This unique and remarkable performance v.is staged in the wild and unexplored regions of the Snowy mountains, near the historic ruins of Craig’s cabin, w here now stands the flourishing lumber mill, operated bt- Fred Sibley, leader of the band of* iapine sav-operating in that region.At first his story was accepted withconsiderable doubt, but as Fred is very seldom given to exaggerations or fabrications of any kind, especially where he is concerned, our readers will therefore feel inclined tc place undue credence to the remarkable good fortune of the Snowy mountain lumberman.Shortly after supper, he left campwith the express purpose of securing a little game for the larder, and had rot proceeded far when, as he was resting beside a creek, he spied two red foxes standing upon a slope, one, on each side of a rock. Raising the rifle to his shoulder, he fired, striking the rock square in the eerter. The rock split in two. skilling both foxes. The recoil of the gun knocked Fred into the creek, and when he came to the surface he had an extra prime bearer in one hand and a mink in the other, while all of his pockets were bulging with trout. The weight of the fish was too big a strain on his? weakened suspenders, and one of them broke with such force that it killed a partridge which happened to be flying by at that instant. While it all happened so quickly that it left Fred somewhat dazed, he finally recovered sufficiently to reach camp for assistance In bringing in the game.—Larina Independent.Beets in the Ground.*The early setting in of winter has played considerable havoc with the beet harvest, as did the summer drouth with the grain crop. Truly it appears Montana is unusually hard hit. It la estimated between 1,500and 2,000 tons of beets remain in the ground unharvested and the hard freezes of the past two weeks makesit practically impossible to take them from the ground. There are perhaps1.000 tons at different dumps downthe valley yet undelivered, probably 50 per cent of the year’s crop will be unsaved entailing a loss of something like $150,000. It is pretty well given up by the sugar company that but little more if anything will be accomplished this season. The sugar beet factory at Sheridan is closed because no beets are available. Thus the sugar supply continues to be cut shorter and shorter.—Hardin Tribune.gunshot wound said to be the resultof an attempt to hold up two China men in their cabin in the north pari of town According to the story told by the Celestials, they were aroused just after midnight Sunday by a loud knocking at their door and were told that an officer wanted admittance When the door was opened Trumphill entered and demanded money.
