IllSfarred.

Oh, prayers and sympathetic tears
For each and every ill-starred knight,
For whom ring no victorious cheers;
For those who, early in thefght,
Saw daylight turning into night
And yielded up to Fate their spears.
The denied shield, the pierced cuirass,
Sad story is it that they tell
OF brave young knights whose hopes alas!
Bore meagre fruit; who fighting fell
Before the foes they could not quell;
Who found no wine within the glass.
For some there are bat i'll equipped
To face the world: some weak of will
And some faint-hearted feeble-lipped.
Fit but the lowest posts to fill,
Soon shivering with the coward chill,
And of the armor courage" stripped.
0, we gainst when the fates are set.
Zen though you've failed on every field
To gain fair honor's banneret,
Let high above be held each shield
Each one with purpose strong annealed,
And each shall win a victory yet.

it looked practicable, WIS hardly
to be expected, for various reasons,
chiefly the fear OF the old county that
the question of county division would
again be raised by residents of the
Missouri valley, and they desired u

Had the matter been urged prior to
their county convention it might have
received favorable consideration, but
politicians are not stepping down and
out these days to accommodate any
one. knowing this it was almost
auiacious to suppose that Meagher
county democrats would make the
concession.
The republicans Of Fergus county
have not given the question serious
thought, so far as we know. In fact
there is no pressing necessity for
representation this winter. The laws
to be enacted or repealed are OF gen
eral application to the territory, and
Fergus county will not suffer with her
interest, left in the hands Of both par
ties.
The only practicable method that
can now be adopted would be for both
parties to unite on man and tender

both tickets, and have his expenses

The morning oi The 3oth OF August soue
freight teams were coming from Benton to
this place for freight and were cooking
breakfast at the crossing OF Arrow creek,
when they were shot int by a war party

their stock-about twenty head of horses
and mules. Is they happened to have two
old guns o! some kind in their wagons they
got them ont; and one OF the party who
had a saddle horse tied to the wagon got
after the Indians and managed To get back
the stock with the exception OF ono mul,
and two horses, which the Indians had
already caught and mounted. or course
the Indians then got away. BY the time
the boys got down here the Indians had a
days start, and besides my horses were
over the river hauling hay. so did not fol
low them as we should like TO have done.
Something must be done: they are steal
ing horses every day from citizens around
Fort Assinnaboine and the officer in com
mand of that post is doing nothing what
ever to stop them. in the meantime every
soldier at the fort Is shooting forty shots Il
day at "tin Indian" targets on the parade
grounds. These are facts.
Now, another case that wants looking
after. There are camped in the Bear Paw
mountains, on the north side at least 200
Cree Indians, most of them from across the
line. They arc not getting any provisions
from the agency at Belknap, OF course, and
are supposed to make their living by chop
Ming wood for the wood contractors. They
are Il mighty hard lot, sure. Their friend.
