soldier named Joseph King. First Lieut..
William NJ. Medcalf superintended the
work. Alter filling the rext shell and

the soldier to pieces, AMI fatally injuring
Mcdcall, who lived but halt All hour. His
body was ~fearfully mangled, while that of
King was picked up in pieces in the vicin
ity. The clothes of both caught fire.
Several Others were slightly injured and
temporarily lost their hearing. As about
ten or twelve persons were hear the shell
when 1t exploded, it is a wonder no more
were killed, as fragments Of the shell
flew IN every direction. 1t is surmisei
that some grains Of powder lodged in The
thread Of the hole in the she'll, and
the plug being screwed in brought about
the explosion. This is the first fatal acct
dent which has happened daring the past
twelve and a halt years. the length Of

surveys are being made by a timber COM
pany with the view of claiming that the
lands deprecated upon are odd sections
belonging to the railroad cDmpan and
not 10 the United States. The commis

to any lands along such portions Of its

Instead of disseminating the suits, that

portions Of Montana. Idaho and Wash
territories are being rapidly de-
nuded by it of all their valuable timber.
and unless the full force of the govern
