GREAT FALLS. Mont, Oct. 2S.-AsG q
result OF the recent blizzard whlch
swept through Teton county, IN the
northern part OF this state, nine men
are known to be dead. and Of these.
hve bodies have been recovered. With
one exception all were sheephsrdOFs,
and all were found lying in such posi-
tlons as to indicate that they had stay
ed with their hocks to the last. dying
In their attempts to save the property
Of their employers.
William Graham, working Tor the
Cascade Land Company, was found IN
coulee near Healy Butte. It Is eyi-
dent that he had tried hard through the
night to set his sheep into camp, but
had not succeeded. Conscious Of tho
death which was impending, he return
ed to his tent about midnight and tharo
wrote and left note saying he was
nearly exhausted, but was about to re-
turn to the sheep which were drifting
up the coulee. He was found stretch
ed on the snow, his lantern about tWen-
ty feet distant. OF his two dogs, one
remained to guard the body. while ths
other followed the sheep.
Norman Bruce worked for WIN Flow
cree. He remained with his sheep until
he managed to drive them into . shel-
tered spot. where they would be safe.
Blinded by the storm he mistools the
coulee. where his cabin was built and
wandered up another. Realizing his
mistake too late. he turned back and
fell less than 200 yards from his homo
and safety The searching party found
his dog stretched across the dead body.
Matt Gregorieh was found with his
arms crossed upon his breast. His dog
had followed the sheep into camp and
returned with therescue party too late.
H. Herald, working for C. r. sehotan,
was lying in the deep snow, his beard
eaten of by the sheep. which had also
eaten his clothes and part Of his boots.
It Is probable that the death list q
hardly begun. Flocks Of sheep without
herders have been reported from vari-
Gus points in the storm district, and
later these wifi be traced and the dead
herders found.
Now the snow covers up everything
on the prairie and the coulees, many Of
them more than 100 feet deep and with
steep sides are filled with 1t. This was
the most severe and most fatal october
snow storm ever occurring In Montana.

rnuCHING INCIDENTS

OF the Field Related BY captain
Peyton.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Among the touch
ing incidents of the field related. Cap
tain Peyton. of the Mancheste. regl-
ment, who was wounded at Eland-
slaagte, says the wounded had to lie on
the field throughout the bitterly cold
night, drenched by the rain. One man
in his regiment placed his arms around
Captain Peyton through the whole
night, to give him the warmth OF his
body.
Il appears that Gordon Highlanders
and the Manchesters bore themselves
with reckless courage. To this was due
the fact that they suffered 80 heavily.
The former were keen to wipe out the
insults leveled at them after Majuba by
the Beers who taunted them with be-
ing 'Raffits in kits"

OMINOUS SILENCE.

The Censorship Working Smoothly
and Without n Hitch At Cape Town.
Martial Law IN Natal,
LONDON, Oct zs.-Wtth unconscious
humor, Cape Town correspondent tel
egraphed yesterday:
1.-The censorship, which Is always
delicate matter, is working smoothly
and without a hitch.
This exactly hits Oft the state OF at.
fairs to-day. An omlnouB veil Is still
drawn over the movements Of General
Sir George Stewart White and General
Yule. Beyond belated Ladysmith dis
patches concerning the ElaIidslaagte
fight which are still altering in. the
British public Is left In complete dark
nees, and to conjecture over cooked
war ONCE dispatches. The officials OF
the war ofIlce last evening said that
very few dispatcheBe have arrived, ana
that nothing further was to be expected
until morning
The heavy losses Of the British forces
in facing only some 5000 BoeFs are COM
mented upon as what rife FIRE means to-
day In the hands OF even undiscipllned
men who can shoot fairly straight ana
stand their ground Comparisons are
made with the first employment OF the
magazine rifle in the aispano- American
war, and It is considered that the Amer
ican Losses at Fl Caney and San Juan
would have been much heavier II the
spaniards had doggedly stood their
ground like the Beers.
Gen. Sir Redyers Buffers is expected
to arrive at the Cape carly next week
and the indications are that some troops
have already arrived at the front and
been in the fighting whose arrival has
not yet been announced. There is ev-
cry probability therefore that reinforce
ments are now moving up. This Is cali
cuIated to hasten Commandant GeneraL
Ioubert's attack on Ladysmlth. and
news Of a big battle is daily expected.
About half complete army corps is
now afioat, and a lull has occurred IN
dlspatching the remainder OF Gen. Bull
leris forces, owing TO some difficulty IN
obtaining transports. The mobilization
and efnbarkation OF 81 900 men. however,
have proceeded with the utmost smooth
ness and completeness, extorting adml-
ration from even the seveFest critics OF
war office organization.

ing for old S1uta Claus to come. While
times are very hnrd and money scarce
we hope the little ones will not be forgot
ten. This year Christmas is II very
evenLful day. 1t only comes now and
then on Sunday. 1t has been an old
custom to celebrate Christmas day In a
Jollyflcation way Of shooting guns,
hunting, drinking dram, dancing and
many other sinful ways which is all
very unbecoming in celebrating the
birth Of our blessed Saviour. Now we
trust as those two holy days combine
this year the minds OF every living
soul will be concentrated to God in
Thanksgiving and praise. Not only
for the Sabbath, but especially for the
gift of Saviour who was born into
This sinful world as u Redeeming Power
for all our sins aud shame II we will re-
pent and believe on Him. Now we
trust that every soul who reads those
words will direct their thoughts ac-
cordingly and let this be a Christmas
of prayer instead Of sport and vices.
1t is we'll to say that there has been
more grain sown this fall and winter
than we have known for the past Is
years, especially wheat without saying
a word about cotton growers associa-
tion. This evidently means less cot
ton in 1899. We can solve the pro -
lens of raising less cotton in q few
words. The whole secret is to raise
more to eat and make less debts. The
farmers need no further advice along
this line; they are fully educated up to
the fact and will put the whole thing
into practice another year.
The young folks Of this and surround
ing section enjoyed u dance at Mr..
Thos. Fpps' recently.
These warm, ra my days are very ia
vorabie to the grain crop, but we fear
it will result in some spoilt meat.
