Regular Correspondence Neso North West.
STUART, April M.-The fine weather the
past week has been improved generally by
the farmers In this vicinity and the railroad
contractors. The grading Is being pushed
forward ~ fast rs men and teams can do 1t.
The grade IL finished from Stuart to the
river, and will be completed from there to
the end Of the sixth mile inside Of fifteen
days. Contractor McCune says that after
May they may commence laying track,
asd the grading will not detain the track
laying, ~ more or less work Is done on each
section to Anaconda. II the fine weather
continues three weeks longer the grading
will be completed to the town, and doubtless
soon after the track will be laid.
Morgan Evans returned last Sunday from
trip back to the States, bringing with him .
fine imported Norman stallion and thor
oughbred Hereford bull.
Messrs. Phillips, Parrot and Notes.-The

Gregson's Springs, which are located about
two and half miles south Of this place, are
gaming considerable notoriety for their cur

number Of health-seekers.
Another new stage line has been started
between this place and Anaconda by George
Kinney, which bids fair to take its share of
the business. .
The Anaconda Company are shipping

FOUND DEAD.
An Unknown Dead Man Found Near Null
len Tunnel.

Thursday of last week q man was discov-
cred lying dead near the foot OF a hill, about
100 yards from the N. p. track, two or three
Strang went over Friday, held an inquest,
and had the body buried. No bruises or in
dicatiens of violence were found on the body,
nor any papers or other direct clue to his
identity. He had evidently persisted from
natural causes His feet were bare and
scratched Is IL he had been wandering In the
brush, and he had lain down on his back,
With feet extended, Is though for burial. He
had On . badly worn suit Of clothes, bit now
blue overAils. In his pocket wers found .
little red leather memorandum book, with
two recipes in 1t and some figures, = brier-
wood pipe with short stem and . heavy brass
clasp, buckskin purse containing 1870. He
was perhaps 10 to 80 years Of age, 8 feet 8 or
sinchss high, and compactly built; was close
shaved and had gray mustache. His upper
front teeth projected considerably, and .
small corner was broken of OF one. He
seemed TO have been very dark complex
toned. He had been dead several days when
found, although within plain view Of the
railroad where the section gang had worked.
Mr.. Coty says few days before he met
man answering about the same description
near the same place, and believed from his
actions he was crazy, so stating on his return
home. No one about the tunnel knew any
thing about him. 1t 10 hoped the above may
lead to his Identification. Mr.. strang has the
articles found on his person.

The Belknap Town Site.

Land Agent Lamborn, Of the Northern
Pacific Company formally and officially re-
pudiates, or rather denies, any contract be-
tween that Company and the Belknap Town
Improvement Company, Of which G. G..
Howell is President, and notifies parties buy
ing lots on Northern Pacific railroad lands
from them that they do so ut their own risk.
This is nice state Of affairs for those who
bought lots. Mr.. Ed. Stone, agent Of the
Company, did, on behalf Of the Railroad
Company, enter into at least the prelimina-
ries Of the contract with Howell and Baker
in February, IL was recorded in Missoula and
Published, and the Belknap Town Company
proceeded to sell all the lots 1t could at good
prices. Now In April comes the Northern
Pacific Company, and from the fact, - Is
presumed, that the higher authorities Of the
Company did not ratify the action Of agent
Stone, the transaction Is wholly repLdiatsd.
Tho purchasers of town lots there situated
on railroad land are left in rather real
estatelsss condition, unless the Town Site
Company will purchase the titles from the
Railroad Company and make them over to
purchasers, which il an improbable result.
except under legal compulsion, - Msssrs.
Howell & Baker doubtless understood they
had = contract with the Railroad Co. 1t
looks very much as though lot purchasers
would get the worst Of this deal.

"THE HIDDEN HAND"
whiteIsy's Original Company, Friday Even
ing Next.

Mr.. w. X. Peck, general agent Of the
above company, yesterday billed Deer Lodge
fer one entertainment 1t Maguire's Opera
House, on which occasion will be presented
. dramatization Of Mrs. Southworth's great
Southern story, "The Hidden Hand" Pre-
scented to the public through the New York
Ledger % or 30 years ago, when that paper
was at the zenith Of its fame in an almost
uncontested field, it was read almost As uni
versally as Uncle Toms Cabin, and had 1t
not been for the political character Of the
latter would have made As lasting an impress
sion. 1t is one Of the most attractive South
srn stories and susceptible with Cdpitoid, Sir
Hurricane and Wool of brilliant dramatiza-
ton. This whiteley claims TO have, and q
twenty months tour of the South TO crowded
business afirms it. The company Is OF full
strength to present the piece and carries its
own complete scenery. Miss Fannie Fran
els, capital soubrette, is starred for Capt
tola, and Mr.. Rob. v. Ferguson, the come
dian, for Wool. As specially Miss Emma
Clark Brace Is Pianist, and her playing Is
mentioned as q leading attraction in the
cities where she has appeared. The compa-
ny transports her piano and she transports
the audience. Tickets are On sale at O'NeilPs
and 1t will be worth while in this case to re-
serve seats early.

THE FAIR AND BALL,
A Delightful Festival and Party mt the
Pavilion.

Pavilion.
The ladies Of the Episcopal church, who
recently determined to have Festival sea.
sen this week at the Pavilion, succeeded
even beyond expectations in the very at.
tractive manner in which the Pavilion was
decorated, in the elegant quality of fancy
work contributed, in the splendid edible en-.
tertainment spread before guests, in the
social success of the party, and, If we mis-
take not, were more than gratified with the
financial result
The Festival on Tuesday evening included
the exhibition of the fancy work, supper,
music and thu sale Of articles, the cornet
band enlivening the occasion with some of
their choice selections.
Our reporter obtained the following as the
list of ladies whose labors contributed so
largely to the result:
General Manager, Mrs. Il. L. Davis.
General Ticket Agent, Mrs. o. ByOBannon.
In charge Of Dining-room, Mrs. s. Scott.
The following ladies were in charge Of
DINING TABLES Mrs. Z. s. Stackpols,

There was very elegant display of needle
work, hand painting and decorative articles,
which were disposed of by Mr.. j. A. Farms
worth at auction. The finest piece of work
was a crazy quilt, the several blocks being
contributed by Mrs. o. b. O'Bannon, Mrs.
H. Fl. Zenor, Mrs. VIM. Coleman, Mrs. Geo
s. Miller, Mrs. f. S. Stackpole, Mrs. R. H.
Hereford, Mrs. Sallie B. Mills, Mrs. J. A.

Slater, Miss Flora Farnsworth, and Miss
Fannie Hart. 1t was put together, edged
with silk plush and lined with satin, by Mrs.
II. L. Davis The blocks are splendid speci-
mems of needle work, and 1t attracted much
envious attention. The price placed on 1t
was $50, which would scarcely pay for the
raw material, and had it not been that "No
Lotteries" was the rule, 1t would have netted
a hundred or two dollars. As 1t was, a pool
Of $50 was made up, the quilt purchased for
that, and subsequently, rallied for by the pur-
chasers. Miss Nellie Withers drew the lucky
ticket for Mrs. James II. Mills.
The Kate Gresnaway Party at the Rink
Wednesday night was delightful occasion
to all participants, and the costumes were
superb. Kramsr's Band furnished the mu-
sic, and the supper was all that could be de-
sired. The dancing continued until .. m.
The gross receipts Of the Festival and
Party were s455.25. The net proceeds are
for the benefit of st. James church fund.

Custer County Finances.
Yellowstone Journal.

The financial statement Of Custer county
for the year ending Feb. q, 1888, a. published
last evening shows q net indebtedness at that
date Of $3.50 ,0ol.o4, an increase of 25,35114.
1t is believed, however, that the bulk Of this
increase Is attributable to mass of unsettled
business left by the old board, which the
new board had to adjust and which should
properly have been included in last years
statement. From the amount of the present
indebtedness should be deducted some $780,
900 due from Yellowstone county, and about
5000 due from Dawson county, leaving the
net balance about s197 900, which is not .
back-breaking load providing 1t can be
funded in long term bonds. Next year, with
increased resources and diminished expen ses,
We will be able to make . much better show
