Mountain Lyon.
LYON, Feb. 13.-[Special Correspond
ence]EFollowing are the particulars of
a brave act performed by two children
OF l. A. Hutchins, of the Mountain
Home ranch, at the upper Madison
bridge, three weeks ago to-day: While
the family were at breakfast they heard
the dog barking, and on going to the
door, we're startled by the sight that
met their eyes. Nearly in front of the
house, and upon a point of the hill,
was a monstrous mountain lion walk
ing down the hill in the direction of
the stock corral. The shepherd dog
Immediately attacked the lion, and be-
fore r. K: the youngest son of I. A.
Hutchins, could secure his fathers Win
chester rifle and get good aim, the lion
had retreated over the hill. AS Mr..
Hutchins vas not at home, r. K. and
his sister Lulu,a girl of IA years, mount
ed their horses and wenti in hot pursuit.
Soon the faithful dog had forced the big
brute up a tree. A we'll directed bullet
from the boys rife brought him tum-
bling othe ground. Then a fierce battle
ensued between the dog and lion, as
the first shot was not fatal. Soon four
bullets had penetrated the head of the
animal. The we'll directed fifth did
the fatal work. There lay the pros
trate and ~lifeless form of the fierce
monster, the terror of the neighbour
hood, at the children's feet. The dog
was badly scratched and bitten, and
was very fortunate to escape with his
life, a. the lion had him down in the
snow on several occasions. It vas the
largest ever see in these parts and is
supposed to be the one known as "Big
Foot" the lion which has been feast
ing on the young cattle and horses and
been a terror among the ranchers of
this vicinity for a number of years.

~ANTi-SIuVER HOUSE.


-----
The recent vote in the house of
representatives at Washington of 225
against the free coinage of silver and
only 80 for it, is sure evidence OF the
fact that the friends of silver can ex-
pect no bill in it's favor from the pres
emit congress. There can certainly be
no legislation on the silver question
for at least two years, and not even
then unless this large majority shall
be reversed in the next congressional
election, which takes place next fall
and of which there is but little hope.
There is no use in Disgusting the fact
that the majority of the people Of this
time appear to be adverse to the use of
silver as a redemption money.
This being the condition Of affairs
the question arises whether it is not
the part of wisdom to accept the situa-
ton and turn our attention to the min
ing and production Of those other met
ais which are abundant and prolf ic in
Montana. Our W opinion IN the sill
yer question is not changed. We be-
lieve now as we have always believed
that a great wrong was committed
when the coinage OF silver was sus-
pended, and that it should be now a
part of the lawful money of the coun-
try, upon an equality with gold. But
neither our opinion nor that of a thou
sand others entertaining the same
views. al alter the present situation.
There is a large majority against US
in the only body in which legislation
can be made effective. We must.
therefore, bide u opportunity and
wait. In the meantime, because our
silver mines are shut down and their
product barred Of "a market, our min
ers need not be idle.
The gold, and the copper. and the
lead and coal, which lie in profusion in
the hills Of Montana, are only waiting
for the pick and the drill. only waiting
for the intelligent industry which will
bring them out of the veins and lodes
10 be turned into current money. No
miner need be idle now. There is a
demand for gold mines-let us satisfy
that demand; there is a demand for
copper mines-let us satisfy it.
All through the east and mon its
capitalists there is a cry for gold
mines. Money in abundance is ready
for investment in such mines. ana as
Montana has them, why not find and
develop them? Surely, as much money
can be made, and it is said a great deal
NS"A
more, in mining for gold, than ever
could be made in mining for silver.
We therefore say to our mining read
ers, to those who are engaged in pros-
pectlng the hills. do not sit down and
whine over the "crime OF 1878" for it
cannot be remedicd now, but take yonr
picks and shovels and 60 into the hills
and look up the copper and the gold
and remember that one fairly good
gold mine is worth ard will sell fo,
more money than all the silver mines
in Montana.
This is your opportunity. Avail
yourselves Of it. and it will not he
many years before the increased pro.
duction Of gold will make the ratio
16 to ], whether there is aDv ]eois,a.
tion on the subject or not.

IT'S A COMMON CAUSE

In the last issue of the Whitehall
Zephyr, a correspondent from Twin
Bridges discusses the proposed Cav
lord bridge, advocates it warmly. copi-

An exchange says that the new wo.
mar is very much in evidence in Den
yer, where a Mrs E. Phelps has organ
lied a woman's mining company. and
has given it out cold that mo man on
earth shall own one share of stock
The board of directors is all women,

terprise.

tates on the probability of the removal
of the county seat in the dim distant
future, and intimates, in a far fetched
manner, that the MAD1sON1AN and the
people of Virginia would oppose the
enterprise.
Now we are not counting another
long winded controversy, but we will
say emphatically that the Zephyr cor
respondent is in error. The people of
Virginia heartily endorse the PROPOSE
ton to build the bridge and will be in
evidence when the petition is present
ed to the honorable board of commits
sioners. Two weeks ago the MAD1sO,
MAN advocated the cause of the Gay
lord people warmly, and it proposes to
continue to do SO.
We advise the Zephyr correspondent
not to allow his anticipatory proclivi-
ties to get the best of his discretion in
such matters, and beg to inform him
that we have yet to meet with the Mad
ison county mar who objects to the
building of this bridge.

The Bozeman Chronicle says that
Wicked Tom Baker of the Twin
Bridges Monitor is having a whole lot
of trouble. One night last week a
thief entered his woodshed and alb
stracted therefrom a whole side of
beef. We know that this will sound
wild and wierd to those who know Tom,
but we are assured that he did possess
this amount of beef-it was paid to him
by a subscriber seven years in arrears,
and we're betting dollars to doughnuts

MR.. AUSTIN REPUDIATES TWO BILLS.

Albany Feb. 1.-the following statement was
made to-day to n United Press representative by
Lssemblynan Austin Rep.. n W. chairman of
the Cites Committee:
introduced Assembly BIZ No 1885, relating to the
appointment of temporary assistants by the In
specor Of Gas Meters and Bill GA, authorizing the
construction of k!oshs In the city OF New YORK. by
request and with the distinct unders landing That
should not be committed In their favor. but be at
liberty to repudate them before the committee and
House. Both bills have aroused so much comment
that deem proper, not only In justice to myself
but 10 the people | represent. to depart from the
usual rule and announce IN" position IN regard 10
these bills at the present time instead OF waning
until they are called up in committee. Had known
ali the facts connected with Bill No 1855 that know
now the bill would never have been introduced by
me- and now repudiate 1t in toto. AS to BIZ NO
S4. was assured that Il only provided for tne
erection of structures similar to those which are -
be found in several Of the large European cities ana
that the bill In Its general features would nave
the approval Of the city authort es The BILL how
evef has several features so objectionabie that
cannot fail to meet an adverse fate; PERSONALLY
am unalterably opposed to 1t. will never favor
any lsaislation that viii materially Interfere with
