The Great Falls (Montana) TRIBUNE
deserves praise for its success in making
up very readable weekly paper largely
from original matter. Its essays, stories
and local sketches displayed a good deal
of talent. Country papers are so often
filled up in the main with clippings and
puffs of advertisers that it is a pleasure to
take up one that shows earnest editorial
work and an effort at originality.

MiIIionaires Quarrel Over a Broncho


Stock detective Herd, Of Helena, came
down to Augusta a few days ago,
and arrested Frederick Troutman,
q prominent stockman, at the
instance Of Lowry s. FIoweree The
latter charged Mr.. Troutman with
having branded one Of their mares with
intent to steal the same
Mr. Troutman says that he branded the
mare when a colt with his brand, and
that nearly three years ago when he got
his brand recorded, he found that an out
tit with the same brand were branding on
the same portion of the body, and there
fore he changed the place Of applying
the brand. This caused the rebranding
OF the mare this year. He says Lowry d
Floweree must have mistaken his brand
for theirs in this instance. He also says
the mare has always run with his stock,
and he is able to prove that, and his own
innocence.
Not having time to attend to the case
himself just now, and not caring to call
his witnesses, who are his neighbors,

This was bad, but worse remained behind.

The Minnesota Circuit.

The Minnesota trotting circuit, which
was so auspiciously begun at Mankato last
week, will be renewed this week, commenc-
ing tomorrow. at Saltwater, where the
racing will be continued through Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday. There can be
no reason to doubt that the circuit will. in
q pecuniary point of view, prove to be a
very satisfactory one. 1t began well at
Mankato with goodly number of entries
and interesting races. At Saltwater there
are some seventy entries, which ought to
make the racing very active indeed. The
track is reported to be i'll very excellent con-
dition and the arrangements complete
for successful meeting. About fifty
of the horses that were at Mankato have
already arrived at the ground. 1t is in
tended to offer on the third day special
purse for the fastest animals at both
trotting and pacing. The horses named in
this connection are Johnston. Mike Wilkes,
Phyllis, Silver Tail, Belle F and Dan D.
1t is understood that the owners OF all
these animals have indicated their willing
ness to enter into the contests except in the
case of Johnston. 1t is doubtful If he will
be allowed to participate. Minneapolis
and st. Paul close the circuit on July /, 2,
8 and 5, when the people of the Northwest
will have the opportunity of witnessing
some of the best racing that can be seen
anywhere.
