Missoula, Aug. 16.-J. NJ. Dixon has
received a letter from Bob Case, who
is with the LIST Montana regiment, in
which the writer describes graphically
all the sufferings of the troops on the
voyage. He says that had 1t not been

 Mckinney was to return to his home in Grant county that after noon and Taylor's daughter. who is about 1S years old, consented to an elopement. The young couple had been gone about thirty minutes before MT. Taylor became aware Of his daughters abseeees When Taylor found that Mckin ney eloped with his daughter he be- came furious; rushing into the house he hastily secured shot gun, mounted mule and started in pur- suit of the lovers. He overlook them at the C. L. Fletcher Place in Saline county. Taylor opened fire upon Mckinney-who was sitting ta the wagon with Miss Taylor and three gentlemen friends-and twice missed his aim. Reaching down in the bed of the N agon Mckinney secured a gun and returned the fire of his antagonist.
