Helena weekly herald. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1867-1900, 1878-09-26
Helena, Montana, Thursday, September IS, 1878.

Agent for the ShOshone Agency in Nevada,
but it is not known whether he will accept.
The quartz mill at Butte which he built, and
which is still partly owned by his wife, re-
Gently resumed operations. with prospect
of good results. His nephew, F. G. Deimling,
is Postmaster at Virginia city. 1t will be
remembered that he was Colonel of the 10th
Missouri Infantry, and an officer of unsur-
passed gallantry. In his present position he
is highly efficient and popular, and is really
one of the most admirable of men. Shame
that fate should distribute its rewards with so
little regard to merit.
Hon. Samuel Word has been spoken of in
another connection. He practices law at Vir-
ginia city, and prospers, and though it is
rumored that if his eminent fitness for Con-
gress is not recognized this fall, he may make
''clean-up' and leave Territory that is so
wanting in appreciation. VIM. H. Rogers,
once of Andrew County, keeps the hotel at
Virginia city that bears his name, and is
fully the peer of Falstaff's Ghost at St. AL
BANS" Hamp. johnson, who claims to have
come from the Forks of Grand River, is a
citizen of the same place. Hamp is charac-
ter. He was door-keeper of late Legislature
and was known as Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Education in the Third House-a
title which he probably owes to his fine con-
tempt for spelling book. He admits having
once seen railroad, but despises narrow
gauge, because he says that it is impossible to
walk on one with a jug in each hand.
The list of Missourians now resident at
Helena is by no means complete in the above.
Mr.. S. T. Hauser. President of the First
National Bank, is among the number, and is
perhaps the foremost citizen of the Territory
in means and influence. He is genuine
mountaineer, and his experience may afford
provocation tor another letter. James Stuart
that Bayard of the mountans-is now de-
ceased; but his brothers, Granville and
Thomas H., survive, the former at Helena
and the latter at Deer Lodge. G. A. Broad
water and Ed. G. Maclay are proprietors of
the Diamond ''R'' Freight Line. and are pros
porous and popular gentlemen. John Thor
burn, who attained the degree of X. H. M.
(need illuminate your ignorance ?-Killed
His Man) soon after his arrival, is still citi-
zen of Helena, and sells vegetables to an ap-
preciative constituency.
At Deer Lodge we have W. L. and Thomas
H. Irvine, who are amassirg wealth in pro-
portion to their merits. At Butte, in the same
county, we have John Caldwell Calhoun
Thornton, who was Colonel in Prices army,
and is now man of considerable substance;
the Parkinsons (W. H. and Theodore) are
mining and making money. At Bozeman
there is Ira H. Pierce, who is practicing law
and waiting until dull constituency shall
appreciate bis eminent qualifications for Con-
gress. cit would have been economy OF space
if had mentioned in the beginning the Mis-
sourians who are not candidates for Congress.)
John Pope Bruce will be remembered as the
man who once ran against Ben. Loan for
at Bozeman, and still indulges in the harm
less confidence that he is liable to be sent to
Washington. E. G. Brooke keeps the stage
station at Whitehall, and represents bis coun-
ty in the Territorial Legislature whenever he
is desired
But this enumeration might become tedious.
