TWO RUNAWAY YOUTHS
Walter Stone and Lynn Stewart of This City Missing Since Yesterday and Parents Are Alarmed — No Traces as Yet Found.
Walter, the 15-year-old son of C. H. Stone, and Lynn Stewart, a boy about 12 years of age, left home yesterday and no trace of them has been found. Both boys were pupils at the Wilder school. The boys have been punctual in their attendance at school and no reason for their determination to do the wild west act can be given. The Stone boy has probably four or five dollars in money, but his companion seems to have been without funds. The Stone boy is slightly lame and is rather slender. His companion is heavier and more rugged.
The parents have searched both sides of the river, but no traces is obtainable.

The Glasgow Record says that an old Indian named Tobacco Eater was shot and killed at
Culbertson last week by Frank Cusker, who was assisting an officer sent from
Fort Peck to return the Indian's son to the
Fort Peck school. Tobacco Eater attempted to kill the officer, when Cusker shot him.
Williston Graphic, 3/20/1896
An old Indian known as Tobacco Eater was shot and killed at Culbertson Friday by Frank Cusker. It appears the Indian had a son attending Fort Peck School against his will. He wanted the boy at home and sent for him. The boy ran away from school and the agency authorities sent Frank Cusker and R. Renz to the old man's place near Culbertson, with orders to bring the boy back to the agency. On applying at the old Indian's cabin for the truant, the old Indian drew a gun and threatened to kill the officers if they attempted to take the boy away. He was finally disarmed, but immediately afterwards secured a large butcher knife and made a desperate attack upon Renz. Cusker feared the Indian would kill Renz, and drawing his revolver, fired. Cusker was given a hearing before Justice Bauer, at which county attorney Evans and Sheriff Willis were present. The justice deemed the case justifiable and Cusker was dismissed. The boy was taken back to the reservation.

An enormous meteoric stone fell in the vicinity of
Fort Assinnaboine, M.T., on the night of the 9th inst., at ten o'clock, lighting up the surrounding country with the glare. The time which elapsed between its striking the earth and the report reaching the fort was nearly five minutes. The shock was like the report of a cannon, and the earth was shaken. The shock was heard at
Fort Benton, and a telegram under the date of the 5th from the
Coal Banks says: "A bright glare, followed by a few minutes by a loud report, was observable in the north last night. A trembling of the earth was distinctly felt here."

A Meteor Which Shook the Earth.
An enormous meteoric stone fell recently southeast of Fort Assiniboine, Montana, lightning up the surrounding country with the glare. The time which elapsed between its striking the earth and the report reaching here was nearly five minutes. The shock was like the report of a cannon, and the earth was shaken. Careful search to-day for a distance of several miles from the post reveals nothing. Taking into consideration the fact that sound travels one thousand one hundred and twenty feet in a second, it is esimated that the meteorite must have fallen fully fifty miles distant from Assiniboine. The shock frightened the people at Fort Benson and at Coal Banks.
Los Angeles Herald, 3/29/1882
The Helena Herald says of the recent meteor seen throughout northern Montana: "The swift passage through the northern heavens of a great meteor was seen by a number of citizens of Helena who were up and out at the hour of 10 o'clock Wendesday night. Among other witnesses to the wonder spectacle were Thomas Fallon, and James Thom, who state that it appeared nearly the size of the moon as seen at its full, of intense glow, lightning up valley and mountain as by a sudden dash of daylight. The meteor was also seen at Benton, Coal Banks and at Assinnaboine. It struck somewhere near the latter point, where the blow was like an earthquake and the report loud as a cannon.
