ton with those Of the cheap labor of the

always been possible, but il has taken
time to supply the facilities and conven-
fences for their production, and Montan-
ians are only Of late years getting these
things, they being now fixed to live pretty

of depredations from what seems to be a
regularly organized band of horse thieves
and burglars. Houses have been broken
into and all kinds Of articles taken, In

several brands made, of such shape that
they can be put over other brands, IN
tirely e~ifacing the original. Several horses
are missing from the range, all supposed
to have been run of by thieves. A prom
nent farmer and stock raiser from that
section the other day learned OF several
parties suspected of robbery, who imme-
diately disappeared on learning that
measures were being taken to apprehend
them. A party of seven men has started
to hunt for missing stock and capture the

at present, as the gang Is supposed TO be
more extensive than II ut first appeared.
