A very important decision was ten

Melville A. Cochran, lieutenant

A gentleman just returnedfrom the

A few days ago two young bearu
walked right into the door yard of
Thomas I. McMurray, of Victor.
Mr. McMurray's daughter, who re
cently arrived from Kentucky, after
trying in vain to set the dog on them,
ran for broom and in true womanly
fashion drove the bears out of the

want any such looking things about
the place." She was from Kentucky.

head of young cattle from the Teton
range to the Canadian Pacific, thence
to take them to Chicago. The lasger
part of the bunch belong toCapt. H ig
gins, the remainder to Sam. Mitchell

the Northern Pacific might have ob
tained about 8,ooo head from the
Teton country but for its stubborn
policy. The Canadlian road takes the
cattle at $135 per car, $5 less than the
former comnpany, and the Canadian
cars are larger, betides. George goes

The. preliminary trial of Edward
Rehberg, designed to establish his in
nocence or guilt in the matter of the
death of his daughter Clara, which
occurred at the Sister's Hospital a
short time ago, caused by a terrible
beating, took place in the probate
court yesterday. Five or six witnesses
were present, among them being
three children of the accused. The
testimony appeared to show that the
poor child was whipped and ill-treated
by almost the entire famly. When
the stepmother was not whipping her
the father was, and if not him the
oldest daughter. Her life must have
been a perfect hell on earth, until
finally death released her from all
mortal suffering.
After the conclusion of Rchbergh's
trial the case of his wife, Louisa Reb
berg, charged with the same offense
was called. Judge Davis reseaved
his decision in the case of Edward

Those fmot streluousoly urging an
exclusive gold currency have never at
tempted to show where the necessary
supply of this precious metal was to
e secured. It as well known that for
a number of years the production of
gold, notwithstanding toe widely ex
tended field of operation, hais rapidly
neclined. A large portion of the gold
now obtained comes from the prosecu
tion of silver mining ; let this nluustay
he paralysed and the production of
V 'l will be still further decreased.
Te amount of gold now uilned is not
outllcient for the monetary retuire
monts of tile people at pri'ent, evenl
as a basis of currency. Witlh a die
creasinl supply and an increasing de
mand gold cannot long maintain that
stability of value which a reliable

can gold become the currency of the

supply of material for that purpose.
