SING SING, n. Y. July 5.--All OF the
preparations for the execution of the
four murderers who are under SEN
tence OF death here were completed to-
day, and although no intimation has
been gwen by warden Brown OF the
time when the execution will take place,
it is generally the opinion that the men
will be executed after O'Clock to-mor
row morning.
The four men were in better epirits
this morning. apparently, than they
have been IN several days. The Japan

Keeper Connaughton came IN. "Clesn-
ing your cell, are you" said the keeper.
pleasantly, and the Jap looked up and
smiled AS ne answered "Yes." All Of
the prisoners ate well all through the
day, and the keepers on watch re-
ported that they slept we'll last
night. They did not speak OF
the approach uf the execution
To any one except to their spiritual ad-
visers who were with them during the
greater part OF the day. Chaplin Edger-
went down to the condemned cells
shortly after service III chanel and re-
mained through the greater part of
morning. He was with Indigo part of
the time but most of tine time was with
Smiller. Father Creden went down to
the cells after mass and renamed with
Wood and Slocum for quite time.
He reported them to be in good spirits.
Wood does not look for any reprieve
now and he seems glad that the long
suspense is almost over. A: O'Clock
this evening the death watch was
placed around prison walls, q regular
patrol was established along the side
that runs IN front of prison and along
the sides of the prison about ten yards
from the walls. Guards placed on this
duty were informed and armed with
repeating rifles with instructions to
shoot any one who approached the
prison within this line. without author
ity.
Shortly after o'clock this evening
the head keeper visited the four men.
lie found them in apparently good
spirits. They had eaten hearty DIM
ner of roast beef and vegetables. At q
late hour tonight there was no sign OF
preparation for execution, an. every
thing seems to point to its postpone
ment until late morning hour.

Terre Haute was billed to play with

failed to get it. When the manage
ment found 1t out they got . hustle on
them TO secure the GanIell family Of
Sparta and sent down . special engine
TO bring them up. When the proper
time came, Grand Rapids took the field
and Doty put three balls over the plate
just TO clineh the idea that the team
had won a game. Nine to nothing WAS
the result. After monkeying around
for about an hour, the Ganzeli family
with a few additions here and there ap-
peared. The collection is known as
the Weich Folding Bed nine, and II
they hadn't been nervous they would
have shown up very favorably yester
day. As It WAS they earned four runs
to Grand Rapids two, and secured two
home runs OFT Doty. who WAS taking
things very easy. Popkay led off with
double and scored on q Wild
pitch and sacrifice. Hodgins
has the making OF good pitcher. Hs
is about Hofford's size and build. His
defeat of Belding, Saturday, when he
let them down with three hits made
him lame, and Booram came in from
right to feed balls to the hungry siug-
gers. When Geo. Ganzell came TO bat
IN the sixth, Murphy remarked: THAT
fellow has an ugly swing. He will be
putting that ball out of sight if Doty
don't look out" Sure enough the
word was right. Doty had surprised
homesick look as Ganzell trotted
around, with motion like a one-legged
skirt dancer. la the eighth the first
man up, Mr. Hawley, put another bali
over and Doty repeated his facial gest-
ures. In the seventh, however, when
the Spartans put three singles and q
double together he never moved q
muscle. The balloon ascension at
tracted everybody's attention in part of
the eighth inning, and the aeronaut
lighted just hack Of the right garden.
Breckenridge had joke on him in the
third. He grabbed his bat close to the
small end and seriously intended TO
put the ball into the lake. The nearest
he came to it Was strike out. The
features of the game were brilliant
fielding of Dowie, Peltz and Yo ckey
and the two home runs.

slaughtering Along the Line.

Notwithstanding the numerous wreCks of range slaughter plants that stand the country over, as monuments to men and means embarked in the unsuccessful enterprise of slaughtering beef on the ranges for the markets of the country, still wo always find men and money ready to undertake the re-establishment of deserted plants. There is probably no doubt that the idea is feasible, but there has heretofore been a screw loose some where.
 The fault, it strikes us, has been that plants have not been able to secure the amounts of cattle necessary for slaugh- tering as required by the market, and this was due to the refusal of rangemen to sell, from day to day, at the prices of the Chicago market minus freight. Can this obstacle be overcome? That is the question, and in Montana it is to be es- saved again, and even at the abandoned plant of our marquis, at Medora.
 A special to The Butte Miner gives the information that there was a son of a duke at the Richelieu hotel, Chicago, last Saturday, who signed himself Mon. tague, London, England.
 Said he:
 l am going to try and do what the Marquis de Mores tried and failed to do, that is to establish beef packing estab- ishments along the line of the transcon- tifiental railroads, including the Cana dian Pacific, Great Northern. Northern Pacific, Union and Southern Pacific.
 l fully understand that the enormous prestige and great wealth of Armour and other meat packers will be exerted against me, but I am thoroughly &C., quaiIted with the stock business and am prepared to bide my time, and run for several years, if need be, at loss.
 The mere force and weight of money will do most things in this world, and as l have that, coupled with practical ex- perience, have the utmost confidence in the undertaking. Now that have settled upon the plan feel no hesitancy in speaking.
 l will go first to Medora, the town De Mores built, and if there is anything left that can use I will buy it. By the mid de of May expect to have eight estab- lishments in progress of erection. There will be one near Pasco, Wash, one at La Grande, Ore, one each near Livingston, Laurel Junction, Big Horn (on the river of the same name); Blatchford, on the Powder river; Hoyt, on the Yellowstone, all in Montana, and at Medora, on the Missouri.
 l Iexpect to do all the business of the west almost from the first, and also some considerable foreign business. My friends in England will of course attend to my foreign connections, and if all goes we'll we will in course of ten years control the entire beef market of the world. The business will receive my constant personal attention. - Stock Growers Journal.

Terry accompanied Gibbons column, and gave Custer discretionary powers as to his action after striking the trail. He stated to Custer that he believed the trail would lead toward Little Big Horn, trib- utary of Big Horn draining hilly region between that river and the Rosebud, and expressed the opinion that Custer had best not follow it in that case, but continue sOuthward a specified distance, and then swing in westward toward Little Big Horn, to prevent the escape of the Indians south or southeast should they flee before Gib- bon's column. Custer started from the mouth of ihe Rosebud June 22, and on the morning of June 9 crossed the divide" between Rosebud and Little Big Horn, following the trail into little valley lead, ing to the latter stream.
 Custer left no explanation of his reason for following the trail instead of continu- ing on southward, as Terry suggested. He consulted with his officers and scouts about crossing the divide in the presence of Indi- ans who had been seen, and after crossing 1t and reaching the sheltering valley sepa- rated his regiment into four bodies and gave orders to sweep down on wide circuit to the river. Custer, with Companies c, k, F. l and l., kept straight ahead Maj. Reno, with three companies, marched on the op- Poste side of the valley stream, and Capt, Benteen. with three companies, marched on the left of Reno. A company under Capt. McDougal was left with the pack train. Reno and Custer moved within sight of each other during the forenoon,

The number of warriors engaged was estimated by good judges at about 2,JOO. The bands of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were present and Crazy Horse was the inspiring genius on the Indian side. The savages had large re-enforcements from the neighboring res ervations.
 The number of troopers with Custer was 2T7. A monument on the crest where Gus ter made his last stand records the names of all who fell The battle ground is na tional cemetery.
 Terry's column numbered l, 100 men in all, and all the tribes in the vicinity sent their warriors to the camp on Little Big Horn to Overwhelm whatever troops had the temerity to attack. Gen. Crooks col umn, 1000 strong, on its march north to cooperate with Terry had attacked these same Indians near the head waters of the Rosebud the week previous, and meeting with defeat had returned south without efTecting a junction with Terry. Terry reached Custer's battlefield two days after the fight. GEORGE l.. KILMER.

How Not to Drive a Team--A Nervous,
 Fiery Man Should Never Undertake to
 Teach Team to Draw Heavy Loads.
 Better Draught Horses, Better Drivers
 I have a sand bank on my farm, and besides selling sand to several small vil- lages sell to farmers for miles around. We know that sand is very heavy, aver aging about 5000 pounds per yard, and the ground is often soft in the bank. have learned to watch new customer and his team closely. The amount that a team will pull out of the bank varies from one-half yard to two yards and Q quarter. Probably one man with very common looking team will load one and a half yards, carelessly take up his lines and go out without any effort on the part of his horses,
 Perhaps the next team will be much larger, better looking, with good har- ness, etc., but before the man gets one yard loaded he will begin to look for a good place to get out, complain of the ground being soft, finally put on few more shovelfuls, then take large whip, get on the load, stop the team two or three times until they get as nervous as the driver, then halloo at them and probably strike them. The chances are that they will go at it in seesaw style, until they will refuse to pull or else break something. We have had single trees scattered all around simply be- cause the teams were not properly driven. have told parties to take off four good horses, and then have put on one good team and pulled the load out with ease. What Is wanted is to learn how to use their power, and to do it without get ting excited.
 A nervous, fiery man should never un- dertake to teach team to draw heavy loads. have seen men refuse to load more than one yard, then begin to worry their team as soon as out on the road, probably trot part of the road home and all the way back, and at night their team would show more fatigue than if they had hauled one-half more and let them take more natural gait. One of the first things to teach a team should be that if they could not move a load they would not be whipped; the next thing to learn is how much your team can pull, and how fast they can travel and not overtax their strength. It would be surprise to many to see the farmers of this neighborhood undertake to pull a heavy load, and it would often be diff cult to decide which is the most needed, better draft teams or better trained drivers.-C. J. in National Stockman and Driver.

portant leader of the hostile Sioux at the time was Crazy Horse, who, like Sitting Bull, was simply head man of a band and not tribal chief The war riOrs led by these head men numbered about go. In the early spring of 1876 repeated hostilities on the part of these rowing bands toward white settlers and friendly Indians in Montana and Dakota stirred the government to some action to bring them under subjection. It was pro posed to surround them and offer the usual terms.
 The Indians were on the Yellowstone or it's tributaries, and a column of troops un der Gen Terry and another under Gen Crook started from opposite directions with the purpose of hemming them in Terry was on the north along the Yellow stone, and had with him two bodies of in fantry and cavalry, one led by himself and the other by Col John Gibbon. Custer was with Terry, and commanded the Seventh cavalry While the column was halted near the mouth of Rosebud river a scout ing expedition struck fresh lodge pole trail leading toward Big Horn river, a stream parallel with the Rosebud and thirty to fifty miles west of it. Terry di vided his forces into two columns, one led by Gibbon, comprising all the infantry and four troops of cavalry, to move along the Yellowstone to the Big Horn and then sOuthward along that stream, closing in on the redskins from the north, and the other, consisting of the Seventh cavalry, led by Custer to move s9pthward along the Rose bud until he struck the Indian trail
