groves Of feathered bamboo and thick,
spreading bauyans The walls are of
clay and wood, and the interior of the
house consists OF one main room ex-

in the corners for sleeping rooms.
There is sliding window in the roof
made out of oyster shells arranged in
rows. while the side windows are mere

The floor is bare earth, where at

UNKNowN MILLIONS ADRIFr.
Derelict Vessels That Are Floating About
In the North Atlantic.

Derelict Vessels That Are Floating About
In the North Atlantic.
Two million dollars worth of ocean
derelicts are now drifting about in the
north Atlantic ocean in the direct path
of the fast ocean steamships carrying
cargoes of human freight to and from
Europe. The fact that these vessels
are lumber laden. which cargo keeps
them afioat means a greater danger
than if they were hopeless and worn
out bulls. There are many wrecks
along the Jersey coast especially in
the vicinity Of Cape HenIopen and
Cape Henry. They are drifting with
the current and gulf stream to the
northward and will soon be in the path
of the ocean greyhounds. Not single
derelict has been towed into port for
year.
The positions Of these derelicts have
been accurately determined continues
the Philadelphia Record. Their car
goes are valuable. that of the schoon-
er Wyer G. Sargent being the best
Mexican mahogany. This vessel was
seen and boarded by the officers and
crew of the schoolship Saratoga on
her last voyage across the Atlantic,
and would prove a rich catch for any
prize crew that could bring her iato
port.
The drifts of these derellcts have
been most remarkable, the Sargent
having been reported BY nearly every
vessel arriving in port She was
abandoned on March 81. 1891. and
was last reported on September 20.
In 125 days she made l. goo miles.
Originally left to her fate by her crew
in latitude 80 longitude "a. 05, she
was seen again on April 9, 1891. In
these nine days she drifted 50 miles in
an east-northeasterly direction. She
was seen for the second time on April
IL. having been blown south-south-
easterly 20 miles Twenty-Five days
passed, and she was fallen in with for
the third time on May !. She soon
caught the sgulf stream. which on an
average kept her speed at the rate Of
80 81 miles per day which is very
lively drifting.
The other wreck which mariners
desire to avoid is the Norwegian bark
Progress. Like the Sargent she Is
timber laden. She was abandoned
waterlogged and sinking. After being
deserted she travelled cast l, 200 miles
when she was seen for the first time.

II Is Carried On in Florida In Wanton
and Cruel Way.

The rush OF tourists to Florida in
creases every winter and SO much
shooting every man nearly takes his
gun is rapidly diminishing the game
ell through the country.
The time was, and only few years
ago. when every bay and lagoon was
teeming with birds. but when the
fashion demanded that every woman's
bonnet should be decorated with some
kind of a bird or its feathers men
were sent to Florida to procure them,
and one expedition returned, it is said,
with 100, 900 bird-skins, shot during
the winter. Such destruction is now
felt and although the authorities have
now prohibited the slaughter, it is like
locking the stable after the horse is
stolen.
On the Apalachicola river wild tur-
keys and ducks are shot wantonly
from the decks OF the steamboats,, and
alligators all along the banks come in
for a fusilade from the rifles of the
passengers On my recent trip on
this river / saw numbers of turkeys
shot as they were running along the
banks, that were Of course wasted as
the boat could not stop to pick them
up; and every flock Of ducks that rose
was fred into killing or manning
more or less of them. Not only on
the ground Of wanton cruelty should
/ the owners OF these boats prohibit the
use Of fire. arms, but it is great an
noyance to many passengers to have
rifles and shotguns banging away
around them. 10 say nothing Of the
danger to life from the careless use o.
guns by mere boys. as some OF then
were. 1t is a theme the Forest anC
Stream might properly bring to th'

THE FORGOTTEN CITY.

Hidden from the sky and sunshine,
Circled in by purple mountains,
Covered DER by grass and cactus,
Temples old aud ruined columns.
Vain are titles, power and glory,

And the laurel leaf aud ivy
ON the brow OF bards and sages,
Loneliness and desolation
Only now Cypress the mind;
And the yalor Of nation
Leaves a skeleton behind.

The prisoners at Fort Mckinney are
anxious to be taken to Cheyenne under
military escort, as they are afraid that if
they are not, they will not get out of
northwestern Wyoming alive.
A dispatch from Douglass, Wyoming,
OF the 18th gives the following addition
ial particulars: The wires in this Sec
ton OF the country have been cut for
two days and it is not known positively
that Col. Van Horne and three troops
of cavalry have left Fort Mckinney for
Douglass with the three captured cattle
men. 1t is known, however, that the
road from Fort Mckinney to Douglass is
plcketed by at least 600 rustlers, and the
action OF the latter in cutting the wires
is looked upon as almost certain evidence
that they are determined to attack the
cavalrymen and take their prisoners at
no matter what cost. If Col. Van Horne
has left Fort Mckinney the feeling here
is that he has been attacked. He is a
most determined officer, and it has been
concluded that he will not give up
his prisoners without a fight. The
road leading from Fort Mckinney to
Douglass, $50 miles long, is full of dan
ger, winding through the bad lands and
numberless opportunities for

Horse Thieves CAPTURED

w. J. Anderson of this city, Sim
Roberts OF Big Timber and Albert Cook
of Melville are back from Wyoming
where they captured two horse thieves
and recovered a stallion that had been
stolen from Thos. Kent. The thieves,
whose names are Haley and Cassiday,
had stolen seven head of horses from
the Bull Cattle company and Mr.. Kent's
stallion and headed for Wyoming
with them. Anderson and Roberts took
the train and on reaching Montpelier
learned that the thieves were at Star
Valley, Wyoming, which Is about fifty
five miles from Montpelier and is
reached by trail across the mountains
from the latter place. On their way
across the mountains the two men were
joined by Cook and on reaching Star
Valley they soon located the men and
ordered them to throw up their hands.
Cassidy remarked, "No I'll be id if
[ do," at the same instant drawing a
gun from beneath pair of overalls he
was wearing over his trousers.
Quick as flash Cook, who stood near
Cassidy with gun pointing at his head,
grabbed the rustler's weapon and a
struggle ensued in which Cook dis
armed his man without being COM
PEELED to kill him. Haley, it seems, was
more docile and submitted without
much of a struggle. During the scuffle
for possession of the gun four shots
were fred by the cattlemen, but none
took effect in anybody's carcass.
After being secured, Cassidy remarked
that he preferred death to capture,
which is proof that had the opportunity
offered he would have resisted to the
death. It is stated that charges more
serious than that of rustling cattle and
horses are pending against him in
Wyoming.

The PenrOse Insurance.

Butte Miner: In department l., dis
trict court, Judge Mediation, Saturday
the call of the calendar was continued
and number of cases set for trial dur
ing the term. Several ex parte ques
tions were argued and others were con-
tinued until later dates. Since the mur-
der of w. ]. Penrose the Mutual Insur-
ance company, in which deceased held
an accident policy for $1,000, have by
various excuses and subterfuges delayed
payment of the same to the widow with
the evident inten6 of beating her out of
it entirely.
Failing to make the company comply
with the terms of the contract Mrs. Pen
rose, a few weeks ago, entered suit in the
district court to enforce the payment of
the policy. With very vivid recollec-
tion of the recent judgment of Butte
fury in a similar case against it, the
Pacific Mutual concluded to adopt STRAIT
egy and by getting change Of venue to
a United States court delay action as
long as possible, for if the case gets into
the federal courts there is no telling
when it will be determined.
Yesterday the company by it's attor-
neys, Forbis & Forbis, filed a petition in
the district court asking for the change.
The petition sets forth that the sum in
volved in the suit is over $1,000, being
1925, and that the controversy is be-
tween residents of two different states
the plaintiff residing in Montana and
the defendant in California. The peti-
toner offers good and sufficient bond
that it will on the first day of the next
term of the United States circuit court
enter copy of the record in the case
and pay all costs that may be awarded
by said circuit court if said court shall
hold that the said suit was wrongfully
or improperly removed thereto.
The petitioner prays this court to pro-
iced no further herein and to accept
said surety and bond and cause the rec
'rds herein to be removed into said cir
'uit court of the United States for the
Ninth circuit, district of Montana.
The sureties on the bond are General
Charles S. Warren and Meyer GEM
)erger.
