Increase In Horse fie sh.

The number of good horses being
brought into the territory this spring
is the subject of much comment, not
only In the territory but in the east.
These horses are brought in for breed
ing purposes, and by present appear
ances the ranges in few years will
have about as many horses on them as
cattle. 1t is generally conceded that
in a few years Montana will be sup
plying the world with horses, and
such may be fact, and no one will
doubt 1t when looking at the rapid
increase made in the number of horses
last year over the season previous. In
1854 only dozen or two were shipped
from the territory to the eastern
market, and last summer and fall over
1900 Montana horses were sent to the
eastern markets. This number will
be increased this year, and the brand
Of horses will be superior.

A Military Sortie.

Lieut.. Brewer with a squad of fifteen
mounted men of the Seventh cavalry
left Fort Keogh on Tuesday night to
roundup nineteen Assinniboine Iu-
dams who have been loafing around
the vicinity Of Graveyard bottom with,
it is believed, larcenous intent. The
red beggars are afoot and it is suppos-
ed they have designs on the Crow
ponies, but as they would probably not
draw very fine distinction between
Crow horse and white mans If the
latter fell into their clutches, their
presence was objected to by the
ranchers in the vicinity and their re-
mOval requested. The Cheyennes
were also notified by the military au-
thorities of their presence and in.
structed to keep them off Of the Chey-
enDe reservation.

HUNTING NOTES.

C. w. soper and Jno. Keeter opened
the sportmen's season by bringing the
first chickens to town on the morning Of
the 18th at very early hour. Without
dog they flushed coyey on the pre-
misses of Henry Helinger near town, and
killed enough birds to give them credit
for the first birds Of the season. Mr..
Soper is an enthusiastic sportsman and
is somewhat pleased at his success
AIessrs. Benham and Award came in
next with twenty four birds, having
killed all they wanted and left covey
for future sport Mr.. Benham kindly
remembered the editor with brace of
birds.
Capt. Carlin, W. C. Pendleton, VIM.
lines and Will Frensham next returned
with GS mountain grouse. They report
ed splendid DAYS sport and an excel.
lent record for the Captains dog, Vie,
who is as staunch and as energetic as
any in the field. The Captain also re-
membered the CHRONICLE by the presen-
ation of some toothsome young grouse.
Messrs. Murphy, Mcpherson, Barker
and Ben Fridley were not so fortunate,
returning with about forty birds
Billy Black, Jas, 0 venhouse, Cheeyer
and Pike, returned with twenty.
Haines and Jockey drove ON Saturday
night 10 miles, before they discovered
that they had forgotten their grub box
and, some alleged, their guns. They
hastily returned. and, hiring livery
team, reached the hunting grounds by
daylight. They came home with 20
chickens and Is young ducks.
Seeing that the town was well-nigh
depopulated, Will hewitt struck out IN
the afternoon, accompanied by his bull.
dog. The dog ran into covey of chick
ems, flushed them, and when last seen,
was disappearing beyond a high noun
tain.
Will Frensham has received his point
er from the east.
I. B. Sackett, John Besserer, Charles
Cobb, c. w. Hoffman and James Pons-
ford left on Saturday and returned Mon
day with SO birds. They went prepared

1T WAS A HOAX.


Jas. Bach, who arrived in Bozeman on
Friday, informs ns that three days pre-
vious he had talked with Miss Jane Nc
Arthur, who was supposed to have been
drowned some weeks ago, while engaged
in saving the lives of drowning people
in the Sun river He furthermore stated
that thu lady informed HIM that she
could not swim stroke, and that, while
she disliked TO have her obituary sent
out to the world, she was pleased with
the action of the Butte people in collect
ing 5000 for monument to her honor.
Corroboratiye testimony of the above is
furnished by the Independent and the
Calumet of Choteau, which says:
"The whole thing is a hoax, having
no foundation except in the Imagination
of the author, but it is difficult to conjec-
ture the object Of its invention. There
was no drowning and mo rescue. There
is no Judge Armstrong or any family of
that name on upper Sun river, and Jane
Macarthur is not known in that locality.
Strangely enough, however, there is a
married lady residing on the Teton,
whose maiden name, we are informed,
was Jane Macarthur In every particu-
lar she answers to the description. We
have also learned that the lady came
from Butte; that she recently buried
sister in Bozeman, and that she owns
cattle and horses; but that she is alive
and Sell, and has no recollection OF res
culng anyone from drowning. Now, who
got up this sensation. and what was its
object?"
The original report was published in
Butte on the alleged authority ofa letter
from Judge Armstrong. Thence 1t was
wired to the independent and Pioneer
Press. and of course got into the Associ-
ated Press as one OF the sensations Of
the day. Subsequently tile citizens of
Bette took measures to iraigurate
monument fund to commemorate the
event ne n rare act Of hernineism.

fever. The band of abont $50 were
driven up the West Gallatin above the

kept above with good feed by fencing
across the canon. The cool air of the
altitude produced a good effect, and as
soon as the frosts come steadily the fever
will disappear. OF those afflicted, some

covered. DR.. H. informs us that there
have already arrived this year, or are
