HARD TACKLE.
An Adamant Curiosity In the Form of a
Loaf of Bread.


Missoula, March 24-"Buck" Robert
son, who came in from Iron Mountain
last night for medical treatment,
brought with him a valuable contribu-
ton to Bob Fosters mineral cabinet.
II is brick of peculiar appearance, re-
sembling a cross between amalgam and
rose quartz. Nobody could tell what
II is unless the inscription upon II was
read. This inscription is not written
but is carved with a chisel and reads
as follows:
Banner Loaf. Made by George
Wood in oregon gulch, 999 proof. Value
$1,000. Tested by hydraulic pressure,
10000 pounds"
On one end is carved: solid silver
nugget" on the other end is: God
help the old people"
The story of the brick, as told by Mr.
Robertson, is that he and some friends
took a trip up oregon gulch last week
to see Mr.. Wood. When they reached
his cabin nobody was in sight nor
could they find anybody. At length
they entered the cabin and, being hun
ghy. decided to help themselves. They
found nothing but six loaves Of bread
like the one which is described above.
They tried to cut one: they tried to
break IL; they tried to crush il: they
tried to shatter ii with dynamite.
Nothing affected il. So one loaf was
brought to town as a curiosity.

Little Nathan SchlOSSburg Probably
Fatally Wounded.
TWAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
The Boys Curiosity Leads Him
Into Trouble-The Community
Startled by the Sad News
Shot In the Side.

Missoula, March 24.-Nathan Schloss-
burg, the 9-year-old son Of ID. Schloss-
burg, was accidentally shot at the
home of his uncle, Morris Schlossburg,
on East Front street at $50 o'clock
this evening, and the wound may prove
fatal. Paul Whitelaw. 16 years old, a
brother of Mrs. Schlossburg, had been
left in charge of the house by his sister
and was caring for the infant child of
Mrs. Schlossburg. Little Nathan was
with him. Mrs. Schlossburg had gone
down TO her husbands store to come
home with him and expected to be back
in few minutes Soon after she left
neighbors heard a shot and those who
came to doors and windows saw Paul
Whitelaw running across the street
with little Nathan in his arms. He
bore him to the residence of A. l.. Stone,
nearly opposite, and rushed into the
house laying the lad on the floor and
saying to Mrs. Stone: II have shot
him." Then he ran back home. Coun-
ty Attorney Dixon lives next door to
the Schlossburg house and was soon on
the scene. William Foster came to
Mrs. Stones aid and summoned other
assistance.
officer Larson and DIR. Hanson ar
rived in a few minutes and the wound
ed boy was placed on stretcher and
bandaged. AS soon as possible he was
taken to the Sisters hospital.
Paul Whitelaw tells the following
story of the shooting: Il was taking
care of Nathan and the baby when Ma
than opened a drawer in a desk and
drew out a revolver / was afraid to
let him have it. and tired to take 1t
from him. In doing this, the gun went
off and shot Nathan" Paurs hand has
a flesh wound, as IL the hand had been
near the muzzle of the gun when dis
charged. Neighbors came in to care for
Schlossburg.
Morris Schlossburg was seen by
Standard reporter soon after the shoot
ing and was amazed when the reporter
told him. He said that he did not know
about the revolver in the house. Her
man Whitelaw, a brother of Paul, said
the gun was one that he had used when
he used to sleep in Schlossburg's store.
Since then II has ben at the house, but
he thought all the loads had been
drawn. Examination shows that the
gun is a 3S-caliber Smith q Wesson,
and that there was one cartridge in the
cylinder. The gun is a double-action,
and in pulling II, Paul probably touch
ed the trigger.

Horse Plains CattI.men.

Missoula, March 24.-The cattlemen of
the Horse Plains country have come to
the conclusion that their range troubles
are not the result of any hostilities on the
part OF Major Carter OF the reservation
as they at first assumed. but have con-
cluded TO adopt a new method to adjust
their grievances. The first assump-
ton was that the agent was responsible
for the somewhat arbitrary methods OF
r. NJ. Cary, whose case is now before the
United States court. but investigation has
shown that II Mr.. Cary was, as he claim
ed. a special government agent. Major
Carter was not responsible for his acts
and If he was an impostor Major Carter
was as much deceived by him as were the
caff1emen

Tie Fat Old Negroes was Not Taking ANY
Risks While There Was a Man Around.
From the Chicago Tribune.
An aged negress, weighing nearly 200
pounds, a small white man and a Texas
steer created considerable fun and little
excitement yesterday afternoon at the
stockyards.
The negress, with a red nubia over her
head, was ambling slowly toward the
bank building, when suddenly some per-
son raised a cry that wild steer was
loose
A moment later a big-horned fellow
with a crowd of horsemen after him,
plunged west on the thoroughfare toward
Halstead street.
All who could made a plunge for the
high fence, but the negress could not
climb and the steer seemed to have her
in his mind, as he was cavorting toward
her.
To climb the fence was for her physi-
cal impossibility, while the chances of be-
ing thrown over it were good
Just then a little man ran down the
sidewalk. AS he reached the colored wo-
man she seized him by the shoulder and
turned his face toward the steer.
The big animal halted and looked at the
pair. AS the steer turned so did the wo-
man turn the little man. who kicked to
get free. Just what made the steer take
water no person knows. but after looking
for a moment he walked away and was
soon after driven into a pen.
Once sure she was free from danger, the
colored woman released her hold on the
little man and walked away. AS she
climbed on the walk in front of the bank
she said to the crowd: Tell you what
boss, / was determined that man would
die first"

Missoula. March 2L-Half way up the
hill north of the city. just above the path
that leads past the old owens beer gar
den. is a rock that attracts the attention
of all who happen to notice IL. There is
nothing very remarkable in the appear
ance of the rock itself. 1t is a fragment
of the brown country rock. worn by
weather and stained by time. rough and
jagged. A closer examination than a mere
casual glance, however. will reveal paint
ed upon the upper surface of the rock the
following inscription: April q, 1855
What?" Above this is the letter r." and
another letter which may have been
either E or L. The whole inscription is
distinct except this one letter. and there
has been considerable speculation as to
what the writing means.

Long Standing Rate Differences Be-
tween Here and Portland to
Be Adjusted.

In furtherance of the announced pur-
pose of the Southern Pacific Company and
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany TO patch up their rate war on freight
between here and Portland, B. Campbell,
traffic manager of the latter company, ar
rived here yesterday from Portland. He
was accompanied by w. III. Hurlburt,
general passenger agent OF the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company.
Mr.. Campbell spent the day at the local
offices of the company, looking into the
details of the questions which are likely to
arise before an adjustment is effected AS
soon as he has the local situation we'll in
hand ii is understood he will have con-
ference with J. c. Stubs. traffic manager
Of the Southern Pacific Company.
In view of the fact that for more than
three years both companies have suffered
great loss in the rate war they have waeed
against each other 1t is believed that an
early settlement of the existing differ
ences will result.
At present the average freight rate be-
tween here and Portland is 81 per ton.
Before the present difficulty arose the
rates averaged from 50 so to SIS ton. 1t
is not expected that rates will be restored
TO anything like these figures, but some
material advance will follow the declara-
tion of peace.
