There is grocery store near the head
Of Main street which enjoys among its
patrons peculiar customer. This is
an cid lady who keeps small shop in
one Of the suburbs three or four miles
out, who buys her supplies regularly OF
the dealer in question, but who labors
under the drawback OF being an inveter-
ate thief. Each Saturday the old lady
comes into the store, and two clerks are
Immediately set apart for her behoof,
one to wait upon her, the other to
watch her; she invariably spends neat
little sum in replenishing her stock, and
she invariably tucks few small
articles, such as slzein of yarn or can
sof lemon sugar under her cloak as she
passes out. The dealer Is now debating
whether it is best to lose the customer
or the goods.

Somewhat of dilemma will face the

brought face to face with Mormon
proposition to raise funds by taxation
for educational purposes, they will
hardly know what to make of it; the
worst of tits too, that they are under

one of them would send his children to

a nice dilemma. Er ~ -s-A-S,. =. =
We suppose it will be answered
by some of the red shirted
alarmists down the street that the
Liberals would not send their children
to the school because of the Mormon
teachings inculcated therein. That
there should be any one sufficient OF an
ass to still insist on this exploded
yarn, u when the means exist in twenty
one districts in this city for proving the
utter falsity of it, is one OF the things
unaccountable. We have frequently
wondered if Governor Murray has not
often blushed for his action over the
University bill, since he has discovered
as he must have done, if he has had
curiosity enough to attend half days
session of the school-that the cry OF
religious teaching in the University was
all bosh and bugaboo

Clifford, who displayed the most sci

the battle we'll in hand. Bilson Jack
fought savagely, however, and re-

battle lasted an hour and fOrty-five

The Latest "Ooal Discovery"
Ayant Courier, April II.

AvAnt Courier, April II.
1t is reported, the truth Of which
the Couriv, however, does not in
tend to vouch for, that two citizens
of Bozeman, one prominent civil
engineer and the other a McBrayer,
and coal expert, started on a coal
prospecting tour to the Bridger noun
tains. Arriving at tho mouth of the
canyon, they procured q pick and
shovel, and going a few hundred rods
east, commenced prospecting for coal.
Soon they were rewarded by striking
what they deemed to be the clear
grit, and dropping their tools, forth
with found their way to the Record
er's Office, where they placed on file
their valuable discovery and coal
claims. Subsequent investigation by
other parties, of course, disclosed the
facts that their fiud was nothing
more nor less than charcoal from an
accidentally burned kiln of the for
est, and the claim filed on had al
ready been covered by M. Mountz Il
Co.'s filing. Such is life in the far
west during coal discovery excite
ment. Out of respect to the dis
e~overers" we forbear to give names.

A MINER KILLED..
Bartholomew Kelly killed by a
Cave.

One OF those unavoidable accidents
to which miners are frequently sub
jected overlook Bartholomew Kelly
In the Bell mine yesterday. He went
down to tile 400 foot level at l O'Clock
and proceeded to the face of the drift
to commence work. The level was
run In what was considered safe
ground and no apprehension was felt
as to Its cavlng. But 1t appears a
loose piece of rock in the roof of
the level fell As Kelly went
In and, striking him on the
head, caused immediate death. No
blame can be attached to anyone on
account of the unfortunate accident.
The foreman, MI. J. G. Kelly, Is an
experienced miner and had taken
every precautlon to avoid accidents
in the mine. But this was one no
human foresight could prevent. The
unfortunate man Is about 40 years Of
age. He is an Odd Fellow and a
member of the Miners Union and
will be buried by those orders at 2
o'clock this afternoon.

Judge Wade's Charge.
Benton Record.

Benton Record.
Judge Wade charged the Grand
Jury this morning; that is, he made
a political stump speech, in the
course of which he intimated that
gentlemen before him had been Sc.
lected by the county commissioners
with a special view to prevent a pos
sible indictment of the county Of
ficials. The judge graciously sugar.
coated this insult by stating that he
did not believe the nmo him
self, but it was nevertheless an
imputation that should be investi-
gated. It is beneath the dignity of
any judge to report barroom gossip
from the bench for the benefit of a
few sore-headed Republicans scam
dal-mongers. If the judge did not
believe the rumor there was no call
to insult the jury by repeating it. If
he had the slightest notion that
the report was true his duty
was to discharge the corrupted jury
and impanel a new one.
There were many other statements
made IN this remarkable charge, that
were entirely out of place and only
worthy of q political harangue to OBJ
tain votes at some future election,
but we have neither space nor incIl-
nation to review them at present.
They were principally repetitions of
barroom insinuatiOEs against the
county authorities which have been
too frequently ventilated in the Rec-
ord to require special mention now.

as stated by the Mayor being for the
purpose of taking action in regard to
the laying Of street crossings.

had. seen Mr.. Mcdonnell. whose
plans for street crossings the Council
proposed to adopt. in regard to the
matter. MI. Mcdonnell expressed q
willingness to superintend the lay
ing of the crossings at S. per day.
Alderman McCarty suggested that in
view of the limited means at the
command of the city that property
holders IN Main street be requested
to contribute towards the expense of
laying the crossings.
Mayor Whitford THOUGHT the sug-
eestlon q good one. He thought also
that 1t would be cheaper for the city
to furnish everything and lay them.
The grading could be done by the
city prisoners under the supervision
Of the Street Commissioner. He
thought they could be laid tor $50
each. the citv furnishing everything.
He suggested that four be now laid,
the places to be selected by the conn.,
mittee on streets and alleys and 9TH
ers IN. laid as the finances of the city
would permit.
Alderman Newkirk would cOm-
mence with eight crossings, which
at $50 apiece would amount to but
$3.50. Much of this money he thought
could be- raised by contributions from
prcpertv holders. He wanted to see
something done in this direction by
the present Council.
Alderman Pinkham said he q In
terviewed several property holders
who expressed q willingness to con-
tribute towards the ENTERPRISE.
Alderman Clark moved that Mr..
Mcdonnell he employed to superin-
tend the work of laying the street
crossings at the sum per day named,
and that the street commissioner De
instructed to commence the grading
with the city prisoners. G rried.

The Daniel SteinmRnn.

HALIFAX, April Is. - Captain
Scott, in his official report of the re-
suit of the inquiry into the loss of the
steamer Daniel Steinmann, says
Captain Schoonhoven made no Oh
servation the day of the disaster and
was therefore uncertain rs to his po-
sition. The night was dark, fogggy
and rainy, and it was highly impru-
dent under all circumstances to at
tempt to enter Port Halifax. It was
clearly his duty TO haul off shore till
able TO verify his position and obtain
a pilot. To these circumstance s alone
can be attributed the loss of a fine
ship and the lives of one hundred and
tW%enty-four persons.
