wonder there is not more sickness. In
the rear of boarding houses and hotels
are piles of spoiled meats, tin cans, slops,
and decayed vegetables thrown in heaps,
making the alleys salmostimpassable, both
from the amount of T, fuse matter and
from the foul odors arising.
Rising Sun: Cascade is alive and pro-
crossing nicely. Carpenters, masons, and
business men are kept busy though this
is the busy season of the year for ranch
ers and stockmen generally. The hay sea-
son is fine; plenty of sunbeams, little
wind, no rain. The grain crop is large
and of the best quality. The horticul-
turist is happy, and, in fact, everyone is
joyous, considering the work done and the
exceptionally hot weather for this season
of theyear.
Great Falls Tribune: J. A. Hackshaw,
the recorder of the new town of Dry Wolf,
is in town. He has had plat made by
surveyor Kern, which shows good sized
town. There are 65 blocks of 20 lots each.
The lots are 35 by 120 feet, and the streets
are 60 feet wide. The alleys are Is feet.
The town will be within seven miles of
the Belt railroad. 1t is located in the
Dry Wolf district which includes some
placer mines. Mr.. Hackshaw reports con-
siderable activity among miners in and
around Dry Wolf.
Fergus County Argus: Samuel Phil
lips had sheep killed killed by lightning
during the thunder storm week ago
Sunday. The bolt struck the sheep on
the head and run the full length of it's
back, burning the wool to the width of
six inches, and passed down one Of it's
hind legs into the ground. About doz-
en- other sheep were felled to the ground,
but soon recovered from the shock Mr..
Phillips thinks he will not lose more than
one per cent. of his band in this manner.
He is not half SO much afraid of lightning
as he is of the Mills bill.
Muscular: Yesterday afternoon VIM.
Kennedy's hay stacks were destroyed by
fire. All his hay, about $50 tons, was
consumed. Mr.. Kennedy has no doubt
that the stacks we're fired by Indians. A
good many drunken Indians have been
seen around here lately and the ranchers
nesr town are thoroughly disgusted with
them. Matt. Coleman says he drove
two away from his place the night before
with a gun, and says he will shoot them
down if they don't quit monkeying around
his house. These complaints are getting
monotonous, and it will be a wonder If
some violent measures are not resorted to
by the settlers.
The Moccasin roundup and the sheep
men in that vicinity have united in con-
structing an apparatus to check prairie
fires. They propose to build tanks and
locate them at various ranches on the
range, the tanks to be placed on the run
ming gear of wagons so that they can be
moved about as the occasion may require.
In addition to the tanks they will CON
struct and attach drag made of several
thicknesses of old carpets or wool sacks
sewed together, about 12x15, which will
be kept wet and dragged over the fire by
wire attached to the horn of a saddle
Tt IS believed that fires in their incipiency
can be easily checked by this means.
Some precautionary measures should be
taken on all our anges.-Fergus County

MORE RUMoRED CHANGES,
In Which Manager Hannaford, of the N. z
Cuts an Important Figure.

ST.. PAUL, Sept. 8--The hasty call Of
General Traffic Manager Hannaford to
New York yesterday was the only ground
for the statement that he would succeed
Mr.. Oakes as general manager of the n.
P. in case the latter was made president.
A minor official Of the Northern Pacific
stated this morning that whoever would
be elected president at the meeting Of the
stockholders on the 10Th inst, his ap-
pointment is already settled. No effort,
however, is being made to secure proxies
for the meeting.
ANOTHER OFFICIAL OF THE COMPANY
gave it as his opinion that Mr.. Hannaford
would not accept the Office of general
manager, and that IN case Mr.. Oakes was
chosen president, he would still continue
to give his attention to the operating de-
partment and that Henry Willard will be
in position to look after the company's
financial affairs. Assistant General Man
ager Ainslie was not of the opinion that
Hannafords summons to New York had
anything to do with the change in the Of
flee of general manager, and he said that
there was no authentic information show
ing that President Harris was to be sue
ceeded by anyone.

A Man Accidentally Shot by Comrade and

A SAD AFFAIR.

BUTTE, Sept Con Ward, a miner
employed at the Big Bonanza mine, about
one and one-half miles northwest of Wal
keryille, was accidentally shot tonight by
a brother miner named Barney Carberry,
from the effects Of which he died in ten
minutes. Carberry was handling pistol
at his boarding house, when it suddenly
went off, the bullet striking Ward in the
left side. Ward was sitting on box
about ten feet away, reading paper,
when the accident occurred. He jumped
up, and passing his hands to his side, ex-
claimed MY God, I'm shotw Several
miners who were in the room ran to his
assistance, and also tried to obtain
statement from him. He could only
say he

the shot and after few minutes of ago
ny he expired. No trace of blood was
visible nor did the bullet 60 through his
body. It is supposed it lodged in the
heart. The deceased was middle aged
Irishman, unmarried. The coroner held
an inquest and verdict in accordance
with the facts was rendered. Ward has
been a resident of this camp for about ten
years, and was Of more than ordinary IN
telligence. His untimely death casts a
gloom over the community. His remains
will be cared for by the Miners Union.
