WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Senator
Dixon reported from the house lands
committee today and the sen ate later
passed the Dixon bill authorizing the
sale of It's, 900 acres OF lands of the
abandoned Fort Assinniboine mill
tary eservation in Montana. The
bill provides that settlers purch asing
this land shall pay Sl.25 per acre.
Timber lands on the reserv alton are
reserved, subject to subsequent dis
poeal under the direction of congress.
The bill authorizes the sale TO the
state Of Montana of $4,000 acres of
this land on which the old army post
buildings stand on condition that the
state within five years establish on
that site agricultural or other public
educational institutions. The build.
ings cost 1896, ,l58 when erected, but
are reported to be falling In decay.
The secretary of the interior re-
ported in favor of the bill and express
ed the opinion that these buildings

other beneficial use than th at contem-
plated by the Dixon bill.

Rancher Burned To Death,

MILES CITY, Dec. 22.-Word has
just reached here of the death of Ed. (.
Houtz In q fire that consumed the
load OF hay on which he was riding.
The accident was discovered bv Will
Combs, who, while driving along the
public road at the head of Crow Rock
creek, was startled to fnd himself
suddenly gazing upon an overturned
wagon and q pile of smoldering hay.
Protruding from the hay he saw the
partially burned head and arm of q
human being, the face being unrecog-
nizable, however, from the destruction
of the features wrought by the flames.
Mr. Combs hastened to the nearest
ranch, that of Alfred Clark, and found
out from him about Houtz having
started off with the hay, and the con.
clusion reached that the unfortun ate
victim must be Houtz. As he was q
confirmed smoker of cigarettes, the
tragedy was assumed to have its
origin IN this source,

The Stray Dog Nuisance

Nearly every western community is
afflicted with the stray dog nuisance,
In a more or less aggravated form.
The canine population has way OF
enjoying itself that is not always
pleasant to human residents, and the
latter are occasionally compelled to
resort to measures Of suppression un-
til the nuisance Is abated.
Complaint is made that the stray
dogs in this locality are holding mid
night carnivals that correspond to the
offense known as disturbing the peace,
and the owners of the offending can.
ines are advised to place them under
restr Amt. Discordant rehearsals of
Christmas carols by bunch of stray
dogs at midnight is resented as an in-
vasion of the right of local residents
to peace and quiet at that hour, and
the strong arm of the law may be in.
voked to protect the victims of these
canine serenades.
The city ordinances of Fort Benton
provide that it shall be the duty of the
marshal to kill or impound every dog
running the streets without q RESPONSE
BILE owner, or unless the same is regis
tered, or has collar giving the name
OF the owner and number of registry

save him from the disgrace of being
