the swelling of the larger streams later.
A report from Fergus county says that all
streams there are so badly swollen tina.
stage lines are abandoned and Lewistown
is cut off from all communication with the
outside world. There is little to fear
here. The Missouri would have to exceed
the record of all the past by many feet
before it would inflict any damage, and
practically all danger has been over since
the Boston 6 Montana saw mill in this
city was abandoned. Danger was further
decreased six or seven years ago by the
blowing up of the Petty dam in the Mis-
souri, above the railway bridge. The Belt
creek is the only source of damage in
this vicinity. That stream is given to
phenomenal changes, and a sudden rise
there might wipe out a few dwellings.
but could intict no lasting harm to the
village A sudden rise in Deep creek
might also carry away some farm build
ings, but the total loss would be small.

BATTLE OF CALO0CAN.
Sergeant Cornelius Describes the Fight
ing Very Wildly.

Sergeant Cornelius Describes the Fight
ing Very yividly.
Great Falls, April 12.-Royal Fletcher
night clerk at the Park hotel, has re-
ceived the following letter from Edwin
G. Cornelius, sergeant of Company A:
"Well, old man, 1 am stnl alive, and
well, and still lying in the trenches, and
have been for the last six weeks. This is
great life. Well 1 suppose you have
heard all about the battle and about the
wounded and killed. Thank God, l came
out all right Company A did fine work
on the 10th; that is in the battle Of Ca
loocan. First came the Kansas, on the
left; then Company I, Montana, on the
right of the Kansas; then A Company, on
the right of I Company. A and I had all
the hard fighting to do. We advanced
about $3.50 p. m, deployed, had no more
than got in line when the insurgents
opened fire on US, and such a fire I never
want to face again. We got the command
TO lie down and sent a few good volleys
into them that put the fear of Christ into
their black hearts. and then advanced by
Tushes. On the second advance Jack
Billiard got hit in the jaw with a Mauser
but ne is all right again.
Sergeant Cornelius then describes the
charge in which he led one section of the
LIST platoon, and continues:
Il think Briggs of Gray's squad got
shot in the neck just as he was getting
up to advance. The ball went down and
lodged in his back and he died in a few
hours. Captain Moran saw Briggs and
sent Dibhle back to him, and when he was
returning he got shot through both legs.
Then we had them going. They start
ed to run, and we after them. yelling al
the top of our voices. The more we would
yell, the faster they would run. A cor
respondent of some paper got it through
the arm. I turned around just in time
to see him get it, took my handkerchief
out and tied it around his arm. Then
George Boardman got shot through the
hat, and another went through his leg.
Charles Hoerrmann got shot through the
nat, also. All close, and I never got
touched.

they would force our lines and kept up

scarce breathing. The exciting clickety-
click as it grew louder and louder
seemed to be beating upon his soul. Pres
emily a horsenana with ajangl cling equip
ment drew rein before the colonel Of
the regiment The two held short,
sharp-worded conversation. The men in
the foremost ranks craned their necks.
AS the horseman wheeled his animal
and galloped away, he turned to shout
over his shoulder: Don't forget that
box of CIGARS" The colonel mumbled
in reply. The youth wondered what a
box of cigars had to do with war.
A moment later the regiment went
swinging off into the darkness twas
now like one of those moving monsters
vending with many feet. The air was
heavy and cold with dew. A mass of
wet grass, marched upon, rustled like
silk. =
There was an occasional fash and
glimmer Of steel from the backs of
all these huge crawling reptiles. From
the road, came crackings and prun1-
blings as some surly guns were dragged
away. ~s
The men stumbled along still NUT
tering speculations. There was a sub
dued debate. Once, a man fell down
and as he reached for his rifle a COM
rade, unseeing, trod upon his hand. He
of the injured fingers swore bitterly
and aloud. A low, tittering laugh went
among his fellows. = 49,.
Presently they passed into a road
o1o
strides. A dark regiment moved be-
fore them, and, from behind, also,
came the tinlxle of equipments on the
bodies of marching men. "a -
The rushing yellow of the develop
ing day went on behind their backs.
When the sun rays at last struck full
and mellowingly upon the earth,
the youth saw that the landscape
was streaked with two long, thin,
black columns, which disappeared on
the brow of the hill in front and rear
ward vanished in wood. They were
like two serpents crawling from the
cavern of the night. p" 80 a."
The river was not in view. The tall
soldier burst out in praise of what he
thought to be his powers of perception.
Didn't I tell you?''
The youth took no part in them. As
he walked along in careless line, he was
engaged with his own eternal debate.
He could not hinder himself from
dwelling upon it. He was respondent
and sullen and threw shifting chances
about him. He looked ahead often ex-
pecting to hear from the advance the
rattle of firing. e. IL,

CHAPTER III.

When another night came, the col
umns, changed to purple streaks, fled
across two pontoon bridges. A glaring
fire wine-tinted the waters of the river.
Its rays, shining upon the moving
masses of troops, brought forth here
and there sudden CLEANS of silver or
gold. Upon the other shore, dark
and mysterious range of hills was
curved against the sky. The insect
voices of the night sang solemnly.
After this crossing, the youth assured
himself that at any moment they might
be suddenly and fearfully assaulted
from the caves of the lowering woods.
He kept his eyes watchfully upon the
darkness. p s@tfs
Presently, the army again sat down
to think. The odor of the peaceful
pines was in the mems nostrils., The
sound of monotonous ax-blows! rang
through the forest and the insects,
nodding upon their perches, crooned
like old women. The youth returned
to his theory of a blue demonstration.
One gray dawn, however, he was
kicked in the leg by the tall soldier and
then, before he was entirely awake, he
found himself running down a wood
road in the midst of men who were
painting from the first effects of speed.
His canteen banged rhythmically upon
his thigh and his haversack bobbed
softly. His musl1et bounced 7'trife
from his shoulder at each stride and
made his cap feel uncertain upon his
head. =
He thought the damp fog Of early
morning moved from the rush Of a
great body of troops. From the dis
lance came a sudden spatter of firing.
He was bewildered. AS he ran with
his comrades he strenuously tried to
think, but all he knew was that if he
fell down those coming behind would
tread upon him. All his faculties
seemed to be needed to guide him
over and past distractions. He felt
carried along by a mob. - y
The sun spread disclosing rays and,
one by one, regiments burst into view
like armed men just born Of the earth.
The youth perceived that the time had
come. He was about to be measured.
For moment he felt in the face of his
great trial like babe. And the flesh
over his heart seemed very thin. -
The regiment slid down a bank and
wallowed across a little stream The
mournful current moved slowly on and
from the water, shaded black, some
white bubble eyes looked at the men.
AS they climbed the hill on the fur
Their side artillery began to boom.
Here the youth forgot many things as
he felt sudden impulse of curiosity.
He scrambled up the bankwith a speed

'Shucks!" snorted the loud private,
scornfully. But the youth felt CRATE

He had feared that all of the untried

He was now in measure treasured.

young one followed. They were wrang-
ling. "That's all right" the tall sol
der was saying as he entered. "You
can believe me or not-just as you like. :"
His companion grunted stubbornly
and said: "Well, you don't know every
thing in the world, do YOU"
The youth, pausing in his nervous
walk, interrupted their quarrel. "Go-
ing to be a battle, sure, is there, Jim?"
''Of course there is" said the tall
soldier.
Presently the youth asked: "How do
you think the regiment will do?"
''Oh, they'll fight all right after they
once get into it, said the other with
cold Judgment. s'There's been heaps
of fun poled at them because they are
new, but they'll fight all right, guess"

thoughtfully.

Justice Toomey this morning on a charge OF
wife beating. The woman was of comely ap-
pearance and neatly dressed aud the hus.
band apparently an industrious man. All
the witnesses seemed to favor the latter.
The husband made no denial of the charge,
but produced post-ofice receipt he found at
his home, as evidence that the wife had been
sending money to paramour. The defend
ant was required to furnish $500 bail for trial
at court, and he did so, declaring that
he would sever the domestic relations As
the bail was being furnished the wife init
mated that she was willing to settle, but the
husband rejected the overture. About two
years ago man was shot in a quarrel at
'the rocks" and jealousy over Mrs. Kos
losky was given as the cause of the shooting,
which was not very serious one.
George Urvanawicz was put under S4OO

MCCORMICK AND BONNER.
Lively and Exciting Boxing Bout Between
Heavy-weights.


The great crowd that packed the Quaker
City Athletic Club at Philadelphia, Saturday
night, saw one Of the best glove contests be-
tween heavyweights that has ever been seen
in that city for long time. The principals
were Jack Bonner and Jack Mccormick, and
the latter had a shade the best of the boxing.
One thing that pleased the spectators was the
fact that both men were trying their best to
win. Bonner was off several times when a
good, cool, clean punch would have settled
matters.
During the first two rounds it was about an
even thing. In the third round Mccormick S
nose showed a little trickle of blood. In the
latter part of this round Bonner made a
brilliant rally, fairly raining the blows on
McCormick's body and head. But he could
not stop ''Mac.' In the fourth round Bonner
forced Mccormick. but he was wild, and to-
ward the close of the round he was tring,
and Mccormick was evening matters up with
some good left hand work. The fifth round
was a very warm argument from first to last.
It was McCOrmick's round, and he got in
some hot punches, although Bonner was not
idle, and did a little punching on his own
account.
The last round was not so exciting Nc
Cormick did the bulk of the leading and he
landed many times. Bonner was trying to
finish the bout with one punch, but the
chance never came, although he landed one
punch on MACS" head that must have set
McCormick's brain buzzing.
