THEY WANT LAND,
Italians Who Have Eyes On Crow
Reservation.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Instead of boarding their savings
against the time when they may re-
turn east with sufficient wealth to en-
able them to become the possessors
of push carts and engage in the bust
ness of ambulatory merchants with
the s%ucculent "banan' as their stock
in trade, some of the many Italians
employed by the Northern Pacific at
Bull Mountain, have other ambitions.
The want to become land holders.
Thirteen of them appeared before
the clerk of the district court yester-
day morning and through an interpret
er signified their desire of making de-
claratory statements of intention to
become citizens. They did not seem
animated SO much by the wish to fore
swear allegiance to the king of Italy
as by the commendable desire to own
land, some of the broad acres that,
Uncle Sam says all who acknowledge
him as their ruler may have. The
land that tempts them is as yet not
open to settlement, but they are hope
full that it will be sometime. They
have seen enough of the northern por-
ton of the Crow reservation to con
vince them that it is just about what
they want, and in order that they
may be qualified to file on some of it
have taken the first steps toward cit
izenship, at least so they said to the
clerk.

Professor T~raphagen investigating
Cause of Death Of Cattle.

SdOoC W ~S~ .
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Professor Traphagen Of the state
agricultural college, whose arrival In
the city was noted in The Gazette, re-
turned to Bozeman, yesterday.
To a representative of this paper he
said his visit had been for the purpose
of making an examination into the
cause Of the death of a number of cat
tie belonging to Ed. Cardwell, who
has lost about 80 head during the past
year, all of which died from some ap-
parently mysterious ailment. While
not prepared to speak positively, the
professor said he was satisfied that
the animals had died from the effects
of water which they drank on MI.
Cardwell's feeding ranch, several
miles west of the city. The fact that
about all that died had been kept on
one particular quarter section, on
which a we'll is situated, caused him
to be all the more firmly convinced of
the correctness of his judgment Pro
fessor Traphagen took with him a
sample of the water for analysis,
which he said contained a large
amount of alkali, as he ascertained
by a partial analysis made on the
farm.
In speaking of the presence of alkali
in the soil and water of this portion of
the valley the professor said that in
his opinion the worst had passed. He
s%aidthatthe drain ditch dug around the
city and the system of irrigating
bitches which traverse the valley
were all important contributing fac
tors in the change constantly going on.
They carried off immense quantities
of the mineral daily and to- that ex-
tent we're freeing the soil
Of its presence. He said that
he had noticed a great
improvement in this regard during
the time which has elapsed since his
first visit, about five years ago, and
the present time. With the extension
of irrigation and cultivation in the
valley he believed the time was COM
ing when much of the soil now badly
handicapped in that respect would be
found to be virtually free of alkali.
Of course, the change would be grad
ual, but none the less certain.

JUST HOW IT HAPPENED.
M
Major Shove Tells All About MEETING
the Prince.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette,
Minneapolis Journal: Major G. B.
Shove, of Governor Van SAINTS staff,
has returned from Milwaukee with the
only correct and duly authorized YER
sion of the governors meeting with
Prince Henry. His story is this:
"Yes, the governor did fetch the
prince to us. We were standing here,
the governor was standing there. the
German singing societies were farther
down the line-well there was a line
about 20 feet long, maybe longer. The
prince deigned to notice us all of a
sudden, and he whispered to Admiral
Bob Evans. That facetious old sea
dog told the prince that we represent
ed the great state of Minnesota. a
state that showed, in miniature, every
thing in the United States. That
woke the prince up and he asked to
be presented to us. When he made
his wishes known to Governor Van
SAINT, that d%ignitary, over-joyed at the
honor conferred on Minnesota, made
haste to comply with the. princes de-
sire. Come right along, Mr.. Prince
said he in the exuberance of the mo-
ment. TIL introduce you to some
mighty good fellows
"Well say, talk about a a being
tickled. The prince was ready to
burst at the governors lack of formal
ity. 1t was the first real democratic
touch he had experienced, and he en-
joyed it. Why, he's a royal good fell
low; a prince, every inch of him, and
he doesn't put on any airs.
prince Henry talked tous in broken
English for a few minutes, but when
he accosted the singing societies. he
was right at home, I'll tell you"

County Attorney Charges Mrs. Circuit
With Murder.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Mrs. Circuit will appear in a justice
court on the charge of killing her hus-
band. That fact was made known
yesterday afternoon when County At
torney Hathhorn filed a complaint
against her in Judge Fraser's court.
If anything e in connection with
the case has developed since the cor
oner's inquest the authorities have
not made it known to anyone. The Of
fcers, however, have made considera-
BILE inquiry since as to the killing and
may possibly present evidence not
brought out at the inquest.
A week has past since C. H. Circuit
during one of his drunken orgies met
death at his home at the hands of the
woman he had promised only a few
months ago to love and protect. In
terest in the case has not subsidized
since. Circuit while earning as much
as $40 a week as a mechanic was bur-
led as a pauper at the expense Of the
county. In other parts Of the state
where he was known the newspapers
do not speak of the dead in a very re-
spectful manner and Mrs. Orcut may
have committed the deed under great
provocation' as the coroner's jury
found in its verdict.
Unless the states attorney finds no
material difference in the evidence
he now has to submit to the court in
Mrs. CIRCUITS preliminary examination
he will likely for her dismissal
from csutody.

CASE or MISREPRESENTATION.
White Girl Takes chinaman for Her
Husband. ~

Husband. ~
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Helena newspapers contain a brief
account of a case of miscegenation in
which the parties are residents of this
city, the groom a Chinaman and the
bride a white girl. The latter is only
16 years of age, but had her mothers
consent, in fact the mother was pres
ent when the application for the neces-
sary license was made so that there
might be no hitch in the proceedings.
Sue Song is the name of the man
and the girls was Lillian Moran. He
is a tailor on the south side and she
has been more or less prominent be-
cause of her appearance in court on
the charge of waywardness. The last
time she appeared was last fall, when
she was cited to stand examination
for commitment to the reform school.
A continuance was granted until the
next day, but Lillian turned up missing
and it developed that with her moth
er's connivance she had left the city.
OF course, this ended the matter for
the time and nothing more was heard
of the girl until the announcement
was received from Helena yesterday
that she had married Sue the day be-
fore.
Mr.. and Mrs. Song will make their
home in the real of the husbands
tailoring establishment in Minnesota
avenue. Songs countrymen are not
ignorant of his wife's history and re-
fuse to say anything concerning his
marriage.

Mr.. Doran enlisted at the breaking out
of the war, but shortly after going to
the South was stricken with pneumonia
and for several days was at the point
of death. In 1862 he was discharged be-
cause the surgeons believed his lungs to
be diseased and that he was unfit for
military service 1t was with sorrow
that Mr.. Doran received his discharge for
he was anxious to take part in the great
struggle which was going on. He re-
allied that the fight was to be a great
one, and was to settle forever a mighty
problem, and the same patriotic spirit
that led him to enlist also caused him to
desire to continue in the conflict until it
was definitely settled. But the ~ecision
of the regimentai surgeon was final and
he accepted his discharge in as good
grace as it was possible for him to
command.
When he received his discharge he did
not go North, however, as it happened
that his brother was i'll near Oxford,
Miss. and he secured permission to go
and nurse him. Before the brother be
came sufficiently convalescent to be re-
moved, the maneuvers of the rebel army
compelled a change in the position of
the Union forces and Mr.. Doran was
left with his brother aid another soldier
who was also on the sick list. The next
day the rebels were on the ground and
the men were captured. The soldier and

He remained in Jackson about six
weeks and then a favorable opportunity
to escape presented itself and he left
the rebel prison. He started out into the
Wilderness, heading toward the South,
hoping to reach the Union forces sta
