as a thoroughly honest and reliable man,
and the few in this city who knew him
indorse this opinion.
Matt Gregorich. a herder for J. c.
Quigley, was found lying on the bare
ground about two miles from his camp
His arms were crossed on his breast, his
face to the storm. Apparently death
came to him without extreme suffering.
He was a native of Austria, 30 years old
and had been in this country only since
July. He was buried from the Catholic
church in Choteau on Friday.
The body of Alexander Donnelly. the
other of Quigley's lost herders, has not
been found.
H. Herald, herder for c. r. Scoffin of
Pondera, has been found. The sheep had
eaten off his beard and clothes and part
of his boots. He is almost a stranger in
this part of the country. 1t is reported
that the bodies of Peter Morrison. work
ing for Graham & Finlayson, and of AL
Harold, a herder for Hughes Bros, have
been recovered but no details are given
A Mr.. Longstaff of Butte. who was
hunting. died in the storm and his body
has been brought in Two men who were
searching for a missing herder have not
been heard of for several days and it is
feared that they have also died.

Last night Robert Coburn received a tel
ephone message from his son, Wallace D.
Coburn, at Choteau. saying that a hunting
party had returned safely from the
mountains though they suffered con-
siderably and had to wade through deep
snow. The party consisted of Mr.. and
Mrs. Coburn and c. S. Mcdonald and
wife, and was camping in the North Fork
canyon, above Augusta.

NINE KNOWN TO. Be DEAD
Remarkable Cases of Humble
Heroism.
DIED AT THEIR POSTS
Pathetic Stories OF Poor Sheepherders
Who Risked and Lost Their Lives
In the Discharge of Duty.
Many Men Missing.

Great Falls, Oct. Pho roses are be-
ing cast on the graves of those who per-
ished in the blizzard which swept through
Teton county 10 days ago, and no i'm
posing monument will mark them for
later corners. but perhaps when the re-
turns are all in they will deserve to rank
among the most heroic of the heroes
whom Montana has developed. Nine are
known to be dead; five bodies have been
recovered. OF the nine eight were poor
sheep herders. and in every instance
where the body has been found the herd
ed stayed with his charge until death re-
lieved him. 1t is all pathetic in the eX
IRENE. Nothing but a sense of duty, the
preservation Of few hundreds or thous-
ands of dollars sustained these poor fell
lows in their struggles against the storm.
There was no possibility of reward In
any form; no fame, no glory: not even the
praise of their fellows. for the herder Is
a solitary being. Yet it is said there was
an expression of great peace on the faces
of the dead; at least one man knew that
he was about to die.
William Graham worked hard to save
the sheep of the Cascade Land company.
but without success. About midnight he
returned to his cabin and there wrote
and left note stating that he had failed
to get the sheep into camp and they
were drifting up the coulee near Healy
butte. He was nearly exhausted, but
would return to the band in a few min
utes, and there it was they found him.
stretched In the snow with one of his
dogs on guard, while the other guarded
the sheep.
Evidently Graham died of exhaustion,
for his body was still limp when found.
He was n native of England. about 40
years old. and some time before his
death he had stated that he had not rel
alive in the world. The people of Cho-
teau paid the last honors to the hero,
and, like his life and the manner of his
death, the ceremony was simple.
He formerly worked in the smelter, and
had some property here. Everyone who
knew him says but one thing-that he
was faithful friend, an honest. conscien-
tous man. There is no need for this
eulogy in the face of his death record.
Norman Bruce was another of the
Faithful even unto DEATH" He had a
band of VIII Flowerrees sheep when the
storm struck him. He was about Il miles
southwest of Choteau. He followed the
sheep as they drifted south, and finally
got them in a sheltered spot. Then he
started for his cabin, passed the coulee in
which it was located and entered another.
Realizing his error, he turned back, only
to fall in the snow hundred yards from
his home, a humble one, no doubt, but to
him the margin between life and death.
When search party found his body his
dog laid beside him, still on duty. The
people of Choteau also paid a tribute to
his WORTH. Bruce was about 30 years of
age, native of Kings county. Prince Ed

A Narrow Escape.

Great Falls. Oct. 22.-George Patten-

company at Neihart. had narrow es-
cape from death. He was climbing up
the ladder in the shaft and had reached
a point about 60 feet from the bottom.
A trolley used for raising timbers and
weighing some 20 pounds had caught
and damned in the slide. Then it got
loose and, falling, struck Pattengale
on the head, cutting bad scalp wound
Fortunately the victim retained enough
presence of mind to cling to the lad
der else he would have been dashed
to the bottom.

HIS FATHERS BUSINESS
An Able Sermon by Rev. j. M.
Settle.
HE WAS THE AMOUNTED
Christ Was Conscious OF His Power and
tho Work He Had to Do-Relieion
Is the Highest Form OF
Morality.

Rev. j. NJ. Settle, pastor of the NJ.
E. church south, preached last night
from the text taken from the 4eth
verse of the second chapter of Luke:
twist We not that I must be about
my fathers business?"
In part he said:
Childhood has its own forces, it's own
kinds of strength and power, which
other partss of life do not furnish. He
was not simply the Christ after His
manhood, but from His infancy He
was the anointed of the Father. He
was ever conscious of His power and
the work He was to do. When He
conversed with the doctors He could
have raised the dead just as easily as
He did later; but His hour had not
come. In like manner we are not
Gods at the last, but all the time.
We seek product toward which all
our life and all our energies have been
directed. In this child two lives are
before us; the seen and the unseen.
The mother spends two anxious days
and nights. She is taking lessons in
the mystery of two lives. We all must
learn this lesson. We have a life, a
business, home, a father. Subsection
was His fathers business for so years;
then His baptism, then a homeless
ministry, then His death on the cross
To all Of these He gave himself with
out murmur or complaint. To His
mother He said: How is it that We
sought Me?'' There is a world of
weight in that word must" l must,
The mighty forces so long confined

the original reads, I must be in the

weight of conviction is upon Him, Pur-

colors worthy of the worlds greatest
admiration. See how soon he scars to
the divine. 1t is a prophecy of his
character. Hear him say: I must

ter idea then will the necessity
be felt. We are at His feet
to learn. When the Persian
ambassador visited the father of Alex
ander he did not ask of ivory thrones
and the pleasures of the king. He
asked of their weapons, how they
marched fought, etc.; how far it was.
Even then there was the throb of
Alexander the Great in that boys
breast. Christ is now moving as the
great God.
If you have lost Him, go to His faith
er's house, and to where His fathers
work is being done, and there you
must find Him. He is our pattern and
guide Especially is this true of Chris
tianity is the importation of the Christ
life. Hence it is the test of religion.
The moral man cannot stand this test,
for in many instances he has given no
time to His fathers business. His
motto has been self. Hence we see
that the imperfections of others are no
excuse whatever for us. The work of
the church is the fathers business, not
yours, nor mine, except as we are His.
Religion is the highest form of moral
ity 1t is morality not only toward
man, but toward God. To Christ it
was His natural impulse to obey His
father. No yoke, no thought of re-
ward or punishment, no rules were
needed, no commands We're necessary.
SO 1t should be with us. Without this
the hunger Of love could never be sat
isfied. We must be about our fathers
business. From every side we feel i'm
PEELED. Then shall the glory world be
more glorious because we. are in the
midst of our fathers business.

A more shocking and painiul story is
zot to be found in modern military
annals. Unhappily for the credit of
France and OF Captain Voulet, there is
no evidence that this officer had lost his
reason, as was charitably assumed when
the first news of the tragedy was re-
ceiSed. His letter, which our Cores
pondent sends in full. is as straightior-
ward and clear as nything OF the kind
could be. Though the writer was
laboring under a strong sense of griev-
ance, it is free from passion and inco-
herencs such as would be looked for in
the missive of one whose mind hac
given away. 1t shows a fixed determin-
alton to revolt only in certain specified
circumstances. The definition of these
destroys the theory OF insanity. Mad
ness becomes less acceDtsble as an
explanation when antecedent events are
considered, and when notice is taken Of
the deliberate manner in which Captain

Two Prices for Peace.

The Presidents commission to
the Philippines secured peace and
harmony with the Mahometan
Sultan OF Sulu and permission to
fly our flag on his coast on these
terms:
1. Recognition OF his Sultanship
2. Retention OF slavery and
polvgamY, the twin relics of bar
barism, as recognized institu-
tions" in the Sulus.
4. An allowance by the United
States Of Saso a month to the Sui
tan and $50 a month to nine oi
his chiefs tor the maintenance oi
their satrapV, their harems and
their slave drivers.
This may be thought by "dis-
loyal and "carping" critics high

offer Aguinaldo and his civilized
and Catholic followers az our besl
terms Of peace7
1. Unconditional surrender anc

ator Allison Of Iowa, had a con-
stituent out OF a job. Senator

The immediate necessity for re-

Allison, Hanna and Mcmillan were
relieved. The nation has thus far
been the victim to the extent of
$4,000. Robert P. Porter, figure
iakir and statistical confidence eSc-
pert, was sent by Mckinley to
Cuba as a Tariff Commissioner;
later he was sent to Berlin to tell
the Emperor that the Beef Trust

all its nauseous products were re-

Dewey may be reduced to his

W0yLd, that the President and his
Cabinet sYmpathize only "to an
extent" with a brave people de-
tending their libertY--with two
republics threatened with .extinc-
tion2
There was no such cold limita-

Boers1 Are our obligations to
England so great that we cannot
even offer our mediation to prevent
an "irreparable crime" against
freedom, self-government and
civilization
Such is not the opinion OF the
people of the United States, as it
is revealed in their unexampled
petition to the President through
the New York Woyld.
There is absolutely no public
opinion contrary 90 the spirit OF
this petition.
Has anybody asked the Presi-
dent not to "offer the friendly SER
vices OF the United States IN me-
diation between Great Britain and
the Republics Of the TransYaal
and the Orange Free Slater"

representative petition ever ad-
dressed to President since the
formation OF our Union asks Mr..
Mckinley to offer mediation, as
expressly provided in the plan OF
the Peace Congress at The Hague,
signed by the representatives OF the
United States and of Great Britain.
Is it not the duty OF the Presi-
dent to respond to public senti-
ment in this matter, regardless OF
his personal desires, exactly as he
did when he was opposed to the
war against Spain, but yielded to
the force OF public opinion and ex-
ecuted the will OF the people that
Cuba should be free7 The culture
and the conscience of the nation
plead for freedom for the Beers.

the President as were the yells oi
unthinking crowds at railway sta
tions that melted him, aPaIns. his
previous inclinations, to a war oI
conquest in the Philippines

may be the political consequences

When the first news came home that

Colonel Kloob and another officer sent
to supersede the commandsnts OF the
Voulet Chanoine mission from the Niger
to Lake rchad, we craved suspense OF
Judgment, Just as we should have done
in the case of a British officer, and we
added that, if the events occurred as
then narrated, they must be put down
to stark, staring, solar madness. We
deeply regret to say that the text o
Captain Voulet's letter to Col. Klobb,
officially communicated by the Colonial
Minister, leaves no sort of doub: con .
cerning the truth of the original story,
and we must add that our charitable
theory OF sun lunacy must be abandoned
also. The letter plac es beyond suspicion
the theory of calculated insubordination.
There is only one gleam Of hope. 1t is
that Captain Chanoine was not partner
in the villainY Of Voulet. 1t is now said
he was not present when the murders
took place.
