NORTHERN PACIFIC SUFFERS
FROM SECOND EXPLOSION.

Heavy Charge Of Giant Powder Elk
pIoded Under Locomotive
Near Bozeman.

Almost on the heels OF the attempt
made to wreck the Northern Pacific
bridge at Livingston with dynamite
comes another effort to cause further
damage to the company's property,
also by means of the same explosive.
The latest plot Of the dynamiters
narrowly missed the destruction OF
several lives, employees OF the railroad.
About II o'clock Tueday night while
freight train No. 50, w~estbound, was
within a mile of Bozeman a heavy

What is considered as a clew to the
party responsible for the two ex

What Correspondents Report.

What Correspondents Report.
The different correspondents
throughout the state send varying re
ports. About all report rain, some
mere showers, while others give &C
counts of damaging storms and de-
.struction of much hay that was cut.
In Gallatin county a heavy fall OF
hail coused considerable loss to for.
age and grain crops.
In Rosebud the long drouth seems
to have been broken, but too late
to be OF much benefit to anything
except the range. Corn is looking
fairly well and the water holes are
full. Grasshoppers continue their
devastation of the range. Fergus re-
ports all crops in fine condition. Some
hail fell, but did little damage. Hay
ing is said to be very good. Meagher
is another county that seems to have
been favored to an exceptional de
gree and the condition of Acrops and
the range is very encouraging.
The only report from Yellowstone
county is made from Columbus, where
a correspondent writes as follows:
"Grasshoppers have completely de
vastated the range in this vicinity
stockmen are driving stock north to
better feed. Grain cutting is in pro
gress, crop promises well, and irri
gated crops are the best eve raised
here"

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN BY
WEATHER BUREAU.
AS REGARDS HAY OUTLOOK
Good Yield Anticipated in Southwest
ern counties-Eastern Half
Is Less Fortunate.

The week opened warm, but the
temperature began to fall on the 28th
and after that date unreasonable cool
weather prevailed" says Section Di-
rector M. W. Hayes of the United
States weather bureau in his weekly
crop bulletin. During the first of the
week local thunder showers occurred
in all sections of the state and on
the 30th and 31st fairly heavy rains
were general.
ssThe crop Of winter wheat is prac-
tically all ready to cut and to the
west of the main range a consider
able portion of it was cut druing the
first of the week; the general opinion
seems to be that this crop will give
a good yield. Spring wheat is making
very fair progress, but as a rule, it's
prospects II not as encouraging as
those Of the winter crop. Oats are
maturing rapidly and some are ready
to cut; the condition of the crop
ranges from an average to somewhat
below.
The Hay Crop.
Forage crops were being harvested
during the first of the week, but the
work vas interrupted by rains and in
scattered localities some of the cut
crops were damaged. Prospects for
hay have changed but little; a good
yield is anticipated in the southwest
ern counties, an average yield in the
northwestern counties, while in the
eastern half of the state the return
will be below the average. The second
crop o salfalfa Is advancing very rap
idly and its prospects are very good.
The weather conditions have been
very favorable for ranges.

State Offers Reward.
Governor Toole has offered a re
ward of $1,000 for the arrest and con-
viction OF the party or parties guilty
OF placing the dynamite on the
bridge at Livingston and also on the
track a Bozeman. Believing that
reason exists for experimenting a repe-
tition of the attempts to wreck proper
ty and destroy lives, the governor
offers a reward Of another $1,000 tor
the arrest and conviction of any per-
son guilty of a similar offense that
may be committed within go days
from the first of August.
In addition to the states reward,
the railroad company has increased
it's original offer of $1,000 to $500
for the arrest of the same parties.
To prevent a repetition of attempts
to wreck it's property it is said that
the company mas put out patrols, with
special instructions to guard the
bridges between Livingston and Boze-
man.

CUTTING scRAPE.
RumaIdo RoybaI Resisting Search OF
His Wagon, SIashes I. Thyrion
of Hot Springs in the Face.

Last night a serious cutting scrape
rion, the chef, was stabbed in the face
by Rumaldo Roybal. The knife slash
ed T%hyrion's face from his mouth to
his ear. The wound, while painful
and likely to cause Disagreement for
life, is not a dangerous one. Roybal
gave himself up and Sheriff Romero
went up this morning to take posses
sion of the man. A hearing was held
this morning before the Hot Springs
justice, but owing to the inability of
Thyrion to make his appearance, the
case was adjourned to May 8.
II seems that Roybal who has been
living within a half mile of the
springs, had his household goods
loaded upon a wagon, and was about
to start last night for Santa Rosa.
When his wagon was in the Hot
Springs yard, Manager Talbot observ-
ed on the top of the load a carpet,
which he identified as belonging to
the Montezuma. Roybal claimed that
he found the carpet outside. The
manager held an investigation to de-
termine whether or not anyone in
the house had put the carpet out or
given Roybal leave to take it.. He
then told the man. that whether he
found the carpet in the hotel or out,
he had no right to it, and proceeded
to search his wagon to see if, haply,
other Montezuma belongings might be
unearthed. Thereupon, Roybal made
a dash for Mr.. Talbot. The latter
shook him off. Thyrion observing a
knife in the assailant's hand inter
fered. Both the man and his wife
then attacked Thyrion, the former
plunging a knife into his face.
Roybal says in his defense that he
had nothing in his wagon, belonging
to the Montezuma, and that Thyrion
a molested his wife. A further
search Of the mans wagon however.
resulted in the finding of a number of
bath and turkish towels. bearing the

DAvY CROCKETT.

For the past few seasons prominent
actors have found a new mission on
the stage, that of teaching patriotism
and love of country that comes with
the present actions of plays wherein
such characters as Nathan Hale, Bar

The heroes of the Revolution, of the
Civil war and even the Spanish-Amer-
lean wal have been exploited Upon the
stage but the stories of heroism and
valor of the early days when Texas
and Mexico were at strife have not
been dramatized and placed before
the public. 1t is left for the veteran
actor Redmond to assume the role of
that famous scout and statesman, Da-
Wy Crockett, and t revive the interest
of that hero of the Alamo. Those
who know the life of Crockett and his
daring courage shown at the Texas
massacre will understand what In OPP
