A CORRESPONDENT OF ROTHcHILDs.
Becomes Insane and lmagines He Is a Shepard
Dog.--A Band Case.

Sheepherders frequently go crazy,
who imagined he vas a shepherd dog
and crawled about on his hands and
feet, barking. Such is the turn of
mind of one Christian Johnson, who
lis now in Jail awaiting commitment
to the asylum. Johnson applied at
the Bower ranch on Sage creek ten
days ago for a job and, the company
needing a herder, he was given work.
Two days later the foreman went
out to look after the sheep and found
the band scattered and the herder
missing. The sheep were gathered
and search begun Johnson, though
he was not found for several days.
When discovered he was on Wolf
tours and emitting a noise closely re-
sembling a bark. Other than imag-
ming he is a dog, he seems all right
and is harmless. The afflicted was
detained at stanford for a day and
brought. in Tuesday morning by
Sheriff Waite.
On Tuesday Johnson was given
an examination and will be taken to
the asylum next week. From letters,
registry receipts. ETC., found on his
person. it is evident that he has not
always been poor and afflicted, but
during 1896 and 1897 has had COM
munication with Claus Spreckles. the
sugar magnate, Thomas A. Edison,
the worlds greatest electrician, and
the famous Rothchilds of Paris.
With Edison he communicated on
the subject of precious stones, he evil
IDENTIFY having sent some quartz for
examination. JohnsOn's San Fran
cisco address was in a good residence
portion of the city and he had at one
time made his headquarters at the
Grand hotel.

Lewistown is Becoming Overrun With Hoboes
and Lawbreakers.

For n month or six weeks past
citizens, as well as visitors, have
noted the increased number of
loafers and hard looking characters,
without visable means OF support,
who hang about the saloons on
Main street during the day and early
evening, and i'm the late hours annoy
nearby residents with their shouts
of revelry in the dives on lower
JaneauX street. These barnacles
have not come to Lewistown in
gangs but singly and with constant
~ increased frequency. Fights near
the doorways of saloons are of
frequent occurrence while it is "A
current report that gambling is con
Quoted nightly in second story
rooms.
During the past week several
citizens have been stopped on
Main street by some of this gang
ostensiably begging for money to
get a meal, but in fact only DESTROYS
of securing the wherewith to CON
tinue their drunk. The sheriff's
force is well %uccrpied during the day,
especially when there is as much
crime about the county as in the
last fortnight, and cannot be expect
ed to, nor does the law contemplate,
that they shall walk the streets all
night.
Under Sheriff Simons suggests
that since taxpayers have re-
iected incorporation, peace loving
citizens provide funds for the pay
ment of "a night Waterman with
police powers, ANA that rigid action
he taken to clean out some If the
dives and dispel the hard clement.
There is constant demand for labor
ers from ranchmen and stocknen and
there is not n particle of excuse for
men being idle. Let us have q chain
gang-there is plenty Of work to be
done Oh the roads.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Mrs. NJ. J. Garrett is being urged
to take the nomination far county
superintendent of schools on the
Democratic ticket and ii il not at all
improbable that she will be named.
w. II. Peck was in from the bad
lands last week, where he is running
his sheep. MIR. Peck says that the
report that he is a candidate for "a
county Office is without foundation
in fact.
II. w, Chase will shortly move his
saw mill plant from East FORK II
begin work in IA patch of timber near
the Diehl ranch, on lower Spring
creek. He has several large con-
tracts to fill for ranchmen and stock
men in that vicinity.
The first frost of the season caught
many tender flowers and vegetables
Monday night. Snow having fallen
and the first frost being passed, we
may expect some beautiful fall
weather, though a slight raise in the
temperature would be entirely ac-
ceptable.
DIR. w. f. Hanson has been advised
by the officials of the government
fishery at at Bohemian, that in a few
weeks they will send to Lewistown
a large quantity of brook trout to
re-stock Big Spring creek. Public
subscription will necessarily have to
be resorted to to defray the expenses
of transportation from the nearest
railroad point.
River Press: Stock Inspector
Lund, who has just returned from
the upper Sun River country, reports
the sale of the Cottle herd of cattle
to John Arnold of Helana. The deal
comprised bet tween 400 and 800 head,
and the price was in the neighbor-
hood of $50 per head. Mr.. Arnold
will ship most OF the steers to
Chicago, and send the balance OF the
herd to Nebraska.
The stage service bet ween TIBET and
Lavina. giving is communication
with Billings, will be re-established
the 18th inst, though we have not
heard who has obtained the con-
tract. This line should never have
been discontinued, and since July
the lack OF tie service has resulted in
nue. Inconvenience, not only to resi-
dents south OF the Snowies, but to
travellers desiring to go east on the
Burlington.
William Hortop heard from his
son, Fred, again this morning.
When the trooper wrote the regi-
ment, Grigsby's cavalry expected to
be mustered put on 80 days furlough
or permanently, not latter than the
10Th inst. Their horses and all
equipage had already been turned
over to the government. Fred says
he will return home as soon as his
brother, Almon, is able to travel.
The latter is steadily improving.
Otto ~Schoenfeld OF Great Falls. the
gentleman who raised a troop OF
cavalry last spring and tried to get
it included in Montana's quota, was
sandbagged and robbed at Ana
conda, Friday evening last, the rob-
beers securing about $4,000. Mr..
Schoenfeld had been selling pools on
the races and after supper went to
his room to check up the accounts
and count his money. While his
back was turned toward the door
his assailant entered with the result
noted. At last accounts there was
no clue to the thief. The robbery
| occurred in the Montana hotel.

NEW YEAR GROUP BONDED.
Denver Parties VIII Work the Property for
Two Years on a $50, 900 Bond.

The deal on the New Year mine,
mentioned last week, is between f.
z. Wright, W. q. Norman and A. ID.
Harmon, owners, and 4. =. Wright
and w. Z. johnson of Denver. Messrs.
Wright and Johnson thoroughly ex-
amined the property and took bond
on the group, which includes the
New Year, Gibson, Virginia, Ralph
and Bull Pine, for $50, 900. The bond
is to run two years from the 10th
inst, and provides that the lessees
shall expend not less than 800 per
month in development work on the
mines during the term of the bond
and that in case OF forfeiture all work
done or improvements made shall be
the property of the lessons. Messrs.
Wright and Johnson further agree to
pay 81 per % royalty on all ore
mined or milled, such royalties to
apply on the payment, and that one
half of the purchase money shall be
paid on or before Sept. 10, 1899. The
amount paid down to secure the
bond was nominal. MIR. johnson
has returned to Denver, but Mr..
Wright is here and work will becom-
menced at an early date. This prop
erty was bonded to w. de l.. Bene.
diet of New York last year for &c.,
900, which bond was forfeited.

THE AMERICAN WAY.

If peace is formally declared within
week or two it will be in accord with
the American way of doing things
This country is always in a hurry. 1t
is not given to temporizing, nor to the
splitting of hairs. 1t has a bluntness
about its methods which surprises the
nations over the sea, and it not only
surprises, but in many things compels
admiration as we'll. If it makes peace
within week or two it is in line with
the way ithas made war.
Take for instance the invasion of
Cuba. 1t required a little more than
two weeks for General Shafter to
transport his army of 10000 men a
thousand miles by sea, disembark it in
the face of strong and we'll armed
enemy and march through a tropical
country, almost devoid of roads, and
at a season of the year looked upon as
dangerous and extra hazardous, storm
and take positions deemed almost i'm
pregnable by those who held them
and at the last, force a capitulation
OF an army that outnumbered his own
Is /, at all singular that the nations OF
the old world are looking on with
amazement at the work of this young
giant among them all?
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-08-02
WORK FOR THE ARMY.

With peace apparently in sight the
work of the army is not ended Ha-
waii has been annexed to the United
States, and while a government is in
process of establishment over there
some troops will be necessary both as
military precaution, even though no
force will need to be eXerted, and as a
garrison to defend the new possession
from possible assault. Porto Rico is
destined, according to all rumor, to
fall into the keeping of the United
States. How refractory that bit of
territory may prove cannot be told
yet, but it is quits certain that gar
rison must be maintained there, and
at the start it may require consider
able number of men on the island.
Cuba is a problem. The capacity of
The Cubars for self-government, and
ttieir ability to establish a government
that will be acceptable and able to
prevail, considering the antipathy of
the Spaniards still there to anything
native, is to be determined. First OF
all, many reforms must be introduced
in Cuba by the United States, and the
presence of considerable army will
be necessary for that purpose. The
new Cuba will be strictly different

be dispatched. Peace may come soon,
but the army will not be returned
home for a considerable time, and
from some points the army will never
be recalled,-Pittsburg Times.
