The state board of equalization have
prepared tables of the number, assess
nient per head and total value of sheep,
hoys, stock cattle and horses in the ilif
forent, counties of Montana, says the
Helena Independent. The stock
cattle does not include cows, thorough
breds or'bulls, and the horses do not in
clude thoroughbreds. All the counties
have sent in their returns except Cho
teau, and the board, after waiting a rea
sonable time, decided to give out the
Statement without the missing county.
The total number of stock cattle last
year was (121,742 ; this 'ear, exclusive of
Choteau county, it is 575,715 ; estimating
that Choteau has the same number as
last year. 113,941, the total for the state
would be 689,656. In 1891 the total
sheep reported were 1,517,753 ; this year, !
even estimating Choteau to have no j
more than last, the number should be
I,i78,848. The number of ho-ses report
ed in 1891 was 161,311; Allowing Cho
teau only the same as then, the total
this year should be 168,260. Last year
there were 6,062 hogs ; including Cho
teau at the same number as last, there
should he this year 7,040. The chances
are that Choteau has kept pace with the
.
increase in other parts of the state, and
that all the totals this year should be
souiewbnt larger. The board equalized
the value of sheep at #2.50 per head for
this year, horses #23.66, and hogs #5.
The averuge value of cattle being #12.75
at
in
ub returned, whereas the board only
made it #12.50 last year, there was none
casion to equalize values or. this class of |
livestock. i
The following tables will show the
number of cattle, sheep, horses and hogs
in each county last year, and the mini
her, average assessed value per head and
total assessed value for this year, omit

Stock KhIch Reduced.
The Northern Pacific has declared a
reduction of about two and a half per
cent on stock rates from Montana and
the Dakotas to Chicago. This is the first
reduction made on this traffic for two
years. It has been necessitated by the
competition of the Fremont & Elkhorn
road, which has penetrated into the
southern part of Montana and into Wy
oming, and manifested a disposition to
cut out all tiie cattle traffic from that
territory. The Northern Pacific has ap
parently regarded the cattle transport
trade from Montana and the Dakotas as
its peculiar perquisite for some years,
and has no intention of being summarily \
cut out by anv new railroad. The cattle- j
carrying business readies an enormous j
finure every season, and the reduction :
declared by the Northern Pacific will j
represent a loss to the company of sev- j
eral thousands of dollars for this season
alone. But it is thoroughly consistent j
with the principle upon which the
Northern Pacific does business, us ex
plained by Mr. Hunnaford. [
"When the Northern Pacific is in the |
field for h il\
il I H h
■articular business it pr
poses that its rates shall lie as low i
those of any competing line,
has to place its affairs in the
receiver.''
There is no immediate da
ever, of the Northern Pacific going into
bankruptcy on account of the cattle busi 1
ness, as even with the reduction it will
make a large profit. The ( ireat North
ern is apparently not competing for this
business at all. At least it has not
shown any disposition to reduce rates
even to the basis of the Northern Paci
fic.

Company I) of the Minnesota state
militia, Captain iiean in command. Hi
rived in a special car attached to Mon

for their trip on foot through the Na
tional Park. Their car was attached to
Monday's Park train and taken to China
bar, from where their mardi began, the
distance to Mammoth Hot Springs,
eight miles being covered on that date,
at which place the troops made their
first camp. Each soldier is t„ carry
strapped upon his shoulders not to ex
ceed twenty pounds of baggage. He
must have in his knapsack two woolen
blankets. In these he will roll himself
in his tent at night, and outside of them
he wili be covered bv a rubber blanket.
Twelve camps will be made during the
journey, the programme being mapped

ninth camp the company will leave the
road and take a trail across the moun
tains, and at the tenth camp will be at
an elevation of 12,000 feet above the sea
level. Captain Bean states that as the
company will lie out from St. Paul
eighteen days they may possibly remain
more tiian one day at some camp in the
Park and stop over one day on their re
turn to this city. The men wear the fa
tigue uniform leggings, campaign hat,
liroau slioes, woolen shirt, and will carry
knapsack,haversack, canteen, meat ration
can, tin cup, knife and fork and his riffe.
Sibley wall tents are to be taken in the
wagons, each one large enough to give
shelter to about fifteen men, and under
these the men will sleep on their blan
kets. There are two four-horse teams
anil six led horses, the latter to be used
in fording streams and climbing the
mountains.

At 12 o'clock Friday night the well
known tire alarm which lias become so
familiar to residents of the city during
the last few weeks, was sounded by the
night policemen and tiie switch engine
and in a few minutes the hose coin
punies were hurrying in the direction of
the residence of J. H. Moleott on D
street where Hames were seen bursting
from the roof of the carpenter shop situ
ated in the rear of Mr. Wolcott s resi
lhe
denee. As soon i
sounded Policeman
saddle horse at Rnbso
and attaching the hose cart to the
die started for the eolitiagration.
nine minutes after the tirst alarm was
sounded a coupling had been made on
the hydrant at ChitoII'h stable and in 15
seconds afterwards the thunes were nn
iler cmitrol. The carpenter shop was a
one and a half story frame anil was tilled
with lumber, carpenter tools and a small
quantity of bay. The tire was started
on the inside anil was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary. Mr. Wolcott be
lieves that it was set on tire by some
person for the object of appropriating
his tools as several of them were missing
after the tire. The loss resulting from
the damage to the building and lossof
tools amounts to about #350.
At 8 o'clock Sunday evening the
blacksmith shop or O. W. Hirst on C
street caught lire and the alarm soon
brought tiie fire company out with the
hose carts. Fortunately their services
were not needed as a large number of
people were passing along the streets in
that vicinity at the time and the dames
alarm was
unis procured a i
livery stable !
sc
e e ex inguis ie< with no loss except j
o îe km ( mg ana clothing of Mr. Hirst, ■
which were in the shop at the time. !
Hardly hud the excitement occasioned
by this alarm subsided when the city I
was again startled by the shrieks of the

time and tlie cuo wass soon whirling !
away in the direction of A. L. Love's
stable on Fifth s.reet, which was com
pletely enveloped in Humes. The Haines
had gained too much headway before
the alarm was sounded and about the
only service the company could render
was to extinguish the remains of the !

buildings from being ignited. I he stable 1
was being used by Nolan Bros, at the
time tiie tire occurred and contained a
horse, cow. buggy, harness anil about a ■
ton of buy. lhe Hre was started in the,
hay mo v and burned so rapidly that by j
the time the tirst person arrived the
whole building was in Haines. \\ hen j
j he doors were opened the cow was
driven out but the horse had become
suffocated by the smoke and perished
m the Hames. The buggy and harness
were also destroyed, and together with
the horse and hay resulted in a loss of j
about #225 to Nolan Bros. j
In addition to these Hres in Living
ston, the Hre tiend also visited the ranch
of John Ray, about 10 miles below the
city, Friday afternoon, destroying the
house and contents. No cause can be
assigned for the Hres at Wolcott s anil :
Lo'es except that it is tiie work of an [

Hres have all occurred when there was :

resulted in the selection of the following:
President, S. L. Holliday; vice presi

treasurer, W. E. Thompson; executive
committee, A. W. Miles, E. Goughnour,

It was decided that the best method of
accomplishing this object would be by
tendering the distinguished visitor a re
ception at the rooms of the Livingston
club. Committees were accordingly up
pointed to attend to the details,
posed of the following gentlemen :
Reception Mayor E. H. Talcott, Al

vbled for a banquet and informal recep
tlon - f,,r which printed invitations were
'esued nnd sent to ranchmen and others
throughout the county. i his was done
to give contestants having claims pend
in K in the interior department for odd
numbered sections within the limits of
of Bozeman to prosecute the case ill the
land department. The case has now
been advanced to a bearing before the

j yesterday gave those parties claiming
adversely to the railroad company an
the Northern PaciHe land grant and
upon that portion of the Crow reserve

their ease individually to the secretary.
It will be recalled that a number of
runchmen residing on the south and east
side of ttie Yellowstone in this vicinity
had settled upon and improved odd
numbered sections which the Northern
Pacific company cluims under tiie pro
vision of its grant, donating each alter

these ranchmen began a contest in the
name of A. H. Delone, one of their num
ber. for the purpose of testing title to
I these lands and employed \V. A. lines
opportunity to individually urge their
demands.

Hilly Gat«» Killed.
Billings Gazette : Train No. 57, west
bound, mangled and killed a man named
Billy Gates, on Sunday near Park City.
It was shown at the inquest winch was
held the same day by Coroner Chappie
that Gates had been stealing a ride on
the brake (>eani of the train and had
undoubtedly fallen under the cars. He
was frightfully mangled and lived but a
few minutes after the train passed over
him. Gates was well known in Bill
ings, having lieen in and around
here for several years. He came
from Mankato, Minn., first to work for
C. E. Warner on his horse ranch, and
afterward worked at odd jobs around
town anil eauntry up to tiie time of his
unfortunate death. Gates had attempt
ed to ride out of town several times dur
| the week. He was broke and evidently
headed for Livingston, where he ex
pected to get a job. He was a man of
! perhaps 35 years of age rather ill favor
ed and given to drink although a hard
worker when out of town. It is utider
i stood that he has relatives in Minne
1 sota. particularly an uncle who is reputed
to be quite wealthy. The remains of
I Wm. Gates were buried near where be
1 met his death.
