A Business Fact Generally Overlooked.

There are "A good many things
that IL newspaper does for the benefit
of the town and county, and for the
public ut large and individually. for
which 1t receives no pay. Merchants
and business men generally do not al
ways appreciate the fact that the col
umns IF paper constitute the stock
in trade of publisher that it costs
money for every line of matter; that
line IN space is just like so much
merchandise that it means II pound
of sugar, Il yard of calico or Il pound
of nails that the sales of these lines
of type earns the bread and meat of
the editors family. Most any man
can ark AN editor for an inch or txo Of
space in his locals, but it takes good
deal of check to step into IL store and
ask a merchant to give one fifty cents
or d1llar's worth OF tea.-Cheboygan

The Billings Gazette of the 1st inst..
chronicles the capture of seventeen
Grow Indians and eighty horses at
Junction City, last week by but two
men-Deputy Sheriff Frank McCorm-
ick and Jerry Crimmins. They cor
rallied the Indians in coulee and sent
message for aid to Capt. Jackson Of
the First cavalry, who was in camp
near by. The Captain at once went to
the rescue and completed the capture.
The Indians have been taken to Fort
Custer where they will be held subject
to the authorities of Yellowstone
county.
The Indians claimed they were re-
turning from the Piegan reservation
whence they had been to recover hor-
ses stolen from them. The Crows were
closely pursued by q well armed band
Of Piegans, who followed them almost
to Junction. The probability is that
this band of Piegans will be heard
from in the next few days as having
made raid on the property of the
horse owners along the Yellowstone.
The Crows were very indignant at
being arrested, complaining that it was
base ingratitude on the part of the SET
tiers and the military to interfere with
them when they were merely retaliat-
ing on the Piegans for their numerous
raids. One old chief said the Crows
had always stood by the whites and
helped the soldiers fight the Sioux and
Piegans. and now the soldiers arrested
them when they were only trying to
get even with the Picgans.

The records of sales of public land
for the year ending June 80, last past.
show where settlement and growth are
going on most rapidly. Dakota leads
all the states and territories with L.
O41,149 acres disposed of. Nebraska
comes next with 3,79S,3Sl and Kansas
follows with 3,O3O,S46. California,
Montana and Washington follow in or
der with over II million acres each
Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota and
Wyoming follow successfully with be-
tween half and three-quarters Of a
million acres. Missouri, Alabama,
Florida and Arkansas, among the
Southern states, return about u quar-
ter of u million acres each, with Loui-
siana and Mississippi each less than
100000. In all the six Southern States,
including Missouri, where any public
lands exist, the entire sales amount to
only 81 ,3Sl ,3lS acres, or II little more
than one-twentieth Of the whole. Of
course Texas is not included, for the
State, and not the Nation owns all the
land there.
In Ohio. Indiana and Illinois the
public lands seem to he all disposed of
and nearly So in Iowa, where the sales
were pnly about 11.O0O acres. Ia
Michigan there were less than 20O, 900

THE Taylor County libel suit Of Pierce
vs.. Mccormick opens with great interest.
The Collectors reasons, as given over his
own signature, for desiring the removal
Of stOrekeeper Pierce, were certainly re-
maskabae-Air. Pierce thinks actionabie.
The eactual reason seems TO have been CON
tanned in the second letter from the Col.
lector, in which he says that Pierce was
personally obnoxious" to him. This is
something Of an improvement, in the
wrong direction, on the Presidents "of.

It must hSve been about this time
when Collector McC Cormick was urging the
removal Of a Republican and tho son q a
Onion soldier-that he gave a place to a

slmed that the Democtat was not ''per-

IN Eleven Bodies Found Meath
the Snow. ,iit5
DENVER, Cor, April ssY,.-Ehe reseuing
party which left Leadyille early yesterday
morning for the scene Of the terrible ca
lamity ct Homestake mine reached their
destination at 8 o'clock. Several excava.
tons were msde before the cabins could
be located. Thefrst one contained pro-
visions, etc. No bodies were found here.
The bunk house was next reached, where
eleven bodies were found. One body stood
erect with the head thrown forward as IL
listening, the whole position indicating
apprehension. Near him lay one Of his
companions in the bunk, face downward
with his arms crossed under his head.
j Several logs lay on his body. Three
bodies were found in an upper hunk
olasped in each others arms, and SO
strongly were they interloeked as to re-
quire the efforts Of six men to separate
them. One man was found beside bis
bunk in the attitude OF praying. In an
other part OF the cabin were two bodies
crushed between fallen timbers. Other
bodies were found lying about, the cabin
rs II thrown from the hunks by the Rhocls.
There is no doubt death was caused by
autfJcation in nearly every case. n
A clock and wntch was found which
had stopped precisely at $3.50. FROM let.
