HERDERS DIE FOR FLOCKS
story of Recent blizzard in Montana
Reveals II Pathetic Side to the
Great Disaster.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 25.-A special from
Great Falls Mont, says:
If anyone has concluded that the time
has passed when the servant is as faithful
to the interests Of his master as he could
be to his own he should consider the story
of the recent blizzard which swept through
Teton county in the northern part of this
state a county given up to the raising Of
eheep and cattle.
AS a result of the storm nine men are
known to be dead and of these five bodies
have been recovered. With one exception
all were sheep herders and all were found
lying in such positions as to indicate that
they had stayed with their bands to the
last, dying in their attempts to save the
property of their employers.
William Graham, working for the Cascade
Land company, was found in coulee near
Heaeys Butte. 1t Is evident that he had
tried hard during the night to get his sheep
into camp, but had not succeeded. Con-
ecious of the death impending he returned
to his tent about midnight and there wrote
and left a note saying he was nearly eX-
hausted, but was about to return to the
sheep, which were drifting up the couee.
He was found stretched on the snow, his
lantern nearly twenty feet distant. He had
two dogs, one of which remained to guard
the body while the other followed the sheep
He was unmarried and recently said that
he had not relative in the world.
Norman Bruce worked for Will Floweree
He remained with his sheep until he man
aged to drive them into sheltered epot
where they would be safe. Blinded by the
storm he mstook the coulee where his cabir
was built and wandered up another. Real
| izing his mistake too late, he turned bach
and fell less than 200 yards from his home
and safety. The searching party found hi'
dog stretched across the dead body. Bruce
was unmarried and a native of Prince Ed
ward island.
Matt Gregorich was found with his armt
crossed over his breast. His dog had fol
lowed the sheep into camp and returned
with the rescuing party too late.
Herald, working for c, R. Scofin, wa
lying in the deep snow. his beard eaten OF
by the sheep which had also eaten hi
clothes and part OF his boots. This is onl!
a portion OF the pathetic side of the dis
aster and the fidelity OF one herder is prob
ably no greater than another.
1t Is probable that the death list Is hardl
begun. Bands OF sheep without herders hav
been found at various points in the storm
district and later these will be traced an
the dead herders found.
The enow covers up everything on tn
prairie and the coulees, many OF them NOR
than 100 feet deep with steep sides, ar
filled with It.. Without exception this wa
the most severe and most fatal Octobe
storm ever occurring in Montana.

First-Absoute free trade between the
United States and the Philippines, carrying
with it the fullest commercial favor between
the countries
Second-Perfect religious freedom as now
exists under the government of Aguinaldo,
the same being concession made by him to
the wishes OF the United States.

tion Of a memorial to congress, which wa
notable alone for its indiscreet attack OF
the United States. senor Regidor will repre-
sent Agunaldo himself
Senior Regidor is said to be a man OF grea
ability and learning. having had long ex
perience in European diplomatics.
The administration has been fully In
formed of the demands of Aguinaldo an
his advisers through the dispatches of Gen
eral Otis and the secret service maintaine
by this government in Europe.

Copyright, 1892 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Oct. 25.-(New York world
Cablegram-Special Telegram. 1.-The general
British situation in South Africa is far more
serious than the vigorously censored
dispatches published here would indicate.
Steyn's proclamation annexing the northern
section of Cape Colony has excited only de-
rsion here but l am in position TO state
it has very grave import The Cape Dutch
in the annexed territory have already risen
in arms against the British government and
Steyn's proclamation is intended to relieve
them Of the consequences of their revolt
This is the first symptom of race war in
Cape Colony, which has been strenuously
declared impossible by Chamberlain and the
| jingoes, but is regarded by all sane men
as sure outcome Of the attack on the in
dependence of the Transvaal. Milner has
issued counter proclamation warning the
Cape Dutch in the dsaffected region that
Steyn's proclamation has no effect in re-
lievng them of their allegiance to the British
crown.
The war office here has been advised OF
| this serious development and the war board
had a prolonged sitting today. Dreaded
military measures will be adopted in the
eventuality of a general Cape Dutch rising
The gravity Of the position is indicated by
the measures taken to suppress all news re-
specting 1t in the press here. 1t is easily
imagined that tho Beers will be heartened
by the knowledge that their race in Cape
Colony has begun to take arms in their
cause.
The other great peril Is native interven-
tion in the war, and those familiar with the
native races of South Africa are convinced
that the effect of Miners proclamation to
the Rnsutos will he to rcitp them to attack
the Free State, and that 1t could DE devised
for no other purpose. 1t is a matter OF SUI
preme Importance to the British authorities
in the face of a revolt within Cape Colony to
secure diversion by setting the Basutos
against the Free Staters, thus preventing an
effective junction between the Free Staters
and the revolving Cape Dutch.

exceedingly cheerful.
There has been fighting at Dundee today,
but the result of the battle is not yet known.
"Pearae OF the Daily News and myself
are looking after some of the wounded. The
Imperial Light Horse Artillery were the OBJ

the color bearers being fired at.
| "In the course OF the charge one OF tho
Manchester infantry refrained from bayonet-

was such that he shot his preserver through

Major Bruce OF the medical corps informs
me that the Beers rubbed the heads OF the
bullets to make them expand.
AT Dundee the wounded Dutch are very
grateful because they are treated exactly az
English.
"The heavy losses OF the Kings Royal
Rifles seem to have been due to the black
belts worn over the khaki. which afforded an
excellent target"

Union hod carriers are almost exclusively
