HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
The Knights of the Road at Work.
Although what are known in Montana
parlance as " road agents " have plied their
vocation occasionally against stages on the
Utah, Idaho and Montana road, it has been
rare, indeed, since the Vigilantes swung
ul, these gentry so lively, that any travel
lers have been molested in Montana. In
fact, a man carrying $10,000 could travel
alone a hundred miles in Montana more
safely than he could travel the length of
Broadway in New York. But matters
seem to be changing a trifle. One instance
of highway robbery has occurred, and
unless the perpetrators are discovered and
punished, other hard and hard up charac
ters may follow the example set, and when
Chinese victims fail, emboldenedbysuccess
they may fall upon any traveller and de
spoil him of his treasure. The instance
mentioned is this: Gim Chung Lung & Co.
are Chinese merchants in Deer Lodge.
They sell considerable quantities of goods f
in French gulch. On Sunday last, one of
the partners, known as "Charley Young."
was sent into French gulch to collect. He a
collected 46 oz. of gold (value, $885) and t
with this and a $5 greenback started from
Frenchi gulch to Deer Lodge on Monday. I
Between 8 and 9 a. m., while coming out I
of French gulch on horseback, he was n
intercepted by two men on foot and mask.
ed. One was armed with a shot gun, the
other with a pistol. They ordered him to
dismount and throw up his hands, keeping A
him covered meantime with their weapons. s1
lie was then made to lie down while they
searched him and found the $5 greenback.
They then went to the horse and took the
gold dust from the cantinas. One of the
men, a large one, carried the pistol ; the
other was an average sized man and carried
the shot gun. After robbing him the
larger man proposed to kill him, but the i
smaller man said: "No, we had better 1
not kill him." They then told him to go. t
Charlie started toward French gulch, but k
they made him turn about, telling him to 01
go to )Deer Lodge, that if he returned to
French they would kill him. On this sug- at
gestion he came here. The fact of the li
men being disguised and of Charlie not it
being able to give a very intelligent de- ft
scription of them, increases the difficulties B
of tracing up the perpetrators. They were
probably some hard up and desperate men el
on their road out of the country and were se
well away toward Corinne before the officers qi
here were apprised. Sheriff McAndrews fc
has sent as good descriptions as possible it
down the road and is trying to overhaul ai
them. It is not only a duty to the parties
robbed but to the public to leave nothing g
tudone to accomplish their capture, and, c
captured, they should have the extreme al
penlty of law. If these first highwaymen p
are brought to grief, it will check propensi
ties of that nature in others. If it is
indulged in furth sand against white men
we wouldn't give mrch for the chances of
the perpetrators if c.<ght in a miningl
camp. In the meantimb travellers with
valuables might as well go l couples and
heeled. These fellows don't aht portable
lead mines under their clothes. i

Mr. R. M. Ferguson, of Emmaetsburg,
who is in town, says the dis-establishment
of their Postofflice will very seriodiiy incon
venience them, that at least 50 oiItieas re
ceive mail there, and that the people will be
very indignant at the action. We consider
this the most objectionable change that has
been made in West Side Postal affairs, and
the office should be re-established.
A petition, signed by Judge Knowles,
District Attorney Mayhew and thirty-one

Bannack last term to one year's imprison

in Beaverhead valley, the Governor issued
a conditional pardon thereon that he for
ever abstain from intoxicating liquors, and
Long was released Tuesday morning.
The Manitoba Free Press says Jack De
mers, of Frenchtown, revolutionized the
market there. He drove a lot of horses
and cattle through-esome 2,000 miles-and
put them on the market. Previous to his
arrival work cattle had sold at $165 to $175
per yoke, and other stock in proportion.
Mr. Demers put his stock in and broke the
prices selling cattle at $100 a yoke, cows
$30 and calves $10. As these were gold
prices, they were still pretty fair rates.
If handsome bibles and good canvassing

gilt lettering, and set you up as a worthy
citizen without taking breath. Seriously,
Mc. has a good print, well-bound Bible,
with much auxiliary matter of interest to
to any one who reads Holy Writ, and the
figures are reasonable for the works deliv
ered at your houses.
The NORTH-WEsT reckns that 1,500
men left Montana for the Black Hills. Too
high an estimate entirely.-Madiaonian.
We thought so too when the figures were
first stated to us. But Mr. O. J. Salisbury
estimates that in the past year the Overland
Franklin line has carried over between 400
and 500 men going to the Black Hills; up
to August 1st it was estimated 450 had
gone by steamers from Benton. This leaves
only 600 to be accounted for as going from
Bozeman and by private conveyance and on
foot to Franklin, and Mr. Salisbury believes
as many more went to Franklin as went by
coach. Don't you think now that 1,500
have gone? Virginia has not felt the draft
perhaps, nor did we,asthefirst Deer Lodgers
left this week, but the drain from the coun
try has been strong, nevertheless.

THEB TONGUE RIVER POST
will probably, and as I intimated last week,
not be built this season. News reaches us
from the command that all orders looking
toward its building have been coaunter
manded, and that a eamp only willbe made
for the season.
Bids for the beef, eattle, hay and grain
have been received and action is being
taken upon them.
CROOK AND TERRY
have at last joined forces, and are now
upon the trail of the Sioux, which lolsd
north. The troops are marching in the
direction of Powder river.
THE TRAITL
is a very large one-half a mile wide-and
the Sioux are estimated at 15,000, while
the command hardly musters 4,000. Mc
Cormick, who has just returned from
Tongue river, states that the Indians are
living upon their dogs and horses, and are
rapidly getting into a terrible bad-land
country, and one peculiarly adapted to
their tactics. He feels certain that a terri
ble engagement must have been had ere
now, and that the chances are against the
troops.
CROOK
had been surrounded by the Sioux, who
had succeeded in escaping between him
and Terry, gaining a start of three days.
Terry's wagon train was left at the Rose
bud, while Crook's was on Goose creek,
the men of both commands marching in
the lightest possible order with fifteen
days' rations, which were to cover twenty
five days, if necessary.
Crook had lost some sixty men by deser
tion-raw men, however.
THE FAR WEST,
under command of Capt. Miles and a squad
of men, is patrolling the Yellowstone, and
every precaution is adopted to prevent
escape of Indians that way.
THE CROWS
did not reach the Rosebud until the com
mand had moved, when, in consequence of
some misunderstanding, they turned about
and are now returning to the agency.
THE SIOUX
have destroyed nearly 4,000 sacks of grain
stored at the mouth of Powder river, and
had decamped with some of the fiat boats
there moored. They do not seem to be
short of ammunition, but the almost total
absence of game may yet demoralize them.
IN GENERAL.
McCormick reports the troops in good
spirits-is enthusiastic regarding the
Tongue river country, which he describes
as the finest he ever saw, and thinks Mon
tana cannot hold her own should military
protection open that country to settlement.
Crook's command found a poor fellow,
who had escaped wounded upon a wounded
horse from the Custer disaster, dead by
his horse in a ravine sixty miles from the
scene of the slaughter. He had been shot
through-his horse had evidently died as
he ran, and the victim who rode him had
perished from starvation and gangrene.
I write hurriedly. The news has just
arrived and the mail is closing.

Xother shipton's Propheoy.
Some days ago the Postmaster at Quartz
Creek submitted us disputed versions of
the Prophecy of Mother Shipton, published
first in 1488, and asked us to decide which
was correct. Not having a copy at hand,
we inquired for it and the printed copy
was sent us by Mrs. Margaret P. Thomas,
3wendale. Following, we believe, is the
correct reading:
Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidente fill the world with woe.
Around the world thought shall dy
In the twtnkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wondemrs do,
Things now strange shall yet be true.
The world opeside down shallbe
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
8hall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black In green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found and shown
In a land that's not now known.
lIre and water shall wonders do
England shall at last admit a Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty one.

Business atters at Deadwood City
No Established Law.
Emrola New Noare-Wase
In my last I promised to give you
THU BUSINEIS PcoSPECTS
of this place. Among the late arrivals in
that line of traders are SoL Star and Seth
Bullock, their stock consisting of queens
ware; also J. K. P. Miller and W. McK.
Dennee, of the late firm of Osborne & Den
nee, Deer Lodge, with asparate stocks of
goods. McPherson,of Sparks &McPherson
formerly of Helena is the partner of Mr.
Miller. They intend establishing a Bank
ing House in connection with their gro
cery business.
But all business is over done to an alarm
ing extent, every person who could muster
together enough to load a pack animal
started for the Hills and opened a store;
50 lbs. of flour and a box of crackers is
considered an ample stock to commence
with. In view of this, goods of all descrip
tions have fallen very low; so low that
numbers of freighters have been obliged to
sell out their entire load forcost of freight,
the men that shipped them refusing to pay
seven cents per pound as it was more than
they could realize out of the most of their
shipments. And at the present time there
is no business man making any money. I
doubt very much if they can save them
selves. From all directions trains are con
ing in loaded and all making for Dead
wood. What the result will be is hard to
predict as this is not and never will be a
prosperous mining country. Already they
are looking towards the Big Horn country
for relief,but drowning men catch at straws
and every man in this place is searching for
straw. I believe I am searching for one
iasuelf; but as long as I can keepAt .wosf
out of the door I will not call for assistance.
We have also a large number of
VERY BAD, HARD CHARACTERS
among us who openly commit murder with
out provocation. Neither law nor order
prevails ; we have no organized system to
punish criminals and our government has
committed a grave error in allowing the
settlement of this country without opening
it by proclamation, giving the Governor
power to organize a county and appoint
county officers, and ensuring peaceable cit
izens protection against the vagabonds who
infest this country. A few days ago Wild
Bill, the noted Indian scout, fell by the
hand of an assassin. A trial and acquital
was the result. Numerous other crimes of
a like nature have been committed. All go
unpunished, leaving us in a state of chaos.
I have not received your paper;I mourn the
loss but I have to sigh for many a many
a good thing here that I cannot get.
Yours truly,
T. C. BRADY.

Asa and John Sample passed through
here Thursday with a band of 400 horses,
the largest band that has come up from the
lower country this year. They were pur
chased at Lewiston, Idaho. Among them
we noticed several very fine and blooded
animals, but the majority of them were
trading stock, designed for the Fort Benton
and Whoop Up trade. They report a rough
trip going down over the Lo Lo Fork trail,
wading through snow from eight to twelve
inches deep, and melting. They lost about
40 head coming up.-Missoulian.
Joseph Brown, the Horse Plains mail
carrier, informs us that the Indians on his
route cause him a great deal of trouble by
using his boat on the Pen d'Oreille river,
and have lately taken the boat and set it
adrift, thereby causing Jo to construct a
raft whereby to ferry himself over and
preserve Uncle Sam's communications in
tact. His mode of propelling the raft de
serves a patent. He drives his horse into
the water, and heading him for the oppo
site shore, Jumps on the raft and grabs the
horse by his caudal appendage and sails
across, thereby saving himself a great deal
of exertion.-Miueouian.
POLITICAL POINTS.

Mr. Manton Marble, it is said, has with

Voorhees, of Indiana, who called Tilden
a "railroad wrecker," will take the stump
for him.
Governor Tilden says that if his trouble
with Kelly were political he would make
up, but asthe latter has aspersed his charac
ter "Never more be friend of mine."
Henry Watterson, alas! is neck deep in

The Westliche Post has been gaining a

A New York stationer has introduced a
lead pencil which is called the Democratic
pencil, and is soft at one end and hard at
the other.
Every now and then General Butler rises
above the political horizon of Massachu

might be produced by the apparition of a

Chief of the Mohave Indians, and saved the
life of Lieutenant Ives, who was making a
survey of the Colorado river. From these
facts the army officers argues it is probable
"Bison" is Sitting Bull. As a matter of
fact the story is out of whole cloth so far
even as the encounter with Ives is con
cerned. He publishes one of the most com
plete and graphic reports ever published by
the government, had no trouble with any
Indians, and gave portraits of the chiefs he
met. An incident like the above he would
have certainly narrated, yet no mention
whatever is made of it in his report. And
Sitting Bull was a prominent Sioux Chief
before the event narrated. "Army officer"
had better "wipe off his-sword."
Another interesting piece of bosh is the
story going the rounds of Charley Reynolds,
the scout, when overhauled, shooting down
his horse, making a breast work of him and
killing seventeen savages before he was
despatched. Any one who ever saw Indians
fight know they circle around theirenemy,
whether it be one man or a hundred.
Charley's breastwork of a dead horse would
have been poor protection with a dozen or
two Indians socking rifle balls into his back.
The Indians were thick enough but the
story is thin.
