The sheep men in the Bear Paw
mountains are protiting by the severe
lesson of last winter and are putting up
immense quantities Of hay. Last fall
the amount put up was sufficient for or
binary winters, but the exceptional Sc
verify caused a shortage and loss of
sheep in consequence. This summer
every coulee is being moved for hay,
and the number of stacks along every
stream indicates a far greater supply
this year than ever.-River Press.
The business men of Butte held a

A resident of the North Fork country
called at the Columbian office in Col
umbia Falls, to say that a large band Of
Canadian Indians are killing moose, elk
and deer in that country contrary to

from the officers. The only way is for
settlers to take their Winchester's and
run the reds across the line. The In
dians have a letter from John MELON
aid, agent at Morleyville, n. w. T., say
ing they are GOOD Indians" etc.

Friday morning the prisoners in the
Billings Jail attempted a Jail delivery.
The lock was sawed off one cage in which
six prisoners were confined and they had
got into the corridor and nearly COM
pleted a hole through the outer brick
wall. The lock on another cage was
nearly sawed off. One Of the sheriff's
horses had broken loose in a stable near
by and it is thought the noise made by
the horse stamping around IN the stable
deferred the prisoner from completing
their escape. All the prisoners were
found in their cells in the morning.
