THAT STRANGE DISEASE.
Great Falls Doctor Speaks Of Sup.
posed Anthrax.

According to all the cat
tlemen Of Northern. Montana are
much worked up over the mysterious
disease which has broken out among
the deer and antelope of that part Of
the state and which is causing them
to die at such a rate that they are
threatened with determination in
the Little Rockies country. The dis
ease seems to cover an area Of many
miles in extent, as it appears to have
spread over the entire section Of
country 200 miles below Armells and
although it has been raging only for
about two weeks it seemingly has be-
come general among the wild animals
that Craze on the range in that terri
tory.
DR.. F. J. Adams, who left Great
Falls sometime ago On a hunting trip
down the Missouri and who returned
a few days ago, was n of the first
to report the existence Of the dis
ease. It was not until after he had
passed Armells on the down trip that
he saw evidences of the malady and
heard of it's terrible ravages. While
he and Us party saw only white tail
deer that had died of it, they were in
formed by settlers that the black tail
variety was not exempt, as many Of
them had also succumbed to it. A
peculiar feature of the disease is that
it seemingly attacks in it's most vir-
ulent form such Of the animals as are
in good condition.
DR.. Adams saw one of the deer
which had been killed cut open by
another party, but made only a cur
sorry examination of it. The animal
killed vas a doe and fat. In speaking
of the matter to a Great Falls report
er upon his return the doctor said:
II would not care to say what
brought about the death of the ami
NAL, without a complete postmortem
and analysis, further than to say it is
something of the anthrax nature, and
I believe should be looked into. The
milk of the animal examined was full
of puss and badly c%ongested, being
in clots; the tongue was black and the
lungs badly c%ongested; the other SYM
toms all indicated a toxic disease of
an infectious nature and according
to all reports, of great fatality. OF,
the two dead animals which we saw,
none of them seemed to have been
dead over two weeks and all Of them
seemed to have dropped very sudden
ly."

In Explanation.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
l notice in The Gazette of this date
under the head of local and person
al" two errors in the account Of the
Fred FREEMAN bankruptcy matter, one
being that this bank was sued for $16,-
900, and the other that We had con-
sented to pay the costs in the matter.
The facts are that we were sued for
81 500 or the value of the stock put
at $4,000, instead of $4,000 as you
stated. In regard to the matter Of
the costs, we have not consented, and
will not pay the costs, but have agreed
that we will not enforce our judg-
ment against the trustee in bank
ruptcy, and we only consented to this
for the reason that there was no way
of recovering on the Judgment, the
trustee having no property out Of
which the judgment could be made.
Very respectfully your,

Cashier Carbon County Bank.

REGARDED SIGNIFICANT.
Senator Clark Comes Down to Meet
President MelIen.

When a little incident which oc-
Cured in this city last Thursday aight
shall become known. those who have
been engaged in speculation and sur
mise concerning the railroad situa-
ton in the west as it relates to the
Morgan-Hill community of interests,
will have further material on which
to base their suggestions and predic-
tions.
Senator w. A. Clark, whose posi-
ton in the railroad world has become
almost as prominent of. late as that
which he has occupied in the mining
world, because of his earnest endeav-
ors to construct a road from lower
California into Salt Lake, was an ar
rival from the west on the night men
toned. He arrived shortly before mid
night and remained until the west
bound train arrived and with il Pres
ident Mellen of the Northern Pacific.
The senator Immediately boarded Mr..
Mellen's private car and occupied it
until Livingston was reached There
it was detached from the regular train
and proceeded on to the coast as a
special, the senator, it is said, going
along. Do
What the object of the meeting was.
even the "stove committee has been
unable to learn, but that it was of
more than ordinary Importance is
very evident, for had it been some
ordinary matter that the two gentle
men desired to discuss the senator is
not so fond of travelling but what he
would probably have waited until the
train was somewhere nearer to his
home. The further fact that he is
said to have accompanied Mellen on
to the coast is also significant of some
thing. AS The Gazette has not devot-
ed much Of it's energy to railroad
building of late, it is content to mere
ly announce the fact of the meeting Of
the two men and leaves the conjec-
tural part to the railroad editors Of
the larger newspapers, who are gen.
orally supposed to know everything
that is doing.

Conductor Who Is Alleged to Have
Smallpox.

Smallpox.
from Sundays Daily Gazette.
Conductor Martin of the Rocky
Fork train laid off several days last
week on account of sickness and again
resumed his run Tuesday of this
week. When he arrived in Red Lodge
says the Picket, County Physician
Kelley meeting him noticed that he
was broken out with smallpox, and
insisted on him going to the pest
house, but on the promise of Mr.. Mar
tin that he would keep out of the pas
senger coaches in his return trip he
was allowed to return to Billings, but
was instructed by DR.. Kelley that if
he returned here before the end of
the month he would have him confined
in the pest house. The conductor
considered discretion the better part
of valor, and now there's a new man
on the run.
