CAVALRY SERVICE
Why This Branch of the Service Is Pre-
ferred by Cadets.

why inns dranch OF the service rs EEo
ferred by Cadets.
''What branch of the service is most
popular with the graduates of the
schoolP"
"Well, 1 think the cavalry is the most
sought after now. 1t used to be the
artillery, but of late the conditions
have changed and the cavalry is more
popular"
"How have the conditions changedP"
''ln this way: In the artillery few
die and none resign. Now, in the cav
airy service on the plains, hard work,
exposure, Indian fighting, and that sort
of thing kills them off more RAPIDLY"
"And do you mean to say that this
makes the. cavalry service the more
popular? Do the military cadets SO
long for death that they have to court
it in this wayP'
sob, no. You don't understand al
all. They court promotion, not death;
and when they see a service in which
officers are dying off ahead of them
very fast, they see that that is the one
for them, for their chances of promo
ton are much better there; and that is
largely what the army officer lives for,
you know"
''Why was the artillery more popular
heretoforeP'
probably because it is considered a
higher grade of the service. There are
more things to learn in preparing for
the artillery service, and it is consid-
cred higher rank of the service. So
it happens that men who pass highest
often get this Service. This, perhaps,
made it the most popular rank former
ly, because all students observed that
the brightest men went into it-WeSi

The Grand Jury fled into the Third
District Court yesterday afternoon and
represented to Judge Zane that Lucy
Devereaux, who was again before that
body, and who it is alleged is the plural
wife of VIM. d. Newsom, declineed to
answer the following questions:
Who is the father of your little girl?
Is not William d. Newsom the father
of your little girl?
After you went to live at Newsom's
house did you not occupy the same bed
with him?
Therefore the Grand jury prayed that
the Court instruct the witness whether
the questions were proper ones for her to
answer
The Judge instructed Lucy that the
questions were proper ones. and the wit
ness and the Grand Jury then returned
TO their room, but were shortly afterward
ushered back into tine courtroom again,
Mr.. Dickson informing the Judge that
the witness "still declined to answer"
Judge Zane then committed Miss Dew

PHELPS BOUND OVER.
Two Thousand DOllar Bonds Res
qaired for His Appearance ia
Idaho.

Joseph NJ Phelps, of Montpelier, Bear
Lake County, Idaho, was arrested yester-
day afternoon, as announcedin last nights
DEMOCRAT, for unlawful cohabitation. The
telegram from Marshal Dubois, of Idaho,
requesting Marshal Ireland to arrest
Phelps and hold him, did not seem to be
sufficient authority to justify Commissioner
Mckay in releasing him on bonds and he
was therefore taken before Judge Zane who
released him over night on his own recog-
nizance. This morning Phelps placed him
self in the hands OF the United States Mar
shall and was escorted by Deputy Collin to
Commissioner McKay's office, where he
was admitted to bail in the sum OF 81 900,
Mr.. NJ. II. Stevenson and Isaac Hunter
OF this city going sureties for the required
amount.
Intelligence of an indictment having
been found against Phelps in the Third
Judicial Court of Idaho warranted the
course pursued. Joseph is sworn to APP
pear before the high tribunal of Idaho at
the next term, when a hearing will be
had and the particulars OF his polygamous
doings will be given to the public.

THE GOLD OF MONTANA.
wealth That Arrives IN
with butt Little Said A5ous AZ

! For the past thirty days an immense
amount of gold dust and gold and SILVER
bullion has been brought into Helena,
MT. from the surrounding camps WITHIN
but few miles of Helena. Right mere
| in old Last Chance Gulch considerable
amount is being taken out of some OF the
old placers. besides some new ground
that has never been touched before Is
showing up well, says the independent
By men who understood and are we'll ac-
ouainted with the old placer mines IN
this vicinity we are informed that large
amounts will be taken out each season
for many years to come. Inc Drum
Lummom came to the front yesterday
with $44, 900 worth of bullion, the most
of which contained gold, which IS the re-
suit of two weeks run. Inc puiilon
was on exhibition in the windows OF the
Merchants National Bank, and attracted
considerable attention. The immense
bars, numbering sixteen, were shipped
via the Northern Pacific express to the
United States Assay Office IN New YORK.
The Drum LummOm has been making
regular shipment for some time past, ana
from indications they will not only Keep
it up, but the amount will be consider
ably increased.
The Helena mining and reduction
works are doing their share towards in
creasing the wealth of the country. Dur
ing the month of April their bullion ship
ments amounted to over $125,0O0. The
outlook for this month will be better
than April.
The Legal Tender and Bonanza Chief
have had work resumed upon them, and
it will be but few days until they, too,
will share the honors with the others in
enriching our country.
The Elkhorn mines, in the Cow Creek
range, makes regular shipments of bull
lion. We are unable to obtain any fig
ures, but are reliably informed that they
run up in the thousands
In old Confederate Gulch, where the
once lively and we'll known Diamond City
is situated, quite an amount of dust is
still being taken out James King will
again run his bedrock flume this season,
and it is expected that the cleanup at the
end of the season will not fail short of
$4,000.
The bullion shipments of the Gloster
mine, the property of the Boston and
Montana Company, for April, amounts to
over $50, 900. The mine is showing up SO
well at present that future shipments
may be looked for that will be much
larger than any that has heretofore been
made.
We cannot begin to enumerate the diff
ferent places in the vicinity Of Helena
where gold dust and bullion is being
taken from. Suffice it to say that there
are many and many thousands OF dollars
per month brought into the city, which
is becoming so common an occurrence
that but little attention is paid to it,
hence the occasional publication of these
facts.
Montana's production OF gold and silver
for last year was $9,750,000. Mark these
figures down and put them away until
next year, so as to make a comparison
with the year 1885. Wen bet they'll be
beaten.

ternoon, and stated to reporter that he
had just finished complete canvass of
the district, and found one-third less snow
this spring than heretofore A great
many proSpectOr5 are commencing to
flock up the canyons to begin work. At
Mill B, South Fork, some work has been
done all winter on the King mine. Shaft
number one is down thirty-seven feet,
with vein three feet thick Number
two shaft is down fifty feet with vein
the same thickness. An open cut down
the hill, twenty-five feet to the bottom of
the shaft, shows the vein four feet thick
A tunnel has been run from the head OF
Mineral Fork, $50 feet from the last cut
named, and vein has been struck
nine inches thick. There is at least 200
tons OF ore in sight, averaging $50 ton
At the Silver Mountain mine, Mineral
Fork, three men are running a level to
strike the main shaft. They have about
eight inches of ore at the bottom of the
shaft, of fair grade.
The Prince of Wales employs twenty
eight men, who have worked the mine all
winter. The boys are turning out plenty
OF good rich ore and the camp is promis-
ing.
The Monk tunnel, situate at Argenta,
is in 145 feet, and was run to tap the
Dolly Warden vein. Mr.. Monk expects to
strike the vein within ten feet and to
show some first-claSs ore.

THE WORK OF A WILD HORSE.
ssJot,s Travis SzIstains PaihhNs
juries ia Lassoing an
Eutonred Steed.

Last night Mr.. E. j. Travis, the popu-
lar horseman of this city, was brought
down from his ranch in Idaho In very
critical condition. A DEMOCRAT reporter
called at the family residence on First
East to-day, and learned the full par
ticulars of the narrow escape from death
experienced by Mr.. Travis. 1t appears
that he went to his horse ranch about
two weeks ago, located on Snake river
ten miles from American Falls. A week
ago last Monday morning he and some
of his men secured a bunch OF wild horses
in corral, and one OF the boys proceeded
to lasso a particular animal OF the pand'
but failed TO accomplish the task. Mr..
Travis, with his characteristic horseman-
ship, got impatient watching the futile
attempts of the cowboys to rope the Wild
horse, and said he would just manage the
half-breed animal himself. He therefore
took the rome. went inside the pen, and
after considerable lodging and VAIN en-
deavors to keep out OF danger, ana at the
same time catch the horse, he succeeueu
in bringing him up standing. Nhen the
frightened brute realized he was IN the
hands of a manager, he Immediately
commenced an engagement in which Mr..
Travis was forced to play the lower role.
The animal seems to have gone mad at
his capture, and rearing upon his hind
legs he drove Mr.. Travis into corner
and rushed upon him with open mouth,
striking out with his feet and telling
"Jot' to the ground. Mr.. Travis ex-
erted his utmost strength in endeavoring
to free himself from the wild horse, but
the brute kept up his kicking, strik-
ing and biting until several OF the
men, by means OF the rope, pulled him
away from Mr.. Travis.
Upon examination Mr.. Travis face was
found to be badly cut and bruised, the
right shoulder dislocated and the arm
sprained. One of his ankles was
also severely sprained, the ten
don lacerated, and piece of
the bone of the ankle broken off. DR..
Benedict was promptly called, and at
tended to the painful injuries. Through
fear of inflammation setting in the face
wounds will not be dressed at present.
Mr.. Travis is an old-time trainer and
handler OF all sorts of horses, but says he
never expected TO get such treatment
from any source He knows that this
fiery devil will make a fine, durable ami
NAL when he gets him we'll broken and
gives him about two years on a thresh
ing machine or the city fire engine.
