Shot In the Side at Short Range

Particulars of the shooting Of Supt. F.
c. Cam pbell of the Fort Shaw Indian
school were received yesterday. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Campbell, Rev. F. w.
Poole of Helena, and e. L. Parker, asssis-
tant superintendent of the school, were
hunting along the river, Mr.. Campbell
having a single barrel shot gun, and Mr.
Poole, double barrel.
Their Cog, a pointer, ran into the tim
Der along the river, and soon came out
with an angry steer chasing him. He
ran toward Messrs, Campbell and Poole
who were standing near together, and
the steer then charged upon Mr.. Camp
bell Both men raised their guns to fire
but Mr.. Campbell, fearing that his light
charge would only infuriate the steer
turned and ran for the timber along the
river. Just as he reached the under
brush, he fell, falling into a slight de
preston. Mr.. Poole saw that the steer
was about to gore Mr.. Campbell and al
once shot at the animal just then Mr.
Campbell raised himself partly above
the depression and part Of the charge
struck him, the rest striking the steer
and driving the animal away.
Mr.. Campbell was struck in the mus
cles of the breast, the shot passing down
ward and not entering the body further
than the flesh The wound had an ugly
appearance, the flesh being badly torr
and blood flowing freely, and was very
painful.
All three in the party were badly
frightened for time, but DIR. Heidel
mann, the surgeon Of the school, was
hastily summoned and found that the
wound was not serious.
Mr.. Campbell vas resting easy yester
day, and it is expected that he will soor
| recover.
When the shot was fired Mr Campbell
and Mr.. Poole were about Is feet apart

rs THIRSTING FOR GORE.
Mclaughlin Wants to Fight the
Beers.

George B. Mclaughlin. formerly of
Great Falls, ex-sheriff of Choteau county
and ex Indian agent of the Blackfoot
agency, has been heard from again. 1t
will be remembered that George, to-
gether with few kindred spirits, drifted
northward about two years ago, purpos-
ing to enter the KIondike gold fields by
way of the Edmonton "back door, route.
Finding the back door rather difficult to
entor, the party scattered, disbanded,
and it was reported that Mclaughlin
had succumbed to the hardshiLs through
which the party was compelled to pass.
His friends mourned him as one dead
until about a month ago, when he drop
ped in upon the good people of Edmon-
ton, slightly disfigured, but still able to
furnish 'copy'' on the privations be. had
endured ana the country he had gone
through. Tne second time he is heard
from as thirsting for the gore OF South
African Beers. He wants blood, and to
get it wished to enlist il the Canadian
contingent which goes to South Africa
as soldiers of the queen. Georges
friends il this city need not feel alarmed
over the matter, however, as he is not
going he was found to be over weight
This will be good news in two ways; first
| that George is not going where he would
| be compelled to act as an animated tar
get for Dom Paul's marksmen; and
second, that the fact of his having been
| found to be over weight would indicate
that he must be eating regularly and
recovering rapidly from his back door
route experience. The Edmonton Bull
eton of the 9TH, in giving a wo-column
account of an all-night enthusiastic send
off which the citizens of that place gave
their gallant soldier volunteers on the
eve of their departure for Calgary, says
that among the men who were lifted tt
the speakers platform and given an ova
ton, such as only can be given under
certain circumstances, at p. m. was "aI
American of the right stuff, George B
Mclaughlin an Ameri can, who had beer
refused on account of his weight. Al
he said, the only job ne had ever applied
for that he was too big to fill."-Great
Falls Cor. Standard.

Reservation Taxes.

Judge Knowles has signed a degree
giving judgment to Custer county for
S2,727 against w. J. Anderson, a wealthy
cattleman, who had grazed cattle within
the geographical limits of Custer county.
A recent decision OF the United States
circuit court of appeals made it seem
probable that there was no hope for the
contestants against the payment, and a
settlement VS. effected accordingly.
For many years the owners of cattle on
the reservation resisted the jurisdiction
of the comfy to collect taxes, claiming
that the reservation was within the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the government of
the United States. The taxes had been
assessed ever since 1857. Many thou
sands of dollars, therefore, depended up
on the outcome of the test case institut-
ed and the county has pushed the action
vigorously.
| Two years age Judge Knowles sus-
tanned demurrer, holding that the state
did not have jurisdiction. The county
appealed and the circuit court reversed
the lower court and sent the case back
for trial, Owing to the terms of the de-
ci8ion. the defendants expressed will
ingness to settle. The original suit was
for So, 100, and the settlement was effect
ed for $2,727.
Custer has collected nearly $4,000
since the suits were begun. Twelve
cases have been settled aud 10 remain
Independent.

TETEY,DTSAPPEARED.
EIore Details OF the Flight Of the
CURRY Brothers,

Great iFalle, Jan Il. A few moro par
ticulars Of the Eight of the Curry bro
thors froy@ Harlem, as told in dispatch
to the Standard from Harlem OF the 9th
inst 1t appears that about six weeks
ago the Curry brothers R. e. and
Louis, who are well known in Northern
Montana, and rau saloon at Harlem,
SEM several hundred dollars in mutilat-
ed bills of the First National bank of
Portland to the Stoczman's bank of
Benton. The lover right hand corner
Of the bills where the signature of the
bank president should be, had been torn
off, and as usual in such cases the cur
rency was sent to the bank of issue at
Portland for redemption. The latter at
once reported the matter to the Pinker-
ton agency, as It was thought that the
bills presented for redemption formed part
OF the plunder secured in a successful
train robbery near Rock Creek, Wyo., on
June 2 Of last year. The mum ers of
the stolen bills were known to the Port
ldlINt oItlh, SLlEI tLIOSC plOoJllbCl LOI l6-
demption by the Curry brothers were on
the list. About Sl00 or more in dam
aged currency was also cashed by the
Cascade bank of this city. A Pinkerton
man visited Harlem, and whether the
{ urrys got wind of his business or not is
not known. At any rate, they suddenly
sold their saloon business to George r.
Ringwald of this city and left the coun
try overland, as told in the Standard
special mentioned. So far search for
them has been unavailing. While it is
not actually charged, at present, at least,
that the Curry boys were active par
1 Elephants in the Wyoming train robbery
Of last June, their possession of
some of the stolen plunder has sus-
picious appearance. The total haul
secured in the holdup is about $4,000,
and the bandits have so far eluded
arrest. The Union Pacific railroad and
the Pacific Express company jointly Of
fered a reward Of So 900 per head for
the robbers, dead or alive, and the
i United States authorities also offer an
additional $1,000 per head, making re
ward of $1,000 for each of the robbers
The railroad and express officials report
that six men were in the gang that com
mitted the robbery.
The name OF Curry will be we'll re
membered by residents of this section as
being the leaders in some trouble at
Landusky couple of years ago, in which
"Jew Jake" managed to stand them and
their friends off one night and shot one
of the party, who were trying to run him
out of the country.-Anaconda Standard

GREAT NORTHERN STfsIK e.
Minneapolis Hears That 1t Is
Sure Thing.

Minneapolis, Jan. l5.-The poll of the
entire Great Northern system on the
question whether the trainmen should
reject the company's schedule was talk
en- Yesterday. The leaders are confident
it will be practically unanimous in favor
of rejection. 1t was taken at. the re-
quest Of the company's officials, who
profess to believe that the sentiment of
the trainmen was not behind their
grievance committed The men do not
s.want to strike, but prefer that rather
than to retreat from the position they
have taken One OF the leaders said
there was no doubt about the co-opera-
ton of the fireman and engineers, if it is
necessary. They think President Hill
has been misled by his subordinate
officials into false position They pro
,fess good will toward the management.
Minot, N. D., Jan. 15.-A strike OF
serous proportions is threatened by the
freight operatives Oh the Great Northern.
Last night, at an informal meeting OF

WESTERN RANGE CATTLE.
The Years Business Was in Many
Respects Satisfactory.

Arrivals of western cattle during the
past season we're 183,700 head against
1875, ,546 in 1898, says the Chicago Live
Stock Redorter. The supply was the
smallest since 1889, when only 1896
were received. In many respects the
years business has been satisfactory.
Prices have been exceptionally good and
show the highest range since 1891 and
with few exceptions the highest in over
20 years. 1t is generally conceded that
prices this year show al increase of from
S. to ST per head more than last year,
which, in the aggregate, means over
S1,00O,O00 more for the northwestern
ranchmen. Steers ranged in price from
$3.50 to 500, only comparatively few
tailings and feeders selling below 81,
while the bulk of the beef steers brought
S4.35 to S4.75, the average price being
about S4.60. In point of quality the cat
tie did not show much provement
over previous years.
The past winter on the open range was
usually severe, and most of the cattle
whose feed was not supplemented with
hay came through in poor condition,
The number of western range cattle
inspected at Chicago included the fol
lowing: From Montana, 1O5,OGO; South
Dakota, 10000; North Dakota, 10000
Wyoming, 11,500; total, 1892O0.

Cowpunchers for the oers.

Minneapolis, Jan. 13.-John G. Maher,
a we'll known cattlenan of Chadron, Neb.,
is here, en- route to New York. He says
he has raised a regiment of 1000 COW
punchers and plainsmen to 60 to South
Africa and help the Beers. The trans
portation will cost 1920 per man and the
money has been pledged in New York,
Chicago aud Omaha. He is on his way
to find out how far the pledges can be
realized on before getting the men to-
gether. The plan, he,says, is to embark
them as emigrants to the Transvaal' and
thus escape federal interference. He
denies that it is an Irish regiment, a
number of nationalities being represent
ed. The men are all accomplished rough
riders and crack shots.

McC0y Again Wins.

Kid Mccoy was given the decision
over Joe Choynsl<i, at the Broadway N.
Y, Athletic club, last Friday night, in a
three round contest. In the second,
Choynski knocked the Kid down tour
times. and Mccoy strictly speaking
should have been counted out,
but the timekeeper pulled the bell as
the limit of 10 seconds was being count
ed, and the referee ordered The men to
keep up the fight In the third round
things were badly mixed. but Mccoy
landed on Choyhski's jaw, with such tell
ing effect that he was unable to respond
to the call for the fourth round, and his
second threw up the sponge. giving
Mccoy the victory. During the mill, a
spectator fell dead from excitement.

From New Orleans to Florida.
FOR THE ACANTHA.

Wv LII ANfA4N La
Arriving at New Orleans, we took
street car as far as it went, six miles and
half, in order to get in idea of the lay
of the city. We passed Audubon Park
also the statues of Henry Clay, and Gen.
Lee. In 1721 there were but 200 in
habitants, in the city, in 1924 the first
church was built on the ground where
now stands st. Louis Cathedral, which
faces the statue of Gen. jackson. This
stat ne has been surrounded by beauti-
full park, since my visit here, forty years
ago. Our next point of destination was
Nlomaton, Ala, and we found that the
railroad passes over great deal of water
it sometimes appearing as though we
were going out into the Gulf During
this stage of our journey we saw many
range cattle, and they looked we'll. The
grass looked better than any have seen
since ] left Montana, but upon close in
spection, much OF it proved to be wire
grass; yet cattle and sheep Craze upon it
the year round, without other feed The
country along the railroad is we'll timber
ed, principally pine, with oak here and
there. Flomaton is forty miles from
Pensacola. Land can be bought here at
from three to ten dollars per acre accord
ing to the improvements upon it. 1t is
high and rolling and continues so all the
way, to Pensacola, Many farms dot the
way most OF them set in pears. Pen
sacola has twenty thousand population,
two thirds being colored, yet was told
that there is no antagonism Or race preju-
dice perceptible. We saw men unload
ing a ''smack" loaded with red fish,
which were all of about the same size OF
ten pounds weight. They are delicious
for table use. There is q good harbor
