is on its last legs.

Frosted noses and nipped "toses''
are now i'm order
The Missouri is now frozen over
so that teams and loaded wagons can
safely cross.
The sounder marks about six
inches of snoA--morc than we had ut
any time last winter.
Tom Phillips froze one Of his
hands Christmas eve while hitching up
cutters, &c, bare handed.
A man is reported frozen to death
near Blunt the first of the week, but we
have not learned particulars.
The weather has become trying
on the coal pile, while the coal pile is
pretty tough ON the pocket-book.
-Ex- Com G. j. Millctt frosted his
nose and cheeks coming from his home
on the river to Clifton, Tuesday.
j. A. Thrams, residing about five
miles north of town, frosted his face
quite seriously the first of the week.
Ed. Hoag and w. G. Welscher, a
couple of prints " from Pierre, are
in town, to-day, on final proof business.
Get your good resolutions ready
and prepare to turn over new leaf
in the book of life the first of January.
An occasional cutter and sleigh is
seen on our streets, though there is
usually so little snow and the wheeling
so fine that but few of our people are
provided with these kinds of turnouts.
Operations i'm the building line
have been suspended at Fort Sully un-
til spring, when several substantial
structures will be erected. 1t seems TO
he the design of the Government to
make this one of the finest posts in the
West.
Tom Phillips has had two run-a-
ways this week. Christmas eve his
gray mare dragged him around over
the prairie, using him for now-plow.
When she got through with him he
would have made hrst-class Santa
Claus. On Friday his mules skipped
away with load of hay and busted up
a wagon somewhat.

Christmas Festivities In Clifton and
Vicinity.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Christmas entertainment announced TO
take place at the Christian College at
Clifton Christmas eve had been given
up and only revived during the day
preceding, and the further fact that
mercury registered between 30 and 40
below zero, the occasion proved very
pleasant and entertaining. 1t was held
In the basement Of the College, which
was found cosy and comfortable. Be
tween so and 10 participated and made
it right 4" Merry Christmas in de-
fiance of the Ice King who ruled with
such chilly sway outside.
Several songs were finely rendered
by Mrs. DR.. q. Il. Vesey, DR.. Vesey,
Mrs. Roscoe Stinson, Miss Ida Kenny,
little Mamie Rickert. and others, and a
number of well delivered recitations
listened to witt, pleasure from the pu-
pills of Mrs. v. NJ. McFall's school.
Old Santa Claus, in the person Of
Mr. keiser, then made an appearance
loaded with presents, some of them
quite valuable, which were distributed
promiscuously to little and big.
Oysters were them served to all who
desired, and were quite generally par
taken of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. 7. Black are entitled
to the thanks of all for their successful
effort to please and make everybody
happy and comfortable.
MIR. L. Haskin took three blg sleigh
loads of our towns-people out and re-
turned them, and, in behalf of those
who accepted this kind favor, we re-
turn him many thanks.

BIaine's-Sentlnel Libel Suit.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 18.-In the
district court this afternoon the at
torney for Mr.. Shoemaker filed a bill
of discovery in the Blaine-Sentinel
libel suit. The bill begins by citing
the fact OF Blaine bringing suit
against the Sentinel, repeating the
original complaint in the suit; and
the Sentinel answer, and tie accom-
panying interrOgatOries with the re-
Div of Blalne's attorney. The bill
then states that after filing the inter-
rogatories, Shoemaker's attorneys on
the 9th Of sept. moved the court for a
rule against Blaine to answer the
same within a specified time, to be
fixed by the court, which motion was
argued on Sept. 14th and Overruled.
The bill then goes on to say that
in order to sustain the defense in the
justification pleaded by Shoemaker
it will be necessary, and it is material,
for the orators to show and prove
that Blaine had illicit relations with
and seduced the person whom he at
forwards married; the result of said
intercourse being the birth Of a child
in about three months after said mar
rage. The bill goes on to Say that
the orators are informed and believe
that the marriage OF James G. Blaine
and Harriet StanwoOd occurred on or
about March %, 1851. in Pittsburg,
Penn; that the marriage was clandes-
timely arranged and secretly per-
formed and hastily accomplished.
That no license was issued by any
authority for such marriage, none
being required by the laws Of Penn
sylvania at that time; that no public
official record was made or kept for

After the Depred ators,

From the Yellowstone Journal We
learn that a system of mounted police
has beer organized by which the in
terests of the stock men will be pro-
tected against horse thieves and grass
burners, whichever they may lie,
whites or Indians. The parties are
out north and south; the south party
consisting Of nine men and having
charge of the southern range of the
Eastern Montana Association with
headquarters about the centre of the
district on Tongue river. The men,
bers patrol the country each day and
report ut night when they can, at the
rendevouz. They will not have as
much chance to arrest the renegade
grass burners as a portion
of them have gone back to the Pine
Ridge agency. They secured a lot of
game along Powder river before they
left. Three of them have brought
lightweight deer skins in to the post
traders at Fort Keogh and one party
secured ten buffalo out of a herd
that they found. The loss of the
game taken by the renegades will be
felt by the Cheyennes who have
here steadily.

Runaways.

On Wednesday of this week Deputy
Sheriff Lytle was sent over to
GEORGETOWN on official business. He
went by rail to Anaconda. There he
hired a team and buggy to go the
rest of the way. When he was about
fifteen miles out from Anaconda he
gotout to see if the buggy could safely
get over a bad place in the road. He
had hardly gotten out when the team
started. He caught the lines, but
the buggy struck and knocked him
down. In less than two minutes
there was not q piece of wood about
the buggy that was not the worse for
wear. The cushions and a few bolts
were the only things about the buggy
not hurt.
Yesterday one of the job teams of
Chapman & Co.'s took a little spin
of it's own. The driver, so the report
comes, had hitched the team behind
the Nevada saloon and had gone to
dinner. While he was eating some
thing scared the team and it broke
loose and ran. It came out On Broad
way in good shape. 1t made first
rate time for q work team with a
heavy wagon and on a soft road, I'M
til it got to the corner of Main. A
difference of opinion between the
horses as to the better side OF the
electric light pole to run on resulted
in the sudden stopping of the team,
the smashing of the tongue, the
breaking of large street lamp aud
the displacement of the electric light
wires. No one hurt and the horses
not harmed.

The Fire Brigade.

The arrangements made at a meet
ing of the Fire Brigade a few weeks
ago to divide the brigade into three
companies and locate the hose carts
around at convenient points, has not
been carried into effect. 1t will be
done, however, as soon as the houses
are in suitable condition to receive the
apparatus. The doors have not been
hung for the hose room at the Pavll
ion. The hose carts are at present
all under roof but they are not con-
veniently distributed. The hook and
ladder truck is out of doors.
The fire brigade has ordered badges
for its members. The badges will
soon be here. This is a good idea,
and it would be well if the City Fire
Company would also get badges for
its members. At some fires that we
have had in Butte the loss by steal
ing and malicious destruction offurn-
iture has been as much as the loss by
fire. This can be in some measure
prevented in the future by stretching
ropes across the street and permitting
none but the firemen wearing badges
to come inside of them.
