A WAGON ROAD.

From parties Just in from Red Bluff
we learn that a first-cass wagon road
could be constructed from this point to
the mines, reducing the distance at least
five miles. Parties have gone over the
proposed road and claim that material
could be as well hauled back as ere can
be hauled from the mines. The great
objection to the present road is the toll
bridge. If these parties are correct in
their views. it would seem as if -he time
had come for Bozeman to hump her
self and provide the road Many Of the
mine owners are Bozeman men. and
there can be no doubt that they would
use the road in preference to the one 10

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Word was brought to town on We'd
nesday of the death of NJ d. Scott, from
a stroke of lightning while in boat on
Yellowstone lake At first the story
could not be credited, buta telegram re-
ceived by w. c. Pendleton on Thursday
verified the news. Mr. Pendleton at
once telegraphed to Scott's father. X.
Scott of North Henderson, Illinois The
particulars are as follows: Scott and
three companions, one of whom was Mr..
Renshaw, chief of the Geological Survey
ing party were in a boat enjoying a sail,
when terrific thunder storm broke
with violent fury over their heads.
When within 100 yards of the shore, a
bolt of lightning struck the boat and tore
a large hole through the bottom. When
Renshaw recovered consciousness, Scott
near by lay dead, and the other men
were just showing signs of life. Scott
has long been a resident of the noun
tains and is well-known throughout
Montana. He had many estimable traits,
he was sincere, honest and benevolent;
and his word was unimpeachablc. He
was an exemplary member Of the Ma
sonic order, and large circle of friends
in Bozeman, where he spent the last
winter of his life mourn his death.
The following private letter written to
Mr.. Pendleton win throw additional
light upon the calamity:
II have to inform you of the death of
your friend, NJ D. Scott, under the fol
lowing circumstances
On the aftern DON Of Sept. 9th he with
myself. Mr. E. C. Quackenbush and Mr..
Amos Scott were out sailing on tine Yell
lowstone lake, when there came up a
sudden thunder shower and our boat
was struck by lightning, We were all
stunned, remaining unconscious for some
time.
When we regained consciousness we
found poor Dick dead, he evidently
having been killed instantly The bolt
had struck the top of his head, passing
down over his breast and left side, tear
ing his clothing into shreds, then on
down to his feet and out through the
bottom of the boat.
Upon recovering / found my right arm
partially paralyzed and slightly burned,
but otherwise was not injured; the
other two gentlemen escaping without
any physical injury except the natural
shock Of the nervous system. Fortunate
" we were close to the land, so with a
few pulls with the oars We were able to
reach the shore and escape the rapidly
filing boat.
We buried Dick Yesterday afternoon
on a bench near the lake, overlooking
the scene Of his tragic death and Of his
last faithful services. Will you be kind
enough to inform his friend Mr.. Yerkes,
of the Bozernan CHRONICLE, that the cir
cunstances Of his death may be made
public

A CRAZY NEGRO


George Harrison, negro oftlie black

Bozeman several years ago from Salt
Lake is now in the Virginia City Jail,
charged with attempting to break into
an isolated house occupied by two maid
en- ladies, near Virginia City, either for
the purpose of outrage or robbery. The
attempt was made on Sunday morning
about one o'clock, when, after gaining
admission to the outside shed, he com

was doing so, it is thought that he has
become temporarily crazed, as negroes
of his kind often do. There are some

There are many cases in which farm
horses need no shoes in the summer,
and would be better without them. 4
horse owned by the writer had hard, dry
hoofs and contracted feet, which was
caused by natural tendency, increased
by shoeing with high calks. For want
of use, the frog had withered away, and
the horse was always lame. The shoes
were taken off, and tips only were used.
These were thin plates, reaching around
the fore half of the hoofs only, to pro-
tect the toes from wearing away. The
frog and the heels thus came TO the
ground at every step; the bars were
able to spread, and the proper functions
of the feet, to preserve healthful action
and growth were given full play. The
horse soon became sound, the frog grew
healthfulIy, and the feet were in perfect
order, while the expense of shooting was
greatly reduced. Agricultur-
