Two cases against the Northern Pacific for
killing stock were tried at Townsend fs W
days ago and resulted in judgment for the
plaintiffs in both cases for 1915 ami SlGO re-
spectively. The company has followed its
invariable policy Of appealing from the

killing cases, wherein the Northern Pacific
company is appellant, are now pending be-

The new Northern Pacific time table of the
running Of passenger trains has not yet at
rived, but some knowledge of Its features
enables us to say that the trains from the
east and west will meet here about l:3O p. m.
each day. The trains on the Park braach
will arrive and depart about the same time
arrive about noon and depart shortly after
the departure of the other trains, lying over
at night at the end of the Park branch

Major Brisbin, during his visit to Wash
ington the past winter, Is said to have OBJ
tanned from the Interior Department the rat
ification of his long-claimed franchise to
navigate the Yellowstone Lake IN the Park,
and has been granted the right to place boats
thereon to be operated for profit. His lease
Is not an exclusive one, however, and should
the Department choose to make other grants
of the same nature, the Major would have
competitors, armed with equal ights.-Nies

Tongue river is wearing its banks in places
very fast. Particularly along the edge of the
Park Mt the end OF Main street At the pres
ent rate of wear, a large part of the Park
here will have been carried to the mouth OF
the Mississippi river, there to be dredged out
! at the expense of the Government. The
river is also wearing very fast on one of the
curves above town, and it IL thought by some
that in few years Tongue river may cut
across between the city and the foot hills
east of town. That would DO very much like
some Of the freaks the Missouri river plays.
Miles CITY Journal
From Major Wyman it is learned that sew
eral large gorges still hold in the Yellow
stone. One about thirty-ive miles above
here is reported to be eleven miles long, and
has backed up the river so that it is about
four miles wide above the gorge. Another
just this side Of Glsndive is said to be about
four miles long, and was at last accounts
holding solid and making considerable back
water. The ice in the Big Horn was reported
as stationary yesterday, but Major Wyman
expected it would move last night. The Vel
lowstone at this point was rising slowly yes
terday, probably caused by the gorge at
Glendive above noted. Tongue river still
holds at Il high stage, being within about four
feet of the bank, but running free and clear
of ice.- Yellowstone Journal, 20th.
