Base Bail.

The Bozeman nine went down to
Three Forks and played draw game
with the Helena, Three Forks and sur
rounding country combination in the
best and most exciting game ever played
in Montana, and but for unacconntable
erroneous decisions of umpire our boys
would have won by the score Of to 3.
1t is to be regretted that the game ended
in dispute but such reverse decisions Of
the umpire could not longer Ike borne
and the result was drawn game, each
nine having an inning to play; and what
promised to be an interesting and close
game ended in a very unsatisfactory
manner. Brilliant playing was the order
of the day, Besserer and Jordan playing
without an error also hewitt. Burke.

Election or Public administrator.

Heretofore Public Administrators in
the several counties have been appoint
ell by the Probate Judges. In some IN
stances the position Of Administrator
has paid better than the JndseshiP and
the system has not proven satisfactory in
many instances. Therefore. at the last
legislative session, law was enacted the
main points Of which are as follows:
SEC. l. At the November election 1884,
at each alternate. year thereafter. Pub
lie Administrator shall be elected in each
county; his term to begin on the first
Monday of December following and con-
t,nue two wears, or until his successor is
elected and qualified. =.
SEC. ,. The duties and fees remain the
same as ut present.
SEC. ,. He shall take the oath and
give bond to the Territory, with two
sureties. in the sum of$1O,OOO.
SEC. 1. The Probate Judge may re-
qurre the Administrator to give such ad-
ditional bonds as may be necessary to Sc
cure the interests of estates, but not to
exceed the amount required by Law of
Administrators.
SEC. 5. On failure to give bond the
office shall he vacant, and, upon that or
vacancy occurring from any cause, the
Probate Judge shall appoint.
Under this law, county conventions
should make nominations for Public Ad-
ministrators in addition to the officers al
ready on the list.-New Northwest.

We have understood that many of the
farmers have been duped into subs crib
ing for Bancrofts History of the Pac ific
States, under the impression produced
upon their minds that they were buying
only one volume at a certain price for
the volume They signed contract,
and on a careful inspection they find
that they have subscribed for several
hundred dollars worth of the books, as
there are a number Of volumes. We
should advise them to call meeting of
those who have subscribed and notify
the publishers, Messrs. Bancroft 4 Co.,
that they will not take the books, so that
they will not send them. and thereby
incur the expense. Bancroft 4 Co. are
reliable publishers, and We do not think
would want to take any mean adj santages.
So far as they are concerned they are
honest in this transaction, and justice to
them would demand that they be in
formed Of the circumstances as soon as
possible, and not wait until they have
performed their part of the contract.
