A MONTANA COLD STRIKE.
Exceedingly Rich Placer Mines Said to
Have Been Discovered.

Have Been Discovered.
MILES CITY, May 5.-There is great
excitement here over the reported dis
covery of very rich placer diggings.
The discovery of the placers was made
by "squawman" known as "Cayuse
Alex" who has been working for the
Home Land & Cattle company for some
years as a COW puncher. About six
weeks ago Alex saddled up his horse
and, taking pack outfit, struck out in
the direction of Big Dry. He had told
several of the other hands that he knew
of rich placer ground and the talk FOL-
lowing his departure resulted in his be.
ing followed by some of them.
Two weeks ago they found him at
work taking out dust on Box creek, a
stream six or seven miles long, which
empties into the Big Dry about twenty
miles above the mouth of the latter,
locates the gold fields in Dawson
county, nearly 100 miles due north of
Miles City. So favorably were they i'm
pressed with the ground, which it is
asserted showed gold from the grass
roots down, that they made twenty-one
locations, the notices of which we're
sent to Glendive for record. Alex then
told them how he came to find the dig
gings, and this was the substance of his
story:
Several years ago another squawman,
whose name could not be ascertained,
learned from the Indians through his
squaw of the existence of gold. He
went to the scene and took cut about
$1,000 in coarse dust, with which he
went to Fort Peck, where he went on a
lengthy spree, which terminated in his
death. Through his squaw 'Cayuse
Alex" heard the story, but he could
never find the old workings until this
spring. The story of the discovery
sounds "fishy" to the ordinary mortal,
the only known fact in connection with
it being that the notices of location
nave been filed at G.endive. Several
parties left here to investigate tie dig
gings and In about a week all the details
can be given.

Kelly's Industrial Army Is Becoming
D.sheartened.
DIES MONIES, May 4.-Kelly's indus
trials are disheartened. At breakfast
time the commissary officers reported
1000 loaves of bread on hand, but
scarcely enough meat and coffee to sup
ply the officers mess. Kelly drew on
the treasury for money to buy coffee
and meat. Gov. Jackson is endeavoring
to secure cheap rate to the river, but
is not confident of success. To carry
the men to the Mississippi at full fare
will cost $4,000, and the railroads will
accept nothing less. 1t is the general
impression that Kelly will be starved
out and that the army will dwindle
down to corporal's guard.

"a PLEASANT EVENT.
Tho Surprise Party rendered Rev. Or. ant

The Surprise Party rendered Row. Dr.. and
SIrs. II. Rush Swope.
One of the most notable social events
of the season occurred last evening at
the st. Matthews church rectory. The
occasion was the twentieth anniversary
of the marriage of Rev. DR.. and Mrs. R.
Rush Swope, and was in the nature OF a
surprise party to the two. Unlike other
s~o-called surprise parties. this was n
in fact as we'll as in name. At O'Clock,
when the friends of DR.. and Mrs. Swope
began to arrive at the rectory the two
were absent, being out at a dinner with
friends, Consequently when they ar
rived an hour later and found their
cosy home lighted from top to bottom
and filled with members of DR.. Swope's
congregation, friends outside his own
congregation, ministers of the gospel
and others, both were in truth greatly
and pleasantly surprised.
The evening was pleasantly passed
by the large number present, and DR.:
and Mrs. Swope were the recipients OF
well wishes from every side. n al
fair was started by the ladies OF the
congregation, and they were aided BY
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew. The
presents given were very fine, and in
cluded a large collection of fine cut
glass, a large u intended for the, par
Tor floor and a very handsome set OF
parlor furniture. The refreshments
were served by Mrs. Ziegenfelder durz
the evening.

WAY OLD wooLLY DIED.
Killed by Having 10 Listen 10 Daily Dime
Museum Lectures.


He was just an ordinary, everyday
colt, and an ordinary, everyday young
horse. His master had neither time
nor inclination 30 give much attention
TO the horses toilet. Nevertheless, a
strange thing happened. His hair, day
after day and month after month, grew
more and more curly until finally 'old
Woolly" became one Of the features of
the town.
I'll give you two hundred dollars
FOR your horse, said stranger one
day.
You can have him" was the reply
as that was about twice his real value
The stranger was from a dime mu-
scum, and Old Woolly's hard work was
over. The rest suited him well enough,
but amid the din of street noises and
the footing of band, Old Woolly
listened daily TO talk like this:
Here, gentlemen, is a most marvel
GUS freak of nature. Our agents dis
covered him in the mines of Siberia.

gion, was deprived of the light of day
for years. BY some curious process,
which has puzzled the most distin-
guished veterinary surgeons of both
continents, hts hair began to curl. The
hair became woolly in its texture en-
tirely BY natural processes. Gentle
men, he is the only one OF his kind.
Poor Old Woolly had 20 endure this
day after day. lie lost his spirits and
began 10 grow i'll. The hot, sitting air
of the museum aggravated his illness.
until one day, as the Snowman was de-
hvering his speech to the gaping crowd,
Old Woolly quietly lay down and
breathed his LAST Youths Companion.
