DaI.ota and Montana Notes,

Fargo, but VIM. Rea, pioneer settler, says
there is less snow on the ground than usual
at this time.
| Ole Saure, a prominent farmer in the ex
IRENE north of Dakota, near Reynolds, was
found dead in his stable few days since,
kicked on the head by his horse.
| Some of the Fenians allege thata man in
Fargo named w. H. Matteson has been Sc
cured as spy upon their movements, in the
interest of the British government; little is
known of him.
The Rentz-Santly novelty and burlesque
company have been drawing good houses at
Helena and other Montana towns, and will
appear at the following places in the order
named Bozeman, Billings, Miles City,
Glendive Mandan, Bismarck, jamestown,
and one week at Winnipeg.
The Grand Forks Herald breaks out in this
enthusiastic way: Disseminated GROWERS
who have been predicting no immigration to
the valley this spring can see now that their
forecasts have failed completely and the cy-
clone of immigration has already begun to
burst upon US. Last night Mrs. John Bulge
presented her apouse with hearty boy baby,
on whom every finger is a fishhook and every
| hair of his head a heaving line. Also Mrs.
G. P. Kiel with blooming nine pound boy
who is expected to some day prove power
in the Great Northwest.
| The clerks at the Huron land Office are in
| bad humor over the names of some of the
aboriginals of the country. The Leader says
| Twas thuswise: Mr.. Hitumkasanluta, Mr..
Waubliwahacanka, Mr.. Matonakta, Malog-
deska, and Hon. Stephen Cetangi, all of
| Hughes county, native American citizens,
desired to prove up on their homesteads, on
which they had lived from eight to ten years,
and made good Improvements. Their papers
were all in proper form, but it was pro-
nouncing the names of the gentlemen that
brought trouble to that now happy family.
Simply this and nothing more.
| One of the amusing incidents of journal
ism was afforded few days since by one OF
the local journals of Fargo that plumes itself
upon sonorous periods and glittering rhet-
| oric. 1t spread itself in the most elaborate
way over the decease of the late Episcopal
| bishop of Nebraska, and with humid eyes
and lugubrious pathos stood at his open
grave and dropped its tribute upon his
t'peaceful breast,'' which was touching and
kind, but it had the misfortune not to know
the name of the departed, and called him
Bishop Potter in all its references to him
If there is Bishop Potter anywhere who
expects to die this obituary will come in
handy.
| The Larimore Pioneer says: Mr.. o. M.
Towner, who is in town en- route to his
Mouse river ranch from St. Louis, being in
terviewed he said he had just purchased in
| the Blue Grass districts of Missouri two cal
loads of short horn grade Hereford heifers
which he would have shipped in June to his
ranch. He proposes to grow fine grade OF
| stock for sale in Montana to cross with range
cattle in that great grazing ground. Mr.
| Towner says the Mouse river country Is admi
rably adapted by nature for cattle. The val
| ley overfows every year, excluding it from
agriculture and stimulating the development
of rank growth of bule stem grass, which
makes splendid quality of hay, which may
| be cut for winter feed.
There is a good deal of suspicion and
feeling manifested in the Grand Forks re-
gion over the recent advent from Red Lake
Falls, Mimi, of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Wilder
on account of scandal that caused their re-
moval to Dakota. Mrs. Wilder is the daugh-
ter of the Adventist pastor at Monticello,
and much esteemed. They were married on
the 18th of September last, and on the 18th
of March she is alleged to have had child.
| Mr.. Wilder claimed that it was in an en-
| bryonal condition and that he carried it to
| the river nearly mile and threw
| It in. No doctor was employed and no lady
friend of Mrs. w. allowed to visit her for ten
days after. Many of the people thought Il
was live, full developed child and tried tC
get legal investigation, before which Mr..
! w. saw fit to remove to Dakota.
The Grand Forks PLaindedle. has inter
viewed VIM. Johnson, of that section, who
has just returned from a visit 10 his former
home in Ontario Canada, and says: Mr.
johnson came to Dakota two years ago pool
man. and is now the possessor of property in
Pembina county which brings him in the
handsome income of two thousand dollars q
year. He passed the winter at his old home,
and made arrangements for bringing out his
| family, who will come out about the first Of
Nav. He referred to numerous cases in
which parties coming from his community
to Dakota had invariably succeeded in accu-
mulating valuable property. He says thai
| he expects over a hundred families of his
Canadian acquaintance out here in tho
spring, and says that the popular feeling in
favor of Dakota throughout the province is
very enthusiastic, and is growing more in
tense every day.
a soldier at Fort Yates, in writing east t.
a friend recalls an incident that occurred las
| fall: IseTheFe are 1000 Sioux Indians at this
| agency Sitting Bull and all the rest of the
| noted Sioux tribes are here, and / was at 8
council held at the agency between Senate
Logan and some others and Sitting Bull anC
| some of the head chiefs, and Sitting Bull told
Senator Logan that he came there to talk
with wise men and not men who were drunE
as he Iogan) and the others were. He then
spoke somethingl in Indian to the chiefs
and the council broke up. Sitting Bull was
arrested and made to ask pardon of Logan. ,
Somehow the Associated Press did not gel
hold of that little morsel; but an apology
forced out of Sitting Ruiz at the point of {
bayonet must have been very unsatisfactory
to a warrior Ike Logan. 1t was a very
s'pointed'' apology, it is true but the poin
was turned the wrong way.
The Helena Herald says of the two points
on the Northern Pacific that lead to thu
mines: Thompson Falls and Belknap are
both booming, and have about 300 and SOC
inhabitants respectively. Both towns. are
working on separate trails to the Ceur d Alent
mines, and their roads will not join, as be-
fore reported. Thompson Falls City is loca
ted on the Clarke's Fork river, and the rail
road presents the finest location for business
and dwelling houses, and forms one of the
most desirable connections with the new
Eldorado by way of the old Indian trai
up Prospect creek and over the range to the
head of Prichard creek on the west side. Our
informant says the present wagon road
from Thompson Falls City is good trottine
road for twenty miles to the eastern base Of
the Ceur d'Alene range then worked trail tc
the top of the range and over the western
base, where is located Raven City, surround
ed by rich placer mines On the head Of
| Pritchard Creek. The distance between
