Governor Crosby has gone to Chicago
10 attend the Republican National Con-
{ veation and Secretary Tooker is now the.
a3jng governor of Montana. Perhaps
6pme Of the ccnvicts had better try their
hands ON him for pardon.

F. A. Mitchell, an attorney from Chi
cago, arrived yesterday. He comes to
defend John D. Nicholas, charged with
the larceny of registered package of
money, when in the postal service of the
Uuited States, having the same in his
ofhcial capacity.
An interesting letter from Ashley D.
HaEger, written from this place to the
Chicago Times and which was intended
for publication in to-dav's paper, has been
unavoidably crowded out, as one of our
compositors was too unwell to work at
the case to-day.
Jack Morris, the Miles City cowboy,
who shot Iron Heart, May the Goth, q
Cheyenne chief has surrendered. He
claims selfdefense. The Indians threat
en- to take the warpath, and the women
/ and children are coming in from the
ranches in great alarm.
In justice to the Y. M. c. A. we will
sey that some members Of that institu-
ton had called 1t the Office to have the
correction made, that they were going to
bear the expense of the burial Of Joe
Woriey. They do not desire to claim
any more credit than is justly their due.
The Belknap muddle, alluded to in
dispatch from Butte to the Pioneer Press,
We are inclined to think is q canard, as
no mention of it has been made in our
Helena exchanges. The Belknap Town
and Improvement Company failed and
the bank closed, but we understand that
all depositon were paid.
A miners meeting at Eagle City, to
settle the ownership Of Q claim, ended in
confusion and q rev, pistols being drawn
but nobody getting shot. The trouble is
said to arise from the imperfect rules
passed ct the first organization of the
district. A meeting is to be held June
Sd to consider and perfect these rules.
The Inter Mountain says: At the fal
meeting Of the Butte racing association
which will begin August ed, the largest
purse ever hung up in Montana will be
contested for. The entrance fee will be
800, half forfeit, 81 500 added; entries to
close August Let. This will doubtless In
duce owners Of flyers to come from all
parts Of the west, and will insure sue
eessfdl meet.
The rain which has fallen in the last
twenty-four hours, and which has seemed
70 be general, has been q godsend to
farmers and stockmen, and to everybody |
in this section. We have not had such |
1 dry spring in years and crops were be-
ginning to suffer. In many places irnga-
ton had commenced; in fact some had
found in necessary in order to start the |
grain. This, however, comes in such an
opportune time as to remove any doubts
about the rapid growth.
The Witnesses ip attendance on the
grand jury are having "high jinks" at
the school house. They have organized
. convention, nominated candidate for
president and delegate in congress and
county officers, have resolved themselves
into grand jury and indicted everybody
in the county except those who ought
not to be indicted, and in various ways
are endeavoring to while away the time
until they are called into requisition.
We have not been near them, as we
understand that we were one of the
victims.
The agitation Of the question of bnild-
Ing additional rooms for the county clerk
seems to awaken good deal Of discus
sion and variety of opinions. Some do
not want it built, because they do not
zee the necessity for it; others. that the
county y not able to build it. To all
pch who think that it il not needed We
would say, pay . VISIT ITO the court house
and rec for yourself The county COM
missionen who make it their business to
inquire into the wants and needs of the
country, ny thst it is demanded as a
necessity and we presume they are good
Judges Of that. To those who think the |
county il too poor, we direct attention to
the financial statement of the county as
