Death of Charles a. Wiseman.

LOUISIANA, Mo-. November 28.-A tel
egram was received this morning by ex-
Marshal Fred Wiseman conveying the
sad intelligence of the death OF his brother,
Charles A. Wiseman. The event occurred
very suddenly at Arlington, Kas. Mr..
Wiseman was for many years Missouri
river pilot, but made his home in this city,
where he married Miss Abbie, daughter
of Geo. Livensberger, and old citizen.
For several months Mr.. Wiseman has been
special agent of the Springfield Fire and
Marine Insurance company and had his
headquarters at Sterling, Kas., where his
wife was making preparations to join him,
when the terrible shock came to her.
Deceased was brother of Major Theodore
Wiseman of Lawrence. Kas., Fred r.
Wiseman and Frand G.. Wiseman and
Mrs. VIM. A. McQuill of this city. He
leaves wife and two children. The re-
mains will be brought to this city for in
terment.
Mr.. Wiseman was well known to all old
residents of Fort Benton. He was among
the oldest and best pilots of the upper
Missouri. His last trip to Fort Benton
we believe was on the Josephine of the
Coulson line in 1888.

BosUon Wool Market.

Advices from Boston of the 9th ult.
state that the greater part of the business
done has been in low medium woods. The
heavy run on this particular kind of woel,
to the exclusion of better grades has left
the market we'll cleaned up, and prices
have stiffened. Many dealers claiming
that fine medium wools are fully 1c higher
than during the week previous. Several
large transactions in Texas, and fine
Montana, and other medium grades were
made. twenty-five thousand pounds of
fine Montana was sold 24c; $4,000 lbs,
fine Montana, at 22@23c. The quotation
being about the same as the week previous
viz. for Montana fine, 22@23c; medium,
24@25.

Border Depredat1ors.

The Macleod Gazette in speaking OF
horse stealing as now carried on between
Montana and the northwest territories
rangement is effected, the question of sto-|
len horses will always be a yexed and
troublesome one. Both Bioods and south
Peigans do a wholesale business in thew
ing. Nothing il simpler than for the
Bloods to transfer the horses stolen here
TO the Peigans, and vice versa. As mat
ter of fact this il done. At present the
law regulating stolen horses is very one
sided. While orr laws will punish an In
dian who steals Il horse in Montana and
brings him to this country, quite as se-
verely as III he had stolen him here, the
American Indian can steal from ns with
impunity and return 70 his own country
scott free. An immense number Of Amer
lean horses have been recovered by the
police here, aud returned TO the owners,
and in several instances che thieves have
been tried in our courts and sentenced TO
the penitentiary for n number of years.
Such an arrangement cannot 20 on for all
time. Americans can scarcely expect our
government to capture and punish their
thieves. and recover their property, unless
there is some attempt at reciprOcation.
If the Montana Legislature cares for the
protection of the citizens of that country,
they must enact such laws and take such
steps as will enable them TO deal with
horse thieves from this side o. the line as
effectllally as do the authorities here with
thieves from Montana. We pointed out
this two years ago, and the Montana press
took it up, and urged their legislature to
move in the matter. We would advise
them to set the ball rolling again, if they
wish the Canadian government to contin-
ne to assist them in catching their thieves.
AS matters now stand, there are a great
many Montana horses in the Blood camp.
There are probably great many Canadian
horses in the South Peigan camp. If our
men go over there they are rs a rule eava-
lierly treated, and at the best, they are ac-
corded a surly permission to look through
the Indian herd, and Il thes see any Of
their horses, to recover them themselves
if they can.
When our treatment by the American
authorities is considered, Montana men
need not be surprised, and will have no
right to consider themselves i'll treated, if
they are politely told to look through the
Indian herd and recover the horses them
selyes-if they cam"
There is great deal of justice in the
above remarks. Americans crossing the
line seeking lost horses are invariably
treated courteously by the officials, and
an earnest effort is always made TO recov-
er stolen animals. It is only fair that the
same courtesy should be extended to par
ties who come to Montana to seek stolen
stock. We believe there is no law to ar
rest and punish horse thief for crime
committed in another country, but the
matter is becoming serious enough to JUS
tify new clause being inserted in the re-
ciprocity treaty with Canada and the mat
ter should be brought before the authori-
ties at Washington this winter and an ef
fort made to amend the treaty.

cessant sharp rifle fire is going on from
the palace and its surroundings, and an
occasional thunder of big guns is heard.
The engagement has not yet become gen.
eral. The streets are deserted except by
a few persons who are anxious to witness
the proceedings. At 8: 80 o'clock this
morning firing was begun from Lima

Railroad Building.

AS soon as it was announced that the

broad-gauge branch to Butte it was eyi-
dent that the Union Pacific would resume
work on its partially completed branch
from Dillon to Helena. And this Dillon
branch will not only come to Helena, but
will 60 to Bozeman as we'll, for the route
it takes is as favorable to one as the other.

try during the coming year, and with it

tension. AS sure as the Canadian Pacific
comes to Benton the Northern Pacific will

il will not be many before there will be a
continuous line from Alaska to Mexico,
and from Hudson's bay to New Orleans.
The road advancing through northern Da-
kota, by way of DEVILS lake, will never
stop till it reaches Benton and possibly
may cross the main range at the Sun river
pass and keep on to che coast. It is no.
ticeable that whenever railroad building
revives, after period of depression, it
makes. larger advances than ever before.
The high tide reaches a higher mark than
at any previous rise. Though there are
no longer any such fabulous gains to be
made out of railroad construction as for
merly, there is still wide margin for
profit, and this margin Is widest where
there are no land damages TO pay. The

of railroad building was between the

Not Much Danger.

MONTREAL, November 30.-The best
judges of the Indians appear to think
there will be another rebellion in the
northwest in the spring. There are some
fears that the half-breeds who went to
Montana after the Riel rebellion may stir
up sympathy there among the American
Indians and half-breeds. One who knows
the Indians well says:
If they rise again they will confine there
operations to the south of the Canadian
Pacific railway, as they will then be near
er the American border and be in coun-
try where there are plenty Of cattle.
