LIVELY TIME WITH RusTLERs.
Cattle Thieves Gave the Rustlers a Fine
Run for Their Money.

Salie anleNes wave the kustiers Fine
Run for Their Money.
From the New York Tribune.
You will doubtless remember the
famous 'rustlers' fight" said r. X
Jenkins of Cheyenne at the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday. THE prominence
Of the men involved caused it at the
time to create a sensa ton. The rust
lers,' as they were called, were a band
of cattle thieves who made their head
quarters in Jacksons Hole. Some
ranchers who had suffered at their
hands determined if possible to recap
ture their stolen cattle, and to this end
organized an expedition. The story of
how the rustlers cooped them up and
how the latter were finally arrested,
after fight of several days, and spent
some months in Jail in Cheyenne, is all
ancient and oft-told history now, but
l heard story in connection with the
fight the other day that struck me as
rather amusing. 1t seems that a young
Englishman was visiting one of the
ranchers, but he had declined to take
part in the expedition on the ground
that he had no stake in the game. He
was persuaded, however. and finally
went along, but with the distinct I'M
derstanding that if he wanted to re-
turn home al any time he was to be
allowed to do so.
" ilSI lHt party were driven 10 Ia ke
refuge in the cabin in Jackson Hale
they managed to construct an outpost,
which would hold two of their number,
some yards in front of the cabin. After
the fight was on the young English

had banjo and was the possessor of
a good tenor voice. When matters look-
ed most dubious he would keep at it
with his banjo and his songs until
cheerfulness was restored. He was a

in many ways. One day, however,

turned the young Englishman with a
cheerful grin as he ducked his head as
a white puff of smoke indicated that a
shot was travelling in his direction.

OATS STOLEN.
Thieves Break Into a Granary and Steal
the Grain.

InleVeS BREAK INTO Gfanafy anu steal
the Grain.
Missoula, Dec. 5.-The granary of
George Briggs, which is out on his Four
Mile ranch, was broken into Saturday
evening and about 1000 pounds of oats
stolen. Mr.. Briggs made an effort to
locate the thieves, but was unable to
make any discovery. He looked for a
trace of them, but could only see where
the men broke into the building and
took the oats. He notified the sheriff's
office of the stealing and to-day Under
Sheriff Violette went out to see what
could be done. He discovered that the
men took the oats from the granary
to wagon which was left standing
in the main road, a small portion of the
oats splitting out of hole in the sacks.
while being taken from the building to
the wagon. Mr. Violette also believes
that this wagon was new one. to
which was hitched a small team. The
wagon went toward the Bitter Root
valley, but could not be traced further
than few rods. The granary is easily
entered, it being at one time used as
a saloon and is standing by itself be-
tween Fort Missoula and the Four Mile
house,

BIODA CLUB is HAPPY.
Probable That Master Blair Will Be Re
membered Christmas Time.


Missoula, Dec. 5.-There is rejoicing
among the remaining members of the
Boda club. That club was, few years
ago, one of large and beautiful mem
bership. It's beauty still remains, but
it's size has dwindled as the members
have set uD clubs of their own and
have entered matrimony. In all seven
little ones in Missoula now call the
Boda girls their aunts. All of the
little ones have been nieces until the
arrival the other day OF the son Of
Charles w. Blair, who is also the
grandson of Judge Knowles. Mrs. Blair
was one of the original members of the
Bioda club and the fact that her lit
tie one is a boy was the occasion of
meeting Of the Biodas last night
At this meeting proper resolutions Of
consolidation were PASSED. and while
no positive announcement is made to
that effect, it is more than likely that
the little nephew of the Bioda will
number among his Christmas presents
a remembrance from the Biodas, which
will be at least as important as a ring
upon which he can later cut his teeth.

Ceny.
MiSsoula, Dec. 5.-Judge Houtchens
sentenced the man who stole the socks
from r. Mannheim to the county Jail for
80 days and who gave his name as Ed
ward Olson. It Will be remembered that
Mr.. Mannheim saw man pass his store
with the socks under his arm and made
a run for him, and with the assistance
of Samuel Garrck arrested the man,
whose name was Pierce Lett, and taken
to the county Jail. When Lett was ar
rested and locked up in the Jail he pro-
tested his innocence, saying that he did
not steal the socks, but that another
man gave them to him to sell, purport-
ing to have bought them. Lett, believ-
ing him. tried to sell them and was ar
rested by Mr.. Mannheim, who said he
was in his store, but was not. While
in the Jail Olson was brought to the
prison for being drunk and disorderly
and when he passed into the Jail was
recognized by Lett as the man who
gave him the socks. Olson then told
the sheriff that he was the man who
stole them andowas sentenced to the
jail for 80 days. "cfs "..

IN POSSESSION.
John Mccormick Gets His Land After
Sixteen Years Litigation.


Missoula, Dec. 5.--After litigation
covering period of more than is years,
John Mccormick is now in undisputed
possession of the tract of land at the
mouth Of the Big Blaclkfoot river which
he has occupied for so long. His claim
to the land was contested by the
Northern Pacific railway and has bean
fought through all of the federal and
some of the state courts. The decis-
ion of Judge Knowles in the federal
district court was in favor of Mr.. Nc
Cormick and from this decision tho
railway company took an appeal to the
appellate court, where the decision OF
Judge Knowles was sustained The
railway company gave notice Of fur
Their appeal to the supreme court of the
United States, but Mr.. Mccormick to-
day received a telegram that informed
him that the company had failed to
perfect it's appeal and that the time in
which it could do so had expired
This means, in all probabilit that
Mr.. McCormick's title to the land will
no longer be disputed and that he will
enjoy full and free possession. of the
land for which he has made such a
long and stubborn fight. He is natur-
ally well pleased with the final resul:
of this long litigation and his Missoula
friends will rejoice with him in the
outcome.

GREATEST OF THE YEAR.
Strike in the Evolution Mine Is of the
Richest Nature.

strike in the Evolution Mine Is of the
Richest Nature.
Special Correspondence of the Standard
Wallace. Idaho, Dec. 4.-The strike
made on the Evolution last week prom
ises to be one of the greatest of the
year, although it is not so extensive
as some reports have made it. The
Standards correspondent visited it
yesterday, at which time the shaft was
about is feet in ore The ledge was cut
in the crosscut tunnel while doing as
sessment work years ago, but there
was no ore Of consequence where it
was crossed. At that place it was over
IS feet between walls. Recently a drift
was started about the middle of the
vein, running westward, but more
northerly than the course of the vein,
so that it will cut the north or foot
wall in 100 feet or less. 1t was in this
drift that ore was found. At the time
Of this visit the whole face. of the drift
was in ore, with ore showing on both
walls. The ore varies greatly in char
acter. Some of it is apparently a pure
oxide of iron, some is iron oxide filled
with crystallized lead some of it is ga
lena and still more is pyrites Of iron.
Assays showed good values in lead and
silver. but it was not tested for gold.
This is odd in view of the fact that
on the surface above there have been
numerous assays running from $3.50
to s110 in gold. In addition to this is the
fact that nearly all Of the lodges in the
Occur d'Alene silver-lead belt show
small quantities Of gold near the sur
face where there is much iron, and in
the particular region surrounding the
Evolution there is an unusual amount
of gold some rock there having been
mined at a profit for the gold which it
carried. The claim is owned by A. J..
Prichard, the discoverer of gold in the
Occur d'Alenes in 1883. He located
this claim in 1885 and has been the sole
owner ever since.

Editor Graphic:
The old soldiers club met with C.
q Hatch en- Feb. 8. Although the
day was> bitter cold, about 80 COM
l'ades and neighbors came together to
enjoy the hospitality of he and his
family. We had the pleasure of max
ing some new acquaintance and re-
newing old ties with some we had
known for long time. After 4 splen-
did diuner the afternoon was spent in
entertaining with Instrumental and
vocal music. Miss Vedder presided at
the organ and COmrade Shannon led
the singing. Altogether it WAS one OF
the most enjoy able days it has been
our pleasure to pass in long time.
Comrade Gibson was present and gave
us an interesting account of the break
ing up of Andersonville prison. Com
rade Hatch served two enIistments
during the war the last one in Co D.
18th Illinois. Cav. He came to Kan
sas 1873 and has hoporably represen-

Club Notes.

A good attendance At the Woman
club Wednesday made the meeting un-
usually interesting. One woman said
she had not known how much the club
was to her until the recent cold wealth
er had deprived her of it.
The Whittier program rs published
in last weeks paper was carried out
with two exceptions.
Mrs. Cormack read perhaps the most
beautiful of selections from the Quak-
err poet:
We shape ourselves tho Joy or fear
OF which the coming life is made,
And fill our futures atmosphere
With sunshine or with shade.
The tissue of the life to be
We weave with coIOrs all our own:
And in the field of destiny
We reap as we have sown.
Still shall the soul around it call
The shadows which it gathered here:
And, painted on the eternal wall,
The past shall reappear.
Think We the notes of holy song
On Milton's tuneful ear have died?
Think We that Raphael's angel throng
Have vanished from his side?
Oh, no, we live our life again:
Or warmly touched. or coldly dim,
The pictures of the past remain
Mans work shall follow him.
After reading .'My Birthday and
my Psalm, two selections which
contain much of Winters beautiful
religion. one women asked how we
could make application of it, philos-
ophy in solving the problems OF every
day life. The discussion thasfollowed
WAS u season of spiritual uplift that
made the meeting one to be long re-
membered. Next Wednesday is the
mothers meeting and a cordial invi-
tation is extended to every woman in
Kinsley. The first Wednesday in
March the usual miscellaneous prog
ram will be in order. The second
Wednesday in March a study will be
made Of James q. Holland.

A pretty good fish story comes from
our Florida delegation. The two gen
tlemen went out at night to spear fish,
and one of the ladies went along to
hold the reflector light. 1t was found
that, owing to the recent disturbed
condition of the weather, the water
was Opaque. 1t was noticed however
that the fish, attracted by the light,
kept striking against the boat, so the
gentlemen tipped the boat until the
side was nearly level with the water
and held the light on that side and
five fish jumped into the boat, one of
which struck the landren and put it
out. If the lantren had not been ex-
tinguished, it is quite probable that
the boat would have been swamped by
the fish in their wild flight to get next
to the light. The story may seem i'm
probable to some, but the writer can
vouch for its accuracy as he saw the
man who told him about it.
