LIFE.

The poets exclamation 80 Life! l
feel thee bounding in my veins," is
joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu'
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be we'll and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties Of
tho day, and 20 retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands Of people, men and women,
we'll and strong, has accomplished .
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown, or
debilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to make it. 1t builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life,
aud makes life more abounding. We
are glad to say these words in its fa-
vcr to the readers Of our columns.

drew near, and general fusillade COM
mcnced. The leaders began to swerve
to the right or northward until the
course of the frantic animals had been
turned almost to right angle from
their original direction, and it looked
as if further danger from the canon
had been passed.
but we had not included the TOOL
Mexican in our calculations. Instead
of coming with the rest of the party,
he had evidently become confused. and
had worked around on the opposite
and wrong side of the leaders, and the
first thing we were aware of was the
crack. crack! crack! of his gun some
where on the other side of the leaders.
This attack on the part Of the 'greaser
counteractcd all our previous efforts.
The steers turned abruptly toward us
and straight toward the canon. We
were utterly powelless to stem the
tide of the maddcned brutes, and 1t
was nothing but sheer luck that pre-
vented half dozen of us from being
knocked down, horses and all, and
trampled to death.
"As soon as possible We got out Of
the thickest of the steers and followed
them toward the canon, which we knew
must be near at hand. The frequent
flashes of lightning still continued, and
we could see the scanty line of sage
brush not twenty rods in front of the
swiftly moving sea of surging steers.
On they went with fearful momentum,
flying, rcsstless mass. We reined
in our horses, and before they had
fully stopped the advance guard OF
steers had gone over The brink and dis
appeared. Over followed the others
by hundreds. until it seemed as if the
entire herd were doomed to destruction.
Fortunately. however, the greater bulk
of the steers seemed to scent the dan
Ger ahead and slackened their speed,
which gave some of those nearest to
the brink If Tie canon an orport unity

divided. a part going north and the
remainder south along the hank of the

Referees Decision in McIntire & Mid.
dleton Bankruptcy Case.

l Les.E
Referee Firth has submitted his
findings in the matter Of the bank
ruptcy proceedings in the case. of Nc
Intire & Middleton Of Miles City late
1y decreed bankrupts, and has given
copies to the attorneys who represent
ed the different parties at interest.
The findings are very full and some
thing over 5000 words were necessary
TO cover all the facts and express the
conclusions of the referee.
The principal creditors OF the de-
funct firm were the First National
and State National banks, both Of
Miles City. At the first meeting Of
creditors the First National submitted
a claim for $19,012.41, which the ref
cree allowed. The claim consisted Of
As negotiable promissory notes. The
State Natienal filed two petitions
with the referee in which it was al
legged that these notes were not liza
bilities of the firm of McIntire & Mid
dleton, but the individual liabilities
Of H. w. McIntire and the McIntire
Mercantile company, Of which concern
McIntire had been the manager, and
which firm had ceased to exist when
that of Mc1ntire & Middleton was es-
tablished.
To this the First National made
answer that the notes were liabilities
rightfully chargeable to McIntire &
Middleton and that they had received
the full benefits of them.
From the testimony submitted at
the meeting it developed that McIn-
tire & Middleton continued to use the
same set Of books formerly used to
keep the accounts of the McIntire
Mercantile company and that they
made the deposits Of the firm in the
old name of the McIntire Mercantile
company. Furthermore 1t was also
made to appear that they had contin-
ued to- draw checks in the name Of
the McIntire Mercantile company
with which to pay debts of the firm
of McIntire & Middleton.
On the strength Of the testimony
adduced the referee reduced the claim
of the First National bank from $19,.
O12.41 to ST., 92O.S4, on which a div
idend may be computed. Whether an
appeal from these findings will be TAX
en- is vs. yet not known.
Already the estate has paid divi-
dends aggregating 40 per cent Of the
entire amount Of claims allowed. The
assets OF the estate were about $780,
900, $4,000 of which has been dis
tributed among the creditors.
The bankrupts themselves have
been discharged and no claims may be
made against them for anything they
may have owed prior to the com
mencement of the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.

or any lesser offense" and her dis
charge is commanded.
Mrs. circuit was not present in
court when the Judge announced his
decision and the glad news was made
known to her later by Deputy Sheriff
Robbins. Only her attorney and the
county attorney were the interested
parties present when the words which
meant SO much to the unfortunate wo-

scented earlier in the day to waive the
formality Of the petitioners presence
in court when judgment should be
pronounced.

+ Burglary.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Charles Jacobs, John Brown, An
drew Peterson and Andrew Gamble
were arraigned In the district courl
yesterday morning on a joint inforna
tioi charging them with the crime
OF burglary in the first degree, the
robbery Of a Northern Pacific freight
a. in transit between this city and
the western limit of the county. They
had previously confessed their guilt
when arrested by the officers at Liv.
ingston, and as the testimony against
them was conclusive, they concluded
to trust to the leniency of the court
and entered pleas Of guilty
The fact that they had spared the
court the trouble OF trying them and
saved the county the attendant costs,
caused his honor to sentence each to
two years in the state penitentiary.
Continued for Term.
When the ase of William Ettien
VS.. Harry B. Drum was called for
trial the defendants attorney, F. Fl.
Hathhorn, asked for a continuance
for the term and in support Of the
motion submitted an affidavit sworn
to by d%efendent. In 1t he alleged that
because of the absence OF a material
witness, Deaton, he felt 1t unsafe
to proceed with the hearing of the
case. The affidavit also set forth that
because Of the abandonment Of a part
OF the Northern Pacific traffic the alb
sent witness had found It impossible
to be in court at that time although
he had made diligent and reasonable
effort to appear.
The plaintiff filed a counter aft.
davit and resisted the motion. The
court granted the motion and the jury
empanelled to try the case was dis
charged.
Commissioners Appointed.
At the afternoons session Judge
Goss in behalf Of the plaintiff in the
case Of the Big Ditch company vs..
John D. Losekamp and the Northern
Pacific Railway company, an action
for condemnation of right.of-way,
brought up the matter Of plaintiffs
prayer for the appointment Of a board
OF appraisers to assess the damage
likely to be sustained by defendants
by reason of a proposed enlargement
of the company's canal where it
traverses the lands of the defendants.
The action had come up during the
forenoon and 1t remained only for he
necessary order to be made. The rail
road company defaulted, having put
IN no appearance, SO only the remain
ing defendant was to be considered.
At the suggestion Of the court the
interested parties got together and
agreed upon three men whom they de-
sired to have appointed and confirmed.
The names of F.. L. Summers, A. G..
Logan and c. H. Newman were SUBJ
mitted and these the court confirmed
