DAMAGE BY FLOOD.
Roads and Bridges Washed Out All Over
Northern Montana.

ureat Falls, Feb. 2o.-Reports of ris-
ing water and badly swollen streams
continue to reach this city. On the
road from this city to Sand Coulee two
small bridges near Gibson's ranch are
reported washed out and the road is
said to be covered with water between
that ranch and Leach's. Other por-
tons of the road are said to be in bad
shape and the y miles requires about a
day to traverse.
In the town of Sand Coulee the snow
has melted so rapidly that about one
half of the town is covered with water
and boats are more useful as a mode
Of travel than buggies.
A telephone message from Belt this
morning stated that where the Belt
road crosses the Box Elder coulee the
bridge is gone and the fiat is dan
gerous ford. A pair of horses was
drowned there this morning, the driver
fortunately escaping. The name of the
latter is not given. 1t is thought that
he must have started to ford the
stream and when he reached the place
where the bridge formerly existed and
which is about 10 feet deeper than the
rest of the road the horses went into
the narrow cut and We're swept into
the barbed wire fence a few feet below
The stage was unable to make the trip
and passengers for Lewistown must
now take the train to Belt and proceed
from that point.

FIGHT WITH MOUNTAIN LION.
Peter Runyan Bravely Attacks the Beast
With His dubbed Gun.


Great Falls, Feb. 20.-Rev. J. HI. Lit
tie of Cascade is in the city and has a
mountain lion story to tell which
eclipses all records up to date. 1t APP
pears that this brute visited the sheep
sheds of Ellis & Runyan, which are
located between the mouths of Govern
ment and East Hound creeks and there
met its death at the hands of a brave
man, Peter Runyan. 1t made its first
visit on the night of the 14th-last
Tuesday, and it carried away or killed
some 26 head of sheep. Enjoying the
sport it returned the following night,
but contented itself with nine sheep.
This love of mutton was becoming ex
pensive to the owners of the band and
thereafter Mr. Runyan slept in the
vicinity of the fold and laid for the
varmint with shotgun. Friday night
the lion made its third visit, and this
time had succeeded in killing one sheep,
when Runyan took a hand in the game.
He fired the contents of the shotgun
into the animal, but finding that it had
but little effect, he went bravely to the
attack and beat the snarling beast over
the head with the gun, bending the
barrels double. Fortunately the first
shot had weakened the lion sufficiently
to make him defenseless and the blows
soon put an end to him. Then Mr..
Runyan dragged the body out into the
light and measured it. Eight feet and
three inches over all was the length,
and it is fine specimen of it's kind.
Formerly mountain lions were seen
quite often in this vicinity, but it has
been many years since one has been
known to come down from the noun
tains and attack animals in the vicinity
of ranch house. They are ferocious,
particularly when cornered, and the
courage exhibited by the slayer is phe-
nomenal

Imperialists Sowing the Wind.

From the Grand Rapids Democrat,
The public has reason to be suspicious
of the marked tendency toward usurpa-
ton of power by the present executive
administration and toward wanton disre-

through their lawful representatives. The
McKinleyites are sowing the wind of an
archy in their disregard OF law and es-
tabIished precedent. The whirlwind will

Chicago February 10.-Discouragine

demand caused good deal of long
wheat to be unloaded on the market
and May left off at a decline Of 78Dlc.
Corn gained 3sc and oats are a shade
higher. Pork and lard declined so
l72c each, and ribs 21aG5c
The Liverpool wheat market quoted
declines of 1s03sd before trading com
menced here, and Argentina reported
having shipped $4,000 bushels OF
wheat this week. Under such inf1u-
ences the market here was weak at the
start, May opening hose lower at
l21S G73c, with more sellers than buy
ers at the bottom figure. Chicago re-
ceived II cars, of when seven were
graded contract. Minneapolis and
Duluth get 275 cars, compared with
1856 the corresponding day Of last year.
The returns of seaboard clearances oil
wheat and -four gave early promise
that they would be heavy and that
tended to support the market for
time without, however, adding to the
price. After half an hour CT fluctua-
tons measured by &c range, the
price Of May gradually improved to
73bc, and had scarcely reached that
point before it began to tumble back
to 73c Reports from the stock taking
centres indicated little change in the
visible either way. Western primary
markets received only 395 900 bushels.

wheat and flour were large, amounting
to 900 bushels On the other hand,

shipping orders except of meTest re-
tail kind. There were several rapid
fluctuations between 73c and 1850, bu;
near the end undertaking by interests
which have recently been good buyers.
May sank until 72bc was reached, and
at the close there were sellers at 1872
@725sc
Moderate receipts and the CROWNS
conviction that they will remain so
permanently strengthened corn. Coun-
try offerings were light and buying in
the pit was of a good character. Re-
ceipts were asa cars. May opened 1kc
lower at 363s@36a4c, sold sparingIy at
363sc, rose to 37Hc, then eaSed off to
36B buyers, the closing price.
Improvement in the cash demand
There was a good speculative demand
by commission houses and the market
rallied sharply at one time but eased
off on liquidation of long property.
Receipts, 1SS cars. May began so
Ac lower at 2S1s @2S14c, advanced to
2S%c, then sold down to 28$s 02S1bc

Owing to the small run of hogs, pro-
visions started fairly firm. The mar
ket soon became weak, however, from
the lack of support, and scattered SELL
ing of pork and ribs forced decline
all around. May pork opened 215c
higher at SOLO, rose to s10.1215. de-
clined to S1010, and closed at S101O1a.
The range in lard and ribs was of lit
tie consequence.
