Al Serious Accident.

David McDaniels, who has for some
time been driving team for D. @.
Browne, met with an accident yesterday
which came near proving fatal. The
train was on its way to Belknap and
was experiencing some difficulty i get
ting down the Cracon-du-Nez Eill. Nc
Daniels was assisting when lie slipped,
falling forward on his face. and two
wheels of wagon loaded with 1000
pounds passed over his shoulders. He
was brought to town suffering consider
ably. Examination showed that no
bones were broken, although there may
be internal injuries. He was resting
comfortably this morning. We trust
nothing more serious may be the result.

The unusually cold weather has caused

doors, except when the wood box is
empty; then one could see the man OF

quickly return to the interior of his

noses there has been no bad results, SO
far as learned, from the late spell o.
weather.
Stock has stood it well. There are
about 200 head of cattle on the Shonkin
near the foot of the mountains, and a

London Times OF America.
SaS

LONDON, December 31.-The Times
this morning has 10 columns Of review
of the events of 1884. Tn referring to
America it says: The absorbing topic
of the year was the election of o presi-
dent The session Of congress ending
in March was rendered abortive, both
parties desiring to avoid a direct issue
on the question Of free trade which was
momentarily shelved, the democrats
preferring to play the waiting game,
hoping to regain controlof the executive
by the probability of the republicans
selecting an Objectionable candidate,
and the hope was fulfilled. Blaine's
appeals to the anti-English spirit of the
Irish voters failed to seduce them from
their alliance with the democrats. The
prospect of the treaty with Nicaragua,
giving America control of the proposed
canal, has found little favor, and will
hardly be ratified by the present con-
gress. It rejoices at the revival of
industrial activity in the south as shown
by the New Orleans exposition.

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY,
Frank Pomeroy and Antelope Shirt Escape
From the County jail.

This morning our usually quiet COM
munity was startled by the report that
two prisoners had escaped from the
county Jail. Upon inquiry it was found
that Frank Pomeroy, who was arrested
for cattle killing last spring and was in
iail awaiting sentence, and the Indian,
Antelope Shirt, recently arrested at the
agency for horse stealing on the Yellow
stone, had employed the same means Of
escape that Thompson, the forger, tried
during the April term of court, viz:
crawling through the hole in the ceiling
above the water tank, crossing the raf-
ters, and, tying their blankets together,
dropping into the corridor from the trap
door above. The entire force Of the
sheriff has been in. search of them all
day. but up to the time of going to pre-, S
they had not been captured.
Pomeroy who has heretofore been
very tractable. had been allowed privil-
eges accorded to no other prisoner His
plans, no doubt, had been carefully
made He would have had only few
months to serve, as we have learned that
it was the intention Of Judge Wade to
date his sentence back in considera ton
of his having passed year in Jail. 1t
is probable that he will be caught, but
the Indian will no doubt make his way
beyond Chief mountain.
There is a disposition to blame the
county commissioners for the escape in
that they had not taken necessary pre-
cautions to make escape almost impossi-
be This could have been done at a
trifing expense. Many people are glad
that the prisoners escaped, as they be-
lieye the Indian should have been taken
to the county where the crime was COM
mitted, instead of saddling big ex-
pense bill upon Choteau county in case
he was convicted here. At all events it
proves that our jail is not as secure as it
has been believed, and prisoner who
is thinking night and day how to get
away will eventually outwit his keepers.

Rival Cattle Markets.

Ithas long been admitted that Chicago
is without rival as livestock market,
but if the Kansas City Droyers' News is
right, she will take the second place be-
fore long. That paper says: Kansas
City has the second largest stock yards
in the world Tt comedies the first place
to Chicago-at present. But men and
brethren, wait while, 'bide wee, and
Kansas City may snatch the scepter
from the Lake City" During the first
ten months of this year Kansas City
received 44O, ,3O1 cattle; ST. Louis, .407, ,653;
Cincinnati, 100, 1914, and Buffalo, 336, l30
cattle, making total Of 1,344 ,278. In
the same time Chicago received 1,528,-
658 cattle, or more than all the principal
livestock markets of the country to-
gether. The livestock traffic of Kansas
City has indeed made most ereditable
growth in the thirteen years that have
passed since her yards were first opened.
