The Death of Davis.

We mentioned recently the finding of the
body of man named Davis in his cabin at
the head of Washington Gulch. Later adj
vices, including letter from II. Thompson
to Harry Peterson, give the sequel. The
Coroner declining to go, committee of mi
ners consisting of FL Carman, William Hack
ney, Cornelius DAILY, Mathew Stewart, Marx
Easterley, John Heating, and Robt. Thomp-
son assumed the responsibility OF examining
and burying the body. The cause Of death
was without doubt the result of blast.
Some of his clothing, such as overalls and
shirt were found alongside of the bed on
which he lay, the forepart of them blown
away. The lower portion of the abdomen
was blown open, revealing the intestines.
Over the middle portion of the body the
blankets were thrown and were frozen fast
The breast and face were burned black.
Everything was undisturbed in the cabin.
A portion Of his pantaloons were on the
body and if he had any money it was in them
ami was burned with him as it would have
required the use of an axe to separate the
pants and blankets from the body. Further
mutilauon Of the body would have been in
human as we'll A. revolving. William Gall,
of Glendale, who had staked Davis arrived
and was present at the examination. The re-
mains were buried as dece ntly as circumstan-
ces would permit. From the above We infer
that the blast occurred, either accidentally or
purposely, while the man was in bed in his
cabin. He had been working quartz lead
short distance from it, and on first advices 1t
was supposed he had been injured while
mining, and had sought mis- cabin to die
The extent of his injuries, as developed by
the investig alton, dispels this hypothesis.

KENDALL COMEDY COMPANY.


Mr.. John A. Moak, business manager OF
the Kendall Com bination, was in town yes
terday, and the company was billed to APP
pear last evening, but were detained at Dill
lon by the snow blockade of the train. They
will play here tonight and tomorrow night.
This company consists of twenty members,
the strongest dramatic company in numbers
that has come to Montana, and it is said to
be as meritOrious rs numerous. The COM
pany has played for fifteen years on the IL
linos, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota
circuit, this being its first trip west of Chey-
enne. The repertoire includes Miss, Bellies
of Shannon, The Gilded Age, Rip Van
Wrinkle and Fanchon, from some of which,
we presume, the selection for Deer Lodge will
be made. The company has Brass Band
and a fine Orchestra Mr.. Moak assures us
the music Is first-class, and from an
extended complimentary notice in the
Wood Rirer Times, after the company had
played a week there, we are inclined to be-
lieve 1t is a company of rare excellence.
They carry all their own scenery and hire a
special car on the U. & N for its transporta-
ton. There is plenty of music in NJ 'liss, and
as it is comparatively new here, we hope to
see it put on tonight The company is
merely putting in dead time" here until it
can get into Butte, as it is too expensive an
organization for small halls but they will
have II tirst-class house to might, and another
TO morrow night, if the establishment is rs
good ~ anticipated. Reserved seats can be
had at Colemans.

Railroad Items.

The south bound Express train on the
Utah g. Northern struck cattle four miles
north of Dillon Tuesday evening. The
engine and two or more cars were ditched,
and the train was delayed some twelve
hours. The engine was badly wrecked.
The fireman on the engine and j. NJ. Davis,
express and baggage agent, were injured, but
we have not learned how seriously. This
makes five engines that we recollect of that
have been thrown from the track by cattle
bet Divide and Di lion in the past three
or four months Some of the damages were
ex pensive and several men have been in
iured. Wouldn't il be economy to fence the
road at exposed points?
The north bound Express stuck In the snow
at High Bridge, Idaho, south of Beaver
Canon, Wednesday night, and up to noon
Yesterday had not succeeded in getting
through It, The snow fall in this part OF
Montana was insignificant.
Two freight trains now run daily each way
between Butte and Garrison, making the
trim in about four hours. Each train has a
comfortable caboose car for passengers The
trains going south pass Deer Lodge at p. IN.
and D. m, and going north at p IN. and

A wife named George, who enjoys ex-

self the other day in ditch containing only

What One Woman Can Do.

The Bozeman Chronicle of the 10Th inst
says Yesterday, during the absence Of Mr..
Huffine from home, his house caught on fire.
1t seems that the fue is meant to receive a
six-inch pipe, whereas but five-inch is used,
and fire communicated to box containing
rags and soon reached the roof. No one was
a: home but Mrs. Huffine and the children,
who were of no assistance. Water had to be
carried about ten rods, but with almost
superhuman efforts, Mrs. Huffine commended
with the fire from II o'clock in the morning
until about in the afternoon. No less than
twelve holes were burned in the roof. No
sooner was one put out than another started,
but by persistence and energy and bravery
the fire at last yielded to her efforts; but she
was completely exhausted ut the end. Mr..
Huffne says that he would have given up
the contest; but this brave woman would not
yield, and by her efforts saved their home
from utter destruction.

WEST DEER LODGE, MONTANA, FRIDAY, MARCH 1884,
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
Election of omcers for the Department of
Utah.

Utah, Idaho and Montana are now united
in one department Of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and it is known as the Department
of Utah. The annual Department Encamp-
ment was held at Salt Lake City, March 14th
and 18th, 1884, and the following officers
elected for the ensuing year:
Department ommandsr-Rainsford Smith
of John A Dix Post, Ogden.
Senior Vice Commander-E. Sells, of J. b.
Mexican Post, Salt Lake.
Junior Vice Commander-E. J. Jeania-
auet of Mcpherson Post, Salmon City,
Idaho.
Medical Director-M. VI. Bane, of J. B.
Mexican Post
Chaplain-Rev. T. Z. Tiff, of j. B. Mexican
Post
Council Of Administrations. 4. Hudson,
of John A. Dix Post; Chas. S. Warren, OF
Lincoln Post, Butte w. w. Woods, of J. b.
Mexican Post: S. B. Stephens, of John A.
Dix Post; o. T. Redsull, of James A. Gar
field Post Bellevue, Idaho.
Representative to National Encampment-
General Fred. Salmon, of James B. Mexican
Post. Alternate-F. N. Bishop, of James b
Mexican Post.
1t docs not appear that any representatives
were present from Montana Posts, although
1t was designed there should be arepresenta-
ton, at least from Butte and Deer Lodge, If
the Encampment could be deferred until
April. The department Is so large, however,
that it makes the cost too great for general
representation of all the posts; and this, with
the rapidly growing strength of the command
in NJ Montana, leads to the belief that within a
lew months Montana will be established as a
separate department Such course, ena-
bling speedier transaction of business with
department headquarters, within easier dis
lance, would greatly encourage the growth
and prosperity of the association in Mon
tana, where there are now certainly enough
old soldiers to have pleasant reunions.
