The barney Stats Case.

1t seems that there has been injustice DON
Mr.. Barney Stats in the statement made IN
regard to his arrest and trouble with his wife.
The facts in the case show that he did not
strike his wife; that he was justified in TAX
ing his child, and that he is not an imposter
at all, but is really the wronged party, In every
sense of the word. Parties who know Stats
we'll vouch for his good character both here
and in California. The matter will be settled
in the courts, and we make this correction to
undo any unfavorable impression caused by

We acknowledge Il pleasant call, on
Monday, from RI. Casey, a young man
we'll known to many of our readers, and
whose terrible experience while driving
stage on the Benton and Helena line iii
the winter Of 1879 is still green in the
memory Of many throughout Montana.
The facts in reference to that terrible
battle with cold and starvation are brief
~ these: While driving the mail cart
between Sun River and Benton, al the
time indicated above, Casey became lost
in a severe snow storm. and for teu days
wandered about on the prairie without
food of any kind. * short time after he
was missing Superintendent Rove in
stituted Il search for him, but not until
the tenth day Was nc found, and then
near the Teton some twenty miles from
the stage road. When found by Mr..
Rowe, Casey was seated upon the mail
sack, holding the reins, while the horse,

Odd Fellows Building.

Choteau lodge, /. O. O. f., was incor-
porated yesterday as q preliminary step
towards the erection Of 3 fine brick
building and hall. Complete arrange
ments to that end have been made, and
it is probable that within a week the
contract will be let. The building will
be erected on Main street, adjoining F.
G. Rooserelts store, one Of the very best
locations ia Benton. 1t is to be thirty
by seventy feet in dimensions, two
stories high, exclusive Of q basement
with a ceiling ofseven feet. The second
story will be used as a hall by the lodge
and probably by other secret orders as
well. The lower story and basement
will be rented for some business, and
there is scarcely a more desirable loca-
ton Ill the city. The estimated cost Of
the building is 8 $500.

Mr.. Hunsberger believes firmly in
Benton's future, and expresses the opin-
ION that it will not be long until another
structure Of like proportions will be re-
CURED to accommodate the travelling
public at this place. The hotel business
has been better this year than eve be-

to this business as to all others, and the

Five Bears.

+. Il. Clingan and ID. Dutro camped
near Keegan's butte, in Belt park, one
day, and Dickcted their horses near
camp, bat OF the opposite side Of n small
grove of timber, and out of sight. About
five o'clock in the evening q disturbance
among the animals was heard, and Mr..
D. went 10 see what was the matter.
After making his way through the grove
he was not a little surprised, not to say
terrified, at beEolding five grizzly bears
in the immediate vicinity Of the horses,
two huge fellows and three pretty good
sized cubs. One of the horses was loose
and had run off a good distance, but the
other was securely fastened, and ex-
hibited great fright, although the grizzlies
made no attempt to attack either of the
horses. Mr.. Dntro slipped around and
caught the stampeded horse, and mount
ing, rode up to the other animal and IN
fastened him. Meantime the cubs went
UP a tree near by and the two monster
bears disappeared in the thicket and
were seen no more. Mr.. Clingan in
forms US Tillinghast creek, near where
they were camped, is fairly alive with
bear, and that their tracks can be seen
everywhere along the stream. Hethinks
he would not like to initer long in that
vicinity.
