A Canadian Train Robbery.

VANCOUVER, B. c. May 9.-The
Canadian Pacific Railroad company's
fast trans.continental express was
held up by three masked men last
night. The robbery was an utter
failure, for only seven registered let.
ters. all for Victoria, were stolen.
The train had left Ducks, a small
station east of Kamloops, and was
running west when the engineer hap.
pened to look around aud found that
he was staring down the barrel Of a
big revolver. In obedience TO the
orders OF one of the men, who was
backed by two others, be brought the
train to q standstilI. The robbers
then compelled the fireman to go back
and %uncouple the combination mail
and express car and with this the en-
gineer ran down the track for a mile
leaving the passengers in their berths
undisturbed.
The Canadian Pacific offers $1,000
reward and the provincial government
$500 for each of the robbers.

Affecting Livestock Assessments

In response to Q letter of inquiry
from j. E. Barbour, county attorney
Of Sweet Grass, Attorney General Ca
len has rendered an opinion as to the
assessment of livestock. 1t seems that
the Bloomington Land & Livestock
company, of Shawmut, owns lands in
both Sweet Grass and Meagher coun.
ties. Their house, barns and winter
quarters are in Meagher county. The
company owns several thousand head
of cattle, sixty to seventy five per
cent of which range in Sweet Grass
county for y period of eight months .
year, the remainder of the time being
pastured in Meagher county. The
question propounded is as to which
county the stock is assessable in.
Attorney General Galen holds that
in accordan with the supreme court
decision ia the Flowerree case, the
stock should be assessed in the county
whose land furnishes its accustomed
range. Therefore, whatever per cent.
OF the livestock of the company has
its accustomed range in Sweet
Grass county when running at large
should be assessed in that county,
Notwithstanding the fact that such
stock may have been ON the first Mon.
day in March in the county ot
| Meagher, where it had been taken for
the purpose of feeding and pasture
during the winter.
1t il held to be the duty of the owner
of livestock running at large to give
to the assessor of each county in which
stock runs at large the number of cat.
tie or other stock owned by him which
have their accustomed range in the
county OF such assessor when running
at large, and failure to do SO author
ICES the assessor to make an estimate
and assess the same as if it had been
given to him by the owner.

Forest Fires Destroy Town.

SEATTLE, May lO.-Forest fires in
the Cascade mountains, along the line
of the Great Northern, yesterda y DIES.
troyed the mining camp of Berlin,
rendering nearly 200 people homeless,
and burning a saw mill, concentrator,
postofice, general store, and more
than 20 dwelling houses. The women
and children we're driven from their
homes to a camp on the edge of the
Skyhomish river. Yesterday after
noon a relief train was sent from
Everett and brought the women and
children to that place. Then men
were left to fight the flames, which
have swept the upper reaches of the
Skyhomish canyon. For a time it
was believed that the Madison Scenic
Hot Springs hotel was in serious dan
| ger, but it was reported today that the
building had not been touched as yet.
The fires have come months earlier
than usual, owing to a protracted
period Of dry weather. There has
been no rain in the mountains for
weeks. A bridge at Berlin was ahame
| when the rescue crew took the women
and children away from the blazing
town.
Reports show that many miners
| cabins and tool houses have been des-
troyed in the mountains by the fires,
which are still reported as raging.

Disastrous Wreck.

The fast mail train crashed into a
fast freight train four miles west OF
Wells last Friday afternoon and the
track was strewn with wreckage. No
one was killed. The wreck was caused
by the failure of the engineer SO it is
said of the freight to side-track for
the mail train. The wreck is the
worst that has occurred for several
years and the loss will be heavy, as
the cars were loaded with high class
freight.
