THEY HAV \ BULLDOG.
Ho Is a Dandy and tho Pride of tn
Ranch.

Ho Is a Dandy and tho Pride OF the
Ranch.
MIssoULA, March 1.-The proprietors
of the Del Norto ranch have a bulldog.
He is a dandy and the pride of the ranch.
Early yesterday morning-at about
o'clock-Manager Kroonc of the ranch
was aroused by fearful yelping and XII
yi-ing in the corral back of his residence.
Ho jumped from his bed and rushed to
The window, where he thought he saw his
bulldog engaged In a fight with a big black
Newfoundland. Wnle he was watching
the combatants separated and the bull
dog retired to the porch. Mr. Kroone re-
tired to his bed and fell asleep TO dream
of hunting wild animals IN forest and
jungle. When daylight came, like the
thrifty husbandman that no is, Mr..
Kroone arose and hied himself TO tho sta-
bic.
As no stepped upon tho porch. no was
amazed to see the bull dog, the pride of
the ranch, in a comatose state. with half
of his neck chcwed and torn off. What
ever remedies were at hand were
promptly applied and the dog recovered
in a partial degree but is still decidedly
the worse for wear. Messrs. Ogden and
Ranft have been at a loss to know who
VI NidN hlu AHo NOth iOE Aho pup iiN -
a wreck and is not worth a cent, whereas
two weeks ago he was a magnificent speci-
men of what bull dog should be.
This morning the employees of tho Hig-
gins stables, which adjoins tho Del Aorte
ranch, were aroused in a manner similar
TO that in which Mr.. Kroone's slumbers
had been disturbed. They, as had Mr..
kroone, rushed 10 investigate and
discovered that their dogs had freed a
half-grown black bear just be-
low the stables, and were making
merry music over their capture. Tue men
had no gun and found that bruln wouldn't
be captured by any other means, so they
returned to the stables. The dogs all fol-
lowed them except ono-a bulldog-that
remained at the foot of tho tree, looking
wistfully at the bear. The men foolishly
called the dog away and the bear slid
down the tree and vamoosed the ranch.
A rider was at once dispatched to town
for n gun and some hands and at noon,
Frank Higgins and a party left for tho
pursuit of bruin. They were all well
mounted and had a couple of trailing
hounds TO aid in locating the bear.
When the hunters reached the scene of
the bears escape, the dogs were put on
the trail but no bear could DO found as
the bear had too much of a start and a
furry of snow had spoiled the trail. The
hunting party returned this evening and
did not have bear steaks for supper

HcLeod's Case ID SIN ID and the Jury
Relieved ir IN Duty.

McLcods Case ID SIN ID and the Jury
Relieved ir IN Duty.
MIssoULA, March 2.-As was expected,
when the district court convened this
morning County Attorney Dixon moved
todIsmiss the two charges pending against
Angus Mcleod, saying that public septi-
ment in the community is so strong in
favor of Mcleod that it would be impos-
sIble to secure conviction. The first
charge against Mcleod was an unmen-
tionable crime, of which nobody who knew
him believed him guilty. 1t was not pre-
ferred until after the stable fire, and was
alleged TO have been committed nearly
two years ago. The general opinion has
been that the charge was preferred with
the intention of using il as a whip to force
Mcleod to swear falsely in the Johnson
arson case. Mcleod stool firm, however,
and refused to have anything to do with
the job. A. one time a proposition was
made to him to have this horrible charge
dismissed If he would testify against
Johnson. He replied that he knew
nothing about the fire and
could say nothing that would affect the
case. The witness agains. him in this
case was one of the witnesses for the
state IN the arson case, whose testimony
was proven 10 ne ldise duu
acter was impeacned. All through this
ordeal Mcleod has conducte himself
like a man and has won the admiration of
the friends who have shared the belief of
his innocence.
The other charge against Mcleod was
identical with that against Johnson, arson
in the first degree. The sentiment of the
C immunity has always been in sympathy
with Johnson aud Mcleod aud their vim
dication in the trial which closed last
niyht, after one of tho btterest legal
fights in the history of the district court,
is a source of satisfaction on every hand.
After the dismissal of the McLeo cases
Judge Woody dismissed the jury for the
term and the day was spent in hearing
motions and dcmurrers and in minor
civil cases. One important decision was
rendered this afternoon, when Judge
Woody decided to override the demurrer
entered by the defendant in the case of
the Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Science VS.. &. L. Reardon. The demurrer,
which was sustained by Judge Woody at
the last term of court, was entered by
Colonel Marshall and was to the effect
that the plaintiff had not shown that it
had complied with the statute governing
foreign corporations doing business in
Montana.
To- lay j. Parker Veazie OF Great Falls
appeared and showed that the Academy
of Natural Science had complied with the
statute in question and the defendants
demurrer was overruled. The defendant
will now have to prepare his answer.
The libel case of Willis VS.. Clark will
not come up at this term of court and it is
probable that it will not be brought to
trial at all.
