CARL J. BRAREN, - Proprietor. Cives Up the Chase. Glasgow, July 10.—Sheriff Griffith and posse returned this ovening after a fruitless chaso in the Little Rocky mountains, searching for tho men who held up tho Great Northern wosl-bouud flyer near Dodson on tho Xd. Sixty men in all returned, and tho opinion is now prevalent that the robbers did not go into the moun tains after the hold-up. Sheriff Grif fith says that even with his large posse it was easily possible for the men to bavo boon in there and eluded the officere. Malta, July 1(>.—Tho various sheriffs posses who have been search ing for the Great Northern train rob bers, hare abandoned the chase and are returning homo, only a few Pin kerton detectives and the posse guarding the southern boundary of the “ Bad Lands’’ remaining. It is now bolioved that tho friends of the robbers circulated the report of their being surrounded, etc., for tho pur pose of throwing tho officers off tho track. Bit While In Bed John W tge, a sheepherder in (lie employ of .John Solberg of Red Lodge crock, mot with a peculiar ex perience while in camp last Sunday night, says (ho Red Lodge Picket. He retired early and was awakened from his slumbers by the sting of a snake, which had crawled into bed while the .sheepherder slept. The snake was a rattler and immediately proceeded to business by sticking his fangs into the herder’s hand. This stinging caress caused the sluinborer to awaken with a start and lie imme diately mado tracks for the ranch, somo three mUes-di~taut, but was so overcome from the effect of tho poison that lie didn't roach there until 8 o’clock in the morning, although ho loft camp several hours boforc mid night. Mr. Solberg brought (he herder to town Monday morning and took him to Dr. Doty’s office, where lie was given antidotes undeamo near «Ring, either from tho effects of tho bite or the stuff hypodermically in- jecleetcd into his anatomy. It is staled that the herder will survive, but lliut tho snake will doubtless die. Killed By Lightning. Miles City, July 11.—Tho first vic tim of lightning this yoar in this lo cality is Patrick Tirnoy’, a wool hauler in tho employ of James Donaldson, a Dawson county sheepman. Tirnoy was struck at tho ranch about 5 o’clock Friday afternoon and 1115180113’ killod. The body was brought into MileB City for burial and inquest. Tho face and chest wcrG black, and blood had exuded from the nostril. Tho cloth ing was torn, tho overalls being ripped from from hip to bottom. Tirnoy camo from Fargo about two mouths ago, whero ho worked in a livery barn. His folks livo in St. Paul. His satchol contained a letter from a sister, Winnie, who appears to have worked in a laundry in St. Paul. The letter was dated May 20. Dragged By a Horse. Milijs City’, July 15.— Will Hyde, a north side raiser of high grade cattlo, was nearly’ killod a few days ago by being dragged nearly half a inilo by a horso which ho had roped. The animal escaped from tho corral with tho noose around his ueck and tho ropo caught Hyde, who was ou the ground, by tho feet. The weight of the body brought tho auimal to a standstill through strangulation, otherwise death would have been cortuiu. As it is, it was five days before ho was in condition to be brought to town for trealmont. Government Contract Let. B. H. Tatem, the United States assaycr has received official notice from tho secretary at Washington, that tho contract for the construction of tho now federal building in Helena has been let to tho Congres Construc tion company of Chicago, for the sum of $286,717. It is more limn probable that through tho action of the authorities iu Flatlioad county Percy Do Wolfe, who is wanted by the Uuitod Statos aulliorites for horso stealing, and is also wauted by various other parties for the same offouse, has escaped from justice again. As told iu Friduy’s Loader, De Wolfe was arrested in Kalispoll on suspicion of being one uf the Great Northorn train robbers, his descrip lion tallying very closely with that of one of tho men who made tho hold-up. DeWolfo was recognized by Officer Hannah, the same man who arrested Smith, who was sent to tho peniten tiary for complicity with Do Wolfe iu stoaling horses, and was arrested on a wire from tho United States marshal. DoWolfo had, with his usual bravado boasted oi tho fuet that tho United States marshal was after him. Ho is also thought I d be wanted in this county for horse stealing, is now under bail in Teton county for tho samo offense and has an unenviable record in Monghor mid Fergus counties. Deputy United States Marshul M. H. Wall went through this city on Saturday morning to gut Do Wolfe and tuko him to liclenu, but whilo tho latter was on his way measures woro beiug taken, us told iu the Leader of Sunday, to secure the re lease of tho alleged horso thief. Do Wolfo securod an attorney, who made application to Judge Smith of tho district court for a writ of habeus corpus, In cotisuqueneo of those proceed ings Judge Smith issued an order on Friday morning to tho effect that, ueless thodoputy marshal arrived in town by Friday night aflor Percy De,Wolfo the latter was to bo roloased from custody. Do Wolfo liud been in custody’ sinco Tuesday* night, on rocoipt of a telegram from tho United States marshul saying that a deputy would leave Holona for Kalispoll on Wednesday. Tho furthor proceed ings are told in tho Kalispoll Beo of Sal Urdu v, as follows: \Percy do Wolfe, who was urrested a few clays ago ou receipt of a teio- gram from the United Stales marshal was released from custody yostorday evoning. Tho case was brought bo- foro Judgo Smith by Do W o lfe’s attoruoy, W. J. Brennan, who insti tuted haboas corpus proceedings, and as a result his rcloaso followed.” For good values in trunks, hand bags, valises and telescopes como to Parrott’s Sz Moado's, Sholby. Plants Poisonous to Stock. Ex Senator T. C. Power, president of tho stato board of sheep commis sioners, has received from S. Fortier, diroctor of tho experiment slut ion at tho Agricultural college, samples of plants indigenous to Montana, that are poisonous to stock, also samples' of plants supposed to be poisonous to stock. They uro fastened on card board, labeled with the scientific and Bryan’s Followers In Ohio Another Meeting. Call Cleveland, July KU--The official call of the “ Bryan democrats” of Ohio w’us issued today, it is addressed to \tho Bryuu democrats of Ohio” and charges that tho Ohio convention repudiated tho two last democratic national platforms and that the action of the convention was the result of a conspiracy, “ mapped out at the head* common name and in a glass covered quurters in Now 5 ork. frame. Director Fortier of tho experi mental station of the Agricultural college, is prepared to furnish similar samples to others desiring, them, mounted uud framed for $8 till for each set with (ho expressago added. Tho experiment station charges only tho uctual cost of the cardboard and (ho flaming. The samples of the plants known to ho poisonous to slock and «hero found aro as follows: Lupino- -Lowlands, foothills. Larkspur Upland, foothill.-. Water parsnip In wet ground-. Loco weed -Dry uplands. Douth cam as uplands. Vollow flux In all situations. Tho list of plants supposed lobe poisonous to stock are: Choke cherry—Along streams. Erioguum -Dry tiplunds. Baneberry- - Low woods. Prairio poa — Upland plains. Milkweed— Low ground. Wild parsnip—Low meadow. Spring anemone- Hillside. Dogbauo--Dry hillside. The call concludes as follows: \ I f the action of this convention stands iinrebukcd, then it must bo under stood that tho democratic party, as such, hns repudiated the principles ouuiiciatod iu tho Kansas City plat form and ratified and approved of the course pursued by Hq* republican party’ on the money question. If the democratic party abandons the prin ciples laid down iu the platforms of |!-!ii; and IIMIII, then it may as well close its political career at once— (hero is little else of importance lo light for.” Glanders.

Tho secretary of tho interior, in a decision received by Register George D. Greono, of the Helena laud office, holds that an Indian woman married to a whilo man, severs her tribal rela tions and takes citizenship with her husband. Neither she nor any chil dren, the issue of such a marriago, are entitled to such an allotment. Although tho decision does not in volve any now principle, it has not horotoforo boon held applicable to tho rights of half-breed children. Tho decision is in tho case of tho United Slates against Enuxis Buck- land involving allotments No. 150 and 207, taken by her children, Alfred and Roland Buckland. - The Indian woman married a white man named Buckland and claimed allotments for her children becauso they wero children of an Indian woman. Tho laud in question is section 21, north of range 8 east, and is about 15 milos from Fort Benton. Tho case did not como up bofore the Helena land offico, but was investi gated by a special agent from Wash ington sont out for that purpose. Commissioner Binu^r Herman hold that the woman, when she married the whito man, forfeited her tribal rights and her children wero not en titled to allotments. The allottees appealed to the secretary of the in terior, who affirmed the decision of prison public works,,$85ft,!> 12; board of char ities, $ltlt,!Mti; judiciary of Porto Rico, $](!(),(¡5(1. A careful study of the financial situation warrants the boliof that thero will ho raised from tho threo sources, namely, property tax, excise tax uud customs duties on imports from other countries other than tho United Slates the sum of over $2,0(10,0110. This would provide an excess of estimated receipts over expenditures. Tho governor fuither pointed out that “ of tho $2,000,000 refunding aci, there still remains not less than $000,- 000 to tho orodit of Porto Rico, which could bo used iu case of emergency, and which makes tho condition of the insular territory still moro secure and solid.
