This will facilitate the work of those
VINO have the matter in charge, and
result in an early settlement of the
claim. There are several thousand
brands on record with the board Of
stock commissioners, and the dis.
covery Of any particular brand with

1t occurs to the River Press that
stockmen may confer a favor upon
their neighbours by notifying them Of
any brand that is identified as be-.
longing to them, and thus assist in
recovering what is coming to them.
Within a few minutes after the first
publication of this list, George w.
Lovinger, of Virgelle, who was in
town at the time, applied to the River
Press for an extra copy to send to a
friend in Beaverhead county, whose
brand he discovered In the exhibit.
This is the kind Of neighborly spirit
that should be commended and en-.
couraged, and to assist in the work OF
finding the owners of these estrays
additional copies of the list will be

that locality are candidates for the In.
sane asylum. They report that A. w.

furniture and other possessions for q
song, and, with his wife, two children
and four other followers, who had dis
posed of their property. entered a fur.
nished house that they had rented in
the o elev ated district in the city,
and the party is o calmly awaiting
a sudden transition to heaven.
Stanton, before leaving his commod-
tiles and handsomely appointed home,
sold his furniture to the first bidder,
receiving only $50 for it. This was
the amount of q bid made on one ar.
ticle, q piano, but Stanton insisted on
the bidder taking everything else as q
gift, stating that he did not need more
money, and quoting Scripture in sup
port of his action. Stanton's follow.
ers disposed of their property in the
same manner. Stanton was formerly
interested in the sheep business il
Park county, being called from there
suddenly, according to his story. abou,
FIVE months ago, to prepare his fol-
lowers for the end.
