MON TANA'S CATTLE
A Source of Big Revenue to the
State Last Year.
LARGE SHIPMENTS MADE
and Shipped Aggregating Value
of Over ss,OOO,O 900.

HELENA, Jan. 21.-Despite the fact
that the last winter was the most dis
astrous the Etockmen have experienced
in many years, the shipments of cattle
from Montana Melted the state not less
than s60OC,O 900 during the large ship
ping season. To the receipt Of this sum
is in great measure due the ability Of
the big banks of the state to resume
and the general support of the financial
institutions of Montana during the
panic The cattle business saved the
country In 1893.
During the shipping season 100000
head were sent to market and $1,000
head delivered to Indian and military
reservations. At $40 head, these cat
tie would aggregate 1874, 900. Seven
teen thousand estrays were reported to
Secretary Preuitt of the Stock Growers
association during the last three years;
$50, 900 cattle have been shipped from
the state, and 142 200 consumed in the
state, the aggregate value of the pro-
duet being over S3O,00o,00
Stock is reported in good condition
for the winter, though the herds have
been cut very close and there are
fewer cattle on the ranges than usual.
The wolf pest is reported to be worse
than ever before this winter. The
most sterenous efforts Of the stockman
have so far been unavailing and the
beasts are multiplying rapidly.

SAND.

I OBSERVED a locomotive in the railroad
L yard one day.
It was waiting in the round-house, where the
locomotives stay;
1t was painting for the journey, it was coaled
and manned,
And it had box the fireman was filing full
OF sand
1t appears that locomotives cannot always
get grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause the
wheels are apt to slip:
And when they reach a slippery spot, their
tactics they command,
And to get grip upon the rail, they sprinkle
it with sand
It's about the way with travel along LIES
slippery track,
If your load is rather heavy and you re al
ways sliding back;
SO, if common locomotive you completely
understand
You'll provide yourself in starting with a
good supply OF sand.
If your track is steep and billy and you have
heavy grade.
And if those who've gone before you have the
rails quite slippery made,
II you ever reach the summit OF the upper
tableland,
You'll find you'll have to do it with liberal
use of sand.
If you strike some rigid weather and discover
to your cost,
That you're liable to slip on a heavy coat
of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action will be
called into demand,
And you'll slip way to the bottom if you
haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on life's
schedule seen,
If there's fire beneath the boiler OF ambition s
strong machine,
And you'll reach II place called Flushtown at
a rate Of speed that's grand,
Ii for all the slippery places you've IA good
supply of sand

The Anaconda company has purchased

This mine is copper producer. There
seems to be no longer any doubt of con-
summation of negotiations between
Hon. w. a. Clark and English capital
lists relative to certain of Mr.. Clarks
mining interests and the properties of
Smith & Kessler, including the Clear
Grit and Banker lodes. The negotia-
lions have been carried to a success full
termination by Mr.. A. H. Wethey.
From very reliable source the Butte
Inter Mountain learns that Smith &
Kessler have sold out their interests
and received the cash. Mr.. Clark has
not sold out, but is a part of the new

cash consideration for an interest in a
group of patented copper and silver
claims and in addition to this the pur-
chasers agree to build smelter. 1t is
said this will be very extensive plant
AS large as the combined capacity of
the four smelters now In operation in
Butte. 1t will be of the latest modern
design and the mechanical part will be
operated by an electric plant.
In addition TO this the various mines

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Awful Mutilation of Beautiful Young

Awful MutiIatfon OF "A Beautiful Young
Girl in Cincinnati.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. CAN evening paper
prints the following special from Gin
cinnati, O.: Captain Grammar, chief of
the Grammar Detective bureau, this city,
has received word from a representa-
tive at Caneville, KY, giving meagre
details of a Whitechapel horror at that
place. A woman Of suspicious charac-
ter named Mortier had in her home a
beautiful daughter of seventeen. It
was admitted that the girl was pure. A
number of her mothers male visitors
attempted her'ruin, but the girl resisted
them, although it was understood her
mother did nothing to protect her. Some
weeks ago she died and was buried. A
few days ago the better class of people
had the remains exhumed, VIXEN it was
found the girls neck was broken, and
her ribs smashed In and her intestines
mutilated. Other indignities to dis
gusting to be described, had been offered
her body. Abe Higgins and the girls
mother are under arrest, and may have
been lynched by this time. The remote
ness of the place accounts for the delay
of the news reaching here.

Experimental Trips Fail to Develop the
speed the Inventor Expected.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 22.-The English To-
connective, James Toleman, has not
proved Its superiority over the Amerl-
can machine. The British engine has
made number of experimental trips
between Chicago and Milwaukee over
the St. Paul road, but has not devel-
oped the speed that was expected by
it, inventor, Frederick w. Windy of
London. 1t was found that with the
Toleman's four cylinders enough steam
could not be generated In its boiler.
The locomotive, therefore, could not
command the necessary power In haul
ing heavy trains, although fair rec
ord was made when running light. The
Toleman is high-pressure engine and
1t Is said Mr.. Windy will convert 1t into
compound engine. When this change
has been made it is believed the Eng
lish locomotive will be capable of per-
forming excellent work.

times and who was found guilty In the
federal court of the murder of John

was made more desperate still by his

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-Several days
ago, while Fred Baur, expert machinist
at the Big Four shops at Brightwood,
was scuffiIng with a fellow workman,
he felt sharp, stinging pain in his
breast, which continued to increase in
intensity. His physicians attributed
the cause to a foreign substance and he
underwent surgical operation, which
uncovered a crochet needle over three
inches long, with the point broken on.
The needle is supposed to have entered
his body while he was very young, over
eighteen years ago. 1t was the first
time that It had ever troubled him and
the hrst that he ever knew of its
presence.

THREE BUILDINGS
Go Up in Smoke-Narrow Escape of
 Inmates of One of Them.

What came near being a horrible affair happened at an early hour yesterday morn. ing, when the residence of Alderman J. J. Moore on Twenty fourth street. between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, caught on fire and his entire family and one or two visitors came near being roasted.
 It was early h the morning when one of the family, sleeping in the rear of the house, was awakened by stiffiing smoke, which was fast filling the room, and in iact the entire house.
 Jumping from the bed in which he slept he gave an alarm that told the other in mates of the danger they were in.
 With great difficulty all were awakened and were gotten from the building, which was by this time flied with fl ames.
 MT. Moore, in rescuing his children, who were all sound asleep, was burned badly on the back of the neck. By the time the last one was gotten from the building it was nearly ready to fall in.
 By this time an alarm had been turned in from box No. 15. The run was a long one and the Northside steamer had to be taken out. After laying 2S00 feet of hose stream of water was gotten, but not enough to do any good, because Alderman More's house had already fallen in, and a large two story building adjoining it had fol- lowed similar fate.
 The flames had become so strong, with stiff wind from the southeast, that still another, the property of MT. Sanders, ' caught fire and before anything could be- done was practically gone up Tn flames. By this time stream of water had been gotten that saved an adjoining house. s,
 The origin of the fire is not known, but 1t is supposed to have started in the kitchen. H
 Mir. Moore's loss on house is S20OO and on furniture $2500, with insurance to the, amount of $2S00.
 The loss on the adjoining two-story va- cant house. for which Mir. w. B. Leedy is agent, is 5000.
 MT. Sanders loss will reach $500, which will make the entire loss or yesterday mornings fire in the neighborh cod of f7300.
