A TRIP UP THE VALLEY.
A Merry Party Encounters Rain and
Mud.

A Merry Party Encounters Rain and
Mud.
Sunday about = a. m. a number Of very
muddy livery rigs came into the city
from the northwest, much the worse for
mud and hard travel. 1t transpired that
a number Of young people had sought
pleasure the evening before at one of the
hospitable Sun River mansions.
On the journey out the storm overlook
the party and for a time the dust made
the trip anything but agreeable. After
arriving, the rain continued falling all
night but the dampness without had no
effect in depressing the spirits of the
merry party within, who pleasantly
whirled away the hours until 8 a. m.
when they started for the city.
The homeward journey was somewhat
retarded by the heavy mud and when
the travellers reached the city they had a
very different appearance from the gay
party that started out the previous even
ing. Yet Messrs. Goss, Verge, Kennedy,
Hawkins and Cummings will vouch that
it was a very. pleasant trip.

DEATH OF sAPoo MUxIMA,
The Chief of all the Blackfeet Passca to the
Happy Hunting Grounds


There are few of the old-timers of this
section that do not know personally, or
know Of, SGpooMuxima which translated
means Crowfoot, the chief of the Black
feet tribe, including the Bloods and
North and South Piegans. The old
chieftain passed away u few days ago at
his sepee in the Blood camp near Fort
Macleod, mid all the clamor and pomp
of royal demise in that tribe. Crow
foot has been for more than a quarter of
a century a commanding figure among
the Indians Of the Northwest and he has
been especially noted for his friendship
to the whites. He is succeeded IN au-
thority by his brother, Three Bulls. The
Lethbridge News in noting the death Of
the chieftain, gives the following inter-
esting account of him:
Crowfoot was not merely the chief of
this band of Indians, but was the head of
the whole Blackfeet nation on both sides
Of the line, the nation including the
North and South Piegans, the North and
South Blackfeet and Bloods. The old
Indian legend as to the derivation of the
lame Blackfeet, as told a thousand times
in the tepee, is that ages ago the original
father Of the Blackfeet had three sons
the first he called Pieganah, or the
Wealthy man, the second he called Keno,
or the Bloody man, but the third son he
left unnamed. Nothing but misfortune
followed this third son, and he was
treated by his fellows as a pariah. One
day he went to his father who was sitting
in the lodge preparing to have a quiet
smoke, and said that his having no name
caused him much sadness, which was the
cause Of ill-luck. His father who was
just about to light his pipe with a piece
of ignited wood (nlatches not being then
%invented) stroked him across the foot
with the piece of wood, thereby making
a black mark on his sons moccasln, say
ing you shall be called Blackfoot. "From
that day everything prospered with
Blackfoot, and when he died the Black
feet were the most powerful tribe of
Indians in the world. 80 goes the
There probably never lived an Indian
who was 80 thoroughly friendly to the
whites as Crowfoot. 1t was mainly owing
to his great influence over the tribe that
the B.ackfeet did not take up arms dur
ing the rebellion Of 1885.
He was a man Of great personal cour-
age and his body was a mass of scars from
bullet and knife, received In Indian war
fare. At one time while at Mountain
Fort, the Indians obtained a quantity of
whiskey from some traders, and became,
so infuriated that a general MAST ere was
proposed, and had it not have been for
Crowfoot's magnificent bravery, would
have been carried into effect. He drew a
line on the ground with his axe, saying
that the first man who passed over It
would receive a quick dispatch to the
Happy Hunting Ground, and no man was
found drunk or brave enough to try the
experiment, In Crowfoots death, an
other picturesque Indian whom Fenni-
more Cooper delighted to write about
has passed away. Crowfoot was visited
by many we'll known and distinguished
men, the last being Lord Stanley, on his
recent trip through the northwest.

Death Of Fanohion Guerin.

Monday at 8 o'clock a. m. the spirit of
sweet Fanchion Guerin winged Its way to
ite home beyond. She was taken sick
last week with some throat disease which
finally developed into diphtherla and
bat1ed the utmost skill of the physicians.
"Cricket,"' as Fanchlon vas familiarly
called, was we'll known and her sweet
smile, pleasing manners and wise an
swers made her q universal favorfte. al.
though only a child Of 9 years her pres
ence was always welcome as sunshine to
the various business houses which it was
her won't to visit. She was wise beyond
her years and her sunny disposition made
her the pride and delight Of her fond
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Guerin have the
sincere sympathy Of the entire city In
this sad bereavement
Onaccount of the contagious character
of the disease the funeral occurred at
8 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. W. B.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-North and
South Dakota delegations are unanimous
in their expressions of dissatisfaction
with the river and harbor bill as it has
been fixed by the senate committee on
commerce. Seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars were asked for improv-
ing the Missouri river above Sioux City,
as on that portion of the river there is no
railroad competition, and much greater
necessity exists for Improvements.
No one acquainted with the two Sec
tions would hesitate in expressing the
opinion that the amount asked was not
exorbitant and should have been appro-
pristed, yet the bill allows nothing fer
improving navigation above Sioux City,
but makes an appropriation Of q million
dollars for Improvements below. The
great needs Of that country commercially
lie up the river where the means O. trans-
portation are beggarly compared with
those afforded below.

General Summary Of Current Local

In the prospect Of tapping the rich ore
deposits at Neihart and Barker, the i'm
portance of extending the Belt Mountains
railroad on further seems to have been
overlooked. Without encountering any
more serious difficulties than have al.
ready been overcome, the Neihart branch
could be extended on through the range
to or near White Sulphur Spring and the
rich mines at Castle. In this camp there
are a number of mines which already
have a high rating and are capable of
producing hundreds Of tons Of ore daily.
The Cumberland and Yellowstone mines
have justly achieved a wide reputation
for the richness Of their ores and the i'm
mense quantities Of mineral in sight.
There are many other prospects which
with the present slight development show
up as we'll as either Of these fortune pro-
ducers did with the same development.
In rejoicing over the opening of the
road to Barker and Neihart, Great Falls
should not lose sight Of the possibilities
OF the further extension of her railroad

san FRANCISCO, May 11.-Col. Silas
Wenbau, the mining magnate and wealthy
cattlemen Of Nevada, has just returned
to the palace hotel from a tour Of in
spection Of his Nevada properties. He
said to a Chronicle reporter last evening:
1.-THE cold and the snow Of the past win
ter have caused the death of one.half of
the cattle in Nevada. A neighbor, whose
ranch adjoins mine a, Cortez, lost 90 per
of his herds. l lost probably one-half of
mine. l have $50 head of stock lying
dead around my barns at Cortez in q
space 5Ox100 feet. The Humboldt river
is very high and overlooking it's banks.
Hundreds of dead cattle are floating down
the stream and piling up here and there
in large numbers.
HORSES AND HEE ALSO LOST.
1.-THE loss to the cattlemen by the snow
and cold of the winter will amount to
over 81, 900, and it may possibly reach
$4,000, 000. VIM. Dunphy, the San Fran
cisco cattleman, tells me he lost 10000
head of cattle. valued at 100000. The
heavy snow vas followed by extreme
cold. The thermometer at my place at
Cortez registered 81 degrees below zero.
The snow was SO deep that the feed was
buried. There were also thousands of
horses and Eheep that succumbed to the
weather. The horses suffer less, because
they will dig in the snow, but the cattle
just stand in the snow and freeze to
death. The winter has been as disastrous
to the cattlemen as any within my re-
cn1lnrtion.D AKA. I.

The National Capital.

The city of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri-
cans. Not alone because it is the great
throbbing heart of the mightiest and
grandest republic the earth has ever
known. but also on account of its material
magnificence All Americans take pride
in its beautiful avenues, majestic archi-
lecture, stately homes, and well stored gal
leries and museums as things of grandeur
and beauty in themselves, apart from the
historic interest with which they are in
vested. 1t Is a hope and aspiration of all
Young America, at least. TO some time
or other visit the capital of his country.
The Baltimore q Ohio railroad offers
unequalled facilities in aid Of this desire.
All its through trains between New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east.
and Pittsburg Cincinnati st. Louis and
Chicago on the west. pass through Wash
ingtOn. It's fast express trains are vesti-
buled from end to end and heated with
steam. Pullman's latest and best prOduc-
tons in the way of sumptuous drawing
room sleeping cars are attached to all its
through trains. The present management
OF the b. & o. have made vast improve
ments in the last two years, and the road
Is today one of the foremost passenger car
rying lines in the country. Through tick
cts via the B. 81. o. railroad can be procur
ed at all the principal ticket offices
throughout the United States.
