BUTTE, Montana, JAM 26.-Elmer
Brain of Minneapolis is the hero of an
encounter at midnight on the Deer
Creek mining district of Washington
on the eve of the new year in which
he stood off with gun the claim
jumpers who were about to obtain pos
session of the property of the Hunter
Creek Mining & Milling company in
which his mother Mrs. M. L. Brain.
is a heavy stakeholder.
At midnight of each new year all
mining property upon which the assess
subject to relocation. When young
Brain arrived on the scene, on the at
ternoon of Dec. 81, he found five armed
men waiting for the hour when they
might Jump his mothers property. The
story of how he thwarted them, as told
in a special dispatch to the The Min
neapolis Journal from Seattle, is as
melodramatic as any written by Bret
Harte.
Monahan Is Active.
The Hunter Creek company is Min
nesota corporation, owing valuable
claims known as the Monahan group,
and Monahan seems to have desired for
some time to make them his own, in
fact as well as in name. Last sum-
mer he sued the company for services
performed and the suit is now pending.
But with the coming Of the new year
he figured out a better game, just to
jump the claims and let it go at that.
With "pal' by the name of Atkin-
son and three miners, he started out
Dec 81. After an unsuccessful at
tempt to shake Atkinson, Monahan and
cabins about the mine to await the
hour of midnight. At 9 p. M. just three
hours before the hour set for the jump
ing, young Brain drove up. He got
to Atkinson and squared him with a
promise to settle his claims in cash.
Then Monahan appeared on the scene
and pretended to give up the contest.
His game was deeper than that
Drawing Atkinson aside he proposed to
him that they take advantage of
Brains youth and his ignorance of
mining law and do their little jumping
act as soon as he was asleep. Atkin-
san assented, but to make things sure,
he was forced at the muzzle of gun
to sign the necessary papers.
He Said Things.
: Atkinson, however, contrived to
warn Brain. Then things warmed up.
Instead of philosophizing on the insta-
bility of human fortunes. Brain. the
tenderfoot, reached for his Winchester.
When he was fully organized for war
he went to Monahan's cabin and in
vited him to come out. Then he told
him, i'm few forceful, we'll chosen
words, just what he thought of him, his
antecedents, his future prospects, and
his way of doing business.
Following that, he invited him and
his gang to lay aside their arms and
come up the tunnel and see him do
the assessment required by law. They
complied with the request and had the
displeasure of seeing the tenderfoot
shatter their hopes with few vigorous
strokes of his pick just as the minute
hand touched the mark of twelve.

Feed More Oats.

There is nothing like oats to give
snap to horse. For this reason oats
are almost the exclusive grain diet
of driving horses. 1t is well-known
that oats possess some property that
excites as well as nourlshes animals.
says Indiana Farmer. The pillow horse
can be fed corn with some advantage,
but the driving horses, the colts, and
the brood mares should be given
more whole oats and less corn. Don't
be stingy when feeding oats to calves
or colts. Some claim that crushed
oats are better to feed than the
whole. They may be for hogs OF
dairy cows when oats are made only
part of the ration, but for horses
colts and calves, feed them without
crushing, and feed good oats. In
the absence of oats barley makes q
fine feed for colts or pigs.
