Badger-DOg.

At the foot Of the middle butte
of the Sweet Grass Hills lives q
miner named Byron Banner. He
is practically a recluse, seldom as
sociating with any neighbors, or
even talking to them. He works
his claim all alone and no one
knows whether he is rich or poor.
Like most recluses he has his pet
but Banners pet is SO uncommon,
even unnatural, that it deserves to
be put on record. This pet is a
badger-dog The animal is small
and has the feet and legs of a bad
ger while the body resembles a dog.
It's claws have to be trimmed
every few months, as they grow
out of all proportion to the foot.
When it walks it has the peculiar
waddle of the badger. Its bark is
somewhat similar TO that OF a lap
dog. 1t will bite savagely when
leased, but is otherwise perfectly
docile.
A cross between a wolf or coyote
and a dog is not uncommon, nor is
it SO much of a freak, since they
belong to the INT family. But {
cross between different families,
as the dog and badger, is some.
thing for naturalists and evolution
lists to think about. The animal ii
Banners possession is about two
years old and has been seer by thu
writer's informant, Jas. Ralph ane
several otner reputable men.

imprisonment for Life.

The case of the State of Montana
VS.. John Tenney, charged with
numbering George Legacy at Du-
puyer on the 28th of last July,
occupied the attention of the dis
trict court at Choteau the first
three days of this week. Consid-
cradle time was consumed IN Sc
curing a jury, nearly all persons
summoned having formed an
opinion as to the defendants
guilt. The jury consisted of the
following men: J. W. Lehr, J. G..
Hopkinson, A. Fcllers, Nat Collins,
W. Miller, H. A Howe, J. Shields,
Geo. Reese, H. Crossen, H. S.
Wright, Geo. Bourman and L.
Miller.
The evidence against Tcnuey was
very direct and positive, and was
practically the same as presented
at the coroner's inquest and the
preliminary examination held in
this city at the time Of the shoot
ing, a report Of which appeared il
these columns.
The defense vas ably conducted
by Attorneys Erickson and Bair.
of Cho:cau. They admitted the
shooting of Legacy, but claimed
that the beating Tenpey had re-
ceived on the head a few weeks
previous, at the hands of one Ed
Shea, had left hi.h in such a con
dition that he was not cntirel,
responsible for his actions.
The jury was out about two
hours and brought IN u verdict o
murder in the second degree anC
fixed the sentence at life imprison
ment.

This morning. when a member Of
the Fox family went to call him for
breakfast. about 6 O'Clock, his room
was found vacant He had mysteri-
ously disappeared some time during
the night. leaving no word behind.
According to Schlatter's past
statements he was subject to the
orders of 1.-The Father" Some of
his believers say he was told last
night to arise and go forth. Mr..
Fox later came before the crowd of
5000 people that had been assem-.
bling since 3 a. IN. and told them
the startling news. The crowd was
astounded and was disposed at first
to disbelieye the story, some beir g
inclined to blame MIR. Fox.
To day Schlatter was to appear
before the United States Commits
siouer as a witness against the
'.blessed' handkerchief fakirs, and
the fear of becoming entangled in the
court proceedings is said to be the
real reason for the disappearance of
the man.
It was observed yesterday that he
was growing restless under the il.

crowds. The craze had grown be-
yond his power to control and he
feared the denouement.
