The last shipment of cattle from Fort Benton for the season of ’ 91 was in a do on the 20th of November. StovmR in Dakota delayed the train so that 11 days were consumed in t.hepassage from Benton to Chicago. The steers were in good trim, however, on their arrival there, averaging 1250 pounds and bringing $4.10. Owing to a lack of accommodations at Steell, on the Canada & Great Falls railroad, the Montana Stage company have pulled off their four horse coach between Choteau aud that point and now run to the Falls via'Sun River in stead. This will give the livery men a chance to make a dollar once in awhile between here aud Stcelk’ The attention of parties desiring car penter work done is called to the adver tisement of H. C. Dodge in this issue. Mr. Dodge has been working lor Messrs. Burton & Allen this .summer aud has built several buildings for them, among which is the fine dwelling on the ¡Eureka canal. Mr. Dodge can build a log house or a mansion to suit the most particu lar. i gallop, ground. Tl wound up ij where they Gere later unscathed and broken.

Cooper ar- rivr yj frotn Lbe ear/it the first part of the wr;ok with a btf/uid of thoroughbred £ -hropshires and./Hampshire bucks and Awes which they / will breed to on their ranges hereafter/. These sheep were pro- cn/.ed from a ru/iiable breeder at Pon tiac, Michigan, and are of fine quality aud registered. While int'the corral here they were the subject of .much admire tion and fayorable crit icism. From what we heard about them we are of tlit- opinion that these breei Is will shortly supercede the Merinos ads the general verdict seemed to be that they excelled the latter both for mult ton and wool and that their hardihood! was extra rd inary. \ On Monday last C. J. Fei Uty, who for sometime past has been carrying one butcher shop at Choteau, started foi Georgia with a bunch of l worses, lb was accompanied by Pat. Crossen., lie left a man in charge of the buLcher shop where two or three quarters o i! beef were yet banging. Later on in the day bin numerous creditors called but Hound in 1 provision made for the pavmeait of hi.-, debts aud further investigation showen that h‘e had left his young wife, who i.- in a delic ite condition, withoutitny pro visiou for her support. Silverman <t Cohen then attached the butcher books Then other attachments were attempt ed but nothing could be found until Wednesday evening when $26 worth of oysters and fish came up from Greal Falls consigned to him. These were promptly taken by his creditors. It was also discovered that not only had lie driven off his own horses, but oth ers, also, and to which he had no clear title. Telegrams were sent to Great Falls and Big bandy culling upon the stock inspectors to detain him and the horses. Further inquiry into Mr. Feli ly ’s methods disclosed three or four beef hides cached in a privy vault back o! the jail and near his stable. One bore Litch Taylor’s brand. The others were in a bad condition for examina tion and the brands were not made out.
