A band of Piegans made another ralo
ppon the Crow horses on Monday last
and succeeded in getting off with large
number. In addition TO this they MADE
a conture of another kind. They ran
across A squaw and two bucks
who were picking berries in secluded

d. w. Wear, Superintendent OF the
Yellowstone Park, in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Interior, calls
attention 10 the laws Of the Park, and
says they are entirely inadequate for It's
protection. He suggests that a law be
enacted by Congress establishing a Court
within and for the Park, with exclusive
iourisdiction of all misdemeanors and
with power to exempt and hold to bail
persons charged with felony, 10 be tried
by the nearest Court having crimiDal
jurisdiction. Wear reports that the
roads and bridges in the park are IN good
condition, hotel accommodations good
and ample, and transportation facilities
excellent. The Yellowstone Park Asso'
citation have leased hotel sites at Nam
moth Hot Springs, Fire Hole, Upper
Geyser, Basin and Grand Canyon, and
contemplate the erection of good hotels
at these points. A fine large hotel has
already been erected at Norris Geyser,
Basin. The report says there is more
game in the Park now of every kind than
was ever before known. ELK. antelope,
deer and mountain sheep are plentiful.
The condition Of the stock, buildings and
county roads and bridges has been
materially improved during this year.
The disbursements were $4,000.
The story of the alleged heroic conduct
of one Jane Macarthur" who saved
Judge" Armstrong and nearly all of his
relatives from drowning in the Sun river
and was at last drowned herself as she
attempted to land the Judges" big
spinster sister will not soon be forgotten.
1t was very clever hoax, and if the ex-
pose had not followed soon, a monument
would doubtless have been erected to the
Inflated heroine. The River Press has
Just learned some facts Of interest in
connection with this most remarkable
imposition On the public. Jane Macarthur
as she was known in other days, is mar
ried and lives on the Teton, few miles
above Choteau, having moved to that
place with her husband some months
ago. The story of her heroic exploit and
lamented death, as first published in the
Inter-Mountain Of Butte, was written by
herself and forwarded to that paper to
be made public, not with the view of
creating a sensation as was the result,
but for the purpose of leading certain
person who had something of a claim on
or interest in Jane Macarthur" to be-
leive that she was dead and could be no
more to him. This was the purpose for
which the hoax was intended, but the
brilliant imagination Of the authoress
led her 10 over do the business, to spread
it on too thick, and the end sought was
thus defeated. This sequel win explain
how such a ponderous lie could have
been started.
