and visited the cabin where the dead man

was bruised and cut in the head, hands and
wrists his throat was cut, and dozen or
more stabs and cuts were found on his back.
These latter wounds were inflicted with
| pair of shears and two tined fork. The
men. as also has Abbott, have been commit
ed without bail If the testimony shown at

THE CITY OF BOHEMIAN.
The increase of population, and other con-
| siaerations. have induced the Leading eiti-
zeus here to frame charter, which has been
SAINT to Helena for legislative sanction. The
incorporation act il somewhat OF n modifca-
ton of those of Helena and Butte, hat has
been deemed the best sections having been
selected 1t would seem less expensive
city government for towns the size Of Boze-
maa would meet the approval of Taxpayers.
Ii Is claimed by some that the charters OF
Helena and Butte are excellent In every re-
| spect, but

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE.

, | by escaping the nery baptism which has
!. been administered to other towns in the Ter
) ritory However, some efforts are being put
, forth. Cisterns are being dag, and company
!, formed. As nothing has been said or done
toward procuring an engine, it Is evidently
