Two pair Of Overshoes were found on
Thursday. Evidently the worse for wear,
the owner can have the same by calling at
the Eagle Bird Saloon.
Ifyou are looking for the best quality Of
goods, you can get twice a. many with
the same money! at Ringwald Bros. &
Co., as you can anywhere else in Helena.
Their goods are fine, their guaranty the
best. Only give them cali and be con-
vinced of the fine quality Of goods that they
are offering at the lowest State prices.
We are glad to notice the improvement
in the County Recorders office. Mr.. Tat
tan has had the cumbersome old counter
desk that blocked up all the room former
ly, removed to its proper place. He has
had neat circular table built. where
parties can sit and and examine records
conveniently. The tables have been put
to useful portions Of the room and al
together tbs facilities for access to the
books and papers are excellent. We hope
that as Probate Judge, Mr.. Tattan will ad-
wise the immediate improvement and COM
pletion Of the court room.
Attention ia directed to Mr. w. N.
Amory's card that appears in this weeks
issue of the RECORD. Col. Donnelly, not
having time before his Legislative duties
called him to Helena to attend to his col
lection business, has made Mr.. Amory his
agent and placed all accounts in Mr..
Amory's hands. AS will be seen from the
card, Mr.. Amory may be found in the
RECORD building, where we have offered
him desk room in the sanctum. We quote
the words Of the card: "All persons
knowing themselves indebted to Colonel
Donnelly are respectfully requested to call
at the RECORD office and make settlement. !"
William Fox, q man we'll known
in the country, disappeared on the 1lth Of
December and has not been heard Of since.
His friends feel some alarm i2asmuch as
he said nothing to anyone before leaving
to vn, and his bedding was all found, 40
he had left it in Bourassa's 8 saloon on Front
street. Fox is known to have once at
tempted to take his own life and it is fear
ed misfortunes may have lead to his COM
mitting suicide, Or that he wandered of
and has frozen to death.
On Thursday morning, January 4th,
Mr.. Charles Conrad was married to Miss
Alicia d. Stanford, at the residence Of the
BRIDES mother. The Rev. S. C. Blackiston
officiated. The ceremony occurred quite
early in the morning to enable Mr.. and
Mrs. Conrad to take the coach for the East Z:
hence only their immediate relatives were
present. The best wishes the RECORD can
give them is that they may have all the
happiness they deserve.
Several claims have been dumped" In
the Barker camp. Locators should re-
member that all claims located in 1879, and
upon which 800 worth of work has not
been expended, are open for relocation.
It is to be regretted that some owners OF
valuable leads have failed to recollect this
requirement of the law, as we are 1oath to
see any bad feeling creep into the camp at
so early date. But it should also be
known that work done, even though it be
performed after the legal time, yet If
ahead of any new locator Is good and will
hold the location.
We call the attention Of our readers to
the new advertisement OF the Chop House
that appears in this weeks issue of the
RECORD. When George Langworthy was
running the Chop House, and gained
therefrom his name Of tsChop House
George the place earned for itself well
deserved reputation as the best restaurant
in town. Last spring our old friend James
Douglass bought out Mr.. Langworthy and
since that time has been carrying on the
business at the old stand, on Front street.
The reputation that the Chop House &C
long has held has rather been increased
under the management Of Mr.. Douglass, in
proof of which we only point to the in
creased patronage OF the house and tho
praise SO lavishly bestowed by Jim board.
ers, whether regular or transient. Lately
Mr.. Douglass has had the assistance OF hi
daughter, Miss Matte May Douglass, il
the management Of the dining-room, ant
has found her assistance SO valuable tha
he has given Miss Matte s half interest il
the business; which fact will be uattel
of pleasant news to the many friends o.
both. We are directed to say that ths
business will be carried on as heretofore
with the best efforts to please the patrons
of the place; and we cay for ourselves
that we wager those efforts will not be il
vain.
That mule il remarkable brute! Oh
one occasion he walked into the Cour
House where he had to be litteraly drives
out by the Sheriff. Now he is used az al
advertising medium, or sometimes, for
post for drunken men to hold on to, thel
again, as his decorations OF yesterda,
would show, he parades for fancy good
establishment. Did you ever notice hi
walk? He suffers from the string halt il
one hind leg and as he slowly moves fror
street to street with tucked in tail, spriu
like walk and dropping head, there seem
to be more than ordinary intelligence il
his eye-as we'll as in his heel. Some pee
pie assert that he drinks. We have hear
that he frequents disreputable places. II
is Of a misanthropic turn Of mind secmin
to avoid companionship. He j. philosc
phical kind Of mule too, and at the sam
time an epicure. He eats bread and it wa
while enjoying loaf that he was SO taste
fully adorned yesterday. We scarcel
know to whom he should be entrusted ft
care, but if there is a Kentuckian in tow
who loves the dear old Blue Grass region
