FROM BOHEMIAN.
A Budget OF News From the Terminal
Town.

BozEMAS, April 9.-Tbe charter has been
adopted,
THE TOWN INCORPORATED,
and the municipal officers voted for and elect
ed. The men given place are generally &C.
ceptable to the voters. The remainder OF
the people are satisfied as people usually are,
who have neither exercised voice nor vote
| IF incorporation will result in improved side
walks, y system of drainage and better SAM
tarv condition, Bozaman will have much to
be thankful for. The business part of the
town IL 10 fiat II Is a difficult matter to tell
which way drains should be put In, but ~
there IL creek east Of town, and the East
and West Gallafin rivers skirt the town on
the North and South no mistake can be made
If the sluces are long enough.
COURT TERMS.
The crowded condition of the Gallatiu
county Jail, and the length of time between
court terms Is a convincing argument In IA
vor Of the division Of the Territory into four
judicial districts. The last term of court
held here was In October and November
SIX months ago-and the next term will be
held In June. Eight months apart terms of
court are not sufficiently close for either tag
payers or the persons incarcerated. No less
than four murderers await trial at the June
term Of the district court here, viz: Albeit,
the murderer Of McKinnee who was foreman
Of a railroad grading contract; johnson, .
Swede, who murdered countryman Hoppy,
who shot Walters, and the two men charged
with the killing Of Irving Hunter, one Of
whom will most certainly be convicted
Twenty-Five prisoners in all are in Jail, aud
"still there's more to follow"
STILL BOOMING.
This has been the most fortunate town in
| Montana. The boom has constantly increas-
ed since its commencement, over year ago
A great amount of building has been done,
and numerous other structures will be erect
ed this season. Real estate has auadrupled
In price and tracts of ground adjacent to the
town->ite are sold at prices which short
time since would have seemed fabulous
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, and Dakota
capitalists have invested largely, and home
dealers with capital and nerve have turned
many an honest penny already this spring.
venture the prediction that better prices
will be obtained This summer for real estate
here than will again rule.
BRIEFER MENTION.
| Large shipments of silver bullion are being
| sent east from here. The white metal comes
from the Alta Montana and Gregory mines.
The spring crop Of horse thieves Is loom
ing up. Pour animals have been stolen with
in the past ten days. Two have been found
| and two have not been heard from. As soon
as the description Of the missing animals Is
obtained win send you an advertisement
why would it not be a good idea to adver-
tise stolen animals In all the Territorial
newspapes?)
Young Story has furnished bail, or his IA
Their did for him, AMI the boy has gone In
search of better life, trust.
The roller skating mania has reached here.
| One hall Is now devoted to the pastime, and
rink 65xl0o is to he put up right away. A
Helena girl en- route east, visited the rink the
other night. No skates could be found to fit
her shoes, so she procured the running gears
Of couple Of freight wagons and gracefully
gIided around the hall for an hour or so. The
sport Is very exhilsrating and advise the
