho, Utah,
Montana and Wyoming, and they have
their confederates at various points
in all these territories. The place is
situated in the thinly settled portion
of Oneida county, and in a region
which abounds in facilities for the
concealment of stolen horses, the
neighboring mountains abounding in
natural parks, secluded from Observa-
ton, and only accessible through mar
now gorges which are easily closed by
short fences. These places are, we'll
watched by the herders of the gang,
and there are stories told to the effect
that, should any one on the search
for lost animals nose too closely
around their neighborhood. he is very
likely to turn up missing" The
modns operandi of the gang is to steal
horses in the south, drive them TO
these recesses. and await favorable
time to drive them north and sell
them, and then pursue a similar
course here and dispose Of their plum
der in the southern country. Of
course, great many of the marvellous
stories which are told of their eX-
plolts are greatly exaggerated; but
there is no doubt that Oneida county
is the headquarters of a formidabl e
gang of desperate villains, to whose
nefarious operations many of the
losses which the horse-owners of
Montana and the neighboring terri
tories have sustained are due, and
whose determination can only be ef-
fected hy a very strong and united or
ganiZation.

Times at gIurrayviIe.

The Belknap Sun, speaking of Cur
ry. or Murrayville, i'll the Occur d
Alenes, says: While the town ex-
hibits a far amount of life, business
Is almost at a standstill. A few mer-
chants are satisfied with what they
are doing, but the majority are groan-
ing under the weight of general
dullness and the lack of money.
Many mel are idle and roam the hills
in quest Of work, but il cannot he
found. The market is oyerdone, and
all those who can get away are walk
ing out with their blankets on their
backs. Faith in the mines however,
is not destroyed. The belief is
general that the camp will be better
this fall and next year. The trying
time is the present, and those who
can live through may reap i rich har-
vest.
