~ USTLING, or the stealing of
stock on the range, slackened
~ perceptibly after the sO-called

oming, fight between the
stOckmen of that state and the organ
lied bands of COW thieves which re-
suited in the death of several we'll
known cattle thieves among whom
were Nate Champion and Nick Ray,
known to be leaders of the rustlers in
the Powder river country.
Cattle stealing was carried on in a
small way on the range in eastern
Montana and North and South Dakota,
but owing to the vigilance Of the
stock inspectors headed by w. D.
Chilly? Smith, the business never as
OF those who were making a living by
changing brands on other mems cattle
and slaughtering beeves on the range
and selling the meat to butchers in
the towns, railroad camps and wher-
ever they could dispose of it, were
arrested by the inspectors and a large
percent of them were handed a meal
year term in the state prison at Deer
Lodge, or at Bismark, N. D., and they
grew wary of the lure of fat cattle
that did not belong to them.
One night in January, 1896, about
10 o'clock, Jim Manskier was fatally
shot while in the caboose of Northern
Pacific freight train standing in the
railroad yards at Miles City, while re-
sisting arrest. Immediately after the
shooting, Inspector Smith surrendered
himself to the sheriff Of Custer county
and the next morning gave out the
following statement:
IN the latter part of last October
I received information regarding the
running off and killing of cattle near
Bellfield, N. D., and about two weeks
ago I received a letter from Frank
Lish, sheriff of Stark county, N. D..
containing description of Jim Mans
skier who was wanted in Stark county
for grand larceny. I set about watching
the trains, and last night was on hand
when No. "a passenger train) pulled
in, and I went through the train but
without success. Knowing there was
to be an ice train westbound at a late
hour, was on hand for that and had
with me Chief jackson and Patrolmar
Johnson of the city police force.
when the train arrived, which was
about 10 p. M, we entered the caboose
at the dark end and came into the
open room, (where passenger would
naturally be) somewhat unexpectedly
There was a man there, sitting on the
side seat of the caboose, with Win

be taken he had been on the move for
some time and when shot he was 1eav-
ing the country by rail instead Of the
usual way Of riding out horseback. He
said that the first time he had been
off his guard was last night in the
alert, he would have killed both Of
the officers. He said if he could have
only got in one shot he would die
happy for had he got the one shot,
Billy Smith would have crossed the
Divide with him. The first shot, he
nothing. He stated Billy Jones, who
was foreman for the TIT. outfit, was
his cousin. He had one brother in Dur
ango Colo, and another in New Mexico.
Manssier was man of about 26
years Of age, well built, and Cliff
Crews said he was man who could
take care Of himself anywhere.

carefully during the night Manskier
saloon in Wibaux. Tell him I've gone
to the happy hunting grounds" He
further told Watney that he had
married sister in Fort Worth, Tex,
whose married name he did not know,
and that A. M. Leenhart of Trinidad,
Colo, was his uncle. He bequeathed
his six shooter to Doc Blalock Of Dick
son, N. D., and asked that his rifle
be sold to pay few dollars he owed
to Bob Maze. He died protesting his
innocence of cattle stealing and voic-
ing a regret that he had been unable
to get just one shot at Inspector Smith.
Sheriff Lish of Stark county arrived
in Miles City on the afternoon of the
day Mapskier died and identified the
body as being that of the man wanted
by him. He told Smith that it was the
only way Manskier could have been
taken as he was man of unquestion-
able bravery and utterly devoid Of
fear.
Before he left Miles City, Sheriff
Lish received a telegram from deputy
of his e. w. Goodale) from Medora,
N. D., stating that he had arrested
Thompson who was partner Of Mans
kiers in the cattle stealing.
Manskier was buried at Miles City.
A lot in the graveyard was purchased
by subscriptions raised in that town
and his burial brought to a close an
unfortunate tragedy and added one
more grave to those already in Boot
Hill cemetery.

Lack Of Water

Pilot Don Goodwin arriving re- gently at Cordova said that lack Gf water is impeding mining operations on the Kuskokwim river which is so low that boats can't go beyound McGrath. Takotna and Aphir have not had a boat all summer. Some food was imported by light out board from McGrath, but now the river is so low that even it sets stuck. Construction of a road from Takotna to Nixon Fork has been de- layed because machinery has not ar rived. Most mines affected by the water shortage are small placers. Goodwin said.
