The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1884-02-06

There is great deal of comment over
the quiet marriage of Frederick Douglass
to Miss Pitts No one seems to know
anything about it beyond the fact that
they made up their minds to get mar
rage.
4 keen woman correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune from New York denies
that Mrs. Langtry has bought house in
New York, and that she has ever intend
ed to make her home in this country
permanently.
Messrs. Cakes and Muir, Of the North
ern Pacific, are expected in st. Paul about
the 1st of February, where they will
make their headquarters, having con-
slant telegraphic communication with
President Harris.
G. S. Benham, who is six feet tall,
threatens to whip editor Dana, Of the
New York San, for saying he had fled
the city leaving 100000 liabilities. He
had only gone to San Francisco on we'd
ding trip, and forgot to take care of GER
tain mining stock contracts. Benham
has paid up everything.
The Madisonian CLOVIS with red-hot in
dignation at the attempt fthe Park syn
dictate to extend the railroad to the
Park. 1t thinks that the gall and cheek
of this party of free-booters Is only
equalled by their intentions to gobble
up everything in and around the park.
In Portland January 25, the case of
Wells-Fargo Vs. The Oregon Railroad &
Navigation Co., involving the right of
the former to send their express matter
in charge of their pursuers over the lines
of the latter, Judge Deadly Of the United
States circuit, court decided in favor of
Wells-Fargo. This decision will no doubt
effect the Northern Pacific Railroad and
be the means of giving Bozeman an op-
position express line.
Mr.. Crowell informs us that he has
gone into partnership with F. l.. Tanner,
a representative of the Jewell nursery,
and as soon as spring opens will begin
the nursery business. Three acres of his
fine ranch adjoining this city will be de-
voted to raising strawberries, raspberries,
mulberries, gooseberries and currents.
Mr.. Tanner is an experienced man in
this business and there is every reason
to believe that the firm will make the
business pay. Bozeman and vicinity
will be supplied with berries, also cut
tings and slips, seeds and plants.
In the letter from Attorney General
Brewster, notifying Judge Conger of the
removal of his suspension, that official
says that ''the president has reinstated
the Judge because there is no evidence
whatever laid before him showing any
want of integrity on your part, personal
or official" The Mddisonian says, chad
Judge Conger not rendered decision
adverse to the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, we should never have heard
of his derelictions. His pre-
sent term of office has nearly expired,
and he should at once be re-appointed.
The Mddisonidn is convinced that the re-
of Judge Conger would not
only be proper act of reparation of the
injuries which he has unj,lstly suffered;
but that it would subserve the best inter-
ests of the first judicial district"
Ex-Speaker keifer was examined the
other day by the house committee on
accounts. keifer was asked if he had
demanded the resignation of Tyson,
of the last congress. He
replied that some time during the first
session of the Fory-seventh Congress he
had given the position to Tyson; the
place was worth $1,000 per rannum at that
time; Gaines, nephew of the ex-speaker,
was then filling a $4,000 position, and
Keller said that when he appointed
Tyson he did it with the understanding
on his part that at some future time the
position would be vacated and Gaines
appointed. The ex-speaker testified that
his demand for the resignation near the
close of last session consisted of mere
reminder of the understanding between
the two when Tyson was appointed.
No matter what our politics may be,
no matter what Judge Conger has done,
We believe the majority Of people in this
section are glad to hear of his restoration
to office. Montana is sadly in need of
another judge. Judge Conger has no
doubt learned valuable lesson and will
make every effort possible to fill the high
position creditably. The Madisonian was
shown the letter from Attorney-Ge General
Brewster, notifying him that he had
been restored to his official duties with
all its emoluments, and concluding with
the gratifying statement that the exam
ination of the charges against him had
elected ''no evidence showing any want
Of integrity on his part, personal or
official" AS soon as the good news was
there was a general move
ment Of our citizens to congratulate the
worthy judge upon his vindication from
the outrageous assaults upon his good /
fame, and in less than one hour from the |
time the announcement was made, a |
large crowd Of citizens, headed by the
Virginia City band, appeared before the
Judges residence, and testified with |
music and lusty cheers their qualification
at the outcome of the investigation.
Three cheers and tiger" were success
sively given for Judge Conger and the
president, until the hills fairly echoed
back the shouts Of the delighted citizens.
If any doubt had ever existed in the
mind of the judge concerning the feelings
Of our people toward him as citizen, or
Of their condemnation of the unmanly |
persecution of which he has been the
victim, it must certainly have been dis
PEELED by the enthusiastic ovation which
he received. The cheers that went up
when he appeared upon the porch were
a hearty, spontaneous expression of re-
joicing that could not be mistaken. The |
Judge responded by inviting his visitors
