After the RIOOdS.

A Benton, Mont, telegram Of the 10Th
says: Indians made raid on settlers in
the vicinity of Utica last night and stole
thirty head of horses, in some instances
taking every head owned by the poor
ranchmen. A party headed by Jake Hoov-
or, an old-time hunter and guide, have gone
in pursuit. The stealing is thought to have
been done by Northern Indians, perhaps
Bloods, who have been stealing across the
line in small bands for some time with g.
view, it is thought, to take revenge on the
Piegans for killing six of their bucks be-
yond the border. The apprehension of in
territorial complications from raids across
the border is revived by this raid. A com
pany of federal troops out scouting after
them.

NATURAL GAS.

In consequence of the utilization
of natural gas for business and
domestic purposes in the East, and
its discovery in Oregon. in the San
Joaquin Valley, and in Southern
California, the Marysville Ippeot
urges the development of the supply
which is believed to underlic Iuba,
Colusa and Suffer counties. Twenty
years ago gas was struck in pros
pect hole near Sulphur Creek IN the
Coast Range, west of Marysville.
1t was set on fire mt the time, and
has been burning ever since. A
number of years ago a well bored
by some levee hands just below
Yuba City produced steady flow
of gas which burned freely. AT the
time of these finds little or nothing
was known Of the uses and possible
lities of natural gas, and no atten-
ton was paid to them. Gas has
frequently been found in the wells
of Marysville and Yuba City. 1t is
continually rising from the well of
the Marysville Water Works. BY
turning the gas-stop over the pump
and lighting the escaping gas a
flame two feet long can be obtained
at any time. There is strip of
land through the southern portion
of Iuba City so impregnated with
gas that the well water is rendered
unfit for domestic uses. All these
indications are found comparatively
near the surface. The well of the
water works is only eighty feet
deep. The appeal argues that
deep sinking would probably
develop a flow of natural gas, sufli-
cient for domestic and manufacture
ing purposes; that the surface indi-
cations are as good as those OBJ
tanned in the Eastern States, where
natural gas has supplanted the
manufactured article and coal for
lighting and heating, and suggests
systematic effort to find and
utilize the fluid in quantities suf1i-
cient for public and private pur-
poses. Marysville has had hard
times since the hydraulic mines
have been threatening her with des-
truction. She has been sorely taxed
to keep up her defenses against
floods and slickens. The develop
ment of new natural source OF
wealth would raise her to position
where she could continue the fight
for existence and progress witt
more equal chances.-[San Fran.

A COW ADOPTS FOUR PIGS.

About two weeks since q neighbor
of the writer purchased from farm
er near the city young COW, which
last spriog had her first calf, and
which he soon found to be a very
valuable mixer, giving about four
quarts per day of choice milk. After
he had the COW about week she be-
gan to fail giving the usual quantity
of milk, and finally in the course of
few days gave none at all of any
consequence. OF course such
sudden and total failure of milk
naturally could be laid to nothing
but that the COW was a self-milker,
and the gentleman had a frame made
for the cows neck such as is usu-
ally used upon COWS to prevent them
practicing that habit. But this
availed nothing, for the next morn
ing, when our friend sailed forth
early to get bounteous supply of
milk, as he thought he would, he
scarcely got half pint of strippings.
He examined the yoke upon her
neck closely, and he was convinced
that it was impossible for her to
suck herself with such yoke upon
her, and as he left home that morn
ing for his place of business he left
orders for the folks to watch the COW
that day, and detect, if possible, the
cause of the disappearance of the
milk, which was done, and when the
gentleman returned home for his
dinner, his wife told him the thieves
had been discovered, and that they
were four sucking pigs which were
in the same pen with the cow. And
the man went out himself to the cow
lot to inspect the motluS Operandi,
and there the young cow lay flat on
her side, with pig hold of each
teat. He then separated the pigs
from the COW, and took off her yoke,
but the cow for several days refused
to give all her milk down, and
bawled after the pigs the same as
she would after her calf. He has al
last, after week, succeeded in
weaving the sympathetic, self.
adopted mother from her suckers
and she is again giving her usua
quantity of milk Globe Demo

FIGHTING A SEA ELEPHANT.

Up round Behring's Straits the
natives live mostly on whales blub-
Der. Up there they hunt the walrus
for his ivory and oil and also for his
hide, which they make into boots.
I've seen sometimes as many as 500
of those animals on a cake of ice,
all believing like thunder, so that
you could hear them for miles,
Then there's the sea elephant, and
they are tough fellows, too. It's
easy enough killing 'em, but when
they are dying they kick up great
fuss. With their little short teeth,

and gave two dozen barrels of oil.
We made blanket sheets of its blub-
Der, cutting it into pieces three feet
square. Then piercing hole in the
center of each block and running
through a spun-rope we made a raft
of them and towed it to the ship.
The usual way to kill sea elephant
used to be to run right up to him,
hit him under the jaw with an oar,
which would make him raise up his
head, when we would fire right up
through his mouth.
