The Arrow Creek Road.

Mr.. John LaMotte, proprietor of the new
Arrow Greek road. was in Benton yesterday.
and in a conversation with a RIVER PRESS
reporter impaired much information of in
terest to the travelling public.
The old Arrow Creek hill has been the
terror of bull whackers and mule SINNERS
for many a day, and our readers, especially
freighters and the citizens of Meagher coun-
ty who come to Benton after supplies, will
be pleased to learn that q new road has been
built over the hill, which is q vast improve
ment over the old one. The work has been
done during the past year by Mr.. LaMotte,
and when he gets his road completed and in
irst-class condition he will charge a small
sum as toll.
The new road is about a mile above the old
one, and is only q mile and 4 half in length
from the bridge which he has constructed
across Arrow creek to the foot of the hill on
the other side. By the former road the hill
is three miles long, and such a hill! This
simple statement gives a fair idea of the diff
ference in the two roads.
"How much work have you performed on
your road?' we asked.
II have put in just 147 days on it," he re-
piled, land shall continue operations until it
is in first-class condition. I want to resume
work as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and by a month can have, I think, a
good road"
"What is the verdict of those who have
tried it already ?"
"That it is a great improvement and can
be made a good mountain road. Some heavy
loads have been taken over the hill already,
and without any trouble, comparatively.
Charley Buchanan recently took l 1000 tbs.
over End had no difficulty whatever. With
some additional work, which I will put on
as soon as possible, it will be made what I
would call a good road"
"Is the general distance any longer by
your route?"
"Probably a mile and a half, but not any
more. Freighters, however, would 60
twenty-five miles to avoid the old hull which
is both dangerous and difficult"
As we said, this will be goud news for ev-
| erybody who has occasion to travel over the
| road from the Judith Basin to Benton. Il
will also be an important item for our town,
as ''that awful Arrow creek hil' has prompt
ed many 10 10 elsewhere for supplies, who,
if the road was a good one, would prefer
Benton as a market, even though not by .
hundred miles as near as Helena. Until suct
time as the county commissioners will learr
by experience that they must build roads il
Benton is to retain the trade of the country
tributary, Mr.. LaMotte's toll road will per
! form q goodly part.

Death OF "Dtxie.s'

On Monday Mrs. Leah Ward received a
telegram announcing the death of her hus-
band, j. G. Ward, Familiarity known as
"Dixie," at Warrenton, Mo-, on the 10Th
inst. A dispatch received a few days before
informed her that the end was near, and the
sad news was not unexpected. A few months
ago s'Dixie" went to his old home in Mis-
souri, in the hope that the change of climate
would benefr him, but as he Was in the last
stages of consumption there was little hope
| of this result. The deceased was an old
timer in Montana, having come to the Terri
tory in 81, during the gold excitement. For
a number Of years he was in the employ of
| the Diamond R Company as a freighter, and
was on the road several years. For some
time past, and before his return to the St ties,
| he kept a saloon ON Main street, and was sue
cessfui il business.
"Brinsy'' Osborne Killed by Judd Scott.
News was received in Benton Sunday that
on the 18th Bryan Osborne, better known
as "Briney," was shot and killed by Judd
Scott on the Marias, nearly Healy's Crossing.
It seems that some time prior the men had
quarreled about q squaw and Osborne threat
ened SCOTS life. They reconciled their diff
erencee, however, and the matter was forgot
ten for the time being. But on the 18th
quarrel was renewed. The latter, after some
sharp words passed, took an ak and made for
Scott, who grabbed his rifle at the door and
ran. Being pursued further he came to . bait
and cautioned his antagonist to stand back,
but as he continued to advance Scott placed
the muzZle Of the gun almost again
Osborne's breast and fired, killing him in
stantly. Scott then mounted his horse and
RODE to Joe Pitchett's bull camp where he
told his story substantially rs given above.
There were no other witnesses Of the dread
tul affair, and this narrative may be correct
and it may not. Scott took occasion during
the night to skip out and has escaped beyond
the line where he is comparatively safe. 1t
it was purely = self defence affair he would
probably not have been in such a hurry to get
away. Osborne was a well-knuWn character
in Northern Montana and in latter years his
mind was not evenly balanced He was a
hard drinker and when in his cups was d
dangerous person. SCOTS reputation is not
the best and it is probable that his story,
we're the facts known, would need a consid-
enable revision.
