Leon Cohn. Il Livingston citizen. WIN
took from Diapers saloon at that place Il
bag containing $500. and was caught in
the act, was brought to- Boznrian last
night and incarcerated in the cl;in.r all
to await the next term of cos.rt.
Rev. Father Gl!ldo viii visit Bozeman,
Livingston, Billings, Giendiye and other
points along the Yellowstone and left
Helena last eyenin. for that purpose.
We make the announcement so that
those of his faith may have notice
1t will be refreshing news for Bozc-
NANTES to know that another postal
clerk, running between Helena and Miles
City, has been caught stealing letters.
His name is ". L. Warren, and he was
arrested by Detective Zimmerman who
was in town Yesterday.
We understand that i. f. Fridley con-
templates plating out new town at his
ranch on the Park branch Of the railroad
and also building bridge across the
Yellowstone This would be the nearest
point to the mines Of Emigrant Gulch
and would be Il desirable site for new
town.
A late dispatch says that the Wells,
Fargo Il Co., express company will be
allowed to operate along the Northern
Pacific railroad. In this case the mer-
chants OF this and other towns along the
line will probably be gainers as competi-
ton will probably lower the rates. If
the present high freight rate continues
our merchants can ship many things by
express as cheaply as they now get them
by freight.
Why don't somebody bring some
turkeys to market Thanksgiving day is
close at hand and we presume there are
many who will want to observe the day
in the customary manner? What would
Thanksgiving day be, without the usual
turkey and cranberr! sauce. Wen furn-
ish the sauce if any body will furnish the
turkey. This reminds us-but the story
is too long.
Some men working at the Bozeman
tunnel, undertook to force the railroad
company to take them TO st. Paul. Sher-
if johnson, OF Custer county, was re-
quested to force the men to leave the
train at Forsyth or arrest them. He had |
no difficulty to get them to diseinbark, |
and they are now waiting the action Of
the railroad officials, who, they claim, |
Promised them passes when winter |
set. in.
The postmaster-eeneral has issued an
order forbidding postniasters from aiding |
fraudulent pension claim agents, By furn-
ishing them list of ex-Uuion soldiers, !
and others supposed to be entitled to
pensions, and also By distributing their /
circulars among that class.
They are forbidden to furnish such lists
or to distribute any circulars OF the kind
indicated unless they are addressed to |
some individual and are prepaid.
We have been disappointed. Oar
plans have all failed. %sWe thought we
were going to have some fun. We had
engaged a ''stalwart" printer. Not
stalwart" in a political sense, but in
physical sense. He had bought an extra
heavy pair OF boots, designed especially
with reference to their prorellin. ca
pacity when properly applied. and was
intended to be used on the first person
who brought Us an essay on beautiful
snow," but it did not come, hence our
disappointment. But then they may be
used yet-on some tramp.
The board Of trade at Livingston have
an idea, which 10 would be well
for other Montana towns topattern after.
That is to have letter back gotten mp
descriptive Of their town and surrounding
country and used i'll their correspondence
Very few people, especially business
hen, use more than one face of a sheet
md the other might very well contain
isefill information. Many letters are re-
'eived from various portions of the states
making inquiries about Montana. which
@ be answered require time and labor.
This would answer all the requirements.
The new standard of time will soon be
ldoptcd ON the Northern Pacific as it
las been done ON eastern roads The
Western Union has adopted it. The
tandard for this portion OF Montana will
,e that of the Mountain division or zone
nd the standard meridian will be the
me hundred and filth. which crosses the
Yellowstone about midway between
and Miles City. We are not
ware as yet what change this will make
n our time as we have il now, but the
hangc will be good, as it viii insure a
inform standard.
