|dF horse has been recovered. Last
Night it reappeared at Keene's corral,
coming from across the river. The
saddle marks on it's back showed that
it had been ridden by some one, pre-
sumably the man who took it the night

fellow was in a hurry to get to his
destination and helped himself to the
animal and after completing his jour

According to the game laws OF the
state the open season for sage hens
and turtle doves begins August l

turtle dove"
Conductor Martin, who for a Icing
time has been in charge of the Bill
ings-Red Lodge passenger train, to-

made to feel the uncertainty of tenure
which always attaches to such posi-

duty as usual and found a notice from
Superintendent Horn informing them
hat their services were no longer
required and that another crew would
take out the train. The notice came
as a surprise to the three men and
they have nc idea as to the cause of
their summary dismissal. No charges
have ever been preferred against
either of them and as far as they
know their records are clear. 1t was
expected that Mr.. Horn would arrive
from Livingston today, when the dis
charged men intended to ask for a
hearing.
