UNwELcoMED SETTLERS.

Some months ago Messrs. Harvey and
Davis took up some land on the Red
Lodge, this county. This fact seems to
be distasteful to the Billings Gazette,
which proceeds to do them up" in a
manner peculiar to that paper 1t will
take more evidence than that cited in
the Gazette to make the friends Of Mr..
Harvey believe that he willfully set fire
10 the prairie as charged. We reproduce
the article
"A stock grower from the Red Lodge
country has given us some particulars of
the land frauds perpetrsted in that sec
ton by Bozeman syndicate, to which
we referred a few weeks ago.
It seems that thirteen sections Of what
is considered agricultural land has been
located by number of Bozeman people,
of whom only three have been on the
ground. 1t is near the mountains, and
subject to greater precipitation of mois-
ture than lands further out. The wild
grass grows over two feet high, and one
man there cut oyer ninety tons of hay,
at the rate of two tons per acre. on the
so-called desert lands, this year. There
is not an eighth Of any one of the desert
claims that has not one or more springs
or creeks on it, 1t is considered by
those best acquainted with the land,
that it would yield abundantIy under
@editivation without irrigation, four years
outof five, if not every year and that
it does not come under the desert land
act in any sense. Tho locators are
neither stock growers nor agriculturists,
but have simply located on speculation.
One of them is bartender, another a
law clerk, and others have no occupation
in particular. The three men who re-
presented the syndicate on the ground
have already bluffed off several families
who came there to locate homesteads
and prescriptions on agricultural lands.
Some of she desert claims are staked |
over pre-emption claims of actual set
tiers. One of these settlers demonstrated |
with representative of the syndicate,
and the next day the latter was seen by |
three different men, setting fire to the
prairie. The fire consumed a quantity |
of hay, put up by one of the settlers, be-
sides destroying number of sheep and
other property. The offender was
brought to Billings for trial, but as the
offence was committed in Gallatin coun-
ty, he has not yet met his deserts. 1t
seems from this that the fire was not the
result of carlessness, but was set with
evil intent, by the INSCRIPTIONS agent of
an INSCRIPTIONS syndicate.
The actual settlers and stockgrowers of
the neighborhood propose to enter a
vigorous protest AGAINST the land-grab-
bling scheme, and it is to be hoped they
will succeed in breaking it up. Our in
formant says the land agent at Bozeman
did not accept the usual payment of rs
cents per acre on the desert claims, but
made some record of them, SO he proba-
bly, suspects that it is not all right"

CONSOLIDATED.

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad directors, held
at New York yesterday, the proposition
of the American Express Company to
consolidate with the Wells, Fargo Ex-
press was no doubt adopted. The st.
Paul Pioneer Press says: "If it is adop-
ted, it means practieally.'a consolidation
of the Northern Pacific and Wells-Fargo
Express companies, for the latter and
the American Company are practically
one concern. If this is about there will
be but one express line operating over
the Northern Pacific railroad line. 1t is
likely that some such arrangement will
be made, as several Of the Northern Pa
ci6c directors are heavily interested in
the American Express company"
In the event of this arrangement the
American Express Company win con-
meet with Wells-Fargo & Co. at st. Paul
as heretofore. This will of course give
the WelIs-Fargo company the whole
business on the line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad from St. Paul to Port
