and took in the situation and commanded
him to stop, announcing his official stand

of the Missouri, on the south side of the river, in Choteau county, Montana
1t is about ninety miles northeast of Helena, the capital, and forty-nVe nnes
southwest of Fort Benton, the head of navigation 0 the Missouri river. ne
beautiful Sun river mingles its waters with the Missouri at the upper ooh-
Diary of the townste, and these two broad valleys form att this point one OF me
most delightful spots in Montana. By a sharp turn OF the river, onhng te
town, a wide bay is formed, presenting a great expanse OF still water, Whch
adds not a little to the beauty of the scene. The town is distant about sixty
five miles from the main range ofthe Rockies, forty miles from the big Belt
mountains, twenty miles from the Little Belt mountains, and twenty-five
miles from the Highwood range. Its position is o the border OF thu great
coal region, extending from Smith river to Belt creek and covering a area
of att least $50 square miles.
HISTORY.--J J. Hill, of St. Paul, president of the Manitoba K. X. com
pay, and Paris Gibson, are the propnetors of the townste. The great avail
able water power afforded by the falls Of the Missouri, the beauty OF TIE loca-
ton and the varied resources of the country adjacent, naturally suggested the
building of town at this place. Title o the land was secured IN 1883, IN
Guiding not only that within the limits Of the townsite, but all the land fronting
the river, on both sides, from the upper to the lower falls, some 5000 acres
in all. This magnificent possession vas secured at a great expense, m is
to-day the largest and, unquesionaby, the most valuable contiguous body OF
land, owned by one firm, in Montana.

Logan's Grammar.


An old street-car driver in the west
division had been listening to two
men who were ridiculing Logan's
lack of scholarship until he boiled
over something like this: "Prob'ly
John Logan can't talk in er grammerly
manner Prob'ly he can't, but let me
tell yer ofone time when he did talk,
and it sounded good to every n that
heerd him, whether grammarly or not,
I dunno. We'd been peltin the rebs
afore Atlanta, and they'd pelted us until
I guess we both got tired-I know we
had. My hat had been shot off, and [
borrowed another from a friend of mine
who had dropped by my side. Pretty
soon they got some guns around on the
left and began whipsawing us. | seen
some OF u men flying ten foot in the
air, there want only rebs anywhere
around. / looked back for a minute to
see if there was a way out, when who'd
I see coming up, followed by about | Q 1000
blue coats, but John Logan. He didn't
have no hat on, and he was about fifty
yards in front Of the boys, and says he to
us when he came up: Fall back there
boys! Don't fire no more! Close up
and fall back and give us a chance!
We're a coming for 'em,- our souls!'
Now I spose maybe that want gram
merly, but an angel right from Heaven
couldn't have sung no sweeter words to
me just hen.'-Chicago Herald.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE sixth day OF
the races was attended by 10000 people.
The weather was cloudy and calm. The
principal attraction of the day was the
attempt of the famous black gelding,
Jay Eye See, to beat the trotting record
of Maud S., 2:1O4. The conditions be-
ing SO favorable it was generally sup
posed hat he would. He was first
warmed up, going on IN easy pace to the
three-quarter pole in 81 seconds. In
this heat he was accompanied by a run
ming horse driven to sulky 20 encourage
him.
The first heat it was announced would
only be a good strong mile with no at
tempt to beat the record. Time, 2:l944.
The second heat was scored at a high
rate of speed three times before Blithers
nodded for the word. The little black
fellow went away from the wire at won
derful speed and reached the furlong
post in 312 seconds, a 2:O5 gait; half
mile in 1:O3l. a 2:O65 gait; three-quarter
mile in 1861, at the rate Of 200. After
passing the seven-eighths post the flyer
slackened his speed very perceptibly
and finished the mile in 2:114, making
the last quarter at a speed Of 2:18.
The terrific speed to the half mile post
was too much for him SO early in the
season, not having had enough work to
harden him. It was freely predicted by
horsemen, in the light of his first half
mile, that before the season closed he
would beat 2:O9.
In the third heat no attempt was
made to beat the record. Time, 2:219.

How They Met.

me, ole Nassau
It was the hotel porter speaking to a
southern delegate en- route for Chicago.
The delegate was an elderly man, who
kept his sloutch hat on his head ever in
the sleeping car, and pronounced the
word s'heren as if there were a "y'' and
two syllables in it. He had failed to
recognize the porter, when the latter
made himself known. Twenty-Five
years ago they were master and slave.
Their greeting was as cordial as that be-
tween brothers. Sight of an old-time
face seemed to cause the porter's pro-
nunciation to relapse to the style Of the
plantation.

New Mexico, presided. Alarge number
of kilograms and letters from different
parts Of the country, making reports Of
Blaine and Logan movements, were

A Stately Farm.

Tt is said that Charles Goodnight owns
a farm or ranch on the Red river, in the
Panhandle or northwestern corner of
Texas, which contains 100000 acres, en-
closed with $50 miles Of wire fence.
Also, that he bought it for SO cents to 81
an acre. AS the whole state of Rhode
Island has a land surface of only 1885
square miles, or 694, 400 acres, this single
farm contains 5000 acres more than that
state, and one and three-quarter such
farms would nearly use up the land sur
face of the state Of Delaware, which
contains 1860 square miles, or 1,254,3 800
acres. But Texas, with its 262, 900
square miles ofland surface or 167, 1861, 600
acres, would supply about 24O of such
800, 900 acre farms.

Give Mr.. Craig Justice.

The following is from the Sun River
Sun:
J. r. Craig of the Oxley Ranch COM
pany, N. w. T., who purchased Hastie's
Rawlston's and Frank Farmers cattle
recently, has r%epudiated the bargain.
We understand he gave Ralston q draft
on I. G.. Baker & CO. for $4,000, HASTE
one for$1 900 and Farmer one for ST 900,
to bind the bargain. The drafts were
not honored when presented, and it APP
pears that the company had no credit
with Baker & Co. We have been un-
able to learn why the bargain was broken
The action of Mr.. Craig in the matter
does not appear quite honest, and the
boys have a clear case of damages against
him, or his company, if the facts in the
case are as we have learned.
A RIVER PRESS reporter made in
quiries at I. G.. Baker 81 Co.'S. Thursday
evening in regard to the matter when
the subject was presented in a different
light altogether.
Before leaving this city Mr.. Craig
purchased 1000 head of cattle from I. G.
Baker & Co. and he telegraphed the fact
to Lord Hill of England. He had in
structions to buy 1000 head, and before
receiving an answer from Mr.. Hill he
lClU " JllC 4ClOA u IICuC lAC PAlCInSOo
above mentioned. Meantime a telegram
came from Hill approving the first
purchase and %instructing Mr.. Craig to
stop buying.
Without a knowledge of these in
structions Mr.. Craig bought the Teton
herds and gave drafts on I. G.. Baker &
Co. for a small portion Of the purchase
price. When Messrs. Ralston, HASTE
and Farmer presented the drafts in this
city the circumstances were explained
to them, and payment deferred until
Mr.. Hill could be heard from. Baker &
Co. are confident that the purchase will
be approved and that in due course of
mail the money will be forthcoming.
An answer is daily expected.
While it has been no doubt a disap-
pointment to the gentlemen who sold
their cattle, it is only justice to Mr..
Craig to say that he acted in good faith
and that u faint of dishonesty does not
appear in the transaction.

Blalne's Views.

AUGUSTA, Me-, July 11.-Agentleman
who visited Blaine this evening reports
him as saying that he did not regard
the nomination of Cleveland as a strong
one. Cleveland was but little known
where several of the other men men
toned would have been more available.
He seemed perfectly satisfied with the
nominations and did not indicate by
word or look that they troubled him.
He impressed the belief that the tariff
issue woulir be paramount in the cam

LONDON, July 12.-The Daily News
says: Americas foreign relations will
be safer in CIeveland's hands than those
of Blaine. The latter represents the
lingo party, which, like the same party
here, makes up in audacity and volubil-
ity for lack of numbers. AS president,
Cleveland would cultivate quiet, broad
peace. If elected, he will be chosen on
the ground that he more worthily repre-
sents the good sense and studied moder-
alton Of the American people than
Blaine.

In and out of the burning building
he kept continually dashing, plotting
some halfdr1ssed man or woman down
stairs, only to return in search of
others.
Once lady with child in her
arms tripped on the stairs while ltir-

child was thrown on the floor of the
hall some distance away. The lady
regained her feet and staggered in n
dazed way out of the door, leaving
the child in the midst Of the smoke.
The brave dog saw the mishap, and
jumping in through smoke, which
was now becoming impossible, seiz-
ing the child by its night clothes
carried it safely out. Heck had al
ready brought the little one out, but
it had not been restored to its mother
Heck saw the frantic rush of the
mother toward the burning building
and sprang forward, and as a dozen
hands seized the woman and held her
back from her Insane attempt to enter
the house, disappeared with bound
over the burning threshold. The
faithful brute never appeared again.
His remains We're found in the ruins.
