Great Falls. June ia party, COM
prising nine young men Of Lewistown,
explored the ice cave last week.. which
1t situated in the summit Of Judith
mountain, nine miles east of Lewistown.
The cave has two apartments. the d.
mansions of the first being about
250x75x10. The first part or entrance to
the ice cave has a rock bed. while the
second part has an Ice bed. which is so
large that a la cannot throw a rock
across 1t. The party was not able to
enter this apartment, because during
the past five years the ice has raised so
high rs to almost close the entrance.
This appears to be due to the caving in
of two air holes, which are at the Zoe
of the mountain, from which flowed a
strong and ice-cold draft. These holes
were not 80 large as to allow the en-
trance of a man.

Hestiiities Over the Building Of a Rail-
road Fence.
Great Falls, June 1s.-John c.. SuIli-
van. who has just returned from a trip
TO Yantic. reports thai Assessor Jas.
T. Moran is holding the fort against a
railroad fence building crew at that
point, says the Fort Benton River
Press. The crew was in the act of fenc-
ing In about 80 acres of Mr.. Moran's
ranch when he appeared upon the scene
and ordered them to desist: this de-
mand being ignored. Mr.. Moran secured
a u and compelled them to suspend
operations.
This beginning OF hostiities hap
pened several days ago. and several at
tempts have since been made to out
general Mr.. Moran In his tactics. But
all such efforts have been in vain; Mr..
Moran a stood steadily BY his mod
ern 13-inch gun (the barrel Is some
thing over that long), and has held his
position against all corners. The fence
building crew. composed of about 40
men. withdrew from the field wednes-
day afternoon, but Mr.. Moran Is still
on guard at the old stand.
Mr.. Moran's action Is governed by
the belief that II he allows the railroad
people to take peaceaple possession Of
the land In dispute he will have to re-
sort OF an annoying and expensive law
suit to recover his rightful property.
He believes he IL In the right and is
perfectly willing to take the conse-
Quences of his hostile action. wen II it
results in his arrest by the county au-
thorities. 1t il said that the railroad
fence not only takes in 30 acres of land
belonging to Mr.. Moran. but also runs
across Q county road and obstructs
travel thereon.
