A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE,
A Minnesota Man Brings a Car Load O.
Fat Hogs to Great Falls.

A Minnesota Man Brings a Car Load of
Fat Hogs to Great Falls.
A novel il not new enterprise in the
shape of a shipment Of fat live hogs from
Minnesota to Great Falls is the latest to
attract public attention. Mr.. G. f.
Quigley, a brother-in-law of our towns
men, Mr.. Jack Enright, is a large ship
per of hogs to the st. Paul and Chicago
markets. Wishing to visit Great Falls
and other cities in Montana, the gentle
man concluded to bring out a car load of
porkers as a venture. He loaded up
some eighty odd and providing plenty of
feed started out with his shipment. He
was four days and five nights on the
road, but his porkers arrived here in ex-
cellent condition and were readily sold
to local butchers.
Mr.. Quigley says he could have taken
them as much farther without injury to
the animals. They were well bedded in
straw and given plenty of feed and water
and not n showed any lameness or
stiffness. Mr.. Quigley will doubtless re-
peat the experiment and may make a
steady business of supplying Montana
markets with live and dressed corn-fed
fat porkers. The gentleman speaks in
the highest terms Of praise of Montana.
He thinks it is Goods country" and is
bound to take first rank among the pros
porous states in the union. What most
forcibly struck Mr.. Quigley was the fine
fat CRASHED beef he saw at the butchers
stalls in the city. He said it would take
six months of good stall feeding to make
such beef in Minnesota as he saw in the
shambles in Great Falls. 1t was a revela-
ton to him. The gentleman will remain
a week or so visiting Mr.. Enright and
taking in the sights of the city.

ANOTHER BOND ELECTION.
Third Enor to Place the BOnds-MOre
Money for Dickey g. Co. to S%auander.

Third Effort to Place the BOnds-More
Money for Dickey a. Co. to Suuander.
1t was announced in Thursdays TRIB-
uNE the 100000 of refunding county
bonds can not be tloated on account of
their alleged illegality. The county COM
missioners have therefore called a special
election for November 7, to vote on the
issuing of these bonds and the amount
will be increased to $l5O.OOO. 1t is to be
hoped that the county attorney and
county commissioners in their joint wis
dom will get the bonds properly issued
this time this will be the third effort,
for if the commissioners continue the
policy of letting contracts to the highest
bidders and voting public money by the
thousands to sustain party organs, the
issue will jump up to 100000 next time.
There has been a good deal of monkey
work. about this bond business and the
people are getting heartily sick of it. 1t
has been already a costly affair and the
taxpayers will get tired of it pretty
sOOn.

Messrs. Robert Vaughn and G. E. LIE
Munyon have recently returned from a
visit to the now famous Austin ranch
and detail some interesting remininesces
regarding it.
The ranch is situated in the upper
Chestnut valley, about thirty miles from
Great Falls and about half a mile from
Hardy station. 1t is situated on the
Montana Central, at the mouth of Sheep
creek, just opposite the Half Breed rap
ids of the Missouri. Nj. Austin is, ac-
cording to these gentlemen, a most hos
pitable host.
His apple orchard includes some fiji
teen acres, and is protected from the
morning sur by a high bluff just east of
the ranch, which shades the orchard un-
til 8 o'clock. 1t is estimated that it's
yield this year will be about 10000
pounds. 1t includes some two hundred
trees Of different varieties, among them
the Whitney Seeding, Olden Sweet,
Lady Elgin, Duchess Of Oldenburg,
Wealthy, Peewalky and Red Astrakin,
and the Hyslop and Tra~nscendent, both
OF the latter being crabs. All these
trees have borne phenomenally this year.
He also has plum bearing trees Of the
following varieties: The Weaver, a yell
low and red; the Blood Golden and the
Lambert, all of a large and luscious
growth. His raspberries are the Turner
Red and the Gregg Black; his blackber-
ries the Smiths Improved and the Sch
neider, both being of very large descrip-
ton. The gentlemen also discovered an
arbor of fine Concord grapes, some we'll
developed watermelons, an abundance of
red and black c%urrants, some good speci-
mems Of pie plant and a number Of
furnishing pear trees.
But stranger yet than this handsome
display of fruit were some products gen
orally considered foreign to Montana.
Quite a large amount of corr had been
planted. This is already cut and husked
and yielded fifty bushels to the acre in
large, solid, and we'll developed ears. The
seed of this corn was secured seventeen
years ago from Gen. Gibbon at Fort
Shaw. Some tobacco four feet high and
partially in bloom was also seen, and a
thirty-acre field of red clover, which both
gentlemen pronounce equal to anything
ever seen in the east. MI. LeMunyon
secured a number of photographs of the
ranch.
In short, the years work shows con-
clusively that it is possible to produce in
Cascade county the rival products of
the north, south, east, and west success
fully and with abundant profit.

Dickey On Economy.

Immediately after awarding the con-
tracl for the county printing for two
years to the highest bidder, thus adding
from 5000 to $1,000 to the burden of
the tax payers of the county, Commits
sioner Dickey inquired Of his illustrious
compeer, Mr.. Hawkins, if court was still
in session. Being answered in the
affirmative, he proceeded to bewail the
cost of the criminal business and the ex
pense the court is piling up on the
county! Mr.. Dickey's notions of econ
omy are peculiar, to say the least. 1t is
all right to rob the county Of thousands
of dollars to bolster up a party organ,
but the court is an expensive institution
and needs curtailing.

is possible only in a few places to enter,
and then only on foot or horseback.
Along the walls are many small cham
bers and lodges and holes and the brush
makes it a very good place for the large
game. The canyon being so long and 80
well protected on the sides it offers a
kind of home or shelter for the bear
and deer which are quite numerous
there, as could be observed from the
number of tracks on the sand along the
stream. 1t is said the deer are not so
numerous of late, being frightened out
Of the valley by the increasing number
OF bear and wolves that are congregating
there. 1t is quite a pleasant place to
spend a week or two in recreation TO
breathe the mountain air and fish and to
chase the royal game and to be consid
cred in the class of honor as having
killed a "bar."

Man Slaughter in First Degree.

The case of the State. VS.. Charles
Ahlgrinn, charged with the murder oi
Richard Scholz. Of Smithwick, which
has occupied Justice Kanable's court
the past two or three days, was com
pleted today, Sept. 10th. The State was
represented by c. Z. Wilson, while
Chambers Kellar and Attorney Cleve
land plead the defendants case. The
State examined several witnesses, and
the testimony given was in accordance
with the Star before. No testimony
produced however to show
that the defendant had made any
threats against the life of Scholtz, OF
that he was intent on murder. The de
fense offered no testimony at all in be.
half of Ahlerinn. The case skillful.y
handled by Attorney Keller, and he
succeeded in proving the charge to be
one of manslaughter in the first degree
instead of murder.
In accordance with the testimony
Justice Kanable held the defendant to
appear at the next term of the circui,
court in the sum Of $500. The mini.
mum punishment fer man slaughter In
the first degree is five years, while the
maximum is twenty years.-Hot SPRING

THE JUDGEsHIP.

A petition, addressed to Governor Mel.
lette, is in circulation this week in the
Seventh Judicial Circuit, asking that
Harry ID. Reynolds, Of this city, be APP
pointed Judge to fill the vacancy that
will be created by the anticipated resig.
nation of the present incumbent, John
W. Nowlin. II is well known that
Judge Nowlins physical condition will
not permit him to perform the duties of
the Office, and had it been possible to
make satisfactory choice Of successor,
his resignation would no doubt have
been in the hands Of the governor long
before this. The steps taken in this di-
rection by Mr.. Reynolds and his friends,
meet with general endorsement in this
part of the circuit, and we believe it
will in>both Pennington and Fall River
counties. As to Mr.. Beynold's ability
and competency there is not the slight
est doubt. His success as an attorney
while practicing in the Hills is evidence
sufficient his thorough mastery of his
profession. That he is popular among
those who know him best, is attested by
the fact that his petition already bears
the name of every attorney of Custer
City, and those others residing in the
district who are at present attending
court. Moreover, Mr.. Reynolds is re-
publican, one that has done good work
for the party in this section Of the state,
and from a partisan standpoint, as we'll
as for other reasons mentioned, he de-
serves this recognition. II is believed
Mr.. Reynolds will be endorsed by every
member of the bar of the circuit, and
the matter will be layed before the gov
ernor in the near future. Judge Now
Inns i'll health during the past year or
more has prevented in degree the
prompt attention which he would other
wise have given the duties of the Office.
The people have understood the cir
cumstances and have been patient, but
all recognize the fact that change must
be made, and when ii does take place
We want man who is not only fitted
in professional way, but one who will
give his time and attention to the work.
Custer county offers II. d. Reynolds, a
man who is not only qualified, but is
also available.

The Rev. DR.. Edward Judson tells oil
a Baptist who had been very sick. The
physician had given him some medicine,
and told him he could go out, but under
no circumstances was he to get wet.
The man went out on the farm, and a
shower of rain came up suddenly. There
was no shelter near, and to save himself
he crawled into a hollow log. The &C,
ton Of the rain caused the log to shrink
so as to endanger his life.
He could not move, and being brought
face TO face with death the whole of his
past life came before him rs in a pano-
rama; he remembered the days of his
childhood, his entrance upon life, his
successes and his sins; then he remem-
bered, last of all, that when he left home
that morning he refused his wife, when
she asked him, for fifty cents for the
church, and the thought made him feel
so small that he had no difficulty in
walking out of the log.-New York Her.

4 MATTER OF TASTE

The exhibition which the Sun made Of
itself yesterday in responding to THE
LEADER on the subject OF silver may be
perfectly satisfactory to itself but If that
paper can do nothing but pervert aud
misrepresent in order to make out even a
weak case we doubt if its views will
carry much weight with the general pub
lie. 10 a personal explanation Of the edi-
tors own vote in the late lamented mining
convention, he says he is not ashamed OF
his action. This is purely a matter of
taste. We infer from what he says that
he voted against the free coinage Of
American silver mainly for the reason
that he didn't like one OF the
persons who introduced the resolu
tons. Perhaps ii was for the same
reason that he talked against the restricted
coinage OF silver because it would contract
the currency. This fact is certain: the
resolutions were shorn ofeverything which
could be construed as offensive to the fas-
udious tastes Of the political moguls and
and they were defeated simply and solely
on the ground that they advocated the
coinage Of American silver. There may
not be anything in this to be ashamed of
when contrasted with the present attitude
Of the Sun but we beg to believe that this
view of the case will be mainly held and
maintained by the editor Of the Sun him

The sight Of six horses vainly endeav-

steep hills of San Francisco inspired in
Inventor Halliday's mind the idea of the
cable a system. The hill was slippery
as well as steep. One horse fell and car.
ried down his mate. The other horses
tumbled, until the six were in "A strug.
Cling heap. The weight Of the car
dragged them down to the foot of the
hill, bruising and manning them. Mr..
Halliday, looking on, was filed with
compassion for the poor brutes, and he
says he went to work at once on plans
for a substitute for horse power. His
thinking brought him to the cable sys.
