The numerous friends (?) of Edwin F.
Potter, who was proprietor of the Key
City restaurant, are very anxious to as
| certain his whereabouts. They mourn
his sudden departure on Monday morn
ing to the extent Of some 5000. The
sheriff pursued him, but at the present
writing he has not been captured.
We understand that the plan of the
school building has been forwarded to
Mr.. Billings for his approval. If 1t
meets with his views it is very probable
that the building will be commenced
this season, as he has with muniticenr
generosity offered to contribute SIC, 900
to the erection of suitable building.
Messrs. MARITIME & Macarthur have ad-
ded to their business an oyster house,
the culinary arrangements to be in the

Their enterprise should certainly en-
sure it.
In the case of the Territory of Mon
tana versus Bode and HuGner, for grand
larceny, that is, stealing lumber from.
the river, the defendants were acuuit-
ted by Judge Fawkes. The defence
was ably conducted by Attorney james

complicated the arguments were
lengthy.

OHara Bros, railroad contractors, Cedar

name Of Hoskins 4 Co, and now con-
troll the Pioneer meat market, North
18th street, Billings, and the City mar
ket, Coulson. Mr.. Peters has retired
from the concern. The two markets
owned by tins firm would be a credit TO
large city.
1t viii be interesting to many Of our
readers to know that Father Venneman,
who called upon rs last week stated that
it was his intention to return to Billings
next spring, when he would endeayor TO
have church built. We have no doubt
that if this be undertaken, the reverend
gentlemans zeal and energy, coupled
with the generosity Of the people Of
this locality, will ensure the building of
handsome Roman Catholic church in
Billings.

After examining the portable houses
which Mr.. Rice has placed on the Nc
Adow addition We concluded that he
could not have made any money putting
them up at the figures which he has,
yet the feasibility Of supplyin. many OF
the towns in this territory with such
houses has been demonstrated, and VIC
do no: think that Mr.. Rice will lose any
thing eventually as the pecuniary loss
which may have been sustained now,
will be more than made up by a few
sales to parties who require such build
ings. We understand that several gen.
tlemen Of means have already COM
rnenced negotiations for o large number
Of these portable houses for different
points in the territory.

Four months ago, anyone passing
through this portion of the Yellowstone
valley would have remarked nothing
worthy of attention other than the
beautiful scenery, but to-day the scene
is changed. In the short time mention
ed u town has sprung up that, consider
| ing it's age and size, is worthy OF the
name of city, and with it various indus
tries have sprung into existance that
MANY an Older town might justly be
proud of; the most recent of these Ii
Mr.. &. B. Silverberg's pop factory: Mr..
