fagEE FORKS.
The Paul 4 Hanley Place Goes Into
the Hands OF N RnglIsh
Company.

We received pleasant call from Mr..
Panl Of Three Forks, and from him we
learn more particulars Of the sale made
by him to the English company, Of the
real estate of Paul & Hanley, Three
Forks.
The property has been bought by an
English company who will expend a
large amount of money in the way ofim-
provements. They intend, he says, to
erect at no very distant day rolling
mill to work the valuable iron mines
situated about five miles from Three
Forks. One thousand dollars has been
subscribed for the erection Of church
building for the Catholics, with the UNI
derstanding that like amount will be
given any Protestant VINO will undertake
to build, and also five hundred dollars
for school house.
The town of Three Forks has been
laid out and number of buildings will
soon 90 up. He also informs lis that the
depot grounds for the Utah Northern
have been selected, and that the road
will be built as far as that place during
this year.
While Mr.. Paul has sold out his real
estate, he intends tn remain at the place
whicl(h been the scene of SO much of
his struggles and misfortunes, and engage
in a livery and sale stable, agricultural
implements and building material.
When Messn. Paul & Hanley went to
Three Forks in 1873, they rented the
property for two years and then bought
it for $500. Soon after they had COM
pletea large and commodious structure
in 1880, a fire swept away nearly every
vestige of improvement, but nothing
daunted, they Immediately commenc-
ed the erection of a larger and more
commodious hotel costing them $4,000.
This and the expense of maintaining
series of bridges crippled them to such
an extent that they almost dispaired Of
getting their heads above water, but
with pluck and energy they held on
until Mr.. Hanley died; this further COM
plicating their affairs. Mr.. Paul has
now succeeded in selling the property
for $4,000, which puts him in good
shape, and as he expresses it he can
look man squarely in the face, as he
will be in condition to pay every dollar
owing and have money left. We con-
graduate him upon this termination of
the difficulties under which he has been
labOrin0,

Coles Circus.

Saturday last, Bozeman was crowded
with people from all parts of the county,
to witness the performances at Coles
circus. 1t is estimated that not less than
5000 people were in town. The circus
arrived early in the day, and the moving
stream of human beings from Main St.
to the depot attested the interest taken.
About one o'clock the caravan filed into
Main street and for the distance of half
mile there was moving and dense mass
of humanity, which soon took up its
march to the circus tents. There was
considerable delay in reaching the
grounds on account of the ticket seller
not being ready, and when he threw
open his door, the scene beggars descrip-
ton. The vast mass surged and pushed
and yelled in their endeavors to purchase
tickets, and the experiences of the ticket
seller was about as creditable as anyother
of the performances. At last the vast
aphitheatre was opened and filled in a
short space of time, until it seemed no
more could get in. The show was first
class and the audience was well pleased.
The menagarie contained great variety
of wild animals and were so arranged as
to make splendid exhibit, indeed, this
was to us the most attractive feature.
The bareback riding of Leon and the
performance on the flying trapeze, are
worthy of special mention. We under
stand the arena acts in the evening were
not SO creditable, as they seemed in too
big hurry to get through and away
We did not hear of any complaints Of
lawlessness and thievery as was expected
and although preparations were made by
the police force to anticipate it.

Help the Needy.

Our readers will no doubt remember
the accidental shooting of little Lena
Ellison, near Gallatin City some time
ago, and from which she has recovered
as by miracle, except that she is a Grip
pie for life, her sufferings, misfortunes
and heroism has attracted the attention
of the whole people, and many and
heartfelt wishes have been expressed for
her recovery. Though alive. she is Grip
pied for life. Our worthy townsman,
Mr.. Marsh, has been printing large
number of photographs of this heroic
little girl, which he offers for sale, one
half of the proceeds of such sales to be
given to her. We trust they may find a
large sale so that she may reap a sub
stantial benefit. The half retained by
Mr.. Marsh simply covers the cost to
him. The pictures can be found al
Marsh's gallery, and record will be
kept Of all those who purchase. Besides
securing a picture of this bright little
girl, you will be giving her benefit.

Burglary.

During the performance at the Palace
Theatre on last Thursday night, the
house of Mr.. Geo. Wilson was entered
by prying up a window, and two solid
gold finger rings were stolen. Mr.. Will
son thinks their arrival home must have
precipitated the flight of the thief or
thieves. as everything betokened hasty
exit. The back door was wide open. 1t
was matter of establishment that the
house was not robbed of more arti-
cles. There are lot of worthless fel-
lows hanging around, and we cannot be
too cautious. Such things are becoming
too frequent in the country and a little
western Justice will have to be admins
tered.

Ordinarily this stands for Young Mems
Christian Association, but some irrever-
ent individuals have opened a saloon
with the above name, in st. Paul, and in
close proximity to the institution above
named, and have applied for license.
This has aroused the ire of the Y. M. C..
A., and the Board of Aldermen are ex-
ercised about granting them a license
under that name. The saloon men says
that the initials stand for, "You May
Come Again." The fight is not SO much
against adding another saloon to the
number, but upon the appropriation OF
the name, the Y. NJ. C. A. taking it as a
slur upon their institution.
