Of a sensation was created here on Friday
by the report that Frenchman named
Won Smith, who has heretofore, at least,
boasted OF white skin, had eloped with q
loose negro girl named sallie Bally. The
intention Of the pair was to hie away to
land where the law regulating the marriage
rite is less stringent than here, and there be
united in the "holy" bonds; but they
somehow failed TO get farther away than
Clarksbnrg, and returned to this point
rather sore over their disappointment. II
Is reported that the young fellow attempted
to have his parents attest that lie had negro
blood in bis veins, in order to obtain the
requisite license here. There has been
strong talk Of giving him free baptism in
the rivera popular mode Of Furnishing
petty offenders here whom the law does
not regard as coming under Its jurisdiction.

Weston came near losing her command
ing officer last evening. As Mayor Hay.
den, wife and child were nearing the Stone
Coal bridge at the north end OF town, on a
drive to the country seat, the lines in some
way became entangled, causing the horse
10 back the buggy and occupants over the
high bank. Mrs. Hayden was thrown out
to one side and escaped with fractured
ankle aud few bruises. TIE Squire fell
under both the horse and buggy, but by
some good fortune he received only few
bruises. The child was unhurt, and the
horse and rig came out without scratch.
II was the most remarkable upset recorded
in these parts for many n day.
Another surprising accident betell the
the little daughter OF AIR. US, Mitchell on
Saturday evening. She was at the well
curb, and losing her balance she plunged
into the murky depths, and stranseito re-

frat. Tier father, who was by, dropped her
rope and pulled her out, none the worse
after her dangerous feat excepta few bruises
However, 1t might be well to remark that
she has no intention Of becoming "star"

yiously described. To add to the curious

Police P1ckings.

Chas. McFaul was arrested Thursday
by Constable Finnegan for being too
drunk to navigate. The officer thought
the county could furnish the tired man
a softer bed at the Jail than he bad on
the sidewalk.
In Judge Kanouse's court Ray
Wright was sentenced to pay 81 and
costs, or ten days imprisonment if fine
and costs were not paid.
Chris. Fassard was fined ST. and costs,
and 20 days III limbo if not paid. The
offense of both was the same, getting on
a jamboree. The difference in the i'm
prisonment melted out was that Wright's
previous record was somewhat clearer
than his comrades.
Wiegand and another gentleman, who
were arrested on charge Of packing off
some of Stanford's wool outside of bus
mess hours, are out on bonds furnis he'd

The Silver Bell Mine.

A letter has been received by a party
in the city stating that a new strike of q
big body of rich ore had been made on
the Silver Bell, and also that the lead
tends more to keep within the lines o.
the location instead drumming on to the
Silver King grounds, as was at first fear
ed. The company are very reticent
about telling their business to outsiders,
and as the men workingin the mine are
not supposed to give anything away the
outside public are considerably in the
dark as to the real state of developments
just at present in the mine. About all
they have to judge from is the fine lot
Of carbonate ore hauled to the smelter

An Awful Accident.

On Thursday last, November LIST, Mr..
Roberts, a ranchman on Cottonwood
creek, in the Judith Basin, was thrown
by a bucSing broncho which he was en-
d%eavoring to ride. The vicious brute
gave the unfortunate man a terrible kick
as he fell, striking him in the forehead.
Roberts was killed instantly and pre-
sented a CHASTITY appearance, as his skull
was split open and his brains exposed to
view his neck was also broken by the
conclusion. Roberts had ridden the
roncho only once before, last spring,
and the ungovernable beast had easily
unseated him then. No further attempt
had been made to break the horse until
the day of the accident, when, valor
getting the better of discretion, Roberts
again mounted him with the above fatal
result. The deceased was a Welshman
by birth, but had been several years in
this country, and at the time of bis
death was the owner of a fine ranch on
the Maiden road, this side of Cotton
wood creek. He had also a fine band of
horses. Roberts had no family, and it
is not known whether he has any rela-
tiyes in this country.

The Months Cleanup.

We have been permitted to make the
following extracts from the monthly re-
port of Mr.. A. NJ. Esler, manager of the
Maginnis mining company, better
known as the Houser d Hotter mines.
The amount of ore worked in October
was $50 tons; amount of gold saved 493
ounces; net value, $685. rs. The aver
age assay value Of tailings is SOL in gold
and seven ounces in silver, per ton-to-
tai value in $50 tons, $31, 10000. Total
expense for mining and milling $4.O6
per ton.
With the pan and chemical system for
treating these ores properly, the mana
ger claims that he would have produced
a saving Of the enormous sum of over
SEC, 900 for the month. As there is now
over $50, 900, and considering it suicidal
to their interests to run the mill with
such a loss in tailings, they have closed
down with the intention of introducing
pans in the spring. Can any 1O-stamp
mill in the country make a better show

White Earth. Many ranches have been
plundered and a number of cattle driven
off and killed. Gen. Whistler has been
applied to for aid, and he has referred
the matter to the department headquar-

unless the military send aid they will
take the matter into their own hands.

about fifty miles south Of Buford. Up

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the fire company, held last Tuesday at
the city hall, the committee appointed
for the selection Of a proper uniform for
the company recommended that a neat
cap, belt and shirt be bought that will
cost about $40 for each man. Some
scheme should be devised whereby our
liberal hearted citizens could each con-
tribute his mite toward a fund for the
purchasing of these uniforms, as it is
too much to expect the boys of a volun-
teer fire department to urn out night or
day, in freezing or hot weather, to fight
the fire fiend, and then be to all this ex-
ira expense besides. An entertainment
of some kind for their benefit would be

Mistaken Identify.

The RIVER PRESS publishes a state
ment to the effect that a young man,
who has been employed as a waiter in a
Barker hotel. has been arrested on sus-
picion of being "the young Story who
participated in the $40, 900 robbery OF his
uncle's bank in Bozeman last winter"
The Choteau sheriff will find himself
mistaken when he reaches Bozeman,
Story having gone east Immediately at
ter his release on bonds. Heidi not rob
his uncle's bank, but procured $4,000
by registered mail from the First Ma
tional of Helena by mean of a cypher
telegram, which he had copied for use
in case of emergency. The young mans
father sold his Ohio home in order to
procure the money necessary to get his
son out Of jail. It was generally under
stood the bonds ($1, 000) would be forfeit
ed and the erring youth permitted to go,
in the hope he might sin no more. 1t
is safe to predict he has not been in
Montana since the day following his re-
lease from the Bozeman jail.-Inter

Teton Wood Drive.

Daniel Mckay, OF the firm of Hous>

with ten men for the headwaters Of the
I Teton, about twenty miles above Old
Agency, to spend the winter cutting
and banking cord-wood for use at their
brick yard and also for sale in the Ben
ton market this coming year. They
will have to pay the men about S1.5e per
cord for the wood banked on the edge
of the stream. During the high water,
next June, it will be thrown into the
Teton and driven down to within a few
miles Of the city. They expect to get,
from $500 to 5000 cords cut~this-Mintcf
al good pine wood.lAt $12 a cord,
which II as low as pine wood will ever
get in the Fort Benton market, that
wood pile will be worth some money.
This is no new business to the firm, as
they cut several hundred cords of cot
t,nwood about thirty miles up the Teton
last winter and were successful In driv-

He Knew Lewis and Clarke.


From Clatsop plains news that
the Clatsop king is dead. Weighed down
by years and the knowledge of cruel
wrong, this ancient and dishonorable
aboriginal has gone to his ~forefathers.
He died on the 18th. He was once a
mighty chief, the head of the Clatsop
tribe, and joyously roamed these forests
wild and gladly sucked down the sue
culent clam when our ancestors were
Graded in their far-of eastern homes.
His name was Ca-ta-ta. His going or
coming is not now Of prime importance,
but there was q time when he was an
unholy terror, and his arrival would
make trouble in the family. Incident
ally, it may be mentioned that he has
killed three wives, and so interfered
with the inside works Of seven strong
men Of the tribe that their graves have
been green these many years by the
