To the Editor of the Billings Herald.
A report of the ''ball' in this place, pub.
lished in former issue of the HERALD,
gave too mnch credit to the Ripon colon
lists, who had nothing to do with the party,
providing the supper is excepted, but we
venture to say the young people of the
settlements in the valley are as good look
ing, respectable and as good dancers as the
average in the territory. No gentleman
was excluded from the society of the ladies,
but there were few persons present, and
some of them holding responsible positions
in the construction department of the rail.
road company, who according to report,
deserved to be barred from the society of
respectable people. None but respect
able people are welcomed by the
citizens at this end of the val
ley-the other class are not wanted.
We think your correspondent "gaye him.
self away. 1.-THE settlers are now doing
their threshing and gathering their crops.
Mr.. Taylor has harvested quite crop of
Dent corn, in good condition though of
late planting. Considerable wheat is grown
in this vicinity, also vegetables are good
crop. Melons are grown in profusion 80.
Park City is improving. We have as neat
postoffice as there is in the territory. A
telegraph office has been established, and
our efficient treasurer, Ohny Taylor, ap-
pointed operator...... action of the re-
cent convention at Miles City meets the ap-
p'oval and will have the support of the
people at this end of the valley. w.

Ball at the Windsor Hotel.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather on the evening of Monday,
one OF the most pleasant and ENJOYABLE
social entertainments which we have
had since the inception of the town,
was the first of series of social dances
! given by the Billings Social Club, which
came off in the Windsor Hotel with the
greatest eclat. Over twenty couples
were present and the general tone of
the assembly was such as would do
credit to gathering of the elite in an
old and pOpulous town. Ladies and gen
tlemen appeared in the evening dress
OF society, where five months since
there was scarcely a trace of the civil
lzation which now manifests itself. The
committees which had the matter in
hand deserve credit for the success at
tanned by their efforts. Messrs. r.. d,
WadsWorth, F.. NJ. French and Fred
johnson were the committee on invita-
ton. Messrs. H. H. Mund, G. B. Hulme
and a. Devine were the committee on
arrangement. Messrs. Paul VanCleve,
W. B. Palmer and c. Case acted as floor
managers. The gentlemanly propric-
tor of the Windsor Hotel, Mr.. r. ]. An
derson, kindly placed the rooms re-
qulred at the disposal of the club, Civ
ing himself no small Inconvenience for
which he certainly merits the best
thanks of those who attended. The
supper provided for the occasion, under
the superintendent of Mr.. T. H. Nc
Cabe, was more than creditable, con-
sidering that he had only few hours
notice. The reputation of the Italian
band, whose services were gratuitously
given by our genial friend MI. Garrison,
is SO good that it would seem su.
pertiuous to remark that the music was
excellent. The figures of the quad1lles
were called by Mr.. Jones, who might
be considered a professional owing to
his having conducted dances in Laramie
for several years. Although the enter
was success in every
sense, we trust that it is only one Of
many similar assemblies which we shall
have during the coming season.. The
effect Of the best of our citizens meeting
in such a manner cannot be over esti-
mated, as it is likely to bring together
those who in the rush and turmoil of
our life here would not otherwise meet
on any social ground.

MONTANA NEWS.

The Judith country, it is said, is now as
green as in midsummer.
We understand that the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Montona, met at Deer Lodge
yesterday.
Bozeman seems to have an epidemic OF
robberies, many citizens being 'held up

The result of the Musselshell roundup
is gratifying to stock men, the number of
young calves born since spring is quite
large, and the number of beef steers found
is beyoud their expectation.
We have heard rumors of trouble in the
new town of Clark City, on Friday, but
have SO far been unable to ascertain any
particulars worthy Of credence. One state
ment is to the effect that five or six men
have been wounded.
On Wednesday, Milo Courtwright brought
in AGO ounces of gold retort from the Grub
stake mine. 1t is valued at about Sc. 600,
and is the result of run of one hundred
tons of ore from that mine, worked on the
Stemple mill.-IHelcna independent.
Contrary to general supposition, stock
men assert that the recent rains have no
beneficial effects on the pasturage. 1t is
too late in the season to expect a substan-
tial growth of new grass, while that which
is matured and cured on the ground is only
injured for winter pasturage by the drench-
ing rains. A dry fall is what pleases Mon
tana stocklnen.

OBITUARY.

Mr.. II. NJ. Taylor, who was shot last
Wednesday by Henry Lumpp, expired
on Sunday moring. His funeral took
place Monday afternoon, the body hav-
ing been conveyed to the Congregation
al church an impressive service was
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Shuart.
The untimely death of Mr.. Taylor at
the hands of the villainous wretch who
shot him is one of those incidents which
recall to mind the simple manner in
which many men who have passed
through the battle field and the greatest
dangers which can be encountered in
this life meet their end. Mr.. Taylor
had passed through all the trials and
vlclssltudes which have had to be en-
dured by the hardy pioneers of this
Territory, and it does seem an unmerit-
ed termination to such a career, that he
should be shot down by miserable and
worthless fellow.
THE INQUEST.
The evidence of Drs. Davie and
Parker, who made the post mortum ex-
animation went to show that the cause
OF the death was the gun shot wound.
Dr. Bole's evidence referred only TO
the condition in which he found Mr..
TAYLOR when. first called upon to attend
him.
The following is the verdict given at
the inquest on the body of the late II.
NJ. Taylor:
An inquisition holden at Billings, in.
the County of Custer, Territory Of Mon.
tana, on the first and second days Of
October, 1882, before me, A. IL. Hersey,
coroner of said county, upon the body

jurors whose names are herounto aubr

do say that the said HI. M. Taylor came
to his death from a wound caused "

then in the hands of Henry Lumrp. on
the 2ath day Of September, A.D 161

Dubuqce. Iowa, for many years, died ON
Sept. 30th, sitter brief illness. He ran a
faro bank there with varying success, but a
