A RECORD BREAKER.
The Burlington Makes q Remarkable Run
from Edgemont to Billings.

A very remark able run was made
by the Burlington passenger train
from Edgemont to Billings last
Saturday. The train was delayed
at Ravena q hours waiting for the
track to he cleared of II small freight
wreck some distance up the road.
The Burlington, due here at 10:1J.
makes connection in this city with
the west bound Northern Pacific.
which leaves here at 11:l5 y. IN. The
trainmcn had orders to make the
usual connection, if possible, and
did so, having five minutes To spare.
The distance between Edgemont
and Billings is 3G6 miles.
The train. which is made up of IL
mail car. baggage and express car,
smoker, chair ear and Pullman
sleeper, left Edgemont at 2:30 u. III.
and arrived at Billings at ll:l0 p. m.,
making the 366 miles i'm hours and
40 minutes. This makes an average
of 42A miles an hour. Deducting
from the total time which it took to
make the run - minutes consumed
in making eleven stops makes the
actual running time Z hours and 3l
minutes, an average of 46a miles an
hour for a distance Of 366 miles.
From Parkman to Crow agency, IL

made i'm a. minutes, and from Crow

counties. The land, il is alleged, was
coveted by the Currys, who have
the reputation OF being dangerous
men and who tried to frighten Win
ters into abandoning the property.
With that end i'm view John Curry
is alleged to have ridden up to Win
ters' cabin the night before the
shooting and shouting through the
window: "You ---, I'll give you
10 days in which to get out of the
country" There was nothing fur
ther ana Curry rode OFF. Winters
anticipated Il visit the following day
and loaded Il shotgun with buck
shot. About 9 O'Clock Saturday
morning Curry rode up on horse
back and winters went to the door
OF his cabin unarmed. when Curry
said: II thought told you to leave
this ranch,' and drawing his six
shooter fired one shot, which passed
within six inches of Winters head.
the aim being broken by the plung-
ing of his horse. Winters reached
inside. secured his shotgun and,
taking aim, fired pointblank at
Curry's breast. The full charge
struck him and his horse plunging
turned his left side toward the door,
when Winters fired the other charge
at him, the shot taking effect in the
left breast During the time that
Winters was shooting Curry fired
two more shots from his gun which
struck the ground a few feet i'm front
/ OF the porch. After receiving both
shots Curry rode 10 or 15 feet, fell
from his horse and expired almost
instantly. Winters Immediately
started for Malta to give himself up,
fearing violence from Curry's friends
but his horse gave out and he
stopped at Rrown Rrothers' ranch
where he was afforded pro
lection until Sheriff Mclaughlin and
posse arrived and took him in Gus
tody Winters has retained counse
and the defense will be that he shot
Curry in self defense.

A Mother Among Nations

There comes in the life of every
manly man a time when ne has to
assert his own manhood. IL is
difficult for the mother to under
stand, or to approve OF, the child
she 'nursed in his utter helplessness,
standing up against her fond decis-
ions for his career and In turn ruling
over his mother for her good. The
Republic has become Of age and en-
tered into the possession OF his
heritage. 1t has so much room that
its desire does not go in the direction
tory to which alternative his parent
land Is reduced. 1t Is as the elder
brother of the sixteen Republics
upon this continent that 1t intends
to act. 1t claims no sovereignty
over the weakest of these, nor has il
any intention to interfere in their
domestic concerns; neither does IL
desire to hasten the departure OF
European powers from this continent
by anything save the operations OF
their sway as rapidly, perhaps, as
is desirable. In vain does Britain
labor to build up British commun-
tiles in British Guiana, or in
Canada. or i'm any portion of this
continent; she only establishes and
nurses them in their weakness, as
Beaconsfield so truthfully said, to
see them leave her i'm their strength
4 noble office, the noblest Office
among nations, that of the mother
il hers; but when she attempts to
enlarge her boundaries, us she has
undoubtedly attempted, by drawing
several lines between herself and Vene-
zuela, each giving her more territory
than the other, the other half of the
race upon this continent feels that it
must nowadays be consulted; and
II that other half out of tender re-
gard for Great Britain. or out of a
still higher motive, the feeling of
what is due to herself as "a
Christian nation, asks that the cor
rect boundary shall be determined by
arbitra ton, "A grave responsibility
rests upon those who reject the olive

Eugene Fields Last Story.

In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a
story which he called 1.-The Were
wolf" When il was finished he laid
il aside and n year afterwoOd en-
tirely rewrote it. In 1Ssf he again
took it up and revised it and during
the nine years between that time and
his death in November last. he re-
wrote it eight times. His last re-
vision pleased him and he decided to
print it. But death came too sud
denly. and the story was found. IN
published. among his effects. Mrs.
Field, concluding to have the story
appear. gave it to the editor of The
Ladies' Home Journal, I'm which
magazine all of Mr.. Fields work
outside of his newspaper articles,
was presented to the public. The
story will be printed in the next
issue of the Journal, strikingly Illus

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. Jan. 29.-The specu-
lative movement in stocks to-day was
not attended by any news of general
barring and the widest fluctuations
that were recorded were unexplained,
except in SO far as professional mani
pulafion was concerned. This was es-
peeially true of Sugar which by far
out-ranked any OF the other leading
active stocks in point of activity and
advances, and of Tobacco which came
second in both respects. There was not
even a yestige of gossip regarding eth
or. of the stocks mentioned. The ini-
tiaI prices were generally at slight con-
cessions from yesterdays closing fig
ures and in the early dealings pressure
was noted against the Changers. The
tone Of the market soon changed To
positive strength and, under heavy
purchases for both accounts, advances
occurred in the active list, ranging up
TO 2 per cent with the Coalers, Tobacco,
Sugar and St. Paul leading.
The closing tone was easier on real
izing sales but the losses were frac-
tional aside from consolidated gas
which left off at yesterdays closing.
The railway bond market was less
active but displayed frmness. Northern
Pacific issues moved up hM21a per
cent.
The aggregate dealings were ST.
