Cuancy, Montana, Dac. 19, 1896. In China, when a man “loots” a bank, they cut off his head. That is what they should do in Mon- tana. The country will await the trial of the “looters” of the First Nat ional Bank, and will watch with interest whether it is to be another Will Hanks affair. W. Beattie were indicted by E. D. Edgerton, E. and @. H. Hill the United States grand jury in Helena, charged with robbing the First National Bank of that city It begins to look as though the day of the depositor was approach- ing in connection with that insti tution. It is the tin bucket brigade that brings prosperity toatown. Clancy has had a small army of this olass thrust upon her, and in order to increase her standing in this particular, those who own property here should encourage their com- ing. If thisis properly done Clancy will be the largest town in Jeffer- son County during the coming year. One George Booze, who misman.- ages the Missonlian, an alleged newspaper, received two sound thrashings in one day in the streets of Missoula, at the hands of out- raged citizens.

According to corrected state- ments of the assessed valuation of the various counties in Montana, made by county clerks to the State Board of Equalization, the live stock interests of the state are in a very prosperous condition, says the Northwestern Magazine. The to- tal number of cattle is. 657,474, with a value of $9,959,547. Custer comes first with 193,721 head valued at $3,530,667. Choteau comes second with 80,635 head valued at $1,403,187. Silver’ Bow has the smallest number, 3,596, but its value is not the lowest, for the reason that the average value per head is the highest in the state, $22.14. Flathead Countyhas 4,417 cattle valued at $78,095. Yellow- stone reports the lowest average value per head $15.98, and Silver Bow the highest. Custer county cattle have an average value of $18.17 a head, Dawson of $18.63, and Valley of $18.65. Fergus is the banuer sheep reporting 506,370 head. Then comes Choteau, with 380,116; Meagher, with 294,944; Custer with 239,950; Sweet Grass, with 250,018, and Teton, 227,457. Flat- head county has only 160 sheep, and Lewis and Clarke reports 40,- 800. The total value of the sheep in Fergus county is $506,370, and in Flathead $240. The sheep in Meagher county are valued at $442, - 276, in $59,925 and in $570,190. Sheep in Sweet Grass are valued at $337,820 in Silver Bow at $3,350, Lewis and Clarke at $51,020. bon has the highest average value a head—208,554 being valued at $2.10 each. In Lewis and Clarke sheep are only believed to be worth $1.22 a head, while in Sweet Grass the value placed on them is $1.75 a head. Meagher holds her sheep at $1.50 each, as does Custer and Choteau, while Silver Bow says they are worth nine cents more, and Cascade 1s satisfied with a val- uation of $1.25. The total number of sheep reported is 2,815,849, and their value is placed at 34,349,146. In horses Custer county easily leads with 27,929 head valued at $362,295, or an average value of 312.98 per head. Compared with Custer at Choteau at and in Car- Ravalli, Custer has a cheap lot of horses because in the former sonny} the average value of 4,778 head is 330.27. Lewis and Clarke county has 6,066 head of horses averag- ed at 819.31 each. In Beaverkead: placed at $10.31. Silver Bow has Vhe Lewis and Clarke grand jury have been examining into the methods leading up to the closing of the doors of the late First National Bank of Helena. When the First National was reorganized it was heralded into public patron age for the second time as the strongest financial institution in the state, and the meteor-like ca- reer of its small-bore Napoleon of finance, who was supposed to stand at the head of its affairs and guard its interests, should not now shrink from the most thorough investiga- tion that a grand jury or any other body of honest citizens can bring to bear upon it. If the transac- tions and: general business meth- ods of the’ late First National wer honest the public who trusted ft have a right to know it. Several suits have already been brough against the defunct institution, which continued to receive the hard-earned dollars of -depositors up to the hour of closing its doors, without qualms of conscience, and others are likely to follow. The grand jury, it is reported, have re- turn three indictments against officials of the bank, two of the offi: cials having been actively engaged in the bank itself, and the other a director. county | Clarke |-horses in the State is given at 182.,- 478, valued at 32,966,939 According to the reports of the 798 hogs in Montana, valued at 883,426. Of these Lewis and has only 201, valued at 34.05 each. Ravalli is the banner hog county having 4,350 head, the assessed valuation of which is only $2.50 each. In Silver Bow there are 323, the average value being $5.55 per head. Yellowstone county has 627 hogs, valued at #6 each. A glance suffices to show that the valuations are in many instan- jpes ridiculously low and do not at all represent the actual value of Montana’s stock industry. Numerically speaking, however the showing is a good.one, though he returns are doubtless far from being complete. Latest reports indicate that nearly 200,000 head of cattle have been shipped to Chi- cago stockyards the past season, a decrease of twenty per cent from last year. Some sixty thousand more haye been killetl for local consumption and for Indian use. These cattle are valued at about eight and a half million dollars. live the average value of 9,367 head is| 2.363 horses valued at 222.94 each. | Madison which is noted for its fine | county clerks there are only 21,-| horse-ranches reports 17,294 head | but the average value is only *12.- 10 a head. The total number of | of about 8382 per head, the cattle now in Montana represent 4 com- mereial value of at least $20,000,000. All in all, this live-stock census-is| §; not a bad one to come from a young State that is papularly supposed to be given over to mountains and minerals. as If the plans recommended by ©. Payne, of Wichita, Kan., the well- known hnonter and authority on wild game, are carried out, the greatest private game preserve in the United States will soon be es- tablished in northern New Mexico. Mr. Payne has been frequently im- portuned by wealthy men for in- formation as to the best location for extensive priyate hunting grounds in the west, and he re- cently took a trip through Colorado and New Mexico. His report rec- ommends the purchasing of nearly 200,000 acres of mountain land, which now belongs to the Maxwell Land Grant company, and which is located in northern New Mexico. Should it be used for a game pre- serve, the entire tract will be in- closed with a strong and high wire fence and stocked with, all manner of wild game. Secretary James Maher, of the Western Federatioa of Minan, in speaking of the Leadville labor troubles recently ‘said: “ It will be settled in favor of the Miners’ Union before the first of the month.” Speaking of the Western Federation of Miners the Butte Miner says: “The Federation of Miners of about 90 local miners’ unions all over the west, consists and contains about 20,000 members | in good standing. It is one of the strongest and most conservative labor organizations in the country and attends strictly to the business for which it was organized. The local union is largely responsible for the generally high wages paid in Butte. The Butte Miners’ Union is financially the strongest member of the Federation of Miners.
