A new disease is creating havoc with
the horses on the Crow reserve. We
learn from 5. Il. Roberts that horses that
are apparently in fine condition will sud-
denly be seized with a fit, very much re-
sembling loco, and after a few minutes
of staggering. running and trembling,
die. With the many losses from thieves
AMI disease during the last few years
horse raising, or even horse keeping, has
not been a very profitable business on
the Crow reservc.-Billings Times.
No occasion exists for alarm regarding
the welfare of sheep, says a well known
f1ockmaster, to whom the question was
put during the present cold snap. 1t is
only necessary to have plenty Of feed,
and to know when and how to feed it.
A::good hay stack is better than all the
snow plows on top of the ground, except
that following the pillow gives the sheep
needed exercise and keeps them in a
healthy condition. Most of the neigh
boring t1ockmasters are we'll provided for

William Warner, aged about 60 years,
died at the milk ranch on the Burling-
ton road yesterday morning. He had
been i'll only a short time. Mr.. Warner
was an old-timc Montanian. having come
to the then territory about twenty-eight
years ago. and was respected by all who
knew him. By profession he was a pros
pector, which vocation he followed with
answering devotion from the time he
first entered the confines of Montana
until the time of his death. believing
that some day he would realize the aim
of his life that of striking it rich.

A small number of fresh young kids
who run the ranch at home and attempt
it abroad, were mistaken in their plan of
action Tuesday night when they de-
manded hush money from the wedding
guests az Clip. Cothron's marriage. The
men folks were ON to the little racket
and had prepared a shot gun for the oc-
casion which was loaded with bacon
rind and salt. As soon as the pans were
tuned up some one turned the gun loose
in the ranks of the kids and there never
was such a stampede. They came back
again, however, and then the gay fellows
at the wedding chased them down and
rolled them in the snow. not releasing
them until each had been thoroughly
doused and a handful Of snow put down
their ccks.-Billings Gazette.
II is given out that several grading
outfits are en- route to Hamilton, in the
Bitter Root valley, for the purpose of be
ginning the work on the Anaconda and
Bitter Root railroad. This will be the
greatest thing thar could happen to An
acOnda and the Bitter Root valley if
true. as the products of that beautiful
valley will have a good market, which
will be appreciated by the Anaconda
people. aside from the extensive lumber
interests. This stroke of enterprise,
which will benefit Deer Lodge county
more than n can imagine, is due en-
tirely to the management and good judg-
ment of Marcus DAILY, Esq.-Silver State.
