sending the balloon up from the skir-
mishing line instead of from the rear.
The surgeons at the hospital say that
Mr.. Boone's right kidney is turned
around and that an operation is ness

ed severe internal injuries on his left
side. near the stomach, where several
cords are said to have been severed.
Mr.. Boone's letter in part says: Il have

Corn Prom Prehistoric seed.

George Barnum. a Nebraska farmer.
Is raising a few acres OF what Is called
out there prehistoric corn" About five
years ago a handful of this corn was
found In a cave In Arkansas in a large
clam shell. which time and weather
haf hermetically T'aled. This seed was
taken and planted. especially for the
seed. and this Is Mr.. Barnum's first ex-
p~erience with II. With only ordinary
attention and without any irrigation
thi. corn grows to an average height OF
Is feet and runs from two to IL ears on
a stalk. G~eolorists agree that the orig
ina seed found In the cave was from
5000 10 1900 years old and was no doubt
placed there by n prehistoric race. As
a rule. the ears commence 20 appear ON
the stalk about 10 feet from the ground.
During dry weather when other corn
would curl up and wither in the hot
sun. this would maintain a bright
eooseberry green. Mr.. Rarnum be-
lieves 4, has no equal for withstanding
a drouth.

IS WITHOUT A SHERIFF
Legislative Ticket Chaotic and
Uncertain.
HOUSTON WILL NOT RUN
Republican Leader and Carter Trying to
Patch Up the situation-The Tom
Tom Ticket-Goid Men
in Control.

Missoula, Oct. 1.-The combination re.
publican ticket is still without a sheriff
and the legislative ticket is in chaotic
and uncertain state. There has been
considerable study spent upon the sit
uation to-day and Senator Carter has
been active in his perambulations
among the local members OF the faith
full. There is nothing to indicate to-
night. however. that there has been ac-
complished anything definite. BIZ Hous-
ton asserts positively he will not make
the race for sheriff. II was rumored
last night and this morning that +. l..
Darbee had consented to accept the
nomination for sheriff. but this gentle
man denies the statement. IL is prom
ieed h a the full ticket will be an
nounced tomorrow night. but IL may be
like the promise that Colonel Sanders
would come over TO help the Tom-Tom
ticket.
The liver republican, were to receive
half OF the legislative ticket. but none
OF the men who were on the silver re-
publican ticket will consent to run on
a gold platform n the situation at
present leaves the gold men in full con-
troll of this part of the ticket.
Colonel MCGOWAN, who was on their
ticket At first. has resigned. Il. G. Pow
ers. who was or the silver republican
ticket. II In the East and the gold men
say that he is to remain on their new
ticket. IL Is certain. however. that Mr..
Power will never consent TO run on a
gold ticket. n the legislative ticket
will probably be In the end straight gold.
On the balance Of the ticket the silver
men receive the treasurer. assessor and
clerk and recorder. The balance Of the
ticket is made up from the gold ticket
as originally named
IL Is said that the managers had con-
difficulty in getting one or
two of the nominees of the ticket to
nah room for the silver men who are
In such bad company.

On Saturday morning the people of
Bozeman and the Gallatin valley woke
up and found SNOW on the ground. This
snow, OF course, has put a stop to all
threshing for several days. as a steady
fall was continued throughout the day
which thoroughly dampened the ground
and the grain.
As a consequence Of IN snow a num-
Der of threshing hands cam into town
to spend their surplus wage and get
wet inside as well as out. Towards the
close of Saturday evening the police
had made quite an inroad into the ranks
OF he DRINKS and the city bastile was
fully occupied.
The funeral of David Steinman, for a
number of years driver of the Northern
Pacific express wagon in Bozeman while
Bindewald was the agent here, took
place on Saturday afternoon from the
church. The deceased was a
man who was generally liked by his
friends. who regret his I'M
timely death exceedingly. Mr.. Stein

didn't he might yak up any minute

ne was. still sittin' there. Just the same.
7 But this time. even in the light. there
svas something peculiar about him, and

man at all. but a suit OF clothes. with a

As the result of foolhardiness and
poor judgment on the part of two
young men Wednesday night one of
them now lies cold in death and the
other seriously wounded, says the
Granite Tribune. Two cousins Ole
and Knut Langmansgaard, aged p
and % years respectively, living near
Myers, we're in town last Wednesday
and left for home on the night train.
They did not stop to buy tickets but as
matter of economy, presumably, they
jumped on the blind baggage and
started but as the train does not stop
at Myers unless by request, the two
men decided to jump off, which they
did while the train was pounding along
at about IS miles an hour They both
landed at the same time; one was able
to pick himself up and in dazed con-
dition found his way home, but the
other was found by party from Mon
tevedeo a couple hours afterwards
with fractured skull aud dislocated
neck. He was removed to bis home
where he died the next morning. The
other fellow will recover and no doubt
pay his fare or wait until the train
stops before attempting to get off
