bit of ground where there wasn't any
mine at all; but he took a fancy to it
for all that, and went back to Mexico to
see about getting possession of it. He
managed things very cleverly, and got
the swells interested, and made out that
he wanted to let them into good thing,

trouble of looking after the business of

Sheep Herder Commits suicide Near

a sheep herder named Charles
Young committed suicide yesterday
morning about 7 o'clock at Hotchkiss'
ranch, about 20 miles from Miles City.
Young had been in Miles City for sew.
eral weeks out of employment, during
which time he INDUCED In protract-
ed spree. He had been employed to
go to work on the ranch of X. r. Sell

and was on his way TO the ranch. Ar

night he stopped all night, and on

Ing unhitched, and tying q piece Of
string to each of the triggers, he
fastened these to the wagon tongue,
and holding the gun in bis hands, he
pointed the muzzle 10 his face and
ierked 1t toward him so as to tighten
the cords and pull the triggers. Only
one barrel was discharged by this
motion, but that had the desired
effect. 1t blew off the whole OF his
face and the top Of HE head. Death
was instsL taneous.
No cause was assigned by the man

Eyid.ntly Her Own Hair.

A pretty married woman living near
Americus, Ga., owns COW that she
thinks the world OF. She milks the
COW herself, as she does not want her
spoiled by endless attention. Since
the crops have been gathered the cow
has been running in the fields, and
the brush Of her tail got filed with
cookie burrs. One morning last week
the lady went into the pen TO milk,
and while she was performing the
duty, the COW switched her tail into
the neatly done up hair on the lady's
head. The burrs caught and the lady
dropped her pan of milk and began TO
entangle her hair. The operation dis
turbed the COW, and she began 10
prance. The lady grabbed the tail
with both hands, and said: 80
wench! so wenchl" but the wench, not
liking the grip, started in q trot
around the pen. The lady startled
the household by her shrieks, and
negro woman ran to her rescue, but she
had TO return 10 the house for a pair
Of scissors. The COW was driven into
a stall, her tail trimmed of and left
sticking to the lady's head. She went
10 the house, and il took her husband
the negro woman and the family until
10 o'clock that night TO pick the burrs
from her head.-Atlanta American.

You will often meet men who, while
supremely Indifferent 10 the pressing
problems Of the age, are very much
concerned about many problems OF
the remote future. Here, for instance,
is dear old clergyman writing TO me
in much alarm over the question what
the churches will do when all the
world is converted To Christ. 1t gives
me great pleasure to reassure him on
this point When the churches have
converted the world, they will dis
cover that they will have to begin all
over again and convert Christianity, a.
task that will require their very best
efforts, for experience shows that il is
much harder 10 convert Christians

busy holding our own in Christendom

FIVE OF THEM RAGGED.

The Freight Car Thieves aIe all Rounded
Up and Their Booty Recovered.
The thieves, who now prove to be
five in number, who broke into the n.
p. freight car as was mentioned in the
JOURNAL of yesterday, have been
overbauled and captured and most Of
their swag recovered.
1t seems that they boarded the west
bound freight at Miles City, and
when above Forsyth, they entered the
end door Of one Of the merchandise
cars by breaking rhe seal. They then
commenced to throw Off freight.
They were discovered by the train
men who sought to nail up the car
and hold the thieves prisoners, when
they jumped off and made away.
Upon information by telegraph to
Miles City, Sheriff Irvine organized q
party and started In pursuit. but
failed to find them, owing TO a belief
that they had gone farther west. In
stead of taking this route they cut
cut across the country and made for
the Cheyenne Indian camp, near Fort
Keogh, where they proceeded 10 bar
ter their booty TO the indians. A
number OF the Indians bought shirts
ard boots, while the squaws bought
ribbons and silk remnants. II. G.
Thompson, of the Fort, seized on two
of the men and the Indians delivered
up all the stuff they had received
from them.
Three Of the men came to town lasl
night and were making their way tc
board the west bound passenger when
Deputy Sheriff Eph Davis took them
in charge, his arrest being made upon
the suspicious chsracter Of theiI
actions. The whole five are now in
jail. The names Of the men are
James Droyer, Chris Campbell, Geo
Main, David Main and A. Seap
Yesterday q party OF Cheyenn,
scouts went out 10 see II they coul,
recover any Of the goods that wer
thrown out along the track. A bal
was found containing quantity o
goods, being cigars In boxes, bottles o
hair oil, packages Of tobacco, remnant
OF silk, and ribbon and boots. One O
the men when arrested had on thre
of the stolen shirts and another had OF
two, besides two Of their own.
Great credit is due II. u. Thompson
OF the Fort, and his party Of Indians
for the efficient work they did In aid
ing the county officers TO capture th'
thieves. IL would seem that In sucl
an important instance as this II woult
be . graceful act on part OF the N. +
