Montana Indians.

On Monday the United States senate
considered the Indian appropriation bill.
In the discussion Senator Vest read let
ter from the governor of Montana, saying
that, Notwithstanding the relief offered by
the government, the condition of Indians
in parts of Montana from exposure and
starvation was pitiable in the extreme.
Vest then proceeded without any display
Of sentimentality to urge upon the senate
the necessity of preventing the Indians
from starving to death, Of teaching them
to work and support themselves, but un-
til the lesson was learned to feed them
and treat them with as much considera-
ton as is received from missionary socie-
ties of this country by the natives of
Asia and Africa. Senator Dawes spoke
in the same strain and as result the
emergency fund in the bill was increased
from $25, 900 to $4,000. This fund is
to be used in cases of emergency, as
when Indians are starving and the regu-
lar appropriation for their support has
been exhausted.

Singular Fatality.

Billings Herald: From letter from
Wyoming We learn of singular and fatal
accident that occurred at what is known
as Hot Sulphur Springs, on the Sinking
Water on the 9th of january. 1t seems
Thomas Hefron left Comte du Dore's ranch
with the intention of going to the North
Fork of the Sinking water, and nothing
more was seen or heard of him until the
morning of the Goth, when his pack horse
was found close to the ranch of Comte du
Dore, which led to fear that something
had gone wrong, and search being made
his saddle horse was found tied to a large
rock about 100 yards from the hot springs.
On close examination his dead body was
found in the hot water, where it had evi-
dently been lying from the morning of the
9th until the morning of the Goth. It is
supposed that he had gone in to bathe and
was suficated by the gas from the springs.
The whereabouts of his relatives is un-
known and any person that can give any
information that will lead to finding his
former home will greatly oblige his
friends in Wyoming by writing to NJ. c.
Tracy, care Comte du dore, Corbett, Wyo-
ming.

Blindness In Cattle.

An editorial in the Stockgrowers' jour
ual treats at some length the lately discov.
cred fact that the loss of Montana cattle
by falling over declivities or wandering in
mire holes is the result of blindness. In
vestlgation has shown that this blindness
is part of constitutional disease, the first
appearance Of which is marked by Ian
guor, stiffness in the limbs, loss of appe-
tite, thirst and fever. The eyes become
covered with white scum, causing partial
or total blindness in one or both eyes.
The disease is believed to be contagious
and also that it was brought into the ter
ritory by pilgrim cattle. 1t was particu-
larly noticed last summer among several
bands of states cattle. The disease is be-
lieved to account for SO many cattle being
found dead at the foot of cliffs and de-
clivities all over the ranges.

Accident at the Trestle.

Missoula Times: A serious accident
occurred at Marent trestle last Thursday
A rock fell from one of the newly built
piers and went crashing through the tim
bers in the trestle to the bottom of the
gulch. While the trestlc was being re-
paired, a plank on which four men were
standing broke, and Ed. Irvine fell to the
ground, striking on his breast across piece
of timber. He was reported seriously
hurt, perhaps fatally, and was removed to
the N. P. hospital here. Mr.. McGovern,
another of the laborers, grasped rod
above his head and was unhurt The
other two are not reported to have been
seriously hurt.

The Wyoming GOvernorship.

Among the applicants for the governor
ship of Wyoming territory, recently made
vacant by the death of Governor Hale,
are j. E. Warren, banker and merchant, of
Cheyenne, and Mr.. Taft of Nebraska.
1t is understood that the president will
compromise the matter 10y appointing Mr..
Warren governor, and will make Mr.. Taft
marshall, the present incumbent of the
latter office having been recommended
for removal. A democratic convention
was held at Cheyenne on Wednesday
which passed resolutions asking the presi-
dent to appoint to the governorship NJ. E.
Post, the territory's present delegate in
congress.

SuSpeCted DYnamitar.

Rev. Father Kelleher, formerly pastor
of the Catholic congregation at Virginia
City but now visiting in England, has ever
since his arrival there been under police
surveillance as suspected dynamiter.
Not only was he watched but those seen
in his company were shadowed and letters
signed by or directed to him were opened
before delivery. The English authorities
are certainly looking after Irish-Americans
with an impartiality and thoroughness
that should suppress dynamite. But it
doesn't.

Charles Dickens once received check

al on condition that one line of compli-
mentary reference Of Holloway's cures

ems was then publishing in monthly
numbers. Dickens sent the check back
by the messenger, who brought it with
out answer at all.

es to those in force January 1st, 1885.

now pending.
The Northern Pacific railroad has issued
additional forms of New Orleans tickets,

City, St. Louis and Memphis to New Or

the route to the Worlds Exposition.
Ell. Westlake has resigned the position

partment Of the Northern Pacific for the
purpose of starting restaurant on his own
account in Chicago. Associated with him

recently connected with a stock brokerage
firm in St. Paul
The Railway Age says: Of thirty mine
roads whose comparative earnings for the
second week in january are published,
twenty-eight report an increase over the
same period in 1884. Some of the heav-
iset increases are reported by important
western roads which, during the latter
months of 1884, showed large decrease
compared with the previous year.
A bill has passed the lower house of
congress and will probably pass the senate
granting the Union Pacific the right to
build direct line from Sioux City west
to Granger on its main line. It is said
that such line will shorten the distance
to San Francisco and Portland by $50
miles. 1t is understood that the road will
be begun Immediately upon the passage

dent of the Washington Colony at Whatcom,
w. T., was blown to atoms on the .7th by

years.
