Deer Lodge, Mont, July %, 19 3.
Editor KeoWee Courier: The year
is more than half gone, and ! have
just now found time for my annual
letter, freighted with good wishes for
The Courier and all its readers.
The climate in Montana has chang
ed greatly in the last few years. In
winter and spring it is almost as
damp as Oregon, and this causes
much sickness. There is very little
sunshine, and rain fell every day or
night during June. Last week there
was frost, which injured the crops
that had been planted during the
sunny days.
During April there was buried in
the Deer Lodge cemtery Il man who
was foreman of the gang of men that
constructed the first railroad across
the ISthmuS Of Panama. He was 96
years Old and his name was Patrick
Cahalin, but he was known in sevC-
raj Western States as Panama Pat"
He was hale and hearty, and might
have lived many years yet Ii he had
not met with an accidental fall that
caused his death.

Every pioneer in the State who was
we'll enough to come was here, and
they had the greatest time they ever
had at an annual meeting. Three
thousand dollars were contributed by
some Of the wealthy ones for their
entertainment, and they had nothing
to pay for board and lodging, and
automobiles were at the station to
meet incoming trains, and all were
carried TO Il store, where they regis
tered and received badges before be-
ing shown to their lodging places.
Those coming to Montana in 1886
had white badges, and there were
very few Of those. From that date
to 1868 the badges were Of red rib
bon. Those arriving in 1868 had
purple badges: the next two years

ToRREoN FALLS TO REBELS.
Six Days Required by Rebels to Wrest
City from Mexican FcdeTals.

Juarez, Mexico, April 2.-Torreon
fell completely into the hands OF the
| rebels at 1920 o'clock tonight, ac-
| cording to announcement made here
tonight by Gen. Venustiano Car
| rama.
The news first was announced to
| the world when the bugler in front
Of Carranza's residence blew the
staccato notes of victory. The paean,
| Carranza said, was sounded here
even before it was heard in Torreon
Villa delaying out of comp liment to
his chief.
The meagre bulletins eXcitediy an
nouncing the victory after the blood
| lest series of battles known to mod
ern Mexico said that Villa captured
large number of prisoners and the {
! the fleeing Federal remnant was he
ing pursued.
Whether Velasco, the Federal COM
mander was captured was not stated
There was heavy fighting to-day, it
is understood, and the end cane
when, after capturing the three re
naming barracks held in the city by
the Federals, the rebels stormed the
trenches and barbed wire entangle-
ments of Canyon de Guarache.
The prisoners captured are be-
( lieved to have been the defenders of
I the barracks, while the troops in the
canyon, which forms an egress from
the hill-girt city, were able to escape.
Two Weeks Ago.
The campaign against the Federal
stronghold of Torreon, the main OBJ
ject of the rebel campaign, began
suddenly two weeks ago after Gen.
/ Villa had spent months in making
most careful preparation.
The rebel loss in this campaign is
| said to be more than 1000 killed and
wounded Trains loaded with wound
ed have been arriving daily at Chi
huahua for the last week
The rebel commander moved with
a rapidity hitherto unknown in Mexi-
| can warfare. He worked his men in
shifts, and as one shift became ex-
hausted he sent fresh hosts against
the enemy. A number Of small towns
of lesser Importance in a military
sense fell first--Mapimi, Noe and Sac
ramcntO, where a bloody battle was
fought This opened a path for the
main attack
Next came Lerdo and Gomez Pala-
clio, populOuS suburbs of TorreOn
and all three connected by belt
street car line. Lerdo was not de
Tended. but it took three main as.
saults, in which the rebels lost heav.
lily, to take Gomez Palacio.
In the final attack on the city
troops were withdrawn from Lerdo
whereupon the Federals occupied il
and another sanguinary conflict was
necessary to retake it.
