Ont, Devastated by the Mad Rush of
an Irresistible TOrrent-GOrges on the

BoZEMAN. MONT, Jan. 2.-Reports
from the stock ranges are OF the most dis
couraging character. James Dedowich
has just arrived from Madison county,
and says that the snow is over two feet
deep on the level, and that cattle are actu-
ally starving to death. The same reports
are brought in by J. c. Brown, from Ju-
dith and Yellowstone counties. The snow
has fallen to great depth. and the alb
sence Of wind to carry it away makes it
next to impossible for cattle to get at the
grass. Pilgrim cattle are tar worse than
the native stock. and many fine herds will
be completely annihilated if the cold snap
is repeated.

A FORM STAMPED IN BLOOD
One of the Victims of Tug ExplosiOn
Leaves His Mark on a Wall.

L5aV5s HIs MaTK on a Wall,
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-While engaged in a
search yesterday for the remains of five
victims of the recent tug explosion a
crowd of men gathered about the spot
where the mangled remains of William
Borne, fireman, were picked up Wednes-
day night. Glancing up the tall side of
the grain elevator they were startled to
see pressed in blood on the slate wall a
perfect outline of a human form with the
hands spread apart, and held high above
the head. The impress of the face, BODY
and legs were on the side of the great
building, nearly 80 feet above the dock
level, and it was evident that Borne had
been projected with terrific force from the
deck of the tug up into the air and against
the elevator wall, dropping back, crushed
horribly to the dock below.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Col. Knox, of the
First Regiment Militia, said to-day with
reference to the stationing of a guard in
the armory at night, that he did not ap-
prehend any attack by Socialists on the

was good experience for the men. and
he thought it wise precautiOn. A
gentleman familiar with the Socialist or

they have 900 or 700 men who occasionally
drill In secret, but they have done so for
years, and the fact has no special signif-
canoe. cane Ihey drill secretly simply because
the law fOrbids drilling in public by any
