Reports from the lambing camps
are most encouraging. Unless the
storm Of the past few days has been
the cause Of losses 1t is believed that
the percentage OF lambs saved will
be greater than for many years. Be-
fore the rain began news was receiv-
ed from some Of the camps that every
lamb dropped so far had been saved,
while others reporteds loses so small
as not to be worth considering. A
popularity Of the season is the large
number of ewes giving birth to twins
and the hardness OF the lambs, but
few of which die.
Sheriff Hubbard returned this morn
ing from Deer Lodge, where he had
been with Harry Lennox, the last Of
the two men convicted of plundering
a Northern Pacific freight ear 1t
was his intention to remain a day or
SO at Butte, but the brand Of weather
he encountered there was not attuneds
to his. summer raiment and he hur-
ried home as fast as he could. The
rain in these parts took the form of
snow in the mountains and according
to Mr.. Hubbard it was hard to realize
that it was not January instead Of
May after crossing the range at Liv-
ingston.

Complaints have already been heard
concerning the presence of the large
number of dead cattle which mark the
trail Of the herds unloaded here dur
ing the recent storm. Unless buried
or otherwise disposed of soon the de-
caying will become a men
ace to public health and convenience.
Some parties called the attention of
the county attorney to the matter this
morning and it is understood that he
has caused notice to be given to the
owners of the dead stock to bury it
at once. 1t is now estimated that no
fewer than 1000 to 1900 are
scattered along the road and in pas
lures between here and Junction.
Miss Sophia Hoe and Mrs. LEILA
Dunnigan were examined as to their
sanity yesterday afternoon. Chair
man Parker of the board Of county
commissioners presided over both
commissions, assisted by Drs. Lind
sey and Rinehart in the one and by
Drs. Baxter and Armstrong in the
other. The examination of Miss Hoe
developed that she was given to hal
fluctuations, illusions and occasional
attacks Of violence. In the case of
Mrs. Dunnigan the testimony showed
her to be given to peculiarities Of ac-
tions and that she was suspicious Of
her relatives and seemed to think
they were bent upon doing her harm.
Both were ordered committed to this
asylum. Under Sheriff Sayles, as
sisted by the father of Miss Hoe, left
for Warm Springs with the two un-
fortunates this morning.
