George Grinnell, wfll known through out this region, was reported to have been hanged by the Montana Stranglers recently. lie is spoken of here as a man who would not steal rattle, and it seems to be a case of personal enmity. The leader of the stranglers and Grinnell had some difficulty, in dividing buf falo robes a- few years ego, and it is sup posed that the hanging was the result of this misunderstanding. A passenger on last Saturday's east bound train saw a herd of buffalo graz ing about four miles from here. He be came terrible excited, and could hardly wait for the train to reach Belfield, so anxious was he to take a shot at the buf falo. Before leaving Belfield, he tele graphed the information to several of our ambitious hunters, and they also be came worked np. There was a sudden demand for horses, and the way they flew ftround we supposed a largo herd was Qear here. Finally a cloud of dust was seen in the eastern part of town, but it was hard to tell whether the Marquis de, Mores or William VanDriesche would get tho first shot. In about an hour they returned, and seemed surprised to hear that a buffalo hunt had been or ganized, but it was. afterwards learned that Howard Eaton's tame buffalo had a narrow escape. Howard says he will have them whitewashed and a lantern with & red light' attached to them, and hdpes that this tfiU lie sufficient to save the' lives of his pete. Grand Ball. On Thanksgiving.

GBIGOB LAKG, Western stockmen who buy young eastern stock cattle must be prepared to shelter them the first winter from the severe storms. No greater mistake can be made than to compel unaeelimated calves and ill conditioned yearlings to rustle for themselves and have no shel ter from the winter storms.—[Kansas Cowboy. Advices from the vicinity of Chan paign, ill, say that hog cholera is rag iug to an alarming extent along the Sangamon river. In Sangamon township, in Piatt, county, John Madden has lost 100 head, and many others each from 40 to 100. In Goose Creek township, H. F. Dillon has lost 200 head, IL & Mc Fadden, 150 and others have lost heav ily. Stallions on exliibitidn in Scotland are not awarded premiums as in this country. The awards are decided there by their get, which circumstance actually excludes the uncertain foal getter from succeesful competition.

They played severalselections during the morning's session, exciting gnat ap plause. The leader wields in place of a baton his silver mounted Derringer nearly afoot long.' One of the most startling and romantic features of border lite occWtted recently on the Wild Horse praire, thirty milts north of Los Angeles,when a band of wild horses, under the lead of anobl$ sorrel stallion, came galloping over the plain to reconnoiter 6 company of sur veyors engaged in making a survey of the tract. The band dashed towards Capt. Keller and his party of surveyor^* till within about 500 feet, when the leader halted in a grandly proud and defiant manner, with neck curved, nostrils distended, erect, and tail on dresrf. parade, and all the hand ranged then selves on each side of him like a squd of cavalry in a battle charge. After surveying the scene for a moment the leader galloped proudly away, followed Ty"the band in the most graceful and' dignified manner. The scene was most romantic, and the picture of the lordly leader, with his.most obedient subjects in their ficet fc&j graceful motions, was' worthy of an artistes pencil. There was another band of wild horses on the same prairie, under the leadership of a dark mahogany bay. stallion, with black mane, tail and knees. In this band there are two white horses, while the rest are bay and sorrel mainly. Few people are aware that at the base of the Sierra Madre. only thirty miles from this city, wild horses roam in theli native beauty and^erop the rich grasses that grow on Wild Horse Prairie. Yet such is the fact, and their slick appear ance ahd graceful motions are the admiration of all beholders.—[Los Angeles (Cal.)

A Des Moins, Iowa, corespondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press writes a4 follows concerning the mysterious deaths of cattle in Iowa and Minnesota: Two months ago thers was great fatality among liorses in westani county. The cause was tracsd to rt plant known as wild jWa, which grows on bottom lands along 'rivers all over the state. A recent extended mortality among cattle in the northern part of the state has been traced to another plant known to botanists as Limnactis minutulia. It is found extensively in Minnesota lakes,, in Okoboji and near]^ all lakes in Iowa It appears in July in the shallow water abont the shore. It IS round, nearly the size of a pinhead, and is suspended in the water in masses: In the latter part 'of the month it under goes several changes of color,' from greenish hue to that Of frost-bitten grass. It floats in muses on the shore undergoes decomposition, giving out peculiar sickening1 odor, which wUl recognizable by every person who has: frequented the shores of these lakes in. the months of 'July and August. For several' years farmers around Lakes Tetonka and Sakatah, in Minnesota^ north of Albert Lea, and around Okobo&' have lost cattle ii July in a very stiddeti and mysterious manner.
