Great Rush to the Blackfeet Res
ervatlOn.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 29.-
News of the opening of the Blackfeet
reservation is awaited impatiently
here and throughout Northern Mon
tana. A large number of persons have
gone to the reservation to locate
ranches, mines and townsites. De-
sirable valleys are fairly covered with
tents, the greatest rush apparently be-
ing to the Big Sandy, the famous hay
grounds. Soldiers as we'll as civilians
are on the ground, and when news
comes that the bill is signed, there is
likely to be rush. Bullock Valley,
beyond Fort Assinaboine, is all staked
off, and the tents of the squatters may
be seen all along the valley Of the
Milk river. There is silver and lead
lode in the beds of the Paw Noun
tains, that was located several years
ago. 1t is understood that several
parties are on hand watching to locate
this mine, as we'll as to prospect for
others.

a band of fourteen highwaymen, three
miles beyond Irolo. The passengers

associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

CHICAGO, April 29.-To Mr.. Clinton
A. Snowden, editor of the Chicago
Times, must be given the unquestion-
ed credit for conceiving a modus opr-
andi for obtaining news which at first
sight appears almost startling. 1t
had been supposed that when the
telegraph and the locomotive had
been brought into use the acme of
rapid and faithful gathering of news
events had been reached, and
this still holds good where
these facilities are easy of access.
But when news centers are hundreds
OF miles distant from telegraph or
railway stations, the question of
transmitting events rapidly and
reliably becomes matter of some
concern. Relays of horses have been
brought into use, and even balloons
have been pressed into service. Both,
however, have elements of uncer-
certainty, and, in the latter case. great
danger. 1t is now proposed to utilize
the
WINGED SPEED
And the almost human intelligence of
the carrier pigeon, as news messen-
gers, and not less novel and interest
ing is the occasion for which these
birds are to be used. An expedition
has been organized, the object of
which will be to save to the world
what members remain of the once
numerous bison family of the great
plains. 1t is determined that of
the millions which once roamed
the prairies Of the far west,
only seventy-five or hundred re-
main, and these are located in the
extreme southwestern portion OF
Texas, hundreds of miles from the
nearest habitation of man. This ex-
pedition, which is to start in few
days, will be under the leadership of
G. j. Jones, or "Buffalo" Jones as he
is called from his earlier habits in con-
nection with the big
MONARCH OF THE PLAINS.
The remainder of this band will be
composed of six experienced plains
men and cowboys. Several shepherd
dogs and bloodhounds will accompany
the party whose business it will be to
keep vigilant watch on the buffalo
after they have been rounded up"
The leading purpose of the expedition
is to perpetuate species of animals
which is thoroughly typical of Amer
ican animal life. one of the controlling
ideas of the trip being to kill none of the
animals while corralling them or after
their capture A representative of
the Times will accompany the expedi-
ton and his duties will be to reduce
the latest occurrences to writing on
the thinnest manifold paper, attach it
to
THE FEATIERY MESSENGER,
And bid it an affectionate goodbye
and safe and speedy journey. The
pigeons will have been homed at a
telegraph station near the seat of
war, and owing to their instincts
they will at once make a correct
flight for this point, no matter where
they are freed. Arriving at the sta
ton, the birds will be relieved of
their burden by the telegraph opera
tor, and the news thus brought will
be wired to the Chicago Times and
through the medium of the Associated
Press to all quarters of the globe, tell
ing the sad story Of the last of the
wild buffaloes, and describing the last
hunt that will ever be made.

Weathcr crop Report.

WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
weather crop bulletin for the past
week says: Owing to the general de-
ficiency of rain, the weather OF the
week has affected the growing crops
unfavorably. Rain is especially need
ed in the winter wheat sections, and
in the northern portions Of the Gulf
States. Frosts occurred in Kentucky,
Eastern Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina and the Middle At
lantic States during the week, which
probably injured vegetables and fruit.
Reports from Kansas and Minnesota
and Western Missouri indicate that
the weather. has been favorable in
those sections and that farm work ID
we'll advanced. The weather is re.
ported as favorable for farm work in
New England, where plowing and
planting are in progress.

Hoy and Horse Drowned.

VANCOUVER. w. T., April 29.-Last

drove his horse attached to a delivery
wagon into the Columbia river at this
place, for the purpose of watering him.
As the river has risen lately there was
barely room to turn around without
getting into deep water. 1t is thought
the boy got too far out and was swept
into deep water by the current. The
boy and horse were both drowned.
The body of the boy was recovered
this morning about sixty feet away
from the point where he entered the
river,

MYSTERIOUS KILLING.
Sad Fate of an Old Woman and
Her Grandson.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, April 90
For several years an old lady named
Kearney and her grandson, about
eight years old, named Hand,
had been living ON a ranch several
miles north of this city in a some
what desolate place. About month
ago they disappeared, and the neigh
bors thought they had left the coun-
try. Yesterday Mrs. Beach, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. carney, arrived from st.
L 1uis and in company with a neigh
Dor went to the ranch to investigate.
In stable near the house the body Of
Mrs. Kearney was found, doubled up
and in badly decomposed condition.
The body Of the boy was found cram
med into feed box, also badly de-
composed. 1t is impossible to state
whether both were murdered by rob-
bers or whether the old lady murder
ed the boy and then suicided. The
Coroner will investigate the case to-
morrow.
LATER PARTICULARS.
The conclusion drawn from the con-
dition of things in the house and the
position in which the bodies were
found, is that the old lady and boy
were murdered for money which it
wss known the former had in the
house, but by whom is still a mystery.
Two bullet holes were found in
the skull of the boy, while his
grandmother's head was crushed
with an axe in such man
ner as to explode the theory
|of suicide. The boy was the grand.
son of ]. G. Hand, a wealthy iron
merchant of Philadelphia, and was to
come into possession of an estate OF
$4,000 at his majority. The boys
father, Frederick Hand, was wealthy
cattle man who came from Philadel.
phia to st. Louis in 1873, where he
married daughter of Mrs. Kearney.
They came here soon afterwards and
settled ON tie ranch, he dying five
months later. The mother of the
murdered boy is now in New York.
