Cheering Prospects.

Sheriff Chuchill, who has been absent
on official and other business in the Sun
River country for the past fortnight, re-
turned home yesterday. He reports
Northern Lewis and Clark and contigu-
II regions in q hsalthful state of prog
gress, and the people sanguine OF a pros
porous future. Universal interest CEN
ters in the Montan Central railroad, and
its promised speedy construction, con-
Meeting the northern portion of the Ter
ritory with thu Northern Pacific trans
continental system, gives the utmost sat
isfaction to everybody, in whatever indus
try or business engaged. In the upper
and lower canyons of the Prickly Pear,
the sheriff tells US, work is being actively
prosecuted-tree telling, bush cutting,
rock excavating and other work being
pushed forward with great vigor. Surely
the outlook for Central and Northern
Montana in railroad projects and in min
ing and manufacturing enterprises grow,
ing out of them, Is cheering and encour-
aging to US all.-Herald. H.

A herd of horses numbering some 70
so head, aud called the "wild herd, range
in this section. While not being wild
horses intreality, they are such to all in
tents and purposes. They are . terror to
parties who turn horses on the range,
with tbs expectation of bringing them in
after a brief period, for should they once
join, Or be picked up by the wild band"
it is almost next to impossible to recover
them, and it is said that there is only two
men-Jim Walker and Charley Brewster
can handle the band successfully,
for they are so shy and fleet limbed that
no horse carrying . rider can hope to
overhaul them in 4 dead race. They are
also we'll acquainted with the country
and under the the leadership of a moving
spirit, dodge out of sight like phantoms
in some deep coulee. The manner the
above named parties work" the herd, is
to sight them at a distance, and then seek
concealment in a coulee which they will
likely pass, and then when at short range
dash in amongst them at full speed. This
has the effect of b%ewildering and STAIN
peding them, and her the animal wanted
can be singled out and either roped or
run down. It is claimed this herd have
all the characteristics of wild horses, and
that in q few years at least they will be-
come such in reality. An animal running
with them for only a short time, become
alert and wild eyed, it is said. The band
is increasing in numbers rapidly.

head of cattle now ranging in the
Panhandle country. The cattle are
to be delivered at Coolidge, Kan, and
from thence will be driven on up to

This is probably not half of the mum

The Macleod IN. w. TT Gazette, says
everything seems to indicate that there
will he a large influx of cattle to this dis
trict the coming season, and American
cowmen are beginning to realize the fact
that this is the best range country on the
continent" The Gazette's predictions
will likely prove correct. The rapid settle
ment of Northern Montana inthe immedi-
ate future will force the range herds to the
wall. Even at the present time the range
country in this portion of the Territory is
limited and heavily stocked, and large
cattle owners realize thatthey must inthe
near future seek pastures new. As the
Canadian Northwest offers the most in
viting field for the industry, they will
naturally take advantage Of it, and if we
are not sadly mistaken, at least two Or
three of the larger herds of this section
will be driven nortliward the coming sum
mer.

The Choteau Calumet quotes US as say

Sand Coulee coal is to the Whoop Up fu-
Ell what white ash is to the red ash an

riority except ON one or two points, which
is still maintained. But from whence
comes all this knowledge Of the superior
quality claimed for the Whoop Up coal
by the Calumet and Press? Is their
knowledge based upon practical tests, or
mere assumptions Most likely the latter;
or possible the test Of the heating stove,
at q time when the Sand Cou1ee coal was
vet wholly undeYeloped, and the only
American coal used in Benton was from
a poorly developed mine or Belt creek,
and marketed in the same condition that
it came from the mine, dirty and I'm
screamed. At the same time coal was
freighted from this "bang up" Lethbridge
field to Benton at q cost Of $50 per ton,
and only the most carefully selected por-
tons of the vein would stand the high
freight tariff. Then again, the Northern
mines have been worked for a number OF
years and are thoroughly developed; moi
so with either the Sand Coulee or Bell
creek mines, which are even at the pres
ent practically undeveloped, but which
with development will prove their worth
as equal in all and superior in some re
spects to the Whoop Up product. Tit
TRIBUNE stands pat on Sand Coulee coal

Our Future.

Great Falls unquestionably has a very
bright future. The early completion of
the montana Central railroad, together
with the establishment Of extensive man
ufacturing enterprises will combine to
make it one of the most important cities
in the Northwest. The many natural adj
v~antages it possesses is alike the wonder
and admiration of every practical man.
When once these advantages are utilized,
Great Falls will become a perfect bee
hive of industry and enterprise.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
William Moore, Murders His Wife and
Then Blows Out His Own Brains
a Eioady Deed.

-5E 2&
One of the most horrible crimes ever
committed in Montana, vas enacted at the
home of William Moore, on the Helena
road, between the Dearborn and Rock
creek, Wednesday morning OF last week.
It was the grand finale of a wife's iafdel-
ity to her marriage VOWS, and the patient
suferings OF a wronged husband.
No witnesses were present when the
bloody deed was enacted, so as to what
was the direct cause of the tragedy will
every be enshrouded in mystery. 1t is
supposed, however, that their late domes-
tic troubles were being discussed which
ended in a struggle-this being evident
from the disordered appearance of the
furniture. 1t is supposed during the
quarrel that Mrs. Moore drew a revolver
which being taken away from her and
thrown out doors, she got possession of q
Winchester repeating rifle which she dis
charged at her husband, the bullet taking
effect in his breat; or it may reasonably
have been the result Of an accident, when
they were struggling for possession of the
weapon Be that as it may, when once
he got the gun in his hands, he fired III
shot at his wife which entered her breast,
producing q fatal wound. Possibly resliz
ing what he had done, and suffering in
tense agony from his own wound, he de-
liberate1y placed the muzzle OF the wea-
pom under his chin and blew his brains
out.
Coroner Brown who held the inquest,
says "in all his experience he never be-
held a more blood curdling sight than that
presented in the death chamber of the i'll
starred home. Mrs. Aoore's body was
lying in the open doorway of the sitting
room, her head leaning against the base
board, while that of her husband lay prone
upon its breast in the next room not six
feet away, and the blood Of both, which
had flown eopiously, ran along the floor
in CORY ~rivulets and mingled together a
few feet off, forming a %sanguinary pool
near the center Of the apartment. A Win.
chester rifle, the weapon that dealt the
death blow to both, was lying beneath
Mooreas body, showed conclusively that
he fired the last shot" w.
William Moore was an old-timer in
the Territory; we'll known and universal
ly respected. He moved On the ranch
where::he met his violent death>inl187o and
for a number of years kept a toll road
from which he derived a handsome in

THE MONTANA CENTRAL r. r.
The Construction of the Road to be
Pushed Ahead as Rapidly as
Possible.

The Montana Central railroad enter
prise is being pushed forward with a vim
and vigor quite refreshing. The "10o-mil-
lion dollar" bluff telegraphed from New
York with the evident intention Of crush
ing the enterprise out of existence, failed to
produce the expected CONSERVATION, but
in fact has been the means of calling into
question the moral principal of one or
two of our leading public men, who are
supposed to have been directly interested
in tho scheme. That the road will be
built to Great Falls as fast as men and
money can do it is settled. The parties
interested in it are not only men of wealth
and brains, but are pushing and energetic,
and no enterprise in which they arc in
terested will be allowed to drag. Already
considerable work has been done along
the line, particularly in the Priekly Pear
canyons, in the way OF brush cutting aud
the erection of quarters in which to care
for the large force of men which will be
put to work IS o as the engineers have
definitely located the line. There is said
to be from forty to fifty miles of heavy
rock work, besides several tunnels, on the
line, which will consume considerable
time in cutting through. The report that
it was not the intention of the company
to complete the road to Great Falls the
present year is pure fiction; for the road
will be constructed as rapidly as possible,
and if it eau be completed the present
year it can be depended upon that it will
be. AS to tho particular time the road
will be completed to this point is a matter
Of very little Importance to the majority
of the people in Northern Montana; all
they want to know is whether the road
will really be built or not. This moment
Gus question need trouble no n hsreaf-
ter, for the work already begun will be
pushed forward without intermission I'M
til the whistle of the locomotive is heard
echoing and reechoing in the canyons
and valleys bordering the Prickly Pear
and Missouri rivers.
