Alex. Yule's ranch below Neihart is a
picture of comfortable farm life with its
bountiful harvest of garden vegetables
in sight, and its immense stacks of grain
ready for the thresher. The industry

an example worthy the emulation of all

The big meteor of last week was seen
generally over Montana. 1t has been
located near the head of Sun River, as
one man reports that it fell within a
mile of him, bursting into three pieces,
with two loud explosions, the most ter
rifle he ever heard. Several search par

finder Of it will be handsomely reward

ing and Jack Campbell are leasing on
the ground of the Brown Eyed Queen

Jack Williams, near Logging creek,
claims to have caught a trout from Belt
creek which measured % inches in
length. Can't tell what made the fish
look so long; but it is unkind to accuse
Mr.. Williams of having measured the
pole instead of the fish. The only reli-
able fish story we have yet received in

deposition, we must proclaim Mr.. Roehl
