Pasteur's Failure.

PARIS, March 23.-Nineteen Russians
arrived here and were placed under Pas
teur's care on March Is. All had been
attacked by mad wolves and terribly lac
Grated. Pastenr willingly undertook to
treat them, and at once placed them in
his hospital. The man who died last
night had been carefully operated upon
and regularly inoeulated with virus twice
day since his arrival. His terrible
death, with all the symptoms ofhydropho-
bia in It's worst form, has seriously check
ed public confidence in Pasteur's discov-
cry. The first positive indications that
the PATIENTS system was resisting the
treatment manifested themselves on Sum
day, after he had been in the hospital
over five days. He soon afterwards be-
came the victim Of the most terrible suf-
fering, and this seemed to increase hourly
up to the time of death, which occurred
while the man was mad and wild with
physical torture. The corpse has been re-
moved to Pasteur's labratory, where it
will be made the subject Of an experiment
by scientists. Pastenr is much annoyed
by the unfavorable comments caused by
this failure Of his method.

A FIERCE AND BLOODY BATTLE.
Reported Fight Between Cowboys and
Horse Thieves Down the Missouri.

The following from the Bismarck Tri-
bune of the 23d (last Tuesday, is a little
too indefinite as to locality and other par
ticulars to be true, but we give 1t for what
it is worth:
The report of one Of the bloodiest battles
ever fought between whites on the banks
of the upper Missouri river reached this
city yesterday, Mr.. Frank Buckingham, q
trapper, giving the Tribune its informa-
tion. Itappears from Mr.. Buckingham
story that party of cowboys numbering
about ten, have been i'll pursuit Of horse
thieves for some time, and upon Tuesday
last came upon six of the thieves, who had
taken refuge in the timber near the river.
An attack was Immediately made by the
determined cowboys, whose fire was
promptly returned by the outlaws. After
the exchange of fvolleys and the killing of
two of the horse thieves, the four surviv-
ing members of the latter party put spurs
to their horses and attempted to escape.
They were followed closely, but the dense
timber made successful pursuit impossible,
and until they reached clearing about a
mile from the starting point, escaped the
bullets of the cowboys. Upon reaching
the clearing, however, they knew that
their course must be changed, and without
waiting for consultation, turned for the
river, in the hope that they could cross
the stream on the ice before their pursu-
ers emerged from the woods. After going
about forty rods on the river two Of the
horses broke through the ice, and at this
juncture the terrible howl of the cowboys
and the reports of their weapons told
them that escape was impossible. With
our endeavoring to save the lives Of their
two companions, who were carried be-
meath the ice, the two survivors of the out
law band started for the shore, and throw
ing up their hands, surrendered to the
dextrous and revengeful cowboys, who
stra@ped them on ponies, tied their hands,
and took them away for cowboy trial.
The hit took place about 200 miles north,
and was not heard of until related to Mr..
Buckingham, an old trapper and hunter.
who left last evening for visit TO his old
home in Vermont, which he has not seen
for fifteen years.

A N ew indian Agent.

The president has appointed Mark D.
Baldwin of Ohio to be agent at the Black
foot agency, vice Major Allen, resigned.
This change will be regretted by many of
our readers as Major Allen has been in all
respects an excellent agent, under whom
the Peigans have prospered better than
ever before. He has been universally
courteous to settlers and has made many
friends in Northern Montana. We trust
his successor will do equally AS well.
