MEAGHER COUNTY REPUBLICAN
TICK EFT.

The republicans of Meagher county
accomplished a good days work last
Saturday. They have presented to the
people, good ticket, and in that county,
where the electors usually vote for men
regardless of party, the ticket has very
favorable prospects of success.
Court Sheriff, the candidate for the
council, is q prosperous merchant Of
Canyon Ferry, on the Missouri, and is
in every respecU competent to I'LL the
position.
Thomas Dean, candidate for the house,
is q farmer of the Missouri vale y, and q
man of good common sense, one who
understands the wants Of the county,
and has the ability to accomplish good
results for the people of Meagher.
Sam Allabaugh, who, for a number Of
years has been deputy under Charley
RAIDER, is, the candidate for sheriff. His
ripe experience in the office and his
well-knoWn qualifications for the posi-
| ton render his election almost a GER
tainty.
w. }. Stevenson, formerly of Benton
and a law partner of Mr.. w. B. Settle,
was nominated for probate judge. Mr..
| Stevenson is we'll known In Benton as
an able and popular young attorney, and
as he has built up q like reputation at
the Springs, he will doubtless make a
strong race.
George Hatch, the candidate for clerk
and recorder, resides near Martinsdale
and is one of the prominent wool grow
ers Of that county. While the RIVER
PRESS would like to have seen its old
friend, Louis Rotwitt, nominated, there
can be no question about the qualified
tions of Mr.. Hatch and his eminent tit
ness to fill the office. Being n OF the
most popular men Of the county he will
make a good race.
We are glad to say a good word forour
Barker friend, P. III. Hughes, the candi-
date for assessor. He is n of the orig
inal discoveries of the Barker mining
district, of which he is now q resident,
and in every respect is qualified for tbs
position he seeks.
Dave Folsom, the candidate for treas
urer, is a resident of Smith river valley
and one of tie solid men Of the county
d. B. Macintosh, one of the first mer
in the Montana mining district. and ;

RUNtwAY.-An unhitched team stood in
front of the building just south of Lopez's
last Friday morning. Three or four dogs
got into an alteration under the horses feet.
The horses kicked, reared, snorted, got scar
ed, and started on keen run down street.
The wagon ran off the bridge ut Bresine's,
smashing one wheel into flinders. Then the
horses were checked without further dam
age. II the team had been hitched, the own
er would be several dollars better off day !;
but he is lucky in that the marshal didn't
happen along about that time. Leaving
horses and teams stand in the street unhitch-
ed is against the laws of the City, and the or
dinance made and provided for such cases
ought to be strictly enforced erery time.

Last FRIDAY evening, a man came into Ii

Last Friday evening, man came into Lo
peZ's and asked to look at some pants. The
clerk took him to the clothing counter, and
they began search for the article in demand
just then the clerk was called to the rear
end of the store, and taking advantage of his
absence, the customer caught up couple OF
vests and secreted them under his coat. An
other clerk, however, saw the act, and, after
the purloiner went out of the store he in
formed on him. Thereupon the first men,
toned clerk followed his late customer who
seeing their approach, at once suspected that
he had been detected, and he pulled out the
vests, saying, 81 don't want these things
and laughed it off as q joke. Well jokes a
joke, but some kind of jokes are no jokes at
all. This came near being one OF that kind.

DIED-At Hogan Mountain, on Tuesday
the 18th day of July, 1882, little ANNIE
QUINN, aged one year, seven months ant
eight days.
When little Annie was called away
BY the resistless hand of death,
The guardian angels were hurrying round
To take her home to rest.
We laid her body in the toomb,
And there it must decay:
Her little spirit has taken
Its flight, far, far away.
Little Annie has gone home,
Her brother for to see;
Their little spirits are reunited in eternity
By and by the trump will call us
From this earth away:
Then we will meet little Annie again,
Far, far away. j. n. S.

The railroad crossing north of town, since
the grading for the new switch, is rather
rough for heavily loaded wagons. There is
Il hump or two which ought to be made less
abrupt. No less than four wagon-wheels
have been broken at that place within ten
days, and if a remedy is not found pretty
soon, our wagon shops will have to be en-
larged, and mayhap a couple of extra ones
put in. Let the authorities see to this little
matter.

The Granite Quarry is one of the big shows
we give to all who come into the Valley in
search of health, comfort, and fine scenery

not believe a visitor ever rested his feet on
the big granite boulders, or feasted his eyes
upon the beauties of the situation, but that
he blessed the hour he determined to take il

the approaches to it ought certainly be made
as feasible and pleasant as possible; and the
general highway between that place and the

CORRECTION.-Mr. Michael thinner, the
person who had the fight with Geo. Spitz-

sion of the affair. In order that history may
not be distorted we give place to Mr.. rs as
sertion that he did not assault Spitzmiller
unprovoked, but that S. challenged him
dared him to knock chip off his shoulder,
metaphoric;ally speaking-and that it was on
ly after great provocation that he (Z.) ac-
cepted the challenge and went into the
scrimmage. In other words, he had to eth.
er fight or give up the gun.

INSULTING THE NAvY.-Washineton, December
l5.-With unblushirg effrontery Robert Smalls,
the negro Congressman from South Carolina,
had yesterday bill introduced authorizing the
President of the United States to appoint him a
captain in the navy on the retir ed list, with pay
accordingly. The reason assigned for this nov
ell petition was Sin recognition of services rem
dered the National Government by the capture
and seizure of the steamer Planter in Chal lesion
liarbor. May l3, 1882, by Smals and colored
crew left temporarily in charge of the craft"
In order to carry out the scheme Smalls and his
friends have been industriously engaged in cir
culaiing among members of Congress n pam.
phlet entitled "a short sketch of the military
and political career and public services Of Gen.
Robert Smalls, of South Carolina" The sketch
embodes description Of Smalls since his birth
at Beaufort s. c., on the 9Th Of April, 1929, to
his election TO Congress in 1880, special stress
being laid upon his services during the war
Each member of Congress has received q copy
of the document, and it is stated that q number
ofDemocratic representatives nave sgnifi ed their
intention to support the bill, which was pre-
sented by Representative Mackey. 1t is not
likely to get through before Smalls is on the
retired list Of Congressman, without any pay.
