ANOTHER BRIcK.-At F.. Bohm &
Co.'S assay ONCE, we noticed another large

TRAVIS STABLE.-One cannot look
through the immense stable of Travis Bro.

stable to take the place of the old building,
and that Helena, In the eyes of shrewd busi-
ness men, will support and sustain so extern
sive an establishment as it will be required to
occupy said building. IL is about completed,
and viii indeed be a model establishments.

loading brick on Main street, which was from

BLACKFooT.-From Mr.. Cary. who ar
rived in our city from this mining camp, We
learn that there is much dependency on ac-
count of the prospect of very little water.
A large number are mining, but not the num-
Der that would Was there plenty of water.

says be didn't expect to find mountain people
putting on such style a. they do. From the

'/MoNTANIANs ABRoAD.-We clip the
following from the Inland Empire of
the 25th, which shows that our Helena boys
are wide awake: "'on the night of the 22nd
instant some four persons came to the ranch
of the Travis brothers, three miles and half
from Hamiltou, stole 20 horses and drove
them away. A man who was out hunting
csttle accidentally came across the horses in
. canyon near the EIko road, and 80 miles
from Hamilton. The man knew the stock and
at once came TO Hamilton to inform the
owners One of the Travis brothers, John
Fethsrston, and the man who first discovered
them started in pursuit, the party being
armed with a Henry rife and a shotgun load
ed with buck-shot. They arrived at the spot
just before dark, and found the thieves max
ing preparations for n night drive. Travis
and his companions at once rushed forward
and demanded their surrender, but instead of
surrendering the thieves Immediately fred at
their pursuers. The fire was returned and
one man received a rife ball and came to
grass (made q location of n ranch;) one other
received two buck shot in the side, and the
third escaped injury but surrendered without
further resistance. The names of the thieves
are B. r. Smith, alias Joaquin, Edward Rauey
and Charles casmore. % The two survivors were
taken in charge and brought to town, and are
now locked up in the County Jail We are
not advised what became of the other man.
One man received a buck-shot in the nose.
The action of Mr.. Travis in the matter
showed good nerve, and will be highly COM
mended by all good citizens. We understand
that the individuals who had such a strong
hankering after horse fesh are u. p gentle
men, but they found the wrong stall this
time.
