Peppefed with Fine Shot.

On Friday last man named McDavit
presented himself to DR.. Waters for
treatment. He said he had Been fired
upon with shot gun, and that several OF
the shots had taken effect in various por-
lions of his body. His wounds were
treated and the man went on his way
rejoicing at his narrow escape. From
the various reports in circulation relative
to the affair we have sifted out the fol-
lowing. McDavit was engaged in floating
logs down "Sour Dough creek" near
Bozeman, much against the wishes Of
the farmers living along the stream, who
use the water for irrigating purposes and
have suitable dams built at various
points. Friday McDavit was pushing
logs down the stream when he was sud-
denly fired upon by person unknown,
with the above results. Both parties are
censured, some claiming that the land
owners living on the stream have no
right to interfere with log driving, a.
long as they obtain sufficient water Tor
irrigating purposes, and that if their irrl-
eating dams have been interfered with
the courts were the proper place to cor
rect the wrongs. Others think that log
driving should not be allowed. and that
the owners are perfectly justifiable in
protecting their property with fire arms.
As for the CHRONICLE, it reserves its de-
cision until after the courts settle the
matter, as there is prospect Of its being
taken there.

Through the courtesy of DR.. Monroe
we have been favored with an advance
copy of the Calumet of the Coteau" from
the pen of the ex-Superentendant of the
National Park, p w. Morris. 1t is neatly
and tastefully gotten up. Most of the
book is composed of stanzas written by
Mr.. Norris while acting as superintend-
ant of the Park, written as he says with
out any preconceived plan or elaborate
preparation, but are the spontaneous out
growth of circumstances and events as
diverse and peculiar as the strains in
which they are written, or the scenes
which they portray" 1t is accompanied
with copious notes. explanatory of the
stanzas; also a Glossary containing the
definition of many Indian words and
provincialisms and a map and guide
book to the Yellowstone National Park
which from the thorough knowledge Of
the country, which the gentlman pos.
sesses would be of immense advantage to
the tourist. We have not made critical
examination of the book but will say ii
is neatly gotten up and well printed
The whole is dedicated to Chief Justice
Waite.

Skating Contest

The skating race on Monday night at
he roller skating rink was watched and
attended with great interest and excite
ment. At an early hour spectators began
to arrive, and before the hour for skating
came the seats in the pavilion were all
occupied. There was to have been four
contestants for the prizes, $40 and s., but
at the hour of the race it was announced
that Miss Wallace was sick and unable
to skate. The first mile, 2l laps, was
skated by Miss Lulu cleveland, who
made it in 5:23. She was followed by
Miss Hennesey, who made the mile in

One of the earliest teachings of our
boyhood was to respect age and hold in
veneration those who had passed through
most of the trials and tribulations of this
world and whose eyes were turned to the
future life. We have not forgotten those
lessons, and we hereby acknowledge a
call at the sanctum of the CHRONICLE of
two old ladies of Bozeman, at least the
card they left said old ladies, but the
sparkle of the eye and the elasticity of
the step would indicate that they had
many years before them yet of useful
ness. We saw no silver threads for ones
hair was as Black as night and the others
eye was as Piercing as an eagles. Call
again.

Mother.

Don't call your mother "Old woman"
Let her always be "mother." "Old lady"
is bad enough, but "old woman" applied
to her who gave you life and nursed your
infancy, is rude and unkind. A writer
has these reflections upon it:
Once it was Mother, Fam very hun
gry;;" Mother mend my jacket" Moth
er, put up my dinner" and then mother
with her loving hands would spread the
bread with butter, and stow away the
luncheon, and sew on the great patch,
her heart trimming with affections for
the impetuous, curly little pate that made
her so many steps and nearly distracted
her with his boisterous mirth. Now she
is the cold woman" but she did not
think it would ever come to that. She
looked on through the future years, and
saw her boy to manhood grown, and he
stood TRANSPORTED in the light of her own
beautiful love. Never was there more
noble son than he, honored of the world
and the staff of her declining years. Ay
he was her support even then, but she
did not know it. She never realized that
it was her little boy that gave he'
strength for daily toll, that slender form
was all that upheld her over the brink
of dark despair. She only knew that
she loved the child, and felt that amit
the mist of age his love would bear hel
gently through its inirmities to the dark
hall leading to life beyond. But the sol
has forgotten the tender ministration'
now. Adrift from tender moorings O
home, he is cold, selfish, heartless
Mother has no sacred meaning to thu
prodigal. She is the "old woman,
wrinkled and gray, lame and blind
Pity her, Oh grave, and dry those tear
that roll down her furrowed cheeks
Have compassion on her sensitive heart
and offer it thy quiet rest, that it ma.
forget how much it longed to be "dea
mother" to the boy it nourished through
a careless childhood, who in return 70
all this wealth of tenderness has onl,
given back reproach. Reader, are yo
guilty of like ingratitude?

A private at Fort Ellis proposed to a
young lady at the post last week and was
rejected. He thereupon came to Boze-
man, filed up on benzine and repaired to
Fort Ellis with the intention of taking
his life. He was discovered and his
suicidal intent frustrated by the iorcible
surrender Of a loaded rifle and an impro-
vised dagger, made from bayonet File
was incarcerated in the guard house and
on Sunday night made an attempt to
hang himself with his elastics lspenders.
1t is evident that he is altogether to anx-
ious ts 60 to the great beyond and that
he will live many years to regret his
temporary desire to die.

We had the authority of Mr.. Thos.
Lewis, who is experimenting the work
on the Masonic Temple, for our assertion
that work on the building was not delay
ed on account of material, and Mr. Ker-
mode the assertion of the Courier not
withstandinr) fully corroborates him.
We can also assure the Courier, that il
they need building material, there is some
to spare. There was perhaps day that
the lime on hand at the building was so
Stacked by rain that the superintendent
ordered it not to be used, and the only
delay was caused in sending for more.
We made the correction last week at the
suggestion of Mr.. Lewis and not to point
out our neighbours error. A careful in;
quiry has proven we were correct. So
much for being backed up by authority.

Real Estate Transfers.

At last the old timers who have been
vainly signing for the return of the good
old days of stage coach and bun team
supremacy, are waking up from their
Rip Van Wrinkle slumbers, and begin to
realize what boundless possibilities of
development and progress are in store
for Montana, since the Northern Pacific
has linked our destinies with the outside
world. Real estate, like {, Barometer,
notes these coming changes. During
the past ten days there has been an in
creasing inquiry on the part Of eastern
capitalists concerning Montana invest
ments, and there is much continent in
eastern agricultural papers on the mar
velous crop statements coming from the
Gallatin valley.
Reports, not yet fully confirmed, have
it that gentleman from the east, pos
sessing ample means, will shortly erect a
s3b. 900 hotel. Another syndicate are
looking over the city with view to the
putting in of the electric light. Rountree
4 Quaw are in correspondence with par
ties who think strongly Of starting a
wooden mill, and the latest report is that
the N. P. R. r. will send an expert to
examine the recently discovered deposit
Of hematite iron ore, with a view to
establishing smelling works here. The
railroad will erect a large round house
and repair shop on the ground they have
reserved for that purpose.
From the Clarke's Fork district comes
the most fatering reports of the output
of the mines. Farmers say that crops
never looked better than at present.
Meanwhile emigration is pouring in and
there can be but one result, rapid adj
vances in values.
