There is special agent Of the Indian
department at Browning taking evidence

The boys at Browning are clearing and

Many people are gong to Fort Sha "

The great steel bridge over Cut Bank
will be tested in a week or 50 by coup
ling several Of the heaviest engines to-
gether, and sending them slowly across
with no one on them. An engineer will
be on the opposite side TO catch them
Hhen they have made the run.
1t would be good idea for some one
To 60 out on the range in this vicinity
with rifle, and execute a few of the
NANCY cattle which have drifted this
way from across the line. They are
scabby from horns to hoofs and by con-
stantly rubbing on telegraph poles, are
bound to inoculate every other animal
which comes in contact with objects
they may have been against.
Joseph Kipp went to Swift Current
aud st Mary's Thursday and had an
odometer attached to his vehicle for the

ment Of the distance.
A democrat whose hair evidently was
suff 9rln3 with al attack of cramps,
made the assertion in the KipD post
Office last week that money was scarce,
and that there were mare idle men in The
United States at present than at any
time for years. A com mercial traveller
over hearing this remark called him
down by saying, that although he was
democrat himself, his observations
throughout the country compelled him
to deny any such allegation, and he did
not have TO do much talking to sell goods
DOW days. He also said it was hard to
tina an idle man outside of the genus
hobo, who wouldn't work under any cir
cumstaac3s; that he hoped for a con
tinuence OF the present good times, and
should cast his vote in favor OF the party
which had brought prosperity to the
people.
A real arteisian flowing well has cen
struck at Browning. Workmen were
digging well near Mrs. William Sam
pies new home which is built on high
ground at the agency, vhnn the man
with the spade, at depth of seventeen
feet struck a remarkable flow of very
cold water of excellent quality. So
rapidly cid it rise that the laborer could
not get out until it was up to his neck,
and now the well is full to the top and
fine stream is running away from it in a
ditch which has been dug. Hundreds
visit the gusher every day, and all de-
light in refreshing themselves by drink
ing from the ice cold water flowing over
its brink.
The Great Northern has concluded to
En4C -r|cri.,, !
viii go down thousand feet il necessary
to obtain good flow, in order to obviate
the difficulty OF pumping it from Gil
hams springs. Willow creek is nearly
dry, and the company is having much
trouble in obtaining an adequate supply
for round house aud watering purposes
at Dlackfoot.
1t is sad 10 read of the parched,
drouth stricken portion of Montana
lying in the eastern part OF the state,
when every thing is foulishing like
green bay tree here. Never before have
we seen such grass at present and the
gardens are booking fac.
We had SO. OF an inch Of rain on the
18th, .04 on the end, 0 SO on the 23rd,
and 0.30 on the Gath making about 12f
inches in the past week, which, with the
Very warm weather has kept every thing
FRESH, ana growing in fac shape. Hay
ing vii probably commence earlier than
usual, and there viii be no excuse for
tnE one being ehort Of feed next winter.
