The Dillon tribune., 1883-03-10

the Orand Jury report OF THIS county ~
will blush clean down into his boots, tor
Tom made his maiden effort as the peoples
prosecuting attorney at the late term OF
| District Court. When Tom reads that re-
port he will steal himself silently away to
some secluded nook on the Gallatin brook
and musingly repeat" Taffy for Tom!'
On Wednesday Agent Beebe dispatched
the yard engine to Melrose to bring down
DR.. Schmahausen, of Glendale, to attend
Mr.. A. J. Burke, the stage and express agent
OF G., S. s. Co., who was low with an at
tack Of pneumonia The engine made fast
time, but the doctor arrived too late TO DO
anything for the dying man, who passed
unconsciousiv to the "other shore" while
attended by friends
The Butte Miner Of the Sth says: ar.
P. Hopkins died suddenly yesterday ii
congestion of the lungs. A coroner's in
quest was held resulting in verdict OF

was engaged in mining operations at Ban
mack for number OF years.
County Clerk McGough is engaged pre-
pairing the annual exhibit of the receipts
and expenditures of Beaverhead County.
The document will be ready for the printer
in a short time, and when it is issued the
tax PAYERS of Beaverhead County can rest
assured that it will be correct, and that the
county will not be out ard injured one cent
for its preparation for publication.
! The Grand Jury report is published in
another column. The recommendation to
provide the Dillon Jail with iron cages was
Timely and needed, but the Commissioners
did not act on the Jury's recommendation.
Without iron cages the Dillon Jail is a
fraud and disgrace to the county. No
prisoner can be securely kept in the coop
called Jail at present, and a mob can enter
this Insecure structure ust about as cas-,
as it could cattle corral.
While resort to lynch law is regretted
by all law upholding citizens, the Summa
rv hanging of the wrctched Jessrang will
have >ulutarv effect in Be:<verhead Coun-
tv. Since the DAYS of 1.-The Nisilante> OF
Montana' there has been committed with
in the limits OF this county large number
! of murders and the murderers have not
paid the penalties Of their crimes. 1t i
thought that the late neck-tie tragedy will
be warning to IN urderers to 20 slow.
The Beard Of County Commissioners
have employed Robt. B Smith at Il salary
of $3.50 per year as legal advertiser to the
Board. Mr.. Smith is we'll qualified to fur
nish the Board with any legal advice it NAV
need to steer clear of making any unlawful
apr OPERATIONS out of tie county treasury
Had former Boards OF County Commits
sioners employed legal advisers, at merely
nominal salaries, the county of Beaverhead
would, to day, be many big dollar ahead
The pleasant, Spring like weather is be-
ing enjoyed by fishing parties. Disciples
and disciplcsses of Izaac Walton are out on
the banks Of the river and creek daily
Feminine fishermen have poor luck, unless
they wear muzzles on their mouths to pre-
vent incessant talking. Ladies who wear
muzzles, SO it is reported, catch one now
and then, while ladies fishing without muz-
zles on do not get a nibble. Fish are not
like men-the finny fellows can't be caught
with female talk.
Sam Langhorne, Of the Bozeman Ch,ou-
,rle, relates his experience. Sam went to
Methodist sociable and got drunk on lem
onade, and was laid up for whole week,
Few Remarks" for his paper. We read
the 'remarks' and tn proved to be half
column of loaded brewer, adulterated with
weak lemonade. Very thin. 1t is cheat
on the Chronicles subscribers to print such
trash, and no one else, except Voolfolk,
would be guilty of doing SIGH.
The Methodists Of Miles City believe in
fighting the devil witt, 'the devils dollars"
and they resorted to placing contribution
boxes in the whisky mills OF that town.
The Press says that at the Keg saloon in
that town contribution box was filled
with the "devil's dollars" for the church.
This method Of raising he needful for
church purposes has not vet been tried in
Dillon, but there is money in it, and the
Miles City paper says SO.
The Dillon branch Of the John w. Low
ell Wagon Co. will be at the front and on
hand early this spring with an extra sup
ply of 6rst-class agricultural machinery.

of agricultural implements, wagons, ma

plements, machines and wagons, covering
two hundred square feet of ground.
