The round-up partles are lorger and better divided, aa regards districts, this season than heretofore, and are In good shave to do first-rate work. Representatives of the small ownera, many of whom do not belong, to the Mon- tana Stock Growers’ assoclation, are also on the ranges dolng what they can to as- oist the aseociation round.ups and look- Ing out for the interests of the owners of small lots. Finer weather for branding and sltering could scarcely be desired. It is just warm enough and dry, excepting the showers that have fallen daring the last three nights., The fast fs that, al though the range is not suffering to any extent, yot the stockmen would be glad to seo more showers during the next few days. Every report thus far received of the ealf crop 1s good. The percentage of calves this year will be better than that of last year, It seems almost needless to ssy anything abont the conditfon of 1lve etock on this range, so much has been said of the splendid conditlon that our live stock s in. Even Texas steers that came in last fall are fat enovgh for beef, and you would not recognize states cattle that were turned loose on thix range last eeanon, they have changed so much for the better. They don’t trayel qulte so much as the Texans, and where whe conditlon was equal, the states cattle are ahead of the Texans in the mattor of present condition and In beef-making qualities. Reports from the round-up partics just received indicate that our previous reports of light losies were cor- rect, The losses ascertalned sra between two and three per cent. DISAPPEARANCE OF HORSE THIEVES. Reports from round-up partles that are working the Northern Pacific ranges show that the horse thleves have almost entirely disappeared from that portion of our territory, a fact partly accounted for by the vigorous weeding out that oocur- red up there last summer and fall, but more particularly is it caused by the ex- citement in the northwest terrltory of the Canadian Dominion, whereby a large number of men was drawn northward across the line to see what was going on and to takes hand in the racket if there was a good chance. Among those who emigrated were, {t is known, some hard characters who are always ready for spoils, and they are bound to be heard from during the summer. The mounted police used to watch them closely, and will, probably do so again, when we msy expect to hear of some of the border outlaws returning with their plunder, The north lineisa long one that such men do not fear to try to cross, and there is but little to prevent their reappear- ance on thelr cld stamping ground, the Missour1 valley, BACK TO THEIR OLD HAUNTS, Thirty or forty famllies of the North- ern Cheyennes have become tired of their reservation at Rorebud and, for a time at least, have moved back to their old quar- ters on Tongae river near the Hanglng Woman. They don't appear to care a * | continental about the reservation at pres- ent notwithstanding the start they have made there. They like their old fields the boat, it appears. Their ovident de- sire to camp on the Tongue may change the plans for improvement at the junc- tion of the Little Muddy with the Rose- bud. A jolnt memorial was adopted by our late leglelature in reference to this reservation, and it would be interesting to consider its requests, together with the subject of the fidgety, but not ag- gresaive. Cheyennes. THE YELLOWSTONE ROUND-UP, The Billings Gazstte has the following regarding tho round-ups in that viclnity: *The Yellowatone round-up expect to- day to complete their work on the Crow reservation slde of the river. They have had no trouble with the agent, and have succeeded in driving over three thousand head acroes the river. They expect to croes over to this slde to-morrow, and go as far west as Duack craek, where they will commenco the regular round-up. So far the cattle appear to have wintered well, and the prospects for a large calf crop are very promising. The Yellow- stone round-up found that some of the cattle which had strayed over the river t> the Crow reservaticn had been poi- soned by eattng the poisonous larkspur, This weed Is ons of ths first to show algns of vegetation in the spring. 1t acts very rapldly, the animal bloating and dying very £oon unless relieved by inserting o gases. This oporation is then followed by bleeding. Abcut teventy-five dead cattle that were found gave evidence of having been thus poisoned.” In thst particular distrlet, on the slope of the mountains, the polsonous herbage s notloeable. On the greater perion of our range, however, there is no trcuble from any such cause. I have never heard any unfavosabls raports of that kind excepting from the locality ra- forred to by the Billings papers. LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS, At the stock yards yesterdsy were fourteen cars of eastern cattle for the Rea Cattle company, and two cars for Brandenburg and Gaeken; aleo, two cars of fine horses for J. G. Hobba, The above were all received yestorday. One thousand head of eastern stock cat- tle, brought up by Scoby & Duncan for dellvery to the Concord Cattle company, still remain in the care of the railroad sgent, who has had three herders holding them near the stock yards. They falled to come up t3 the contract, and in con- sequence E, H, Cowles would not acoept them. The receipts at the Miles City stock ards thus far this season has been 232 ads of cattle and 23 oar loads of horses, or about 6,000 head of cattle and about 5,000 head of horses, a good beginning of the season. About half of these cat- tlg have come from the west, the other f from the east. Nearly all of the horses came from the west. e — Elephant Quotations.

He Returns From Australia De- foated. But Aflluent, San Francisco Oall, May 22, Edward Hanlan, the ex-champlon oarsman of the world, returned from Australia yesterdsy by the steamship Zea'andia, and is roglatered at the Palace hotel. A Call reporter, who met Hanlan on Market street last night surronnded by a company of gay companions, found the defeated sculler the reverse of what might be expected from a man returning shorn of his laurels, It was a question whether the beamlng countenance of the overthrown athlete, hls glistening dia- monds or his shining plug hat was bright- est. His superficial slgus of ocontented mind and a plethoric bank account were explalned by his statement of the profits of go-e racing at the antipodes. Although he lost both his races with Beach the Ca- nadian made a fortane from the receipts of the steamers that followed the race, and on which standing room sold for $25, and reserved seats all the way from $75 to $125. Hanlan’s receipts from this profitable source and the races with Lay- cock and Clifford, which he won, amount to syme $30,000. Thus, in one year, he has made more, although beaten twice, than In the ten previous years, in which he rowed thirty-four races withont losing one. To the Call man the afiluent oars- man said that Beach Isa wonderfully muscular man, who greatly resembles Whistler, the wrestler. Boach is 35 years old, and hay been sculling but a few years. “I would have won my first race with Beach,” ssid the Canadian, ‘“‘bat for my own foollsness in getting In the wash of a steamer. In my second race he rowed right away from me after the first fifly yards. I couldn’trow a bit.” ‘“‘What was the matter?’ asked the re- porter, : “Idon’tknow. I couldn’t row at all. He beat me on my merits. He s the most wonderful orrsman I ever met, and if any of the men in this country or else- where think differently, let them .try him.” Hanlan stated further that Boach will not come to Amerlca this year, but will stay la Australis. Hanlan himself, how- ever, will go to Toronto Ina few days and commence to traln for the summer regattas, Notwithstanding his easy de- feat, heis ready to make a match with any man, and will talk business at oncs. He regards Peterson as the best man in America, barring himself. He will row Reterson for alarge stake, or he will take Peterson, if Peterson will consent, and match him against any oarsman in the country. He will row In a doable scull wlith the California boy this summer, if he can make arrangements with Peter- son, and will make a match for $5,000 or $10,000 for Peterson and himself sgainat Ross or Teemer, in double sculls. He intends toreturn to Australis next year if he can organize a four-oar crow in this country, composed of P. Gaudua, Roee, Peterson and himself. Sach a crew can, he thinks, do s big business in Australia, They can get a couple of four car races, two blg double scull matches and four single scull races, Hanlan thinks Australia'is the best country in the world for an athlete of any kind,who can act In a gentlemanly way, and will not hippodrome. The races with Beach were rowed on a narrow tidal river and sganst the tide, which accounts for the slow time made. e ——— It Beats Gas All Hollow, Merchant Traveler, Uncle Davy was giving the boys some advice in thelr lovemaking affiirs, and one of them asked him how the young people did when he was sparking. *Them was great times, boys,” he sald {n reply. “We didn’c have no gas nor no kerosene, We done our sparkin’ by a plain tallow dip; bat most frequently just by the firelight. Firelight is warmin’, boys, and flickers just enough to make a girl's eyes shine. “It's mighty acft and purty, too, and kinder in a way none of your gaslighls knows anything about. Sometimes the fire shined up a little too powerful in places, and the young mau would git up without sayin’ anything and put & shovelful of ashes onit. Then he would cuddle up to the girl in the shad- ows, and she would cuddie some, too, and 1t really didn't ssem like there any- thing else in the whole big round earth to be wished for. Party soon the fire would git obstreperous agaln, and the little flames would twinkle in and out, as if they wanted to see what was goln’ on, r hu{lm,lnd was laughin’ and winkin’ about it, and havin’ some fun’ too' and the yonng fellow would reach for the shovel and the ashes and cover the bright blazes all up.
