Oar solicitor and correspondent, u. H.,
having been prevented by an accident from

gone to Butte.
We are Informed that Mr. Joseph Lodge,
of this place, while returning ola the
Yellowstone from Dead wood, had six OF
his horses stoieD by Indians.
The opium den is said to have thriyed
during the earlier part Of Court term, but
the proprietor kept good wsuch over the in
mates and guarded their secret well.
We are In receipt as an exchange OF the
Tombstone Ep,taph. 1t IN killing paper,
has strong working corpse, excludes dead
ads. and Ia good spokesman for the
silent majority Of Pima county, Arizona.
The Independent, Capital, Husbandna"
and Madisonian very kindly took occasion,
apropos of our paper famine, to let Us
down gently. May they never know the
sorrows of short supply Of either news
or hank note paper.
A legal gentleman saws 1t does not favor
ably impress people accustomed to quiet
lives 10 see Montana newspaper mention
felcnIes as leases Of minor Importance"
as we did last week. Anything less than
n killing has been Of minor i'm portance the
past year.
The walls Of Bonnsr's new grocery house
are gong up rapidly aud well. MIR. Chap
man has o superior crew Of brick layers
this season. The grocery stock is ordered
to be shipped June 1st, and 1t will take
swift work to complete the building before
it's arrival.
Aylesworth s. Mcfarland, who are in
dicted for maintaining . pig yard, or some
thing Of that kind, within the city limits,
are proceeding on the Smoke House theory
of abating the nuisance. Aylesworth says
he ia killing two pigs day, and there will
not be pig enough left TO make silk purse
BY the time the trial comes on.
Mr.. J. A. Goodhue delivered one hun
bred and twenty lots Of trees, shrubbery
and plants to persons in Deer Lodge and
vicinity, and seems 70 think this was the
best country to pay up he had found. He
has gone 10 Missoula to deliver orders and
expects to remain here the greater part
Of the summer, If summer In this coun-
try has any greater patt, which ID doubtful.
The Sawtelle Dramatic Company, which
has been playing TO poor houses for several
weeks, has disbanded At Butte. The actors
are taking benefits there under Miss lr-
Wings management, and they are endeavor-
ing to secure building here 10 which to
give one or more entertainments. ONeill's
Hall is unfortunately just at present under
going transfer nation. The Company could
play here several nights next week to good
business II the Hall were ready.
Mr.. Fl. G. Walton, the newly elected
lord Mayor" of Butte, dropped into
town few days ago aad was heartily con-
graduated by his many friends here on bis
civic preferment. Mr.. Walton will make
a good Mayor and he will be Mayor. There
will be no power behind TIE throne greater
than the throne itself. He Is not likely to
run off at tangents, has cool, steady head
and, 1t occurs to us, is AZ good a selection
as Butte could have made. The Board Of
Aldermen Ia good, too, and altogether
there is fair prospect the city government
will be satisfactorily administered during
the coming year. a=sz=a==
Col. Botkiu, arden of the Penitentiary,
who has cells for % convicts, in which be
has now AZ, who says the tidings OF one
more gives him headache, two fever and
three throws him into commissions, was
counting up ten last evening he is sure to
receive within . week. Two come from
Gailatin, five from Cboteau. one from Mad.
ison and two from Deer Lodge. Bannack
will likely furnish a few more 1t 10 not
unlikely that Fernsley, the Benton muir
derer, who has been demented since last
August, will be adjudged insane and sent
to the Asylum. The necessity for larger
prison is becoming more imperative every
month.
