Mountain Lions In Montana.

Mountain lions are so numerous and
destructive to stock in Montana that
the Territory Government pays
bounty for their scalps. There were
IA mountain lions killed and paid for
in Montana in 1884; 161 in 1885; for
which $l,288 came out of the Terri
torial treasury; and this year the figures
promise to run up to 200 or thereabouts.
Mountain: lions in this section attain
pprodigious size.& Specimens are often
killed measusng nine feet from tip to
tip and Weighing not farfroh $50 to
800 pounds. Many more measuring
ten to eleven feet are often bagged,
and occasionally monster reaching
twelve feet clear, and perhaps longer,
is brought down by some lucky aud
daring hunter. The hide OF this animal
makes an excellent rug. Scarcely q
ranch in the whole Rocky Mountain
region is without i Aon-skin on the
floor. Ohe .catte7fanch on Powder
River has every room in the house car
peted with handsome. skins OF this
animal. The hide il 4 bright brown
on the back and rump, but fades away
into soft white brown towards the
sides, and becomes almost pure
white under the belly. The tail is tip
ped with white, and the head. eyes,
ears, nose, and features are an exact
reproduction of the domestic cat on a
larger scale.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.
Anarchist Conspiracy.
SEVENTH WEEK.

Both Spies and Schwab were on the wit
ness stand in the anarchist trial Monday
and the court room was crowded to snttl-
cation. Their manner of testifyinE resem-
bled that of the boy who said lit whlstied
ITSELF" Schwab went to the Haymarket
s.e him, then went to DeeriDg's, spoke 20
minutes. took lunch and some beer and
got home before midnight. 70 the inter-
rogation if he was an anarchisthis answer
we're evasive. Spies described his actions
at the Haymarket meeting. his speech was
very ordinary: He smiled when asked II
he lighted the bomb. He admitted writing
the Blood editorials and Revenge circular; ;
he gave his age as 81 years, IA OF which he
had been in this country.
The weakness and damage done by
Schwab and Spies on the witness stand de-
cided the defense to call no more OF the &C.
cused and they contented themselves with
calling Times reporter who was to give
a version OF an interview with the witness
Gilmer that would contradict Gilmers
testimony, but upon the cross examination
the reporter rather corroborated Gilmer.
The defense closed. The state called wit
nesses who spoke well OF Gilmer's char
acter for veracity and that ended the testi-
mOny.
On the 11th the lawyers took the case
and began their speeches the following Or
der being agreed upon; Mr.. Walker for the
State, Zeister for the defense, MI. lngham
for the State, Messrs. Foster and Black for
the defense, Mr.. Grinnell closing for the
State. Mr.. Walker used all of the first day
and had not finished when court adjourn
ed.
Mr.. Walker, for the State concluded his
address on Thursday and in the afternoon,
Mr.. Zeisler for defense, addressed the
jury, reviewing the conduct of the police
at the Haymarket riot. He did not finish.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Zeisler's address
for the defense on the 18th, Mr.. IDgham pro-
ceeded with the presentation for the State,
his address producing profound sensation
for it's clearness and eloquence, the pris
oners listening attentively, and showing
that they were visibly impressed and their
counsel exhibiting great agitation in an
ticipation Of it's effect.

Lord Churchill's Scheme.

The Irish Times, Conservative, states
that it is reliably informed that Lord
Randolph Churchill is engaged in drafting
a bill intended to solve the Irish problem.
The skeleton of the measure is already
done. the paper says, and it rovides for
universal local selt-government: through
out Great Britain and Ireland, giving
ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales
control each of it's own immediate affairs.
leaving the supreme power Of the I'm
perial Parliament undiminished. The bill
is described as a measure which opens the
door to imperial federation. The 1ull text
of the bill, the paper says, will not be
completed before next February, s'but,"
adds the paper, Ago far as it has gone it
has been submitted to Il e Marquis Of
Salisbury, the Marquis of Harrington, and
aud others, and is broad enough to satisfy
all moderate Irishmen.'
