Buffalo Gap Brass Band.

The News notes the acceptance, by
the Buffalo Gap Brass Band, Of an invi
tation from the Custer Cornet Band, te
join in the celebration in this city or
the 4th of July.
This band has the reputation Of being
one Of the best in the Hills, and it might
be advisable for the Custer musicians TO
have an eye to their laurels, otherwise
the Stone City charmers may walk of
with the medal. 1t Is safe TO conclude
that both bands will do their level best
on that day, and that excellent music
will be the pleasing and delightful re
sult.

LIVINGSTON, Aug. 3-ISpecial TO the
independent Nearly as large crowd
assembled TO witness the races here to-day
as on the Fourth of July. The attractions
of the day had been well advertised by
those having the matter in charge, and a
great many people came in from the eoun-
Try and surrounding towns. The Fort
Custer military band furnished music for
the occasion. and though there was some
dissatisfaction on the first race in the main
every body was more than satisfied with
the days sport.
The first race was called at about 1890 a.
IN. There were five entries, Oregon Buck,
Bay Jim, Sorrel John, Gold Dust
and Sorrel TTIx. This was a
hAlf-mile running race, best two in three.
The horses could not OF would not score.
and when the 20 was finally given two OF
the animals faced the wrong way. There
was so much trouble in scoring in this race
and wrangling afterwards, that il was noon
before another race could be called.
Promptly at | o'clock the judges were in
the stand, and soon afterwards the 600
yards single dash pony race was started,
and Little Chief. Bay Billy won by nearly
length, Blue Dick second.
The 100 yard foot race was easily won by
Ransberry. The result, however, sur
prised nobody, as Ransberry IS considered
here the best sprinter In the territory, and
only one man ran against him, whom il
was known he could defeat
There was entered in the trotting race,
the next on the programme, Cottonwood
Chief, owned by Chas. Blakely, of BoZe-
man, Stormy, a Deer Lodge horse, and
Bay Billy, entered by John Vail TO fill.
The race was one mile heats, best two in
three. Cottonwood Chief took the first
and second heats and the race, Stormy sec
ond, and Bay Billy distanced in the first
heat
The fourth and last was a half mile run
ming race, best two in three. The ntries
were: kickapoo, owned by ID. Daniel )
Josephine, owned by ID. w. Denley, and
Eddie r., entered by G. Z. lion. Kicka-
poo won two straight heats, Eddie X. sec

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
An Express Messenger Killed on the rand
Trunk Railway

An Express Messenger Killed on the 6 rand
Trunk Railway.
MONTREAL, Aug. S.-When the train for
Quebec on the Grand Trunk railway passed
ST. Lamberts, after going through Victoria
bridge last night, an explosion occurred in
the express car by which a messenger
named Rogers was killed. the car com
pletely wrecked and the express matter
destroyed. Rumors are afioat that il was
an attempt to blow out Victoria bridge.
The train WAS on its way to Quebec,
Portland and Halifax and consisted of
seven passenger coaches, Pullman car,
sleeping car. smoking, baggage and express
cars, the last named being next TO the
tender. The train was completely filled
with passengers, smong whom were Gen.
Middleton and Generall Superintendent
Stephenson, of the tGrand Trunk.
When the report of the explosion
was heard panic WAS about
to ensue, but this was averted by brake
man named Jones, who rushed through the
train TO the burningtcar, dexterously un-
coupled IL and the tender and engine and
let Them dash up the road where the en-
gine driver, who bravely stood at his post
amidst the most intense heat, ran them on
the siding. No cause is assigned for the
accident. though everything on the car was
of q very iufiammabIe nature. among the
goods being quantity of fireworks. The
fact, however. that the fireworks did not
explode until long after they were under
way shows the explosion did not originate
in them. The express and railway people
attach no Importance In the assertion that
it was an attempt to blow up the Victoria
bridge.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Secretary Noble

that spectators are following the United

protects all rights. Among other things,
this law provides, land all lands which

purposes, and all lands made susceptible
of irrigation by such reservoirs, bitches
