THE LAST DRIVE.
Stockmeo Believe that Cattle-Driving
Northward Will Soon-Have to
be Abandoned.
DEnVER, Col., July 28.- Cattlemen who
now have their herds going north on the
great cattle trail have decided upon a move
which will prove sensational news to cat
tlemen throughout the west. It is an
agreement among the owners to face-about
the 50,000 head now on the trail and drive
them back into Texas. The reason for so
doing is because there is absolutely no
market for the cattle, and to turn the'
herds back is the only solution to the dif
ficulty into which the cattle owners find
themselves involved.
The meeting at which this conclusion
war arrived at was held in the rooms of
the Cattle-growers' association.
This action is a most important one, in
asmuch as it practically removes from ex
istence forever the long-used cattle trail
for the transportation of cattle. Such a
decision, fraught with such vital results.
was only made after it became apparent
that no remedy could be depended upon.
The cause of the trouble lies principally
in the exaggerated nature of the informa
tion affecting the stock market. After the
herds had started the fact became known
that Wyoming wanted no cattle whatever,
and besides was hostile, owing to the ru
mored existence of Texas fever. Colorado
had a sufficient number tosupply her own
demand, whilst Montana and Dakota in
stead of famishing for beef, had plenty of
steers of their own raising.
In future cattle will be transported
north by rail. In previous years the great
cattle trail was as broad as cattlemen de
sired to make it. Gradually it was en
croached upon by settlers until the cattle
men found themselves compelled to fol
low a certain beaten path. Last year the
secretary of the interior designated a strip
three mileewide, extending from north to
south on the line of eastern Colorado as
the limits of the trail.
About six years ago this order was
countermanded and the strip thrown open
to settlers. In fact, it. was pretty well
settled up before the last order, and the
cattlemen found themselves almost com
pletely shut out. At all points along the
trail they were met with obstacles. They
were compelled to pay ransom for grass
eaten, and frequently had to make detours
to avoid settlements. This added greatly
to the exDense of the drive, and did more,
perhaps, than any other thing to cause
cattlemen toabandon the trail.
The Late Mormon President.
SAIr LAKE CITY, July 28.--John Tay
lor, the president of the Mormon church,
whose death was made public yesterday
has been somewhere near Salt Lake for the
last two years, but his hiding place was,
unknown to the Gentiles. His funeral
will take place to-morrow at the taber
nacle.
Joseph T. Smith, a nephew of Joseph
Smith. the founder of the Mormon church,
may succeed Taylor as president, but
George Q. Cannon is and has been the
real ruler of the Mormons.
Taylor had a rather'busy career. He
was born in England, in 1808. and became
a Methodist preacher in his youth. He
went to Canada in 1829 and joined the
Mormon church there. He became an
active supporter of Joseph Smith, who
sent him to England in 1839. He was the
first to preach Mormonism in Ireland.
Taylor returned to the United States and
was present when the people killed Joseph
Smith and broke up the Nauvoo settle
ment. He 'subsequently edited Mormon
papers. In 1880,'he was elected president
of the Mormon church in place of Brig
ham Young. He. had eight wives and
many children.
Two Railroad Men Killed.
CRIcAGo, July 28.-An accident to the
Philadelphia & Chicago express on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, was caused by
a misplaced switch. The express ran into
a freight standing on the siding at York,
Indiana killing the engineer and fire
man of the express and severely injuring
the engineer of the freight train. The ac
cident was caused by an attempt to wreck
the train, as a switch is known to have been
misplaced an hour before the arrival of
the train.
Philadelphia. Flooded.
PHma.AE 'PHIA, Ju!y 28.-Last night's
heavy rains increased the damage at the
falls of the Schuylkill. The water rushed
down the hilly sides,.and at 1 o'clock this
morning a roaring stream six feet deep
passed down MlfBfn street. On many
streets the lower floors of the houses and
buildings were'washed away. The loss
will reach over $100,000.

hold its broad-gauge terminus at Butte,
but will push out to make active contest
for the traffic of other portions of the ter
ritory. The Montana Union is not con
ducted in a manner satisfactory to the
Union Pacific and is rapidly becoming in
such condition that something must be
done to put it in repair. Neither the
Northern nor the Union are doing any
thing in this direction. The Northern
Pacific is building an independent line to
Butte as rapidly as possible and the con
clusion, is that the Union Pacific intends
to retaliate by building an independent
broad-gauge road to Helena, Bozeman and
other points on the Northern Pacific to
make active competition in traffic. This
is the drifit of talk in railroad circles and
it is liable to take definite shape at any
time.
Prominent Visitors.
Col. Broadwater and Major Maginnis
who arrived in town late Wednesday, left
about 10 a. m. next day for Fort Benton,
where they will meet Mr. Hill and party
to-day. Colonel Broadwater who has
i ven close attention to the construction
of the Helena and Butte division of the
Montana Central reports satisfactory pro
gress in that quarter. He is pleased with
the signs of growth which he saw here
and predicts great prosperity for all north
ern Montana.
Major Maginnis walked about the city
observing with a critical eye
the new buildings and expressed much
sati-faction at the progress which has been
made. Since his former visit here MajorMa
ginnis has been to the end of the Montana
extension and he also met Mr. Hill in St.
Paul, where he spoke a good word with
success for Fort Benton.
President Hill is on his way to Fort
Benton and Great Falls. He came in his
private car to the end of the track, whence
he is.proceeding by conveyances that
have been provided, over the line ot the
road to F'ortAssinaboine. A conveyance
was to be sent out from Fort Benton to
day to meet Mr. Hill at 24-Mile Springs
and convey him to the city. After visit
ing Great Falls Mr. Hill may return to
Fort Benton and go thence to St. Paul by
steamer and railroad or he may return to
the end of the Manitoba track where his
car will await him.
In Fort Benton the approach of Mr. Hill
who is accompanied probably by Mr. Ea
gan and others has caused quite a stir and
preparations are being made to give him a
public welcome. The Ricer Press of
Tuesday said: "Mr. J. J. Hill, the head
and front of the Manitoba railroad sys
tem and the most enterprising and able
of the railroad magnates in the west, will
be in the city in a few days, his first visit
to this favored portion of northern Mon
tana. Fort Benton is already under obli
gations to Mr. Hill for favors granted, and
under the liberal policy that distinguish
es his railroad management will doubt
less have further reasons to regard the
Manitoba chieftain with good favor. It
need not be suggested to our enterprising
citizens that his sojourn here should be
made as pleasant as possible and that he
is entitled to the "freedom of the city"
and all proper consideration. There is at
least ene very important matter affecting
the interests of the city, as well as other
towns in the territory on the line of the
new road, that Should be prop erly present
ed to him during his sojourn. To that
end a meeting of the board of trade ought
to be held at once, so that this matter and
probably others that may be suggested
may be acted upon in the proper man
ner."
Freight Cars Wrecked.
BUTTE, July 29.--[Special to the Tri

o'clock a wreck occurred to a freiglt train
on the Utah & Northern by which ten
cars and their contents were smashed.
The wreck took place at Feeley station,
about twenty miles below Butte and be

and no lives were lost no particulars have
been obtained. The wreck delayed the
south-bound train until midnight.

A BIG SCHEME.
Millions of Acres of Land in a Desert
Claimed Under an Old Span
ish Grant.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.-Prominence
is given here to certain facts in connec
tion with the Casa Land company which
has been organized at Cheyenne, Wyom
ing, with a capital of $25,000,000. Edward
Sickle of New York, J. A. Benson of this
city and John A. Reavis of Missouri, are
the directors of the company. The com
pany was organized to improve the Peralta
grant, lying between Phoenix and Tucson
in Arizona, and consisting of 5,000,000
acres. The land was originally owned by
Peralta, an old Spanish settler, who ob
tained a patent from the Spanish govern
ment, such as the United States agreed to
respect in the treaty of peace with Mexico.
Peralta died, leaving as his heir an'only
son. Many years ago this son went to
Spain and died in the Castilian capital.
No claimant appeared to the estate until
three years ago, when Reavis appeared
with a girl of dark complexion, a native
Californian about 18 years of age,whomihe
had married and whom he introduced as
the grand-daughter of Peralta and heiress
to the now very valuable Peralta grant.
To strengthen his claim, Reavis made a
trip to Spain, and about six months ago
returned bringing with him an elaborate
parchment from the authorities of Mad
rid, conveying to his wife who was recog
nized the daughter of Peralta, a perfect
title to Peralta grant. She was further
honored by having the title of Baronesse
of the Colorados conferred upon her.
THE OTHER VERSION.
A newspaper here prints an interview
with a resident of Woodland, Yolo county,
California, who says that the girl is a
daughter of a Missourian named Tread
well, by an Indian woman. She worked
for a number of Woodland families until
married to Reavis. On. the 6ther hand,
Director.Benson claims that she is Spanish
and asserts that tle girl's mother died at
San Diego in child-birth. He says the
girl accompanied Peralta to Woodlapd
where he died, there she fell into the bands
of Treadwell, who was a sheep-herder.
The publication has occasioned more than
ordinary interest owing to the prominence
of the men said to be interested in the
tract including Robert G. Ingersoll and
Frank Hurd of Ohio.
Glorious Uncertainties.
It seems to be a generally accepted
proposition that the Manitoba railroqd is
going through to the Pacific coast- but
which way is a question. The Missoula
T'imes of this week is confident it will be
built through Missoula, coming down the
Big Blackfoot, and the New Idea has it
that the road will be extended via Ana
conda and will first strike Corvallis in the
Bitter Root valley. It is with such glorious
uncertainties as these life in the Rocky
mountains is kept at high pressure.-Desr

will be absent from the territory about a
month.
t'he Great Tunnel.
HELENA, July 29.-The Wickes tunnel
is now about 350 feet under cover at this

more liberally than any other branch of
farm industry, and we predic that the in
terests will emerge from this transientde
pression even more strongly intrenched
in public favor than before. There is no
one seeking to get rid of good cattle, but,
on the contrary, there are thousands of

Invtation Committees Moving-The
President tells Them to

WASeniGTON, July 29.-The president
- yesterday received a telegram from Sena
tor Harris saying that a committee of one 1
hundred citizens of Memphis was coming 1
to Washington to invite the president to
visit that city during his western trip.,
The president telegraphed to Senator Har
ris in reply to use his influence to prevent t
any movement of the sort. He said that
t while he would be pleased to see
the people of Tennessee at the capital
that they ought to be spared a long jour
ney to Washfngton during the heated term
on a mission of this sort when an invita
I tion sent by mail would be as much effec
tive and as much appreciated.
Similar answers will be sent to other
western cities where arrangements are
being made to send committees bearing
invitations to the president. It is stated
at the white house that the president will
give the same consideration to invitations
received by mail as to those borne by com
mittees no matter how large and imposing
they may be.
f DENVER WANTS HIM.
9 DENVER, July 29.-The first steps to- t
wards forwarding an invitation to the
president to extend his trip as far as Den
ver have been undertaken. The officers t
s of the Graystone c'uh (Democratic,) have
I addressed the officer of the United and
Arapahoe Republican clubs and also the i
Arapahoe D :-aocratlc club, asking them I
to co-oper: te L.t the matter and suggest- t
r ting that the c :amber of commerce and 1
I board of trade be requested to take joint c
j action with them. It is also proposed that
t the county authorities and governor be
asked to aid the carrying out the plans
s formed so as to insure success. The in
vitation is devoid of political or partizan c
feeling and the desire is for all citizens of t
Denver to join hands in extending as
r hearty a welcome as any other place in c
the union. '
THE PRESIDENT'S PLANS. C
WASHI-eTON, July 20.-A delegation
from Kansas City called at the white t
house on Friday to invite the president to n
visit fhat city during his western tour in r
October. There were one hundred in the E
party, including ladies. When the presi. v
dent came in the chairman of the party, c
G. H. Allen, was introduced and spoke at
some length regarding the invitation. The c
1 president replied, expressing his pleasure r
at the cordiality of the invitation and its a
L non-rliotical aspect. He expressed a strong
desire to see the west and said the consid- n
eration he had already given the subject f
and the heartiness and sincerity of this a
r invitation induced him to accept it at a
once. He could not now fix the exact
date, but said that in general the time
would be between October I and 15. The
president's remarks were loudly cheered, I
and when the applause had subsided, he
turned to Mr. Allen and remarked sotto a
vocce, "If this is an evidence of the way v
you will treat me when I go to Kansas h
C ity I don't know when I shall be able to '
leave there." The president then spent c
some time in examining the very handsome t
volume containing 21,000 names signed to ii
the invitation, and was then introduced to
the ladies of the party, who told him
frankly they were not half as desirous of
t seeing him in Kansas City as they were
- Mrs. Cleveland. The delegation then h
viewed the various rooms in the white b
house, and afterwards went to the war de
l partment, where they were photographed c
in a body. i
WILL MAZE A LONG TOUR. a
There is no boubt the president has de
termined to make an extended tour
through the western states in the early
autumn. If he goes early, he will proba
hly visit first Chicago, then Milwaukee,
St. Paul and Minneapolis, returning to
Washington by way of Omaha, Atchison,
Kansas tity and St. Louis. If the trip is
taken later the route will be reversed, so v
as to visit St. Louis first, and then Kansas f
s City, Atchison, Omaha, Minneapolis, St. b
Paul and Milwaukee, returning home di- n
Srect from Chicago. The president hopes t
to be able to make this trip in daylight, so
as to see the country.

combat they beheld Constable Gilbert
Engel and John Bordeaux, a gentleman
who makes a living by discounting city or

small men and neither have enjoyed a
reputation of obeing puenaceous, so the
crowd looked on in amazement and for a
moment encouraged each of the combat.
