Editor Miner:
As diphthefia has been the dreed
Of the community for, some ,tims
past, your correspondent IL pleesed
to state that from presentappsar
| ances it IL subsiding. Mr. T4oual
stuart's fsmily-three in npmhel
afflicted with it-are rapidly i'm.
proving, and the attending physi.
clans express great hopes for their
recovery. Little Jimmy. aged Is,
and one Of the brightest boys Of this
community, died on the 10th instant.
He was the pride Of MI. Stqart,a
family, and of oouFse. his death IL
deeply mourned. not only by the
fond parents, but BY host Of friends.
In = recent issue Of the MINER It
was doubtless Inadvertently men
toned that it was the eldest
d lighter of Mr.. Stuart that had
died. I mention this to ,corre, t the
error. an error .nswsgatherers are
liable to wake.' Mr.. r. 8. ;Kelley's
family Is also doing nicely. Aside
from these two families I know Of No
other cases Of diphthefla in tho COM
munity.
But diphtheria fs not the only dis
ease prevailing In our midst. as I un-
: derstapd Mrs. James -McAndrewa is
, lust recovering fcm Z serious illness.
|, Two of her children are confined to
their rooms from less serious causes.
Ex-sherif McAndrsws is In business
at Anaconda. Mr.. Chris. &chroder,
the head clerk Of Kl. inschmidt Il
Co. g store here, has been absent from
his poat few days attending upon
his sick child, which has been, at-
ficted with membraneous Group.
While for q time It was feared that
Mr.. and Mrs. Schroeder might lose the
."pet Of the household" 1 am pleased
to be able to state that such
is not likely to be the case un-
less relapse takes place.
Henry Mcfarland, after q few
days confinement to his room from
rheumatism, is able again to do the
honors at the Western Brewery. Un-
Gle McQuestion, County Assessor
has been prostrated for some days
with complication Of diseases, not
ably inflammatory rheumatism. The
old gentleman has the best of atten-
ton and is on the improve. These I
believe include all the afflicted of
the community, and it is to be hoped
that by the lapse of another week,
Joe Bush can state that all are on the
well and improving list.
News has reached us that -Forbis
Irvine of this place and Miss Lou. !
Taylor were married at Columbia.
Missouri, on the Oath inst. Forb.
has captured q Missouri Jewel, and
all hereabouts wish the happy couple
a speedy and safe return to their fu-
ture home in Deer Lodge.
A card party was had ut the resi-
dence of Mrs. Judge Irvine last
evening. Those in attendance ex-
perieuced an enjoyable time. Messrs.
Stanley and McTague entertained
the guests with some choice vocal
and instrumental music. They inn
part life to . gathering Of this, kind. |
Mr.. John Straight, for long time
book-keeper at Kleinschmidt 4
Co.'S store here, has opened store at |
Garrison.
A man named Samuel Allison
passed through here the other day
'or Butte, direct for the new mines. |
He reported the trail from Trout |
Creek into the digginxs good, and
that the distance of about thirty-five |
miles could be walked in eighteen
hours. He said the trail was
lined daily with gold hunters going |
In.
A great many hereabouts contem-
