Send Them to Deer Lodge.

Mr.. p H. Hughes informs us that
four of his horses have been stolen, re-
branded and turned upon the range
again. Mr.. Castner also complains of
having three horses treated in the same
way. Besides these we have heard of
many cases of false branding in the yicin-
ity of the Belt and Red coulees. Here is
good opportunity for the stock detective
to get in his work. The penalty for re
moving or altering a brand is extremely
severe. Upon its strict enforcement de
penas the success of the stock business in
the territory. We hope that these mis-
creants who are increasing their bands by
substituting their own brand for those of
the rightful owners, will be speedily
Deer Logded.

DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRE
In Sand Coulee Burns Over an Area
Twenty
Miles Square. But by Hard Work Is
Subdued.

Had it not been FOR the prompt action
of Messrs Fields, Eaton, Wren, Brown,
Anheier and others in stopping the fire
on Tuesday last, very serious conse-
quences woald have followed. As it was,
the flames spread over about twenty
square miles altogether, The grass ignit-
ed il three different places, which fact
leads rs to the belief that it was started
BY some parties voluntarily It began
first near Tneo Gibson's ranch in Sand
Coulee and spread north towards Great
Falls almost reaching the townste. Mrs.
Day was Obliged 70 fly to town with her
children. Charlie Johnson's barn was
burned and several shacEs narrowly es-
capet, the destroyer. A small amount of
grain WAS crenated. At some distance
up tie Coalee the fire broke out in what
is known as Boston Coulee' and again
in ~Ming's Coalee.' Whether the fire
was started maliciolsly, accidentally or
miseEicvous!y the culprits should be
promptly dealt with, if found. While
everything is 50 dry, people cannot be too
careful. A pipe, cigar or even the deadly
little Cos, of tie dudes the cigarette,
may destroy thousands Of dollars worth
of property, if eG~elessly handled around
dry grass. II may be we'll right here to
publish the penalty which awaits the dis
! covered fre-fenl The laws Of Montana
upon this subject read as follows:
ANY person who shall carelessly
set FIRE to any timber, woodland or grass,
except fos useful or necessary purposes,
or who shall at any time make camp fire,
or shall light aay fire, for any purpose
whatever, without taking sufficient steps
to secure the same from spreading from
the immediate locality where the same
may be used, or shall fail in any instance
to extingaish said fire before leaving the
same, shall be deemed guilty of felony
and upon conviction thereof, shall be
fined in any sum not exo@diag one thous
and dollars, OF Imprisonment in the terri
torai prison, not less than one, nor more
than three years, on both such fine and
imprisonment. and shall be liable for all
damages resulting from such act.

Of course everyone here is disgusted
with the veto, but it is SO evident that
the railroad will come here within the
time prescribed, just the same, that no
one feels at all solicitous.

Otter Creek Celebration.
OTTER CREEK, Montana, July 9Th, 81

OTTER CREEK, Montana, July 9Th, Sc.
To the Great Falls TRIBUNE.
Otter Creek and vicinity celebrated the
Fourth of July on Monday, in very
patriotic manner, somewhat after the
good old New England style. At an
early hour goodly number Of people
assembled The first thing on the pro-
gram was the raising Of the National Flag.
As the glorious old flag spread out its
brig stars and stripes upon the Montana
breeze, three rousing cheers went uf'
that reverberated among the bluffs, after
which the "Starspangled Banner was
sung is very spirited manner, followed
by 'sAmerica" equally effective. The
company then listened to very eloquent
and ablv-written address from Mr.. Lee,
of Butte, which called forth much ap
plause. The tables were then spread and
fairly groaned beneath the weight OF
good things prepared by tile ladies. The
banquet was served in Eton Hall, on 4
W Fords ranch The floral decorations
were equisit, much praise is due the fan
hands which arranged them. Next on
the program was the forming of q tenn
perance Band of Hope for the children
who, with their badges of blue and blue
satin banners, marched to music with
much satisfaction, evidently feeling that
they had started on the right road Ther
came the rural sports, which afforded
amusement tor all. Added to all was
some very fine singing; Mrs. Wall and
Mrs. Campbell presiding at the organ

above the left hip bone and evidently pen

crowd hit him with a rock or bo&rd.
Such events are greatly to be deplored in
any community. but it would be we'll if all
roughs who come to this town with the
expectation Of screwing up their courage
with whisky and then cleaning out tie
town, would be admonished by the fate

Call Time.

We all augilt to call it somewhere near
alike There is only about an hours diff
ference in the extremes of time kept by
numerous chronometers in Great Falls.
OF course each man swears by his own
The swearing does not end here, for the
boarding house landlord swears because
YOU are SO late. The boarder looks at his
watch as he comes in to breakfast and
swears because everything is cold and
wonders why the courteous attendant
looks at him as though it was matter of
dispute whether it was dinner OF supper
he wanted, breakfast long since having
been out of the way. The tired laboring-
man begins with the latest whistle and
quits with the earliest and nobody pre-
tends to keep an appointment within three
quarters of an hour. One man has St
Paul time, another Bismarck, third
Helena. Someone else hangs out for rail
road time and the ranchman from his
isolated cabin has the sun-time act down
very fine. Lets reform. Some one time
should be agreed upon. One of the mill
whistles might be accepted as standard
or a first-class clock centrally located.

Statesmen III Their Bours of Ease.

VI
From the Ghicayo NeWS,
Colonel William X. Morrison and the
Hon. John Sherman were discussing
the relative merits OF their different
State Legislatures the other day, when
the Ohio statesman said:
81 never knew a citizen of my State
who was ashamed of being member of
the General Assembly, and that's more
than | can say for Illinois," and then,
when the Colonel asked for proof of the
assertion, Senator Sherman continued:
Away back in the 5es there lived in
Hamilton county, Ohio, a disrepdta5le
fellow named Johnston. He finally
moved out to Illinois and the community
breathed freer for his absence. A few
years ago one of Johnston former neigh
bors met him at Springfield. After some
conversation, Johnston said:
"'I suppose left pretty hard repu-
tation behind me in Ohioa'
"l am sorry to say you did was the
unfeeilng reply.
"'l hope you'll tell them I've reform
ed, continued Johnston, 'and that Tm
also a member of the Illinois Legisa,
ture'
"The friend promised to do So and
started away, when Johnston called him
back.
You say they still regard me as a
pretty tough citizen out there
again his friend answered in the
affirmative.
"'Well, said Johnston, sinking his
voice to whisper, 4 guess you better
tell them everything you know about
me except that I'm member of the
Illinois Legislature. don't think I'd
say anything about that
