Adolph Roensch, {. S. scout at Fort
Shaw, was down here last week looking
for the trail Of the Indians that stole the
herd of horses from Granville Stuart and
others. The Piegans are blamed for the
Job, but Dir. Roensch, after a careful ex-
animation, is satisfied that the Picgans,
in this instance, are not guilty, and that
other parties, probably the Crows, did
the work. The Piegan ford near Portage
couIee showed no fresh trail, such as it
would, had the Piegans did the stealing.
The machinery of the Cataract Roller
Mill was started up for the first time on

mined by the proprietor to shut down and
increase the water supply. A large
force Of men are o at work wild
ening the race, and by the latter part Of
next week everything will be in shape to
start up again. In the meantime what
wheat comes in will be taken into the ele-
