The Speeter Of the Toyabe.

Robert A. Mari, q member of the
Government Geological Survey, in a
recent letter gives an interesting ac-
count of an atmospheric phenomenon
which he lately Witnessed in the Toy
abe Range southwest of Montana. Mr..
Mari says: Suddenly, as stood
looking over the vast expanse beneath,
] saw myself confronted by monster
figure of a man standing in mid-air be-
fore me upon the top OF q clearly-de-
fined mountain peak, which had but the
thin air OF the valley below for q rest
ing-place. The figure was only short
distance from me. Around it Two cir
Giles of rainbow ligh and color, the
outer one family defined as compared
with the inner one, which was bright
and clear and distinctly irridescent.
Around the head Of the figure was
beautiful halo of light, and from the
figure itself shot rays of colors normal
to the body. The sight startled me
more than can now tell. l threw up
my hands in establishment and perhaps
some little fear, and at this moment the
specter seemed to move toward me. In
a few minutes l got overmy fright, and
then, after the figure had faded away,
| recognized the fact that l had enjoyed
one of the most wonderful phenomena
of Nature. Since then I have seen It
once or twice from JEFF Davis Peak, but
1t never created such an impression
upon me as it did that evening when j
was doing service as a heliotroper all
along the top Of Arc Dome. -Helena

Court Matters-Ihe Reunion

court Matters-Ihe Reunion.
McKIYHEY, June Especial. IA the
district court this morning in the case Of
Roberts VS.. the County, motion to dis
solve injunction was overruled. The effect
o the decision is that the county has bnilt
u bridge at an expense of $500, and to
which the public has no access. The decis.
ion is regarded as sound and will likely
cause the county commissioners to be more
careful of protests by citizens.
Our district court is dispatching business
rapidly ana satisfactorily. This morning
our Judge intmated pretty strongly that
divorce casee were becoming entirely too
frequent.
The grand jury adjourned to-day for one
week to give granger members u chance TO

continued rains will retard harvesting and
injure wheat in shock.
