The sudden change in the weather yester-

of long and severe winter. The Indians
who are roaming about the state say it will
be, and from the way they are laying in
game in the Flathead country and tho
northern part of the state, it seems that
they anticipate an enforced seclusion from
the time snow fiIes until the spring thaw.
Cattlemen generally are taking everv pre-.
