Fourth cavalry arrived in this city
from the park, en- route to Manila.
They were in command Of Captain Will
der and consisted of 200 men besides
the captain and Lieutenant Cress, who
is acting commissary sergeant of the
command They left here this evening
about Z o'clock, the train which took
them out of this city consisting of six
colonist sleepers, one coach for officers,
five cars of baggage and eight stock
cars loaded with horses. The three en-
gines attached to the train to pull It up
the hill west of town were III ckal ge
Of Engineers Keaney, Clough and Geer
and Conductor Mcbride had charge Ct
the train. They will go to San Fran
cisco by way of Portland, reaching
their destination in about six days
from the time of leaving. After a two
weeks stop in Frisco they will sail for
Manila to relieve the volunteers troops.
About four-fifth of the command are
raw recruits, who have been brought
here from the East within the last few
weeks. Six troops of the regiment are
now in Manila. and four troops are
waiting at San Francisco to join the
men who left here to-day in the jour
ney to the Philippines. The two troops
have been in the park two years lack
ing few. days. They had a beautiful
saber, which will be presented to their
former commander in the park, Captain
Irwin, who is now in San Francisco,
and holds the rank of regimental adju-
tant. Three members of III troop were
left in the park at the outpost on
Snake river. The distance from Fort
Yellowstone to this place is over 100
miles, and the men could not get in
when the troops were ready to leave
on account of the deep snow. A boun-
ty of 81. so is offered for recruits at Ma
Mia, and part of the men who left the
park will get this, their time of enlist
ment being up about the time they ar

This afternoon Marshal Nelson jailed
two men who gave their names as Al

had satchel full of cutlery, which

tuted a search for a recent burglary
by telephone and telegraph. Sheriff
Young called up Missoula and the sher-

H. M. Snyder is in the city from Bear
gulch. where he is putting in the Eu-
reka process of saving gold in the
stamp mill at that place. 1t is a sort
of chemical gas which is mixed with
the ore In stamping and has an inf1u-
ence upon the mineral during treat
ment by the. -bles and vanners. He
said if the process worked well 1t would
double the dividends of the mill. 1t
does not succeed where there is much
arsenical iron ore and as there is con.
siderable of such ore at Bear gulch, it
may not meet with full measure of
success.
