BELONGS TO THE SCHOOLS.

The Land Commissioner Decides Against
the Mineral Claims on Section SO.
The Helena land Office has been no.
titled by the acting commissioners that
the mineral entry Of the northwest ID
section 36, township 81 north, range 3
east, made on August 4, 1888, by Paris
Gibson, H. P. Role and Frank B. Wilcox
of Great Falls, is held for cancellation on
the motion Of Attorney General Haskell.
The commissioner holds that the land
passed to the state of Montana upon it's
admission into the union, being land re-
served to the state for school purposes.
This is a part of GAO acres, which lies at
the north end of the Fifteenth street
bridge and which has been in dispute
for some time. The claimants tried to
show that it was more valuable for a
stone quarry than for agricultural pur-
peses. The land in question is now very
valuable for building purposes, as it ls 80
close to the heart Of the city. The deci-
sion OF the commissioner secures this
tract for the use Of the public school
fund, unless the claimants should appeal
to the secretary of ths interior. Mise
Ella Knowles represented the state be-
fore the land commissioner at WASH
ington.

A CHILD DROW NED

In an Old Abandoned Well at Collins
Ranch in Ming Coules.
Last Saturday evening the adopted
boy Of P. G. Putnam, the contractor, a
little fellow about 3 years Of age, was
drowned in an old abandoned we'll on
the ranch of T. B. Collins at Ming
Coulee. The child was visiting with his
step.mother at the ranch, and a few days
before the question Of covering up the
we'll, lest the child should tumble in, was
discussed. The we'll had been filled up
once. but the dirt settling down had left
a hole which contained about five or six
inches of water, and after making an
examination it was thought that there
was no danger, as there was not enough
water to drown the child even il he did
fall in. The event proved this theory to
be wrong. Saturday evening about Z
p. M. tho child was missed and a search
resulted in finding the body of the child
in the old we'll, where it had fallen in,
and, Notwithstanding the shallow water,
drowned. The body was brought to
town and the funeral was held from the
Catholic church at 5 p. m Sunday. The
foster parents, who had become very
much attached to the child, are sorely
grieved over their loss, and Of course
every one connected with the sad affair
10 now consumed with regret that the
| old we'll was not covered up as first in
| tended.

THE PARK THEATRE AFFAIR.

Robert Richter and Louis Dahn Arrested
Charged With Being the AssaIlants.
Marshal Pontet arrested Robert
Richter and Louis Dahn, Sunday morn
ing, as being the two men who we're in
the box at the Park theatre when VIM.
Clough vas thrown out, sustaining such
injuries as may yet prove fatal. The
warrant on which they we're arrested
charged them with assault with intent
to do great bodily harm. They admit
that they we're in the box at the time
Clough came in. They say that he
threatened to assault them, and picked
up a chair to strike Richter over the
head, whereupon the latter seized the
chair, and in the scufie Clough lost his
balance and fell out Of the box,
Some Of the witnesses to the affair,
however, tell a very different story, and
claim to have seen one Of the men in the
box take hold Of Clough's legs as he
was hanging over the edge Of the box,
and throw him over. Richter and Dahn
were taken before Judge Fitzgerald yes
terday and gave bail in the sum OF 81, O00
with Frank Rothenflush and Joseph
Horn as sureties for their appearance
Saturday next for examination. Largent
e. Huntoon appeared as their attorneys.
DR.. Brady states that Coughs skull is
fractured for about an inch and a-half
on the side of his head, where it came in
contact with the back Of a chair, as he
came down from the balcony head first.
Had he not struck this chair, he prob.
| ably would have broken his neck. AS it
is, it is by no means certain that be will
recover, although he is getting along very
nicely 80 far. The final result depends
on the results of the inflammation, which
is just commencing.
Richter and Dahn, the two defendants
in the case, are butchers in a Central
avenue shop.

THE CATTLE SHIPPING SEASON
One Hundred and Thirty Cars Will
Be Loaded on Thursday and
Friday.
Montana Cattle Will Bring a Good
Price This Year-Sheep and
Wool Market.

The cattle shipments along the line Of
the Montana Central and Great North
ern are just commencing. Last year the
Montana Central did a very heavy cattle
business along it's line. An old cattle
man who keeps we'll posted on such
matters stated to a TRIBUNE reporter
the other day that the shipments this
year would probably not be quite 30
heavy. He based his opinion on the
fact that there we're not so many cattle
in the country this year and the finan-
cial pressure, which caused cattlemen
to realize on everything which would
sell last year, is not 30 great this season.
However there are 30 many elements
that enter into such a computation, the
market price, the number OF cattle driv-
en- in, ETC., that any opinion must be
something in the nature Of a guess. So
far the indications are that there will be
a good market for first quality
cattle, and the range cattle of Montana
are said to be in even better condition
this year than last. The top price real
lied this season was obtained last week
by Flowerree & Lowry who got $4.Oj
and S4.1O for a few topped out. Since
then the market has declined.
The heavy shipments this year on the
Montana will come from Malta
Big Sandy and Baltic. Last year Fort
Benton shipped 48O cars of stock, but
this year it will not ship so many. The
shipments this week 30 far az known uI
to date will be as follows:
At Malta 20 cars for Prouty have beer
ordered and will be loaded on the 10TH
inst.
At Big Sandy twenty cars are ordered
for Hunter, twenty for Brewster, ano
fifty for Allerton g. spencer. The two
first firms load on the 10th inst. and the
last named on the 10th or 18th.
At Baltic twenty cars are ordered FOL
Floweree & Lowry, who will load on TIT
18th.
There are no sheep being shipped al
yet, the market being very poor. Re
ports from the Chicago markets show
that $3.50 is about the top notch fol
Montana sheep. AS it costs about I;
cents to get a sheep into the Chicago
market, there is little inducement for thu
sheepman to ship at present. Later il
the season when the hot weather is ovel
it is expected that the sheep marke
will stand shipment better, reaching thu
market in better condition.
The wool market continues strong
The highest prices paid for wool on thu
Northern Pacific this season was givel
at Billings Monday by j. II. Woods, rep
resenting the wool firm OF Weston Whit
man & Co. Of Boston, who purchased tn
Cruise & Kent clip Of about 1,25O sacks
nearly 100000 pounds, at l2 cents. Thi
is the largest clip ever shipped from
Montana.
