The Scissor Grinder.

ANY scissors Or knives to grind 2"
For the past two or three days the above
query has frequently foated out upon the
ambient air Of Benton, coming from the lips
Of 9 real, genuine, up-to-snuff grinder of
edged tools who has found his way 10 our
far-oH frontier town. His advent d~eseryeg
more than q passing notice. It denotes the
dawn Of the era Of civilization and the de-
cline of frontierism. This adventurous scis-
sor grinder is the 0Dant courier and soon will
follow the organ grinder with his trick
monkey: the Italian with his plaster of
Paris outfit the panorama man or proprietor
of q peep hole show !; and finally the circus,
which is the chiefest attraction of the lot.
Now that the ice has been broken by the
scissor grinder they are bound to come.
Nothing can keep them away. The told
timers" are already taking alarm. They
see in the sharpaer Of old shears the open
ing wedge, as it were, of . new order Of
things. They don't like it bit, and we are
not certain but the life Of the poor fellow is
ID absolute danger. AS an evidence Of the
fact we reproduce the following portion Of

When the shears sharpener puts in an APP

but where the scissors grinder and the organ

find u.s."
Whatever the ssold timers may think of
the s. e. this fellow deserves some credit for
the pluck he has manifested in making q
''tour' Of our mountain Territory. When
the walking is exceedingly bad and the dis
lance between towns average about a hun
dred and fifty miles it will readily be observed
that there is no fun in the business. In fact,
it requires considerable fortitude to carry on
this branch Of industry in Montana.

sTDRER HAS
Leaving Numerous Creditors to Be
moan his Loss. Likewise - Record as
a BLK Tnas rs Bright Shining
as ane Noon-Gsay Orb.

A little more than a year ago one G. D.
Storer cam from Helena to Benton and set
tied down in our midst. He was favorable
impressed with our beautiful town and ex-
pressed q determined purpose to remain right
here and grow up with the country, to be-
come in due season one of the nabobs Of the
to-be great city Of Benton. 1t is said that
since God marked Cain all great rascals have
carried the seal and signet Of their villainy in
their countenances, but it would seem that
in Storer's case the proper brand was omitted
or at least it was very indelibly impressed
To the casual observer he would seem to be
a frank, generous, ~good-hearted person, free
from guile in any of its numerous forms !;
but in this estimate the c. 0. could not be
more woefully deceived. As o matter Of
fact Storer is a consummate blk with all the
accomplishments Of the craft. During his
years stay in Benton he succeeded in ex-
usual length and when he skipped out on
Monday night left many to mourn his hasty
departure. If there is anybody in Benton
that Storer does not owe it is not Storer's
fault. He would have treated all alike If
the opportunity had been afforded him. AT
Helena he played the same game successful
ly and left with the record of being one of
the most accomplished dead beats in the
Territory. His history followed him to Ben
ton but not in time to do as much good as it
might have done.
The manner of his leaving was quite char
acteristic. Last week he sold all lis house
hold goods and effects, pocketed the pro-
ceeds and sent Mrs. Storer ahead onlthe Ben
ton. It was inspected that he would leave on
this boat himself and at least a
dozen creditors were prepared to have him
arrested in that event: but Storer is too well
up in the tricks of the trade to 60 about it so
openly. He made no effort to go on the
Benton and assured all anxious inquirers that
he had not the Temotest idea Of leaving. He
even mapped out the work he had to do this
fall and clearly indicated to each separate
and distinct creditor in what manner be
might realize upon his claim, dealing out
promises with rare profusion. In this man-
ner he succeeded in allaying suspicion, and
on Monday morning when the Josephine
started On her down-the-river trip, Storer had
quarters in her cabin, hold or some other
part Of the vessel, and it was not for some
hours afterward that the fact became gener-
ally known. And then there was bowling
and crashing Of teeth
storer, Storer, we shall miss you,
Miss your promises to pay;
But Benton asks one parting kindness
Say adieu forever and aye.
We have q list Of the victims and the
amount due each but will not set forth the
facts for fear Of getting trouble on our
hands. The books of the RIVER Press show
a little balance os $50 against Storer, and we
Kindly make him q present of the amount.
He can consider this parting shot a receipt

a NEW ENTEsazggpaskkggEESSE.
Wessrs. Davidson & Mof1Eet OF Helena,
TO Establish O Large and Importanf
Business I'm BENTON.

Last week Messrs. A. J. Davidson and
John Moff1tt, we'll known business men of
Helena, bought Of Mr.. w. Fl. Todd four lots
extending from Front street to, Main and just
south of Murphy, Neel g Co.'s establish
ment. They have sixty feet front, from
street to street, and IN this property propose
to erect as soon as the material can be pro-
cured a large brick store, dimensions 30x100
feet. In due time other buildings will be
erected adjoining this one to meet the de-
mands of the extensive business the firm pro-
poses to carry On.
They will open up with g large stock of
saddlery, harness, feathers and everything
conceivable in that line. But in addition to
this branch of the trade they will buy hides,
pets, furs, ETC., and next season will shy
their caster into the ring as wool buyers.
They will be prepared to sell all articles In
their line at wholesale Or retail and doubtless
will soon build up an extensive jobbing
trade.
They will purcbas Sc hides, pelts, etc. in
connection with Lobenstein Of New York,
and wool in connection with e. Grissar &
Co., of San Franisco, the most extensive
buyers in the west. Next season Messrs. D.
s. NJ. will prepare for asserting, packing and
pressing their wool and to that end will be
compelled to add largely to their first build
ing. When completed their establishment
will be one Of the largest ii the territory and
among the most extensive business enter
prises. It is just such an institution as Ben
ton needs and will be found to fill q long felt
want.
The new structure will face IN Front
street and will be q substantial brick of one
story, modelled somewhat after that Of Muir
ply, Neel s. Co. The Hotter Bros. will fur
nish the lumber but the general contract for
the building has not yet been let. Work will
begin, however, as soon as the material can be
obtained and then be pushed to speedy COM
pletion. Benton is to be congratulated upon
this accession to her business interests and
the RIVER PRESS on behalf of our citizens ex-
tends q hearty welcome to Messrs. Davidson
s. Mofitt.

The crew Of the Red Cloud were on a reg
ular jamboree yesterday, and in addition to
the shooting scrape INDUCED in several bad
fights. A couple Of the BOOSTERS went at it
a la the prize ring, stripping to the belt for
the purpose. In another row on shore one of
the boys was knocked down and kicked in
the head pretty badly. Taken all in all it
was a gala day for the roostabouts of the
Red Cloud and one that will be memorable
in the annals Of the lower deck of that boat.
Every one OF the peace breakers should be
hauled over the legal Goals. It would give
the fellows to understand that they can not
indulge in such practices in Benton with i'm
punity.
