INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. e0.-Robert Mar
vel after fasting 81 days died this morn
ing. His case is 50 extraordinary that it
has attracted the attention not only OF
the curious public but of the medical fra
ternity far and near. Tie was S5 years
old. On June 18th Marvel ate his last
square meal. For 36 days he took abso-
lutely nothing into his stomach. On the
80 he bit off a piece of pie but did not eat
it. On, the 39th day he drank little
milk and at irregular periods he has con
tinued to do so. All told he has drank
not to exceed one gallon of milk in the
G7 days that have elapsed since he began
to fast. The effect of this abstinence is
what would be expected, The faster has
reduced himself to q living skeleton.
Sores came upon him by reason OF his
long confinement and lie evidently suf-
fered long and severely. His fast is the
longest on record so far as known.

OTTAWA, Aug. 21.-Inportant dis
patches from the British government ar
rived here Monday regarding the Behring
sea difficulty. Sir John Macdonald, who
has been spending holiday at the sea
side, has hurriedly started for Ottawa.
The cabinet met today 10 consider the
dispatches, which, it is learned, say ex-
plicitly that the British government de-
clines to allow its Pacific squadron to at.
ford protection TO Canadian sealers found
in Behring sea. The Dominion govern
ment has also been requested to prepare
il schedule of the damages claimed by
the owners Of the seized sealers. 1t is
intimatee in the advices received that
negotiations are now in progress between
the United States and the British govern
ment to effect settlement Of the difficult
ty by arbitration. A member of the cabi-
net said today that he had not the least
doubt but in the end the Behring sea
question would be settled to the satisfac-
ton of everyone interested and that be
fore very long. -.-.-

SMALL FRUITS.
Montana's Soil and Climate Especially
= Adapted for Their Growth.

ANApteu fOf Ihelf GfOWtn.
The peculiar fitness of the soils of
northern Montana for the growing of
small fruits is seen in the fact that in
nearly all the creek valleys and coulees
and on all the foothills and mountain
slopes we find several varieties growing
wild. On u trip through the Little Belt
mountains, southeast Of Great Falls, we
saw at various places strawberries, rasp-
berries, cherries, currants, gooseherries,
serviceberries and huckleberries growing
in wild profusion by the road side. 1t is
a we'll known fact that the ranchmen of
this section have for years depended on
these wild fruits for their supplies Of de-
liciols eatables. A few men, however,
have undertaken to raise small fruits and
the success they have achieved would as
tonisli small fruit growers Of the east.
The Gray brothers, near Utica, on the
Judith, have been experimenting with
stock business. They have about three
fourths Of an acre in currants, which this
year yielded an enormous crop. When
es were 50 full that they looked as if the
foliage was red instead of green. On a
small twig II inches long we counted 81
punches Of fine berries. These currnnts
were sold at IS cents per gallon. Their
strawberry patch produced in abundance
Of fine berries that readily sold at 81 per
gallon. From one Of their gooseberry
bushes we picked a berry that measured
~ inches in circumference. They have
| u large patch Of corn which produced as
| fine roasting ears ns can lie grown in
Ohio, and when it is remembered that
this delicacy sells at % cents per dozen
some idea of the profits Of market gar
dening may be had They have started a
grove of plum trees which are growing
nicely, but are not yet Of bearing age.
Wherever small fruit growing has been
tried it has been abundantly rewarded
with enormous yields. What has been
done IN small way only shows the posi-
bilities of the future and we see no rea-
son why Montana should send to the east
Or west for fruits, after our farmers have
had time to start orchards here.
On their ranch we saw q patch Of com
| mon red clover that would compare fav-
orably with any field in Indiana. 1t
seems useless to say anything Of the po-
tato crop when it is proverbial that Mon
tana produces the finest grown in the
world and more Of them per acre.

He Says the Stockmen Would Like to Dis
cover Some Means Of Keeping the
Sheep Out of their Backwards.
The board of stock commissioners met
At their Office in the Pittsburg block and
held long session which was princi-
pally devoted to settling claims for strays
and auditing acconrss Granville Stuart
was asked If any resolutions would be
adopted relative to the stock and wool
growing industries. He said the stock
fnen would like to adopt some reso-
lutions that would drive the sheep from
their backyards. +
He said the board was endeavoring to
have certain Gros Ventre Indian hose
thieves punished who recently stole
thirty-six head OF horses from the Bloods
over the line. Two of the thieves and
and four horses had been captured, but
the other two and thirty two horses were
at large. "These red devils are pecu-
lair set" said Mr.. Stuart. "lt is only a
short time ago that the Bloods raided the
Grow reservation aud stole band OF
forty horses; but the Crows are towards
and would not try to get their property
back. On the other hand, the Gros
Ventres are brave and so are the Bloods,
and these tribes are continually stealing
from each other. The result will be that
some day the newspapers will have a
chance to report live Indian war;"
The association, he said, was in sound
condition and growing in number. There
are only three counties in the territory
that are out of the fold. These are Miss
oula, Jefferson and Gallatin, but he
thought it would not be long before they
would join. The stockgrowers pay q
special tax to keep their organization up
and pay for the employment of inspectors
and clerk here. Persons owning ten
cows or horses and less are not required
to pay the tax Helena Independent

to have been hanged next Friday at Butte.
His death sentence has been committed to
Imprisonment for life. The reasons as
signed for this reprieve are that the e.i-

One of the claims now made for red
wood is that it burns much slower than
pine and that when redwood structures
are burned the fire is less apt to com
municate with adjoining buildings than
is the case of pine. The Times Of Eureka,
CAL, recites the fact that three-story
hotel building covering an entire quarter
of block, and built entirely of redwood,
burned to the ground recently without
setting fire to other buildings; that it was
seven hours in burning, and that it was
three hours from the time the fire started
until it broke out. The Times thinks if
it had been pine building it would have
gone like flash and other builds with it.

MILES CITY, Aug. 21.-A heavy and

and lasting half Of yesterday and all the

This is the first rainfall in two months.
It has completely extinguished the tim
Der fires which have been raging in the

rain soon extinguished this blaze. It has
been the salvation of the stockmen in this
country for this year.
THE STORM ELSEWHERE. W.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 21.-The storm which
prevailed last night and this morning was
one Of the most severe ever experienced
here. Two inches of water fell between
2 and 5 o'clock, and the lightning was
constant and vivid. The storm was gen
eral throughout this section. At Still
water several houses were struck by
lightning and considerably damaged. At
Eau Claire, Wis, the large agricultural
building OF the Northwestern Fair Asso-
citation was destroyed by fire, caused by
lightning. At Duluth the total damage
is estimated at 100000. Greater losses
are feared as the storm was severe.
