The coroner is usually the reporters

The news which is not common street

The abomination of all denominations

postponement loses it's value. Chief
among this class of items are the Sc

from the newspaper until the people
have gone away; business transac-

which the party of either part wants
to keep quiet for no particular reason.

WILL NEVER NEST AGAIN.

he was pilgrim. In all the years
of his life he had never been fortu-
nate enough to live where the bless
ings of sunshine and rain were so pro-
fuse as they are in the beautiful val
ley of the Flathead, of which Kalispell
is the county seat. The horrors of
high rent, with no bath, were all for
gotten when the season came for the
robins and the blue birds to nest
again. The birds came, secuted
around awhile, sized up the large and
commodious houses in the neighbor-
hood and finally picked out a corner
of the cottage in which the pilgrim
and his wife lived and on which the
rent had just been raised, and made
their nest. There was something do
ing in their line for few days. Feath-
ers, wool, leaves-any old thing was
passed in to make nest for the blue
boys and girls which were expected to
come.
It was talked over a few weeks af-
forwards by the man and his wife.
that the noise in the fiat overhead was
reaching the stage where it would
soon be necessary to call on the fire
department or raise the health off,
Ger.
But as they were cheerful noise
makers, the man and woman didn't
object so much. One night another
couple called to plight their troth Cd
the first floor of the cottage and the
man who posed as the boss of the
rancho, called their attention to the
chiruping of the little blue boys and
girls under the roof. This he did with
all the pardonable pride OF a man who
has just had a horse come in at 100
to and not yet cashed his ticket.
This man and his wife had never
been the owner of a cat or a dog. They
had tried to raise garden in beds, the
extent of which, -four by ten) had
seemed as large as an acre lot. The
neighbors, however, had several cats
and dogs whose principal business
seemed to be to come and dig up the
pilgrims garden.
This was allowed to pass, so long as
they left alone the family on the roof
the boarders in the top fiat who
made all the noise and paid no rent.
The cats. however, not being subject
to those game laws which are 80 strict
~ enforced in this county, in the still
hours of the hight swiped the mother
and father of the birds and with ma
lice aforethought did then carry them
to the kitchen of the neighbor and did
then and there eat them up.
There will be no proceedings
brought to recover damages. The
little blue birds had to die, because
they were without the warmth and
care Of their parents. but the pilgrim
and his wife are provided with butch.

FEROCloUs GRAY WOLVES.

Lib Vincent, one of Wyoming's
old-time COW punchers and now rid
ing on the Powder River ranges, says
that the gray wolves of his section
are legion in number and as fearless
as they are ferocious.
These gray and greedy scourges of
the Powder River stock areas do their
raiding in bands ranging in numbers
of from six to thirty, each band being
organized and disciplined under the
leadership of an old dog wolf especi-
ally chosen for his wariness, speed
and endurance. To this captain these
gaunt and grizzly marauders yield
an implicit and answering obedience,
statement evidenced from the fact
that If one of these wolf leaders is
slain or crippled his band at once am
algamates with some other troop pos.
sessing a leader of like capacity.
The age or size of their quarry is
of little moment to these wolves, as
they pull down and devour alike, cows
calves, steers, mares, colts and geld
ings. The attack is always strateg-
ical and systematic, one portion of
the band assaulting from the front and
and fastening onto the shoulder, ear
or muzzle, and thus giving the big
gray dogs who are ever closing in
from the rear the objective opportun-
ity of hamstringing the victim. Once
hamstrung it is all over with the quar-
ry and the entire band feasts at leis-
ure. Mr.. Vincent has often seen on
Powder River ranges the mere empty
hide and polished bones of what was
once lusty steer or polished gelding
the cattle fleeing from the pursuers
wolf band. The cattle herds are open
and easy prey to the canine bandits,
the cattle fleeing from the pursueris
and thus rendering individual attack
easy and successful. The horses, how
ever, with their superior intelligence
very frequently beat off the wolves by
forming on the open grounl an equine
square, with the mares and colts in
the center, the gallant stations on the
the corner and the best and bravest
geldtngs distributed on the outer lines
of the defense. Not only do these eq.
uine squares frequently beat of their
assailants but sometimes rout the
wild dogs entirely, staying numbers
OF them by striking. kicking and
tramping.

HOmeseeker Excursions Were
Well Patronized.
HEAVY CLOSING SALES
Exodus From Chicago This Week
Between 5000 and 1000.
Other Railroad News OF Local
and General Interest.

The cheap rates to California and 9th
er western and southwestern winter
health resorts closed this week About
the first of the year railroads running
west from Chicago inaugurated a sys-
tenn Of excursion rates, tickets to be Oh
sale the first and third Tuesdays of each
month. They were offered as a special
inducement to people desiring to spend
a. short time in California. The rate was
$25 from Missouri river points and $50
from Chicago. The extent to which these
excursions were patronized by people
everywhere can scarcely be realized by
those not brought into contact with the
handling of the traffic. On the dates Of
sale and on the Wednesdays following
those dates the roads had much diff
Guilty in handling the immense passen-
ger traffic.
None of the excursions, however. were
so well patronized as the last which was
given this week
Between 5000 and 1000 persons de-
parted from Chicago Tuesday for points
on the Pacific coast. It was the last
date for the sale of the $50 tickets from
here to the coast and the last crowds,
for there has been almost jam every
week
Il don't think an estimate of 1000
would be an exaggeration Of the move
ment out of this city Tuesday on the
last of the $50 California excursions, =
said a Chicago passenger agent of one
Of the larger systems. Il never saw any
thing like it. The crowds, however, were
somewhat of a surprise, as the railroad
people had figured tina the sudden
warm weather would stop the rush to
California and other coast states But
atmospherica1 conditions apparently did
not influence travellers. The rates have
been great money-makers for the rail-
roads, though they have served to con-
centrate to some extent the through
west bound travel to one day in every
week"
On nearly every road special trains
were required to handle the business.
The Santa Fe early in the day was

also operated over the Rock Island, Bur
