OE4TU AIRY.
Thomas A. T'hOupsor.


Few accidents or incidents have trans
pired in this community during the event
ful years OF the past. which have called out
such expressions OF sorrow and general
regrets as the accidental death of Thomas
A.-familiarly known as Tommy
Thompson. But little is known in this
immediate neighborhood OF his early his
tory, but he was an old-time Montanian,
having come here in 1866 and having re-
sided continuously in Gallatin county, al
most in the immediate vicinity of Boze-
man, ever since. From letters and papers
now in the possession OF Mr.. Nelson Story,
it appears that Thomas came from the
State of New Y DIRK, where his parents and,
at least, one brother and sister now reside.
He has also one brother living in Colorado
and another in Illinois. He first met Mr..
Nelson Story at Leavenworth in July, 1866.
He had been in the employ of Page & Sal
isbury who were then freighters. Mr..
Story at once hired him, and he has been
in his employ, except during short inter-
val, ever since. During those IL years
Tommy has had full charge and direct
oversight OF Mr.. Story's entire stock in
terests and never was Il position more eff
iiciently filled or trust and responsibility
more faithfully discharged. He was ac-
knoWledged on all hands as the most eilici-
emf, reliable and faithful hertler in Eastern
Montana. For the past three or four
years MIR. Story has not even thought it
necessary to give any personal attention
to either the roundup or branding Of his
cattle or horses, trusting the supervision
and management to Thompson. He was
not only a faithful hand, but be was per-
severing and nf.ltering in every under
taking. He was never known to relin-
quish any trust until the work was salts
factorily accomplished. Yet, while fully
identified with the interests Of his employ
er, he was just and generous to others.
Indeed, he was one Of the few herders
against whom word OF complaint was
seldom if ever heard. No wonder that he
was so generally and favorably known to
almost every one in this vicinity, Or that
Mr. Story should feel that he has lost one
who had become almost as near and dear
to him as brother.
Thomas a. Thompson was about 80
years of age at the time Of his death. 1t
was his intention. we are informed, to
make a visit 70 his old home this fall, from
which he has been absent about sixteen
years. For several years past Mr..
Story has been paying him S75 per
month and board, and his income includ-
ing his salary and interest ON money loan
ed, was about $40 per month. He had
on his person about 500 in money when
drowned, but his notes and other valuable
papers are in possession Of Mr.. Story.
70 the friends and relatives OF the de-
ceased, both far and near, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy. That his life work
was SO faithfully performed should be 4
source of undyina consolation to all.

Good News for Eastern NkOntanR.

We are just informed that on and after
the first of August proximo mail service
on the BoZenlan and Tongue River route
will be increased from tri-weekly to daily
seven times a week instead of three, as
at present. On no other mail route in the
Territory has an increase Of service been
SO urgently needed, at least during the
past twelve months. and the COURIER has
been doing all in its power to bring about
the desirable result. Mess. Gilmer, Sails
bury d Co. are also entitled to the thanks of
the people for their successful efforts in
bringing about this much needed increase
Of service.
The next proper thing to be done, in
our opinion, would be to change the east
ern terminus of this route from Fort
keogh to Miles City. Under the present
arrangement, the mail arrives at keOgh,
say on Saturday afternoon, but does not
reach Miles City. distance of only two
miles, until Monday forenoon. This does
not look very much like justice to Miles,
and the people should petition at once for
q change Of programme
