We understand that pleasant little hop
occurred at Camp Creek on last Sunday
night, in which Grant and the well.known
Bishop, Of this place, took an active part.
Bish says he took the head Of the set and
played the violin, called, and shook pair
|'of numhkr IN aIi at tie same time, and
claims It was all Nh account Of their being
snow bound. All right boys, 20 it while
you are young; and try II again as soon as
mountain sheep are ripe, but don't do it on
Sunday.
Mr.. 6. D. French, Of Argenta, and Miss
Mamie Wales, of Beaverhead valley, pass.

until their return, when, to the surprise snd
establishment Of all, they were both one

We were PANIED to learn Of the death Of
Hon. Oscar A. Sednan, prominent mem.
Der OF the Montana Legislature, who died
at Helena, last Sunday, of the measles.
Mr.. Sedman was excused from the House
on Saturday. and on Sunday he passed
from life unto death. Mr.. S. was resident
Of Junction, Madison County, and owner
Of large herds OF cattle and horses, and
owned extensive interests in mining prop.
erty in Alder gnlch. lie has been twice
elected to the Legislature, and proved to
be an honorable member. He leaves a
wife and four children to mourn his death.
The bereaved family have our deepest
sympathy. The remain were taken to
Virginia for internent.
Wewere so,he~h hat amused this morning
at an elderly couple hailing from ''away up
north" who were preparing to take the
train for Ogden. We would surmise by
their cautious strategem in regard to the
journey, that they came to Montana before
railroads were invented and had as yet new
CT behe!d the iron horse and his carts, or
conceived the least idea Of the comforts Of
riding in Pullman sleeper, for just previ.
Gus to their getting on board, thew were at
least two hours and half busily engaged
in tying up their feet In gunny sucks, think.
Ing, perhaps, that SO extensive a Journey
during this kind of weather would be ter
rible severe upon their understandings, 40
they concluded to provide for the emer-
yency.
