Mr. Kohrs, who returned from eastern
Montana Monday, says the calf crop is light
in nearly all herds north of the Yellowstone
and good on the south. Stock growers have
found that it is necessary to have a larger
proportion of bulls with their herds, and are
governing themselves accordingly. In his
estimate Of stock increase some time ago,
Mr.. X. placed the importation of cattle from
the East over the n. r. at "a, 900. There have
already been shipped in $4,000 head;Eso the
increase will be fully up to his estimate.
About o'clock Wednesday morning, as
Agent Thos. L. futile was in bis office,
alone, checking off his Express matter, a |
couple of strangers entered the Office and or
dered him, "Throw up your hands" As he
rose he drew a revolver, and pointing it at |
them, told them to get" which they did. |
He says they did not appear to be armed, and |
did not offer to attack him, and Immediately |
got out when he pulled the. pistol. 1t was an |
"odd play" sure enough
The Spirit of the Times of July 18th con-
taiDs an announcement from Gen. VIA. T. |
Withers, of Lexington, KY, of the death at |
his stables, July 4th, of the celebrated stall |
lion Almont, aged twenty years. He has de-
scendants in almost every State and Terri |
tory in the Union, and beyond the sea, and |
was known as "the great sire of trotters."
His sire was Alexander Abdallah and dam |
by Mambrino Chief He was accounted one |
of the very finest horses that America ever
produced. His owner had refused $4,000 |
for him.
Tuesday was full of electricity, and culmi.
mated from to 10 p. m. in the finest electric |
storm of the season. The glare Of lightning
and the roar Of thunder were almost Inces-
SAINT for couple of hours. No harm done. |
Early Tuesday morning a terrific thunder
storm passed over Garrison and came near
knocking everybody out of bed. Superin-
tendents Doddridge and st. Clair were &C.
cupying their car on the U. g. n. track, and
Supt. Cable and Col. w. Il. Sanders the car
of the former on the N. p. track, and the
only comfort either took for some time was
that lightning was just as liable TO strike the
opposition car AS their own. The disap.
pointment Of each on finding the other safe
in the morning can better be imagined than
testified to.
Some Of our exchanges state that Secretary
Tooker is about 1000 short on copies Of the
Constitution, and will therefore not have
enough to 20 around. Something further
may be said 1t is assumed he received the
full 10000 copies ordered by the Convention.
In considering the number that should be
printed, the committee were under obliga.
tions to the publishers of the list Of tax-pay-
srs of the Territory, Messrs. Boos & Steele,
we believe, who informed them there were
over $4,000 taxpayers IN Montana. The
Convention ordered 10 900 copies printed. 1t
Is the difference between this number and
the total number of taxpayers which we pre-
sumo the Secretary refers to. 1t was not an
ticipated the edition would be sufficient to
furnish each voter with copy.
