A COUPLE OF Duck creek nimrods had an
elk hunt a few days ago, and succeeded in
killing two. Our informant says that the
elk were on one mountain and the hunters
on another that fourteen shots were fired,
eight of which took effect. The size of the
guns used, OR the distance the mountains
were apart, we did not learn. But our
butcher omitted his regular trip to the val
ley in consequence of the fortunate hunt.
r. b.. LINKFIELD arrived from Elgin, I'll.

OF j. 0. Hussey, and comes to Montana to
reside permanently. Though he arrived at
Cow Island at an exciting time, and was
compelled to foot it to Benton, he is highly
pleased with Montana and takes no offence
at being called a pilgrim; but having been
compelled to "hoof it' into the country.
