CAMP NEAR BATTLE CREEK, 8. D.,
Dec. 26.-The situation here remains
practically unchanged. The weather Is
cold and the rivers are frozen solid. A
company of Cheyenne scouts is enramped
at the mouth of Battle Creek. Two at
tempts were made Wednesday by hostiles
who number about 90, to break into their
camp. The first attack was made by onl y
q few of the Indians who were quickly
repulsed with a loss Of two killed and
several wounded. Three Of the Cheyenne
Indian scouts were wounded aud 1t is
thought one is fatally hurt. The second
attack vas made after dark by what was
supposed to be the whole band, who were
led by Kicking Bear himself. Volley
after volley wal fired on both sides and q
desultory fire was kept up for an hour or
more. 1t is not known how many of the
hostiles were killed but Judging from re-
ports of q of the scouts there must
have been several killed as he says he
heard several shout in Sioux language
that they we're hit. Troops were sent to
the scene at an early hour yesterday
morning and report everything quiet and
no hostiles in sight.

CASCADE COUNTY ITEMS.


Senator Paris Gibson of Great Falls ar
rived In town last Sunday on his way to
Barker.
Seven carloads of ore and one carload
OF bullion were shipped to the Great
Falls smelter from here last Sunday.
John McAssey of the Moulton mine at
Neihart returned last Sunday, after sew
eral months absence in California. John
reported having a good time during his
~sOjourn or the Pacific coast.
Messrs. Hunter and McCrady, who were
mentioned in our last issue as having
come from Logging Greek, are not from
that place, but from Great Falls. The
hasty manner In which they have put up
a building demonstrates the rustling
character Of the men.
H. L. Mcintyre, the Great Falls en-
gineer and surveyor, came to town on
business last week from Barker, where
he is now surveying several claims. Mr..
Mcintyre will be in Monarch the latter
part Of this week experimenting the
building of the new bridge across Belt
river.
The Hotter saw mill is now running
every day and stretching its capacity to
fill orders. Logs are piled profusely
about the place, and teams from Mon
arch and the adjoining towns are hauling
off the lumber before it has laid a day in
the yard. The mill will have to run sew
eral days before it can fill the orders al
ready received.
Pat Gleason II Michael Toomey have
entered into a partnership for the pur-
pose of working two lime kilns at Hol-
ter's siding, two miles north of town.
The lime kilns were originally the prop
erty of Mr.. Gleason, ard an assay recent
ly obtained shows the lime to be of ex-
cellent quality. For the present they
will burn about 10000 lbs. of lime every
- days, but the opening Of an additional
kiln will increase their output to about
10000 lbs. every four days. The lime
found in this locality is always of excel
lent quality and therefore finds a ready
market.

Arrested for Endorsement.

ALBANY, N. Y. Dec. 26.-Daniel W.
Talcott, head book keeper in the employ
of H. W. Sage & Co., lumber dealers, was
arrested this evening on the charge of
embezzlement and sent tc Jail. His bail
was fixed at $4,000. The exact amount OF
his thefts is not yet known but 1t is be-
lieved it will run high up into the thous-
auds. After Sage & Co.'S. confidential
clerk, Joseph B. Abbott, who killed him
self on DECEMBER 8, had been caught
stealing from the firm, an expert was
employed to examine the books, and thus
Talcott's dishonesty was discovered. 1t
appears that T'alcott and Abbott operated
in collision, Their operations were
faciliated by the fact that the firm trusted
both implicitly and left bank checks.

business purposes. These he filed out
and cached and the money he pocketed
and charged it to some fictitious expendi-
ture. 'Talcott is elderly and had always
been thought the soul of honor.

Fires In Dead

ST. PAUL, Dec. ga Pioneer Press
from Deadwood, South Dakota, says: AT
half past one this morning the fire bell
announced fire in the frame hotel of G.
g. Fargo and the flames were quickly
communicated to adjoining buildings,
the fire being beyond the limits of the
hose of the fire department. A general
conflagration followed, destroying the
blacksmith shop, grocery store and a
number Of residences. Most of the per-
sonal goods saved but the loss is fully
$4,000.
Again later the fire alarm was turned
in from the Third ward, the Keystone
hotel, the largest In the city, being on
fire, This fire threatened the destruction
of the city but was within reach Of the
department and was o e%xtlnguished.
Upwards of 1000 graders from rail.
roads were in the city on a special yester-
day and IN order tn onell their disturb
apce the mayor had ordered the hose
turned on them. It is thought first two
fires were set by some of the graders out
Of revenge. Ugly rumors prevail that
threats have been made to lay the town in
ashes before morning. Short work will
be made of any incendiary who may
be caught. 4

Huston has r~econsidered his resignation

A Big suit.

ST.. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 26.-1t Is an
nounced here that the Adams Electric
Railway company of st. Louis will, with
in the next two weeks, enter suit against
the Thomson-H Houston, Sprague, Short
and other electric railway companies,
whose systems are now in successful OPP
erntion, for infringement of patents GOV
ering the fundamental principle of pro-
polling cars with electricity as the motive
power. The claim upon which proceed
ings will be based is the official record of
the patent Office department in Washing
ton, backed by legal opinions from the
most eminent patent lawyers in this
country, to the effect that the Adams
company holds the patent under which
every successful electric railway system
of the country is now being operated.
The suits will involve claims against the
various companies aggregating millions
of dollars aud should the cases be decid-
ed In the Adams company's favor it will
make that corporation the greatest cleo
trio monopoly in the world. 1t is ex
pected that the litigation will be second
only to that between the Bell Telephone
company and other companies in opposi-
tion To IL. T.

R. G. DUN q CO.'S REPORT.
Heavy Holiday Trade Representatives.
cial Situation Growing Better,

Heavy Holiday Trade Reported--Finan-
cial Situation Growing Better,
New YORK, Dec. 28.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: Bust
ness has progressed rs well as could be
expected in a week broken by Christmas
holiday and the great snow storm, The
holiday trade was remarkably heavy here
and Mt nearly all other points good, which
is by no means evidence that the tight
ness of the money market springs from
any general embarrassment of business
or industry.
The volume of payments through banks
continues large, though but about 3 per
cent larger than a year ago. Railroad
earnings thus far reported for December
also show a gain of about 4 per cent we
those of same weeks last year. Foreign
trade is very heavy, in spite of the causes
which we're expected to insure q meterial
decrease. The uncertainty in regard to
monetary legislation and its possible
effects is still a great obstacle, but even
this has less business disturbing influence
than it had a week or two ago, as the
prospect of the unwise action seems more
remote and the money markets generally
have grown easier during the past week,
not only at the east but at some of the
western and southern centers.

New YORK, Dec. 28.--Today's storm
on the water was much worse for navi-
CATION than the heaviest fog. Everything
in the line of a stesm craft was inter
rupted and the movement of vessels pro-
PEELED by sail was suspended altogether.
Snow fell so rapidly on the upper bay
that even those trusty guardians of Gus
toms service, revenue cutters, kept close
to their wharf, and did not venture out
A peculiar feature Of the storm was that
while the wind was unusually violent ON
land, there was scarcely any on the water.
The sea, too, was as smooth as the upper
Hudson IN midsummer and the snow was
left in complete possession. A dispatch
from Point Pleasant, N. j., says a heavy
storm OF binding snow is raging along
the entire coast from Sandy Hook to
Cape May. The air 10 so thick with snow
that it is difficult to look any distance out
to sea. Telegraph and telephone wires
are down and it is feared there are
wrecks along the coast which have not
yet been reported on this account. Supt.
Ravens has ordered the entire life saving
service along the coast to patrol their
beaches aud look out for wrecks.
Reports continue to be received from
all parts of New York state showing q
heavy fall of snow and consequent inter
ruption Of traffic. b,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-This city has
experienced the heaviest snow storm In
years and this morning travel Of all kind
was almost suspended. The snow was
ten inches deep on the levrl. Street car
riding was precarious and pe%destrianism
though preferable was nj luxury. In a
great portion of town sidewalks were not
generally cleared by the hour for move
ment from the breakfast table to the
office desk and SO the plodders had to
take to the middle of the streets.
