A FATAL DISEASE.

Capt. Carlin received six carloads of
high-grade Durham cattle from Kansas
on Sunday, the 18th inst, which were
driven to a pasture near town. On
Wednesday it was noticed that fine
bull accompanying the herd was slightly
sick, and although medicine was at once
administered, the animal died, and since
then nineteen, the flower of the flock,
have followed. Some of the animals
were cut open, when it was found that
they were afflicted with Texas fever, one
of the most fatal maladies known to
northern cattle. The territorial veterin-
arian was telegraphed for, and on Sun
lay his deputy, Mr.. Holloway, arrived
and took charge of the herd, the well
cattle being separated from the sick and
the entire band being quarantined. The
cause of this disastrous epidemic, which
is especially disheartening to Mr.. Carlin,
who had just embarked in the cattle
business with a small band of as fine
cattle as were ever brought to this sec
ton; is laid to a large number of cattle
being shipped TO the Tongue river region,
which Immediately preceded Mr.. Carlin's
cattle over the same railroad, being
watered and fed at the same places.
Those in charge claimed that the band
was from the Cherokee nation, but in
all probability they are from Texas.
The veterinarian has the names of the
st. Louis commission merchants who
shipped the cattle, also the names of the
owners, who are about to receive them
at the head of Tongue river; the band
being driven from the terminus of the
North western ra;lnOad in Dakota, to the
range where countless thousands of
Northern cattle now Craze and may be
contaminated by this frighttul disease.
Notwithstanding the fact that this dis
ease has been known in the south for
nearly one hundred years, no known
remedy can be relied upon. Red clay,
salt, sulphur, saltpetre and copperas
mixed, have acted as preventative in
some instances. The disease is common
in the south from the Atlantic To Mex
leo. 1t is most fatal where it has been
transmitted by southern to northern
cattle. but only in a few well authenti-
Gated cases has 1t been transmitted 10
northern by northern cattle, and there
is tnen no cause for alarm in this section
by fear of contagion.
One popularity about the disease is
the fact that it rarely shows itself until
July 10Th, however much earlier cattle
NAV have been exposed. In July, Au-
cut and September, the hottest months
Of the year, is When it kills. It is popu-
larry supposed that Texas cattle willsnot

KENNEL NOTES.

T. b. Sackett received on Saturday last
the very handsome and stylish setter
bitch, "June," bred By the Dunkirk, O.,
kennels, from Pride of the Border"
stock. She has the appearance Of being
a rafting field dog and 10 doubt will
furnish Mr. Sackett, who is one of our
crack shots, with an abundance of sport.
Chas. H. Cobb received six months
old puppy, black, white and tan, out of
June" by crack dog in Ohio, of the
famous Llewellyn strain.
Jno. w. Besserer also received the
beautiful, black, white and tan setter,
Lady Cress," a daughter of Champion
Gladstone and a sister to Champion Paul
Gladstone, who have won more prizes in
the field and on the bench than any
two dogs in the known world. We re-
greet to announce that, owing to the vile
negligence of the express companies,
Lady Cress is in a precanous condition,
and is not expected to live.
With a view to place Bozeman in the
lead for fine bred dogs, Messrs. Besserer
and Cobb will soon ship some very
choice strains of Scotch stag hounds.

END OF THE TIMBER TROUBLES.


The case of Territory VS.. Michael ].
Haley, the United States timber agent.
was called for trial on Monday. Haley
was arrested under the territorial statute
against the unlawful interfering with the
cav mill business of Enoch Hodson, and
for maiciously forcing Hodson, by threats
and intimidation to close his mill and
cease the manufacture of lumber. Hon.
Robt. Smith, the United States district
attorney for this territory, appeared in
Bozeman and assured Mr.. Hodson and
the other lumbermen of this place that
the attempted seizures of lumber by Mr.
Haley were of no effect and illegal, and
that no further steps would be taken to
enforce the seizures or prevent the lum-
bermen from conducting their business.
He further stated that he understood
that new regulations for the government
of those cutting timber on the public
domain were being formulated by the
Department of the Interior and would
shortly be promulgated, and that, until
he receives positive instructions from
Washington to proceed, he should do
nothing further in the matter In view
of these and other facts, the prosecution
decided te dismiss the case, which was
done. The result is that the saw mill
Ten of this territory have gained all
that they were fighting for, and are well
pleased with the successful termination
of their efforts in this matter, and above
all, those who have a great deal to say
regarding the oppression of democratic
rule, have now got an opportunity to
crawl into their holes and pull the hole
in after them.
