THE DEMENTED SOLDIER.
A Brief Sketch. Uf Jsmes Mcintosh
and His Strange Conduct.

Yesterday afternoon MINER representa-
tive met Mr.. NJ. Rutter, who for number
of months past has. known James McIn.
tosh, the unfortunate uan whom Consta-
bic Judge on Saturday last arrested and
lodged in the County Jail upon q charge oi
insanity. Mr.. Mcintosh is man OF good
education, about IS years of age, and in
Canada number OF years since followed
the avocation of q aschool- teacher. He has
a sister and brother, the latter ply ysician
in small town called Barre. in the Prov
ince of Ontario, Canada In that section
of country Mcintosh was married and his
wife died, leaving him son now about 10
or IL years Of age, who is taken eare OF by
his sister. After the death Of his wife
Mcintosh went to one of the interior couu-
cutting alarge quantity OF wood. He had
corded up about 1000 cords in the tim
Der, but a forest fire destroyed the entire
amount before he had delivered it, and he
lost every dollar OF its valne. Then
be turned his attention to quarts
mining, and began running tunnel into
the mountaip, but again fortune irowped
upon bis efforts, and after carrying il in
some 800 or 900 feet he WAS forced to
abandon it. again losing his total invest
lnent. Shortly after this re gave -unmis-
taxable evidence ot insanity. and he was
taken into custody. the result being that
he was sent to the asylum at Stockton,
leaving his child, who was with him, to the
care OF almost entire strangers.
HELP FROM HOME.
Six or eight months after ards in some
manner his brother heard Of his condition,
came west and secured his release, taking
both he and his child back to Canada. BY
good attention and careful nursing he was
restored to reason, and about a year ago
he came to Montana. having been engaged
during the past winter in chopping wood
since he told Mr.. Rutter that as soOn a.
he had his wood measured and received he
was going back to Canada, and it is prob.
able that when he was taken into custody
he was eavoring to carry out that plan.
He had on his person $6O.6O in money, a
good silver watch AID q number OF pistol
cartridges.
HIS CONDITION.
During Saturday night he appeared to
rest quietly and ate heartily at his meals
yesterday, but he maintained the same de-
meanor as when first brought to the County
all, nothing but something in relation to
military affairs seeming to arouse him
from his reverie. He stated to one OF the
officers that he had learned to drill when q
boy in school, and that he wanted to join
the army. Occasionally he will answer two
or three questions. and then drop back
into a semi-colnitose condition, standing
all the while in his cell, with his eyes and
thoughts apparently riveted upon some
particular spot in the cell, and seldom sit
ting down. He will be examined by a COM
mission at once, and his friends will also
be notified OF his whereabouts, and they
will probably again come after him, as it
is said that his brother. the physician, is
quite well OF.

IT is an open secret that the grand jury is making d thorough investigation of the commercial product sold by our merchants under the name O. butter, much of which is supposed to be the product of bogus butter factories. The Territorial statutes do not prohibit its sale, but they require that It shall be plainly labelled with the word, "oleo- margarine" and that the dealer shall keep posted in three conspicuous places, plscards bearing the inscription, "Oleomargsrine Sold Here" The pen- slty for the first ofTense is fine of not less than five dollars; for the second offense 8 fine of not less than one hun dred dollars or imprisonment for sixty days, and for each succeeding otense a fine of five hundred dollars and impris- onmeut for ninety days. The law IS pretty strong-almost equal to some of the buttsr-and If it is not a just aud proper law, i:s enforcement will bring the question of its repeal to aD issue. For our part, We prefer to receive the proper product of the churn when We purchase butter, snd not another sub- stance as a deceptive substitute therefor. If ones taste prefers the manufactured article, it can be gratifed as well under its legitimate name But our laws should not stop at this point. Food adulterations of all kinds should come under their ban. Bad food begets dis ease and it ought not to be permitted sold under any circumstances.

 Not to go into any scientific detail these are sixteen in number and are known to sportsmen under the append. ed English names and to the scientific world ornithological by the Latin and Greek triminology following the com mon names in brackets-a word or SO as to their comparative abundance may be of interest.

 The MRllaId AuRs boschas) abundant ID winter on the San Pedro. The Sprigtail or Pintail. (Dafila acuta) con- mon Tn winter.
 The American WidgeOn (Nareca americana) rather common in winter. The Gsdwall or Grey duck ,Chaulelas- mus streperus) Apparently rare.
 The green-winged Teal (Querquedula csrolenseLsls) not uncommon.
 The Blue winged Teal e discors) about the same in abundance Hs the last.
 The Red-breasted or cinnamon Teal @. cyanoptera) The most common of the Teal duck.
 The Greater Black-head duck (Fuligu la marila) rather common in winter.
 The Lesser Black head duck (Fuligrla sflinis) apparently rare,
 The Red-head duck (FuligalB ferina americanal abundant at times and com monly confused with its near ally the Canvas Back Fuligula valisneriR) which 1 have met with but seldOmly. The exact differences are not great to the casual hunter, but the Canvas Back may always be determined by the much greater size of the bill, the bare part Of which on the forehead is very conspicu- ous.
 The Buddy Duck CEusmstura rubids) Is at times not uncommon about thIs region.
 The Butter Ball or Buiiie Head (Clan1 gula albeOla) Is apparently uncommon. The Shoveller Duck (Spstula clypeata) rather common and one of the best table ducks. Goossnder or Saw-Bill duck (Mergus merganserl, apparently un- common.
 The Hooded Mergsnser Mergus cuc- culatusl, rare,
 These are the ducks that are fit for the table, except the two last. There are besides these, casually, some kinds of Grebes, Mud Hens and Divers that not pass muster ss true ducks.

A gentleman, just up from Sonora gIves the fOllowIng particulars of thIs tragedy: "A band of Indians, number. Ing some thirty wIgwams, attacked 6 party riding ID blackboard, fifteen miles southwest of Nscosari, on the west side of the NGcOssri mine, killing one Mexi- can, also an American, named Reese and one mule and wOundIng a man named Kirk, severely, in the knee. Kirk cut loose the other mule and escaped. The same band of Indians then proceeded to Wm. BIown's nIne, where Mckurtin was killed last September, and killed Wm. Brown and James Moses, his companion. Thence the Indians proceeded south, camping one ruile from the San Pedro mine and stole eighty horses, about NscOsari and Cumpas, Paredes being among the losers. The Indians went in to the town of CumpRs and took horses from the stables and corrals, under the noses of the owners. After this exploit the band started in the direction of the Sierra Msdres.-E pitsph.
