and earnestness. Captain Jensen reports
he company as efficient and attentive to
drill.
Thos. Ray and wife returned to Helena
today. Mr.. Ray has been here day or
two looking after his stock interests. He
is not inclined to take d very hopeful
view Of the situation from a cuttleman's
standpoint
AT the First National bank election last

We learned today from Benton parties
that Clark Tingley, whose injuries have
been noted in the TRIBUNE, is liable to
be cripple for life. His lower extrem-
tiles are apparently paralyzed, but his
mind is as clear as ever. He is able tc
use his arms little. The injured man
is at the hospital at Benton.
Capt. Hiram j. Cleveland of Edger-
town, Mass, writes to Postmaster TAYLOR
saying: "We have received news that
Capt. George r. Athearn and wife Of the
Vineyard, who were at Great Falls in
May, have been murdered, Do you know
anything Of such report, or could you
tell when they left Great Falls?" Other
inquiries have come to the same effect.
Captain Athearn and wife are unharmed.
They reside in this neighborhood and re-
ceive letters at the postotfice. The Judith
valley murders appear to have misled the
friends OF Captain Athearn.

Advices from Chicago up to the end of
last week throw some light on the cattle
market. A we'll known firm writes as
follows: "We can not give any encour-
agement to shippers while the present
receipts continue. There are quite
good many dry corn-fed cattleyetto come
to this market, besides the large number
of "still-fed" cattle which undoubtedly
will come during the first half Of July.
The grass cattle, or the cattle fed on grass,
are at discount, and our dressed beef
killers refuse to buy them, unless they
are fine in quality and very fat Rough
corn-fed and grass cattle, weighing from
/ 400 to 1000 lbs, the dressed beef men
will not bid on at all; you can only sell
them to exporters, and then at low prices.
The grass-fed cattle will not be in de-
mand until the dry lot cattle are all gone.
Our northern range cattle this year are in
better condition than they have been for
