Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, may say of his shori-iived bantling, '"Be headed by the congressional guillotine." The' case at Miles City against Black Wolf and followers for burning Zook and Aldereon's ranch has ended in the acquit^ tal of Black Wolf and the conviction of four of his followers, who plead guilty and were sentenced to five years each. It will be romembered that all this trouble arose from the foolishness of a man named Telford, who plowed a furrow in Black Wolfs scalp while shooting through his hat. It seems too bad that the only guilty one bas not been found and that the Indians are the only ones to suffer. "Little Bed Biding Hood," the Allard correspondent of Tlie Glendive Times, noeds to brush up his zoology a little. Three Mrs. Fartingtons in one sentence is a little too bad. Ho speaks of the •'in veterate" order and family insecta. In secta area class, not a family, and all ih sjcta are articulates, not invertebrates as is doubtless meant by "inveterate." If L. B. B.

Ten years ago he was consid ered crank or monomanic of the first water.. iffiin' flie.^ast five, years^iow erer.therohasfeeh a groat changer in Opin ion concerning cremation. Thinking men everywhere are joining the ranks of ere mationists and in the very near future we look for legislation on the subject, re quiring the incineration at least of per sons dying from contagious diseases. Experience has amply demonstrated that the most fruitful source of conta gion, especially in the south, is directly owing to the germs arising from infected bodies, How long stall the living suffer because of the foolish prejudice against cremation? It is time the law stepped in and protected its living citizens. In this part of the country wliere we aro not crowded for room and where there are no eontagious diseases to speak of crema tion is not so much of a necessity. In the crowded cities, however, the living are constantly surrounding and overrid ing the homes of the dead. That this leads to the spread of any contagious dis ease whose victim may be buried there is now beyond all doubt. Here, then, is where the reform should begin and where it doubtless will very soon. Every coun try in Europe now has legalized cre mation and any legislation passed in this country can find plenty of foreign precedents. We are heartily in favor of the movement which has lately received afresh impetus and our columns will be always open to communications on the subject .*•••- As an illustration of downright igno rance Dickinson justice carries the ban ner. As a display of legal learning it is a pitiable farce. That any man or set of men must be governed by the law as in terpreted by Dickinson methods is a burn ing shame. To an outsider it might seem better in a case of this kind to u®ticular ize, but we will#save that till some future time, merely stating the facti of which every one having legal dealings at Dick inson ia cognizant, that tie most of the expounders of the law there are so igno rant of the rules, that even if they erred wilfully they do not kiio^ enough to cov er up their tracks. We might be satisfied to let the dead buiy its dead in Stark county, but that Billings count should be underthe judicial jurisdiction of such amass of ignoranco is more than we can bear with equanimity. It is time we roused frem our lethargy and demanded a county organization so that we can de cide our own cases here. We' cannot possibly be in a worse condition and any change will be for the better. We are much stronger and wealthier and better able in every way to support a county or ganization than is Stark county. The ttme is coining, and we hope very soon, when We will have an efficient county ontanizatioh in Billings county. As long aft THE COW BOY is published we can promise our readers that no such ignor ance can gain power in Billings as now holds the reins in Stark. Dakota has again and again been disgraced by a cor^^ rupt county organization and as far as Billings county is concerned this will Cease.

On the 17th inst, the committee ap pointed by the Wyoming Stock Growers' association to go to Washington to advo cate the passage of the pleuro-puenumo nia bill, invited the stock men and com mission merchants of Chicago to meet them at the Grand Pacifle HoteL, The committeo men then argued to convince them that the bill was essential for the absolute protection of the immense stock interests of the west, pointed out to them that every stock association had passed resolutions urging its passage, and ap pealed to the commissien men to with draw their opposition. According to pub lished reports of the conference, no favor able progress was made and the commit tee went on to Washington.—[New Mexi co Stock Grower, The .cattle men of tlie ShonMn range sent a force of eight or ten men a few days ago to drive the cattle out of Arrow creek country this way, where the grass is better, and they have just'completed thetask. Tom Martin, who superintended the work, reports that a great majority of the cattle are in fine condition, and a large number of young calves are already to be seen, with every prospect of an un usually prolific crop of calves. They have ridden all over the country frequented by the cattle during the winter and found only :Jweuty-five^ dead ~Snimals, .which is lees than oneSfeier cent of the whole. This is scarcely Sie loss expected in summer by casu<iesjietc* so that the loss on the Shonkin range this winter on account of the severe weather has hardly been anything.—{Benton Biver Press. The enormous cattle possibilities of New Mexico have been known for a long time throughout the west, and Colorado capital has taken hold of an immense stock enterprise in that section of the country.

Harriman, the walkist,-apun his yarn for the boys Monday evening. Coming, so close, upon the heels of Fitzgerald's wonderful work, it elicited more interest: than was perhaps justified. Although fair heel-and-toe walker, Harriman is off color a%a pedestrian, having no record that we'remember. Six car-loads of young stock were un loaded here last week. They belong to Mr. Crosby, a LaCrosse lawyer^ho is^o ing to make an experiment on the Kffl deer ranges. Quite a little brefeze was cdose^ in, some circles here by the report that Mr. Messersmith had bronghi in a specfinen of quarts from the Killdeer which shows good color as gdd4 rock. It is said that parties have already departed for the neighborhood with a de sign to see what there is in the country of that nature.
