Fata! Explosion of Powder at Cable.

ANACONDA, May 1.-Prof G. H. Moore.
superintendent of Pyrent's mine at Gable,
yesterday afternoon brought the news of
fatal accident at their mine The un-
fortunate man was James Jennings. He
had only been working four days when
his life was suddenly closed by the explo-
sioh of powder. Jennings was working in
drift with another man, and they had
completed the holes they had been drill
ing. Jennings went back to the place
where the powder and caps we're stored to
get material for blasting. He was near
the face of the drift on his return when
loud explosion took place, the cause of
which will never be known. The body
was found horribly mutilated.

MONTANA'S DELEGATE
Always Alive to her Interests and Active in
Protecting Them.

WASHINGTON, April 27-Delegate Toole
seemed determined to make issue both in
and out of congress with the Northern
| Pacific upon the subject of mineral lands
as included in the grant. He said to-
night: II cannot see how the Northern
Pacific can make the claim it does in re-
gard to these lands. It cannot be to the
best interests of the road to secure these
lands. and hold them for high prices
from outside purchasers. This would
keep prospectors off the land and prevent
that development which the poor man
would secure for the land. If he found a
mine upon it he would make business for
the road in carrying supplies and taking
out the product. It seems to me the road
should choose that rather than segregate
these lands and prevent their develop
ment. think sufficient power does exist
with the general land office, before these
lands are patented to the road, to investi-
gate their character, and If they are found
to be mineral, to refuse to give them to
oA1O AOe1A eeA4SA lu1AIS4 bI6LI OUll6I ldIltS LA
lieu of them. To make sure, however, I
have offered bills to meet this emergency
that are now in the hands Of the house
committee on public lands, and, in addi-
tion, I have offered an amendment to the
pending general land bill, now in the
house, which hope to have adopted It
provides that before the lands are patent
ed to any land grant road the surveyor
general of the state or territory shall per-
sonally examine every tract and subdiyi-
sion Of lands and certify that they are not
mineral and are valuable only for agricul-
tural purposes. He shall then advertise
description Of these lands, and before
they are patented any person, whether
prospector or not, may challenge the sur
veyor generals decision, and the burden
of proof to show that they are not min
eral lands shall be upon the company. [ |
think with such legislation railroad
company could be prevented from secur-
ing mineral lands"

Obituary.

All things change, and we change with
them. Dog days that have heretofore
come in August came this year in April.
Now that the general round up is over
and all the different wards heard from, we
find the total number of dogs poisond Fri
investigation removes all doubt that this
was a deliberate, premeditated, cold
blooded attempt to destroy all the dogs,
good, bad and Indifferent, in town regard
less of their worth, as several parties have
found poisoned food in their yards While
most of those killed were thorough bred
and very intelligent and valuable animals,
a few were the regulation half breed half
hunter and half-setter- hunt bones
all day and sit and gnaw them all night.
There are great many of the latter class
which escaped, and it seems hard that
they 60 free while the thoroughbreds die
in agony. Let this midnight assassin be
whom he may, he has shown his hand, and
his future is very bright, if he will only
apply to Col. Rice, secretary of the Shon-
kin Stock Association, for job poisoning
wolves. His record of only one night,
knocks that of Oscar johnson and Theo.
Rouse out of time, who were employed for
this business, and have been engaged in it
all winter. And hereafter when dog is
seen leading man around with string,
as was observed in the case Of one Of our
trusted county officials last evening, do
not imagine the man is Blind he is only
holding the dog back to keep him from

ALARMING NEWS!
A Timely Warning to Montana
Stockmen.
Pleuro-Pneumonia Said to be in the Cattle
Herds of the North West Territory.

For the benefit of those interested in
the cattle business, who should be warned
and on the lookout, we give below por-
ton of letter from a reliable gentleman
at Fort Macleod to well-known business
and stock man ia this city, received two
days ago, and dated April 18th, 1888:
FoRr MACLEOD, n w. r., April, IL, 1885,
nv Dear Sir:-"The cattle at Maple
creek have got what is called peuro-
pneumonia SO tell the stockmen of Mon
tana to look out, as the authorities here
are keeping it very quiet, and the papers
here have said nothing about it. DR..
McErchran, (who is the territorial veteri-
nary surgeon) has been up there, and is
now at Calgary. 1t is claimed that they
have it also at Woodpecker."
This is timely warning to Montana,
and should be appreciated by our stock
men. We might say that pleuro- -pneumo-
MIA, which has SO often been commented
upon by the stock journals and other
authorities, is the worst disease that could
possibly get among our cattle herds. It
could be very easily imported from across
the line, as the cattle from the ranges Of
the Cypress Hills and Davis Lake, drift
down Battle creek and Milk river, and
mix with the cattle around Belknap and
Fort Assinnaboine, and from them could
easily be conveyed to the cattle of this
and other ranges. The Montana authori-
ties should be on the alert and adopt
measures that will effectually protect our
northern frontier. Such scourge would
prove more disasterous to our stock inter
ests than all the Indian raids Of former
years combined. We can very easily see
how the dread disease could be imported
into the Northwest territories, since our
English cousins are continually shipping
large numbers Of foreign cattle, both male
and female for breeding purposes. These
animals come from the older countries,
where the pleuro-pneumonia is known to
prevail, and the disease is of that charac
pass inspection. Cattle affected with it |
might readily secure clean bills Of health |
and be turned loose on the ranges with
the herd before their condition became
serious enough to attract attention.
We know the gentleman who wrote the
letter to be thoroughly reliable man, or
we would not publish his communication,
which was written to friend Of his here
whom he knew to be largely interested in
the cattle business

A Busy Scene.

County Commissioners Browne and
Harris Saturday morning inspected and
received a lot Of cottonwood trees, just
brought in from the Shonkin, to be plan
ted around the court house, after which
they were turned over to the supervis-
ion Of Mr. Mcknight, who seems to know
just what it takes in the way Of planting
and nutriment to make them live long
and prosper. AS before stated, the bottom
Of the holes are filed in with the skull
bones and horns of animals, covered over
with dirt, after which is planted the tree
around the roots Of which are deposited a
sufficient quantity of oats to hold the
moisture; then comes the final layer of
soil and the job Is done The ditch tap
ping the main, for the purpose of taking
the water into the basement of the court
house has been completed, and cross
ditch intersecting the one just completed,
about halfway between the building and
the man, is also being dug, from which
the trees and court house square will be
supplied, Messrs. H. j. Wackerlin & Co.,
are also laying the service pipe, and the
whole presents business like appearance.

A Double Murder.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, April 29.-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 the city, in a some
what desolaGe section of the country
About month ago they disappeared ard
the neighbors thought they had left the
country. Yesterday Miss Beach, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Kearney, arrived from ST.
Louis in company with a neighbor, and
went to the ranch to investigate. In
stable near the house the body of Mrs.
Kearney was found doubled up in a cor
ner, and the body Of the boy was found in
another corner. The conclusion drawn
from the condition of things in the house
and the position in which the bodies were
found, is that the old lady and the boy
were murdered for their money, which it
is thought 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 the grand mothers head was
crushed in with the axe.
