Captain COUGHS Purchase.

The purchase of the Robert Vaughu's
ranch on Sun river, by Superintendent
Thomas Couch, was made for $4,000,
and includes Mr.. Vaughn's fine group OF
blooded stock. 1t is understood that L.
X. Larrabie, of Butte, has a half interest
in the deal The ranch will be used by
these gentlemen for stock raising pur-
poses, to which business Mr.. Larrabie
has of late given much attention. He
recently purchased farm in Madison
county, upon which number of blooded
horses from Kentucky have been placed.
Helena Independent
The above statement, so far as it refers
to Mr.. Larrabie, is entirely incorrect.
Captain Couch bought the property en-
tirely on his own account as home for
his family of four sons and daughter.
He will build house on the ranch this
year. Captain Couch has become popu-
lar with the people here. He knows this
country and the Belt mountains mining
region well. He says that he never saw
richer silver ore than some which was

A BIG WHEAT CROP.
Mr.. Graham Shows Come Fine Samples of
No. Hard Wheat.

Mr.. Graham Shows Come Fine Samples of
No. Hard Wheat.
Mr.. David Graham left at the Townsite
company's office yesterday large sample
of No. hard wheat, grown by him on
his bench land farm on Box Elder creek,
about Is miles from Great Falls. 1t is
one Of the choicest samples Of this variety
of spring wheat we have ever seen. 1t
was grown without irrigation and mostly
upon newly broken land. Mr.. Graham
sowed "a bushels of wheat, which yielded
him 1876 bushels, He intends to SOW from
rs to 100 acres this year and, as there are
no irrigating bitches within 80 miles OF
this land his faith in raising wheat with
out irrigation is fully demonstrated. The
land within q radius Of 80 miles of Great
Falls cannot be surpassed by the lands OF
any other section of the United States for
raising large crops Of No. hard wheat
While wheat crops have been a failure in
other sections, they have never failed
here during the past four years.

filled with drifts, which lay thick be-
tween it and tie road. He couldn't get
through easily. 1t would hinder him in
his journey, too Perhaps he wouldn't
see homo that night he said to himself
So he drove on.
What made him connect that dogs
barking with the story Of the lost child?
He couldn't seem TO get rid of that. He
stopped, and again measured the dis
tance and the height of the drifts, de-
cided that it wasn't worth while TO get
through them list fur dog" as he
tried To make himself believe, and again
started
"What if it was your childT The
thought stung him.
"WeD, here goes!' he said. and suited
the action 70 the word by covering his
horse with the sleigh robe and striking
out for the house. 1t was struggle
even for the hardy farmer. As he neared
the place the barking grew louder. The
door on the side toward him was almost
covered, so he made for,the rear. That
had been sheltered from drifts by the
building, and small door was accessible
there. AS he opened it handsome New
foundland dog rushed out, jumping on
him and whining for joy. Mr.. Wilkins
eyes, dazzled by the snow, could at first
see nothing, but the dog pulled him
toward the most sheltered corner of the
place, where four-year-old girl lay,
white and motionless.
Mr.. Wilkins dropped down beside her
and felt her hands, head, and finally
her heart. The little one was not dead,
as he first thought, and his chief care
was to revive her. Being utterly ex-
hausted, all he could do at first was to
fold her In his arms under his overcoat.
Presently be started for the sleigh, fol-
lowed by the faithful dog whose devo-
ton had perhaps saved the cAild's life.
| He was anxious to reach the sleigh, for
| he had bethought himself of a bottle of
milk which his host had put up with
lunch for him. That and the air seemed
| to revive the child. She clung to him,
crying, until the dog poked his nose into
her hand as he sat beside them on the
sleigh seat. Then she smiled and tried
to pat him, calling him ''Nelo," her
word for ''Nero," which was the name
on his collar. AS soon as she had recov-
cred sufficiently to sit up, Mr.. Wilkins
drove on towards home, planning to
send word by the next person that passed
his house bound downward, for he felt
sure this was Judge Carter's lost daugh-
| ter.
| His work was not over when hereached
home, and saw the little group waiting
in the window for him. 1t was necessary
to shovel his way in. His wife threw a
rope to him from the loft window, at
taching shovel on the other end SO that
he could haul it out. When the way was
clear he brought the now sleeping child
in, and told how he had found her and
the story he had heard.
Then what talking and running to
and fro commenced! The baby must be
petted and fed and put to sleep, and the
handsome dog must receive some atten-

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-11-28

So the day wore on. wnen Ene cniI-
dren fretted their good mother talked
about what father would bring, and how
sure she was that he would come on the
next day--the day Of their great feast
itself. She wasn't n all sure when she
first said so, but this was her way Of
keeping her own hopes up, and she sue
ceeded so well thar she almost believed
they would see old Bess and the sleigh
Thanksgiving morning.
wednesday had passed slowly to Mr.
Wilkins in the dingy little hotel where
he was staying. When he started for
home early on the following morning
the hangers on about the door forboded
all sorts of evil results to his "foolhardy
notion" of trying to get through such a
snow, but he persisted in going.
Seems es if must" he told them.
It was hard work-harder than he had
expected, but old Bess was a strong
horse, and he himself used to rough
weather.
Twelve miles were Travelled without
incident or accident. The rest Of the
way was lonely enough, some of it skirt
ing woods and leading through glens.
1t was a wild, beautiful drive In sum-
mer, but desolate in winter. AS Mr.
Wilkins drove on, thoughts of aIe event
Of which he had heard in town recurred
TO his mind: Judge Carter's little girl
was lost; missing since Tuesday; servant
took her-to walk; neither of them seen
since; a thousand dollars rewardr"
These had made little impression on the
busy man at the time, but now, In the
quiet of that lonely drive, they came
back in fragments. He thought of his
own little ones and Of the awful weather
that had prevailed since Tuesday, the
day he had left home.
He was startled from his reverie by
the sharp barking of dog. 1t seemed
to come from an old building off from
the road, which, situated near pond,
had once been used as an ice house. He
listened. Yes. that was the place from
which the noise came, and the barking
sounded as if something unusual had
happened. The Ice house was deeply
