4 Frank Mcguire arrived from the ranch
of the Benton e St. Louis Cattle COM
pany this morning. He informed RIVER
! PRESS reporter that as far as he was able
to learn there is big fire raging in the
Bears Paw mountains, how extensive it
is he could not learn. There are are no
other fires to his knowledge anywhere in
this vicinity. The beef roundup on the
. Marias range will not commence until the
25th. It was the intention to start in to-
. day, but arrangements could not be COM
pleted.
Nothing farther has been received re-
garding the sinking of the steamer Rose
. bud. In conversation with Mr.. Power
! to-day we learned that he does not think
the craft will prove loss. The bottom of
| the boat has been subjected to a severe
, strain last season and this and the pre-
E sumption is that one of the planks has
~ broken which let in water faster than the
pumps could take it out, and that she was
! allowed to sink in very shallow wafer.
We hope to see the little Rosebud come
up smiling next season.
The last issue of the Police News con-

ings, on the bank, while the horses and
the other victims are struggling in stream
as big as the Missouri. Jane looks as il
: the rescue was made insher robe desnuit.
It is a wonderful production, considering
the fact that it has since transpired the
= whole story was q hoax.
