4 New War story.

Gen Alexander told another story: At the
battle Of Manassas he was fighting near a
farm house, which he discovered to be the
house Of Mr.. Lewis McCabe, a relative Of his
wife. Before the battle was over the house
wGs literally rildled and the farm ruined.
Gen. Alexander never saw M. NcCabe again
until at Appouattox. While fighting there
has artillery was near a farm house. which
ne found ont to be the home Of Mr.. McCabe.
He Tset that gentleman a few moments later.
and he said: MY home at Manassas was
ruined by battle, and left it and came 200
miles away. / thought L was clear out of
reach, but now this home is ruined IL is
curious that the first and last battles of the
war should be fought on Mr.. McCabe's farm.

4 Noyr Balloon Invented.

There is much mysterious talk of balloon
invention of II de Nillars, in which the
problem of aerial navigation is said to DO

N. de Nlllars' aim has been to direct his bal

currents which are 70 Re net with a. various
heights. To do this it Is necessary 10 ascend
ard descend frequently in the course Of the
voyage. But with balloons OF ordinary con-
scrucc.on this Is impossible by reason Of the
loss Of vss and ballast which such maneuvers
occasion. Il. de EllI8rs has no ballast t.

ceedings. Maxwell received the news of
an hours postponement, to 9 o'clock,
calmly, though an expression of great re-

Flowerree's Stolen Horses.

Mr.. r. A. Matthews, stock Inspector
for northern Montana, passed through
the city last evening en- route to points on
Milk river. During the past month or So
the gentleman has been in western and
northwestern Dakota looking for the
Flowerree band Of horses, advertised as
stolen some time ago. No trace Of them
could be discovered There is a good
deal Of mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance Of these horses. There is q re-
ward of $1,000 offered for their recovery.
and great efforts have been made to find
the animals and earn the prize, but thus
far not an animal of the large number has
been heard of. Had they been lifted bod
lily from the earth and transported in mid
air to the north pole their tracks could
not have been more effectually concealed
from the searchers. Doubts are begin
ming to be expressed as to their being
stolen, some thinking the horses are still
somewhere in northern Montana, having
drifted with a winter storm.

Wolf Hunting on the Upper Marias.

Dan Torey, who is COW boy by profes-
sion, has sworked in different ranges from
the Texas line north to the Saskatchewan
river, in Canada. A year ago last winter,
while going from this city to Maple Creek,
Canada he was caught in a severe storm
and had the half of each foot frozen off.
During the greater portion of the time
since his recovery from it's effects he has
been in the employ of the Benton & ST..
Louis Cattle company, whose ranch is To-
Gated on the upper Marias. Not being
quite as active as he was before the freez-
ing of his feet, he is retained by the fore
man on the ranch to look after things
generally and to train the grey and stag
hounds of the company in the art Of kill
ing wolves Dan was in town yesterday,
and during the course Of conversation, in
formed reporter that he was out nearly
every day with the dogs; that both the
large gray wolves and coyotes were more
plentiful than he had ever known them
to be, and that he caught and killed with
his dogs mixed lot of fourteen in four
days last week. The company, he inform
ed us, has about twelve dogs on the ranch,
the fastest ones being greyhounds that
get there first. These have many scars on
their bodies, the result Of desperate fights
with wolves. Dan thinks a good fast
greyhound that will fight when the wolf
is oyertaken is the proper kind of poison
with which to exterminate the varmints.
There are also among the pack several
number one fighters, but they run SO far
behind the greyhounds that they never
know anything about the killing until
some one reads it to them from the RIVER
Press, which generally hears of it first.
