A STRANGE CATTLE DISEASE
That has Played Sad Havoc with Geo. MI,
Robbins Little Herd.


The cattle of Geo. NJ. Robbins, who
lives on the Missouri river about five miles
above town, are afflicted with some sort of
disease which proves fatal to every one
affected. Since Tuesday last eleven
out of his little band Of twenty-four head
have died DR.. Fairfield, John Green and
Stock Inspector Sweeney went to Mr..
Robbins ranch Friday and made a
thorough examination of several head,
and they were unable to determine what
the disease was. Mr.. Robbins says the
first one died on Tuesday, two on Wednes-
day, five on Thursday, three yesterday
aud one this morning. He says they seem
well and are suddenly taken, and drop as
if dead, breathing naturally, and in about
half an hour get up and 60 to eating. The
second attack is the one which proves fa-
tall One old cow only has died, the rest
being yearlings and under. This loss is a
very serious one to Mr.. Robbins, as tWen-
ty-four head is All that he owns and the
loss of nearly half of his herd is severe
one to him.
The disease is entirely new to those who
have examined the cattle and SO far as
known it has not appeared elsewhere in
this section.

The Raiding Reds Must Go.

From a gentleman who has Travelled eX-
tensiyely over the country we have learn
ed that there are q large number OF Cree
Indians on this side of the line camped ia
the vicinity of the Little Rocky and Bear
Paw mountains. AS they have no means
of subsistence it is only reasonable to pre-
sumo that the herds of cattle roaming on
the south side Of the Missouri river fur
nish them food. He says that while tray
cling in the lower country some time since
he came across four places where Indians
had camped and the carcasses OF five steers
were found. There was every indication
that they had remained in each OF the
camps long enough to dry all of the meat.
He is of the opinion that the Indians are
not afraid Of the troops, and that they
have no reason to be, and suggests that II
ten or fifteen men could be got together
NE Indians would be induced to make
themselves scarce in this country. IN
less something is done by the troops before
winter sets in the owners OF stock Will De

affairs, but SO far nothing has been done.

pose Of getting troops in the field. Onless

ALASKA

John. j. Healy's Prospects.

Special to the River Press.
HELENA, September 23.-John 10y, for
merly Of Fort Benton, has just returned
from Alaska, and brings dreary report
of that country. He says the only thing
that is worth anything in Alaska is the
one big mining mill, OF which you know.
He also says that Healy's difficulties with
the Indians have been settled by him.
Healy is in hopes of creating mining
excitement in the country around him, in
which case he can make fortune; but if
the excitement does not work he has got
nothing. Ed. Flint is employed at the
big mill. 10y says there are very few
white people in Alaska, and he don't see
how these few can live.

THE RAIDING REDS.
Exploits ofBritish Indians Among the Set
tiers of the Upper Marias.

sri fs-sE .~
Kyle Price arrived from the Marias last
Friday. He reports that the Blood In
dians are all over the Marias country.
They have made two raids upon the set
tiers at Pen d d'Oreille Springs, taking eley-
en- head of horses belonging to Thos. Be-
vans (Froggy), Magee and Mormon Criss.
The last raid was five nights ago. A short
time since they attempted to steal the
horses of Dare 6 Kennedyin broad day
light, but being discovered only got away
with one animal. About the time of the
first storm, a couple of week ago, a de-
tachment of.eavalry was camped OH the
Marias but it did not deter the Indians
from doing as they wished. Mr.. Price
saws the settlers on the Marias think this
sort of thingis getting monotonous.
A large rumber Of cattle have been
killed in that vicinity, III fact there is
nothing the Indians do not do except take
the life of settlers: so far this has not been
done.
We still maintain that detachments oi
troops shoulkbe placed at Cut Bank, or
that vicinity the route usually travelled by
the Indians coming from the north, viz
Cut Bank to the Piegan camps, where
they undoubtedly get food; after that the
country supports them.

missioner Atkins and Assistant Commis

consolidation Of the Chippewa tribes in
Minnesota and Montana and their removal

An Important Ruling on the Desert Land Act

Commissioner Sparks in late decision
held that the bringing OF water on land
was not a sufficient compliance with the
law and that agricultural crops must be
grown before final proof could be made
under the desert land act. This decision
has been reversed by Secretary Lamars
who writes as follows to the Commission
er: By the terms of the desert land act
the land is to be reclaimed by conducting
water upon it. The first question TO be de-
termined is significance of the word re-
claim as it is used in the act. In the in
terpretatiOn of statutes, the rule is that,
words are generally used in their usual
and most known signification. Hence,
applying the general meaning to the word
reclaim as given by W ebster, and the mean
inc Of the statute is: That the desert
lands shall be reduced to an agricultural
state by conducting water upon the same.
1t does not follow, however, that an agri-
cultural crop must be raised in order to
show that such condition has been arrived
at. In other words it is not necessary to
show the results Of reclamation in order to
prove the fact Of reclamation. Entertain
ing the views do upon this question, L
hereby reverse your decision.

Democrats at Great Falls.

Since the democratic conventions named
the candidates to be voted for this fall the
greatest enthusiasm has existed in Great
Falls in their favor, the result of which is
the organization of young mems demo-
cratic club that bids fair to be the most i'll
duential and strongest organization in
northern Montana. On Thursday evening
last number of young democrats met at
Mr.. Huy's rooms and organized the club
by the election of the following officers !:
Charles Wegner, president; G. P. Thorn
son, vice president; W. 2. Wren treasur-

ing gentlemen were elected on the execu-
tive committee: Messrs. Matkin, Clark,
Wetzel, Kennedy, Murphy, Largent, Will
dekoff, B. Huy, spurgin, RingWald and
Phil Gibson. An outside committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Blankenbaker, Wilson
and Allin was also elected. It was an
nonnced by the president that Mr.. Gibson
had given for the use of the club the two
story brick house lately used by Mr.. Spitz-
ley for hotel. After some sensible talk
the meeting adjourned to meet on Satur-
day evening, when the report Of the COM
mIttee would be read and the constitution
be signed.
On Saturday evening the NEST sanguine
democrats were surprised at the number
of young active men who met together to
enroll themselves as workers in the good
