Independent: Dick Barnes, one of the
best known horse owners in the northwest
suicl6ed at Walla Walla last Tuesday,
He had played IN every thing he poss-
essed at faro and it in fit of desper-
alton blew his brains out with Winches-
ter rifle. Last season he went the rounds
of the northwestern circuit with D. X. w.
and Contractor. He was ono of the best
known characters on the Montana turf
and was general favorite having always
a good word for every one. Though
never wealthy, he did well with his
horses always, but almost invariably lost
in bucking the tiger what he won OIL the
turf. His horses were always in good
condition and ready to start. He was
over 60 years of age and was unmarried.
Mr.. A. McGreggor, who has by drill
process ascertaincd the depth to bed rock
in the gravel range at the head of Mon
tana gulch, has determined to put tun-
mel through the mountain for drainage
and to better test the quality of the vast
old river he'd. His iron for the entire
track and other necessary machinery to
successfully prosecute the work were re-
ceived by rail here Saturday, and on Mon
day were forwarded by wagon train. Mr..
McGreggor deserves success, as he is dis
playing his usual energy and expending
large sums of money in development,
which will help many others without risk.
The range is at the head of one of the
richest little gulches ever worked in Mon
tana, and the faith seems we'll founded
t hat it should pay.-Tranchant.
Last week two men found skeleton in
the cabin OF James Robinson, an old
time prospector and miner IN Lincon
gulch, Deer Lodge county. From three
missing fingers they identified the bones
as the remains of James Robinson hlm-
self, who had been missing for three
weeks. Some opium being found on the
table near the remains, it was concluded
ted to the drug, he has; taken an overdose
and died alone in his bachelor abode.
And the tracks of the mountain lions,
which are numerous IN and around the
cabin, showed that the wild beasts of the
hills had discovered the unprotected
corpse and feasted themselves on human
flesh leaving nothing but the bare bones
in the cabin. Robinson was about 40
years old and was we'll known in the
territory.
Lewistown Argus: A prominent sheep
grower of Neagher county, writing to
a Helena merchant. says; "The per6dy
of the Husbandman in deserting our
wool interests and selling out to Clark
will be remembered a long time by its be-
trayed patrons. No act equals it for
trcachery during the late campaign.
Thank heaven, the electors of the county
administered crushing rcbuke at the
polls" 1t will be remembered tina; the
Husban>lman editor made more noise
than band of ewes bereft of their lambs
Immediately after the passage of the Mills
bill Two column editorials were quite
frequent in denouncing free wool. Some
time before election the proprletors got a
quietlng powder of some kind and the
moss grown concern was as silent as the
abode of the dead until its issue after the
contest, when it again championed the
cause of the woolgower.
