President John w. Garrett, of the
B. & o. Railroad, died at Deer Park,
Nd, on Friday morning last. in the
Goth year of his age. He had been
prominently identified with the B. &

served as President continuously since
1858, building up in the most sub
stantial manner one of the most pow
erful and successful railroads of the
country lie had hosts of friends,
and his death is matter of general
regret, especially in Baltimore, where
the benefits derived from his great
road were most extremely felt. All
the B. & o. depots are draped in
mourning in respect to his memory.

A Tornado.

CHICAGO, April ga Times Nun
Gle, lnd., special says: The cyclone
which destroyed Oakville day before
yesterday vas more extensive than
at first reported. Instead of devastat-
ing a distance of ten miles, it is
learned that its track extended 20
miles and swept everything before 1t
There were numerous other casual
ties. but as far as heard no additional
fatalities have been reported. Tur-
ner johnson, a boy Of Oakvllle whose
skull was crushed, died to-day, and
jeff Hoover cannot live. The loss in
the county outside of Oakville is es-
timated at $4,000. 4 report is re-
ceived Of Is farmers whose houses
and barns, mostly good ones, were
destroyed and them and their fami-
lies injured, some seriously. One
farmer had IS acres of fine grain
blown down. Farm implements
along the entire track of the storm
were blown into s%plinters. Lossits-
vile, a few miles east, is reported Ut
terly destroyed and a few persons
killed; no particulars. In all this
section the roads through the wood
lands were absolutely impossible till
axe men had cleared the way and it
is extremely difficult to travel through
those parts except on foot. Farmers
in this section have lost crops during
the past two years and are in a very
bad condition to stand this disaster.
The homeless onesa are being sheltered
by those fortunate enough to be out

lief is already coming.

CHESS
A Match Game ARRANGED Among
Noted Players.

Chess is said to be the king of all
games, and probably Is; and Butte
boasts of .ome of the best players in
the Territory. DR.. Labrie stands at
the head of the list, but DR.. Holmes,
John Noyes, Colonel Estes and sew
eral others make a close call for the
second place. O. B. O'Bannon, OF
Deer Lodge, a fair amateur rlayer, is
here and has had several tits with
our players with fair average success,
but frankly comedies to DR.. Labrie
the claim made by his friends that
he is the best chess player in the
Territory. However O'Bannon has
great faith in the strong points Of his
friend Noyes. There has been some
controversy on these points,
the net result OF, which Ia
that q match game has been ar
ranged, for a trifing stake, between
DR.. Labrie upon the M side, and
Messrs. Noyes and O'Rannon on the
other, the latter two to consult at q
separate table and report their moves.
A number Of small wagers has been
made and chess amateurs manifest
great interest in the result. The
games will be played at the rooms Of
George w. Newkirk. and will begin
at 3:3Op. m, sharp, to. day.

CINCINNATI, April 4.-The arst
sentencing of prisoners since the riot,
took place to-day in Judge Johnson's
court. Belle Osborn, (colored) con-
yicted of shooting with intent to
kill received seven years. She
begged most piteously when the sem
tence was announced and the judge
began to say that as this was a
woman he would modify the sentence
when the prosecution inter-
pose a vigorous protest saying
this woman had been before
criminal courts again and again. AID
something must be done to relieve
the courts, if for no other purpose.
The judge permitted the sentence to
remain in force. The only other case
where the crime was homicide was
that of John Murtah, who pleaded
guilty to manslaughter. 1t appeared
that he struck q man with his fist and
the plea was accepted and a sentence
of Ave years given.

PLAIN WORDS.
~ Has Something More to
Say.
. BUTTE, April 3, 1884.

Editor Mner:
The Inter fountain Of last evening
said Most of the kickers are dead.
They should now be decently in
terred." That means that seven
eightbs Of the Republican party of
Silver Bow county should be buried.
For, at least that proportion of the
party 10 "kicking" against the Cros-
BY ring on this side of the range.
If the "kickers" are buried, the
rank and file Of the party will be
found under ground. The ''kick.
ers" are those who will not
tamely submit to wear the collar of
Boss Crosby" o r as he Is sometimes
called Pasha Crosby. They have a
mind of their own. They will not
be led by the nose by Crosby or any
body else. They were in the Terri.
tory and voted the Republican ticket
before Crosby knew there was such q
place as Montana.
The situation, Mr.. Editor, is just
this: The majority of the Republican
party Of this county, the rank
and file, the voting strength,
the ones depended upon to
carry the ticket are not
in accord with the "bosses."
| They think it is about time they
should have something to say. And
| they are going to say it, and say it
| out loud. And it the Inter Mountain
can hurry then, before they have their
say it will have to get up early in the
morning.
The Republican Central Commit
| tee has issued a call for primaries.
The primaries are to be held between
| the hours of IL o'clock a. m. and 2
o'clock p. m. of the 10th inst. Now
sir, who ever heard of a primary he
ing held at those hours. No
one. Do you know the
object of calling q primary
meeting at that timer Well I'll tell
you. II is to keep the laboring men
the men who carry their dinner in
their tin buckets-from voting. It l.
to throw the election of delegates to
the Territorial Convention into the
hands of the bosses. Why didn't the
committee appoint the usual hours
from 3 to 8 o'clock in the. afternoon
for the primaries? Because they
know the wOrkingmen would be on
hand after 8 O'clock and thew don't
want them. They want to carry the
election for Boss Crosby, and
to do this the masses of the Republi-
can party must be DISTINGUISHED.
Do you see the point? 1t won't
work. Mr.. Editor. The dudes and
nincompoops and d~Og-collar Repub>
licans CAN'T make this game win if
the Republican workinRmen will
atand up for their rights.
They can outv0te the bosses
and shout make 1t q point
to do 40 this time. Even II they
called the primaries for IL O'Clock at
night they couldn't win. The work.
inemen Of the Republican party are
canning Oh the trail of the bosses
and don't you forget 1t.

Man ager Foster made no idle boast
when he advertised a first class va
riety entertainment would be given

talent in his troupe that would not
suffer in comparison with many COM
panies of larger p%retensions. The
FORESTS are superb in their spec
ialties and were repeatedly On.
cored by the enthusiastic au-
dience. The Hughes are excellent
and brought down the house by
their inimitaole oddities and pungent
Jokes. Miss Nellie Mahan has a
magnificent voice of great compass,
power and sweetness. She was
repeatedly called to the footlights.
The Misses Foster, Morrell and
Oxford each received generous plaud-
its from the large assemblage. The
troupe on the whole is one of the
best that has ever appeared in Butte.
