A NEW HORSE DISEASE.

A seriously fatal malady is affecting
large numbers Of horses in the upper Vel
lowstone valley, particularly on the Cas-
cadia side Of the river. A large number
of ranchmen and stock growers are hav-
;ng their herds decimated by the disease.
Its symptoms as described to the Enter
prise are: stiffness of the limbs at first,
only noticeable when the animal attempts
to step over an obstruction; this is fol-
lowed by difficulty of breathing; then by
an apparent thickening or s~luggishness
OF the blood until death ensues. Mr.. S.
L. Holiday believesit to be a sort of con-
eestion mostly affecting the lungs, and
looks upon it as much the same disease
as affected horses in that vicinity last
year. If any of our readers or exchanges
can more definitely diagnose the affection
or prescribe any probable remedy they
will confer a favor by communicating
their Observation-Disclosures
The TeIBUNE's representative, who re-
Gently visited the Deep creek and Chest
nut countries, reports a fatal malady, SIM
liar in some respects to the above, except
ing that the animal enjoys a hearty appe-
tite up to the time death ensues, often
times eating a hearty feed just before dy-
ing. The disease, of whatever type it is,
battles the skill of the best veterinarians.
Quite a number of horses have died from
the disease in the valleys. above men,
toned, and the horse ~raisers are alarmed
at its ravages.

MONTANA PIONEERS.

At the meeting of the Montana Pho
neers held at Helena August 2S, 1885, 1t
was unanimously voted that each Ii who
he'd signed the roll OF Pioneers, aud every
one euiitled soto do, should be requested
tx furnish the corresponding secretary,
during the coming year, a brief sketch OF
his lie for the purpose OF making up a
pioneers Record" similar to that OF
California, and that all the newspapers Of
Montana be requested to publish this no
tice for three months and aid in the &C
compl.shment of this enterprise.
The sketch should contain at least the
date and place of birth, the date, route
and means Of conveyance in coming to
Montana, place OF residence since coming,
o~ecupalion and most important events
during such residence, with auy addition
al matters the writer may wish to make.
Many of the pioneers are dead, and it
is earnestly desired that some friend may
supply the record for such ones.

A SINGULAR PHENOMENON.

At the mouth of Cottonwood creek in
Gentle valley, and about ten miles east
of Oxford, says the Blackfoot idaho
Register, there are some half dozen warm
springs. One of these has been used for
bathing purposes for many years b ythose
living in the vicinity, and also by pleas
ure seekers. 1t was about one hundred
feet in diameter and circular in form and
very deep, and the temperature Of the
water made it delightful for bathing pur-
poses. On Wednesday night last the
people living near it were startled by a
loud roaring noise like the rushing of "a
huge body of water over a cataract, and
in the morning it was found that the bot
tom had dropped out of their bath tub.
All that remained Of the spring was a
hole in the shape of a gigantic basin about
fifty feet deep and containing about four
feet of boiling water at the bottom.

ANOTHER MURDER.

Information reached town yesterday af-
ternoon that a young German named Au-
gust Troutwein, living in the bend about
eight miles below town across the river,
had been found in the road near his place
shot through the head. He had two
sheaves of oats by him and had evidently
been to his field to get a feed and was on
his way back to his house. Who com
mitted the murder is at present unknown.
A small band of Indians were camped by
his garden Wednesday evening and It is
thought that possibly he had some trouble
with them about their taking vegetables
Or other things and that they killed him
out of revenge. There are also other
theories in regard to the case which will
be developed hereafter. The Indians
thought to be implicated in the murder
left the place yesterday morning. Trout
vein was a promising young man about
twenty-five years old. His father. who is
working at Benefits ranch near Stevens
vile, was sent word Immediately of the
sad affair.-Missoulian.

NEIHART NEWS.

NEIHART, NJ. T., Sept, 81, 1885.
The Hudson company's smelter expects
to start up on the first of the coming
month, and will give employment to near
ly one hundred and fifty men.
Everybody is hopeful about the camp
and are daily expecting some develop
ments to be made from the purchase
made by the syndicate.
The "Uncle George lode, owned by
Professor Burkhardt, is showing up splen-
didly, and is improving as they go down.
The shaft is now over $50 deep.
The W~hippoorwill lode, jumped by
Charles Crawford, is being worked, but
there is no show in the world for Craw-
ford to hold the claim whenever the right
full owner desires to claim ii.
VIM. Glassman, of Benton, made the
camp a visit last week, presumably to col
lect samples of ore, but inasmuch as he
is interested in a Salt Lake smelter, it is
predicted that he was looking to see IT it
would likely pay him to remove his snelt-
CT here.
| heard that Frank Coombs, of Benton,
was here last week, but did not get to see
him. Frank has a large interest in a num-
Der of valuable claims in the Snow creek
district, which are bound to come to the
front.
Neihart is beyond a doubt the making
of the best camp in the world. Indica-
tions point that way. Butte is not to be
compared with Neihart and Barker, as
will be proven before long.
Great Falls is likely TO be the supply
and Quitting point for this camp. Here
tofore everything has been thrown over
on the other side of the to White
Sulphur, but owing to the almost imnass-
able condition of the road nine months
in the year, leading from that point into
the camp, it will necessarily be abandon
ed and Great Falls will reap the reward.
The road down Belt and through Sand
Conlee is ever now above the average
Montana road, and with a little improve
ment can be made excellent.

ANOTHER MONTANA INDUSTRY.

The Enterprise is authority for the fol-
lowing: Charlie shipman, a man of all
work at Walter Grannis' ranch up Shields
river, has made an interesting experiment
in garden culture this year. Last spring
he got some tobacco seed and, when it
was two or three weeks later in the season
than it need have been, got about 200
plants growing in good shape. Mr.. Gran
mis- says they have attained a most laSuri-
ant growth and he thinks that fully $50
pounds Of tobacco leaves will be gathered
from them.
