I was ordered out wilh a company two
v ceks age te pursue a party of Indian herse
thieves, hi ncte reported In full Might
for the llrltlsh dominions. Had a very nloe
trip, although we found no traee of the
Indians who probably crossed the line
much further west and had a week's start
of ui. Lieut. 11., of the 20th, v, as with me, 4
w hlch innde the trip much ploaanler thnn
It would bale been nlone. Alter passing
ever 02 miles of burnt prnlrle, which wa
ery monotonous, we found a very pretty
country around the "hills," w hlcli are com
posed "of threo detached mountains or
cluster of mountains Wtoen or twenty
miles apart and rising seme 4,000 feet abeve
the plains.
Frem thn top of eun of them, which It
took three hours of rock climbing te
mount, we had the most coinplete bird's
eye view I have ever seen. The i lew all
around was perfectly unobstructed ; te the
north, In Canada, w e could soe the cypress
hills and the lake, called by the pleasant
niiiiie of ".Stinking Water," and could trace
the course or the Milk river.
ne: i:vi: cahiui-s 100 .mu.us.
Te the east and south w e could see the Hear
J'uir iiionntidns,abeut 100 miles away ; te the
south the Hlghvvoed, the Moccasin, the
Judith and the .Snowy ranges, while the
whele western horien was wallisl In by
the snow white range of the main Kockies,
100 miles etV.
At our feet all the slieains wero mapped
out, and, although our horses belew looked
like specks, we could we any moving
parties within thirty inlles, as the yellew
blown of the prairies made such a geed
background.
Tlie sides of the peak wcie in loose slate,
the pieces being about tlie slze of a soup
plate and rattling down at every step. It
would have been almost Impossible te get
up these slopes but for the plainly maikcd
trulls made 1y the WgHern; and by the
Indians who in earlier days used le keep
lookouts en the top te watch the butlate
herds and who probably still use the
stoue shelters en the summit for their
v ideltes w hen a jarty Is out en a horse
stealing raid.
It was near sunset when we left the sum
liit and U o'clock when we get te camp,
four miles from the base; se, as we had
ridden SO levies and cllmbe.l a mountain
s'nee breakfast that nieriiing, you may
iuiaglne that we enjoyed eurdinuer, espe
cially as we had a geed Hie te sit by.
Scarcity of worn! is tlie great drawback
te camping up horej we found wekI at
only two out of our eight camps. At the
ethers we wcie deieudent upon the few
sticks we could carry along for cooking
pureses.
tlll.VVINd A SlOHVt,
We had a mild bllz.zard that rania.tip
very suddenly ene night and laid out the
Sibley tent en our 21 men at the tlrst pull'.
Lieut. 11. and I, witli the asslstance of a
couple of men, managed te held our little
deg tent, but after holding en desperately
fiem 8:30 te 12 we gave in and pulled the
ennvus dew u e or us. We craw lod'etlt and
piled rocks en tlie canvas te keep it from
blowing away, and then crawled under
the Happing sheet and rolled ourselves up
v as well. as we could In any blanket we
could disengage from the chaotic mass Inte
'i which our Unco hours' struggle had stirie.l
our belongings.
The snow blew in en us, the cold w hid
licet tlie ennuis up aim new n, nui in last u
was light, and lousing the whole party, we
seen had the tents up anil the cook lire
under the pic Ipiteus bank of the stream.
We had te lie low that day, as thcie is no
use trying te move in such storms. The
temperature was net low enough le cause
any sutlerlng, but it was very easy te we

We saw a tow anlelope. en the tilp, but

Thonextcaso called was that of Chailcs
K. Ochs, felonious ciubc77leuieut en com
plaint of Frank A. ltclker. It was nearly
six o'clock when a Jury was obtained and
the ease ejiened by counsel.
The facts of the case.as show it by the com
monwealth's w itnesses, were these : Charles
K. Ochs was the clerk of Frank A. ltclker.
During the mouth of October 187, en each
Saturday, Mr Holkerdtevv a check in favor
of Mr. Ochs te buy internal levcniiestanips.
The aggregate amount of these checks was
$s7.. The amount of stamps purchased by
Mr. Ochs, as appealed fiem the levenue
books, was J.VMI.1I1. In addition II was
shown that 1. II. Itlugcr, of Mlllr.hadpald
te Mr. Ochs a bill of fi0.".' for beer, and
Mr. lllnger docs net liaveaciedlt for that
amount en Mr. Ileiker's books, then kept

commonwealth is that Mr. Ochs embezzled

at 7:'10 o'clock, and the tiial of the Ochs

The defense was that all of the sums
drawn by the accused fiem the Fulton
bank en Mr. lteikci'.s checks was net up up
pteprlatcd for slumps; that befere any
checks weie diawti Ochs told Helker
hew many stamps were needed
and en each occasion theie was filled out a
blank te Ille with the revenue elTlceis of the
number of stamps bought ; that the checks
were always made larger than the amount
of stamps and the balance was used In Iho
P'lyment each Saturday of the wages of Mr.
llelkei's weikmen, liecause the iccelpts at
the bar weie iielsufllcicnt te pay the wages,
and befeie rhe checks weie made out such
calculation was made, the amount neces
sary te be made up was asceitained and
the check was made for an amount te pay
the stamps and such deficiency.

was claimed that If he had notciedlt for the

Mi. Ochs.

smilt Uen lilm.
When the ArniM court martial met en
Thursday counsel for the accused endeav
ored, without success, e have the i ase dis
missed for want of jurisdiction. The llrst
witness for the defense was A. W. Cullv, a
ecial pelhsimau, xvhe told hew Capful n
Amies had been put out of the llue of pie
cession, and said that Captain ltourke ni
peared te be exclled but net Intoxicated.
'Lieutenant Governer Woedburv, of Vor Ver Vor
ment, testllletl that he had known Amies
for twenty-live years, and bere witness te
his geed chnraeter.
Kdvvin Smith testllletl that he was with
Amies In the ltlpgs house w lieu f lev eruer
Heaver appeared. Heaver slusik hands
with Amies, and a couveisatleti eiisuisl.
The governor expressed regret that he had
net learned of the Inauguration dav event
until next day. When Amies pressed him
fern reply lelils letter Iho gev eruer turned
away, and seemed anxious te Imj ild of
Amies. The latter fellow ed him, saving
Hint he wauled the matter settled, and, as
the governor went en, extended ills hand
ever his shoulder and passed It under the
brim of the governor's hat. He did net see
any nese pulling.
Uovcruer Heaver was the next witness.
He said that personally he had nothing te
de with Amies' removal from the parade.
Seme one had suggested Hint (leneral Ames
lie apKlnted en his stair, and, net remem
bering In the hurry of the moment that
(Jenernl Ames was dead, he had said, "Ap
point him." It appeared that Amies had
thus been appointed by mistake for (leneral
Amp. He had told Amies hew It occurred,
and his name wusdieppcd from the staff.
When Amies had upiicalcd te lilm
net te east a stigma en his chlldicu
by apneluting him te a staff position
nun men nei, auewiug linn te serve,
he (the governor) had oxpiessod his
sympathy, and offered le ntake out
a commission for hint te show his
children in the future. A letter from
Amies lowliness, dated A pill 2, was put in
evidence. In It Amies requests the gover gever gover
nerto step the ceiiit-iiiaitl.il proceedings,
as they would result In his dismissal and
he preferred death te the less of his com
mission. He added that the governor
ste(sl in danger of becoming his murderer.
In another letter dated dav before yester
day, he apologized for tlie Hlggs house
episode The w itness told of this episode,
saying that he had laughingly teplled te
Amies that he could net apologize, and that
he had then felt Amies' liand brush his
nice in a rude way. He had In a moment
struck with his ciutch at Amies, and the
mews w ere dangerous. Amies' action was
something In the nature of both an assault
and an insult. Witness took it te be an
attempt te get held of his nose, mid was
