Gazette: We learn as we go to press
that John Matt, formerly of Junction,
was shot and killed by cowpuncher
named Shepherd from Flat Willow, at
Musselshell on the night of the 23rd. He
was buried ON Tuesday. The trouble
arose from game of seven-up for SO,
Matt lost and would not pay. He got a
rifle to uphold him in his refusal. Shep-
herd thereupon drawing a revolver put
two bullets into Matt's head.
At the session of the United States
court at Butte next week the persons con-
nected with the celebrated Philipsburg
lynchlng affair, in July last, will be tried.
These men, eight Or nine in number,
prominent citizens of Philipsburg, were
indicted by the last United States grand
jury at Deer Lodge under the old ''ku-
klux' law, passed by congress. The pom
atty is extremely severe under this law,
and tne case excltes considerable interest.
Yellowstone Journal: Oliver H. Wal.
lop on arriving in town yesterday, from
his station at the Grow agency. was hand
ed a telegram containing the information
that in a wreck on a Pennsylvania road
two valuable imported stations belonging
to him had been killedi also some hounds
that were shipped with them. The horses
were of splendid stock and worth lot of
money, and it is matter of considerable
loss to Mr.. Wallop outside the pecuu:ary
valuation as he will lose tho use of the
stallions. 4he dogs were intended for
use in killing wolves on the range.
Reports have been received at Deer
Lodge that Emile Coblantz is held in San
Francisco awaiting the action of the
grand jury on four cases of forgery. Cob.
lantz is the man who three years ago i'm
posed upon the people Of Butte by float
ing and obtaining sums Of money on spuri-
Gus checks, for which he was sentenced
to two and one-half years. Imprisonment
in the Deer Lodge penitentiary. Cob,
lantz served his sentence, being released
from there last November, and it now
looks as though his chance for long
period in San Quentin is very favorable
Glcndive Independent: Hubbard &
Simpsons 900 head of Minnesota cattle
arrived Tuesday, and were branded at the
stock yards Wednesday and Thursday,
and several hundred head were crossed

of the past few days, which storm was al
most as severe as the one we had here
four years ago this spring, which killed
SO many cattle for Pearson, Estabrook &
Clarke. The small loss can be attributed
to the sheds which were erected here last
summer.
Husban6man: The news has just
reached here that Frank Wylscy, who left
here Sunday week since for Ncihart go
ing via Great Falls, had serious advcn-
turc while attempting to ford Smith river,
which resulted in the drowning of Wyl-
sey's fine four-horse team and that he and
the other men had narrow escape. It is
presumed that they undertook to make
the cut off near the mouth of Hound creek
instead of going around by the bridge
Smith river at this point IS treacherous
stream and when swollen, roars over the
huge boulders in a maddening torren
and the party may congratulate them
selves that they escaped with their lives
