Charley Ford, one of the brothers who
killed Jesse James, at St. Joseph, com.
mitted suicide at Richmond, Missouri
May 9th. Among the theories asserted
for the deed. are remorse and i'll health.
There will be a mile bicycle race at the
skating amphitheatre this evening, be-
tween Prot. Wilmot and Nm. NJ. hewitt,
Of Bozeman, for the championship Of
Montana. This will be an interesting
race and will no doubt bring out large
crowd.
Last night large crowd was again at
tracted to the skating rink to witness the
performance of Prof. Wilmot, at which
he performed some feats not introduced
the evening before. In justice to him We
will say, however, that he has not been
well since his arrival and last night was
DO dizzy that at one time he could not
mount for some time.
The little grandson of DR.. A. J. Hunter,
Of Hunters Springs, who has been dan
gerously i'll at the house of Mr.. Baker,
on Seven Mile, with dropsy, was operat-
ed upon by DR.. R. F. Clark, of Helena,
who last week drew from the little suf-
ferer six quarts of water, and yesterday
four quarts more. The little fellow, three
years old, is now out of danger.-Herald.
Hon. Emory Cobb, President Of the
Bozeman National Bank, who has been
spending few days among friends and
relatives, leaves to-day for the east and
Europe, where Mrs. Cobb now is. They
will return from Europe soon and the
gentleman promises to spend summer
in our glorious mountains, so that he can
see what delightful country Montana is.
Mr.. E. A. Hettinger, consignor for the
Centennial Gate, is in town and will
erect one of the gates in the brewery
yard, so that those who desire to see the
workings Of a frst-class farm gate can
call and examine it. This gate was shown
here last year by an impostor, who. from
some cause, could not make it work salts
factorily. Mr.. Hettinger will sell a
guaranteed right to the county and can
insure satisfaction. "The proof of the
pudding is in tasting it," and we would
advise our farmers to examine this gate
and see if it does not fulfill all require
ments.
In all his political battles Sanders. has
never voted for himself. He has deli
cate conception of right and wrong on
this point. But when the final vote was
taken at the convention Saturday, the
result of which would be the oft repeated
success of Sanders or his complete defeat
and humiliation, did Sanders vote for
himself As the vote began he happen
ed to be standing near Botkin. when the
latter took in the situation and, giving
Sanders nudge with his elbow, said:
Here, Sanders, you get out of this" The
old war horse "tumbled;" he took his hat
and hastily'left the room. When Lewis
and Clarke was called Botkin said in
clear voice, II cast two votes; one for
myself and one for an absent delegate"
That one vote elected Sanders-Missoula
Times.
We clip the following from the MIS-
soula County Times. Harrison Spaulding
the editor of that journal was here dur
ing the convention and saw for himself
what we have so often reiterated as
among the pressing needs of Bozeman:
Zone of the needs of Bozeman is large
and centrally located hotel. Had it this
it might hope to be honored
with frequent conventions, but with its
present accommodations we think it is a
mistake to call convention at that place.
The delegates were scattered right and
left, some in one end of the town and
some in the other, and then the accom-
modations were crowded. Bozeman's
location is reasonably central, and with
. large hotel it would be nice place for
holding conventions and meetings of inn
portant bodies"
