A sheep herder named Charles
Yl'rng committed suicide yesterday
morning about 7 o'cuock at Hotchkis.'
rantlh, about "! miles from Milen City.
Yo'unrg hail been in Miles City for *ev.
eral weeks out of emuployment, during
which tim he he indulged in a protract
ed spree. He had been employed to
go to work on the ranch of H. R. Sel
way, a sheep man :p Tongue river,
and was on hi. way to the ranch. Ar
riving at Hotchkius' ranch on Tuesday
aight he stopped all night, and on
yesterday morning rose and taking a
double barrel gun went out in the
yard to the wagon which was stand
ng unblitched, and tying a piece of
string to each of the triggers, he
fasetened these to the wagon tongue,
and bolding the gun in his bands, he
pointed the muzzle to his face and
lerked it toward him so as to tighten
the cords and pull the triggers. Only
one barrel was discharged by this
motion, but that had the desired
effect. It blew oftt the whole of his
face and the top of hise head. Death
was instaItaeous.
No cause was assigned by the man
for the deed, and it is supposed that
the act was the result of despondency.
He bad previously been employed by
Geo. Myers and Mr. Snell, near Hath.
away, and was about 50 years old.
Justice of Peace Wm. Birkle will set
out for the place this morning, to.act
as coroner and officially determine the
caure of the mans death.
FIVE OF THEM RAG(;ED.

The thieves, who now prove to be
five in number, who broke into the N.
P. freight car as was mentioned in the
JoURNAL of yesterday, have been
ovebhauled and captured and most of
their swag recovered.
It seems that they tboarded the west
bound freight at Miles City, and
when above Forsyth, they'entered the
end door of one of the merchandise
ears by breaking rhe seal. They then
commenoed to throw off freight.
They were discovered by the train
men who sought to naill up the ear
and bold the thieves prisoaner. whom
they Jumped off and made away.
Upon tnformation by telegraph to
Miles City, Sheriff Irvine organised a
party and started In pursuit, but
failed to And them, owing to a bellef
thatthey had gone farther west. In
stead of taking this route they out
out across the country and made .br
the Cheyenne Indian camp, near Fort
Keogb, whete they proceeded to bart
ter their booty to the indians. A
number of the Indians bought shirts
aLd boots, while the lquaws tought
ribbons and silk remnants. H. C.
Thompson, of the Fort, sezlsed on two
of the men and the Indians delivered
up all the stuff they bhad received
from them.
Thrte of the men came to town last
night and were making their way to
board the west bound peseuger when
Deputy Sherlff Eph Davis tkok them
In aharge, his arrest being made upon
the suspicious cheracter of their
actionr. The whole five are now in
jail. The names of the men are
James Droyer, Chris Campbell, GUo.
Main, David Main and A. Beamy
Yesterday a parly of Ch yenne
soouts went out to see if they could
recover any of the goods that were
thrown out alone the track. A bag
was found ooutelaing a quantity of
goods, being cears in boxes, bottles of
hair oil, packages of tobaoco, remnants
of silk, and ribbon and boots. One of
the men when arreted had on three
of the stolen shirts and another had on
two, besldes two of their own.
Greeitcret is due H. U. Thompom,
at the Fort, and his party of Inude,
for the effolcent work they did in aM

We would be plea'ed to know of man

Why stty smae Mae a silamoa.
Why is our hour divided into sixty
minutes, each minute into sixty m.
ds. etc.I Simply and solely because
in Babylonia there existed, by the
sid. of the decimal system of ntio n,
another system, the sexgdzal1
which counted by sixties. Why th
number should have been chosen, is
clear enough, and it speaks well for
the practical sense of those ancient
Babylonian merchants. There is no
number which has so many divisors
as sixty. The Babylonian's divided
the sun a daily journey into twenty
four parasangs, or 720 stadia. Each
parasung or hour was subdivided into
sixty minutes. A parasang is about
a German mile, and Babylonian as
tronomers compared the progress
made by the sun during one hour at
the time of the equinox to the prog.
re made by a good walker during
the same time, both accomplishing one
parang. The whole course of the
sun during the twenty-four equinoc
tial hours was fixed at twenty-four
pamsangs or 720 stadia, or 36(0 de
Ere
This systiem was I anded on to the
Greeku, and Hippaichus, the great
philosopher, wholved about 150 BC.,
introduced the Babylonian hour into
Europe. Ptolemy, who wrote about
150 A. D., and whose name still lives
in that of tlh Ptolemaic system of aa
tronomy gave till %%ider currency to
the Babylonian way of reckoning time.
It was carried along on the quiet
stream of traditional knowledge
through the ljddle Ae and, strange
to say, it sailed down afely over the

cow herself, as she does not want her
spoiled by endless attention. Since
the crops 'ave been gathered the cow
has been runniug in the fields, sad
the brush of her tail got filled with
cockle burrs. One morning last week
the lady went into the pen to milk,
and while she was performing the
duty, the cow switched her tail into
the neatly done up hair on the lady's
head. The burrs caught, and the lady
dropped her pan of milk and began to
entangle her hair. The opertion dis
turbed the cow, and she began to
prance. The lady grabbed the tail
with both hands, and said: '0So
wench I so wench 1" but the wench, not
liking the grip, started in a trot
around the pen. The lady rtled
the household by her shriek, and a
negro woman ran to her rescue, butshe
had to return to the house for a pair
of scissors. The cow was driven into

sticking to the lady's head. She wet
