1t was certainly SO this time; for

we had to give it up in despair. The
thimble wasn't IN that room, and none of us
had left the room since it was seen on my

somebody had carried it off; and the same
thought flashed upon all of us at once. 1t

The members of the Masonic fraterni-
tv will rejoice to hear that Grand Master
Duncan has 80 far recovered from his
uainful accident of nearly three months
since as to be able to get around on
clutches.
II is fortunate thing in view of the
turn that affairs. have taken, that if Col.
Eaton's political aspirations are nipped
in the bud at the Territorial Republican
Convention, he can blossom out as q

Yesterday at the shooting match, after
the contest was over, one OF the ladies'
present, Mrs. Robinson took a gun and
made clean hit of one of the pigeons,
and if she shall conclude to contest for
the badge, Mr.. Benham will have to look
out for his laurels.
We are requested to announce that the
Republican Convention on Saturday will
be held at Spieth & Krugs' Hall, instead
of at the court house, as announced here

The. Famous "M0ther" Lode.

A correspondent writing from Eagle
City says: l have just seen the famous
Mother lode. It is a big boulder of
quartzite on the edge of the creek under
an overhanging mountain of slate. 1t is
without pitch, shape, strike, walls or
anything that goes to constitute the true
fissure and the area of exposure is only
about 5x10 feet. Next to what passes
for the hanging wall is very pretty dis
play of gold spatted over the quartz, but
it does not appear how deep it sinks into
the rock. Otherwise the quartzite is
barren to all appearances. It is owned
by two old men, and two good miners
could do more work in ten hours than
has yet been done on the property. The
old fellows stand there in the waters of
Pritchard Creek up to their waists, while
eager visitors almost swim to get a
glimpse at the tabled treasure. They
will have to swim in dead earnest when
the creek rises another foot. This Mo-
Their lode is the only thing in the quartz
line worth speaking of in this whole re-
gion as far as my observations have ex-
tended. have not yet seen any speci-
mems around here that a Montana pros
pector would tolerate around his cabin
Notwithstanding all this the country is
big enough to contain some good quartz
camps, and they may be struck yet, but
as far as this excitement is concerned it
is miserable fraud. All classes of busl-
ness men are sick and disguised, as
everything is overdone. Provisions are
cheaper than formerly but wages are
low. A very few weeks will now tell
the tale.-Helena Independent.

The Barkley Murder.

Helena Independent, of this morning,
has this to say about it:
"The evidence detailed before coroner
Fisk on Tuesday throws some additional
light upon the assassination of DR.. Bark
ley.
1t seems that Messrs. Dalgren, Vaug-
han, and hired man bv the name of
Pike had been at work Monday evening
upon their ditch, which taps Indisn
creek above the ditch Of DR.. Barley.
Their ditch carries the water around
upon the bars of Indian creek, and while
SO at work upon it Mr.. Vaughan and the
hired man acknowledge that they saw
DR.. Barley pass up the creek on the line
of his ditch, in his shirt sleeves, and
with shovel upon his shoulder. They
are the last persons who are known to
have seen him alive. The hired man
says that shortly afterwards he heard a
shot, but neither Mr.. Vaughan nor Mr..
Dalgren claims to have Heard it (the lat
ter claiming to have started to Bedford
before the shooting occurred). Messn.
Vaughan and Dalgren are the parties
with whom DIR. Barley was in litigation
at the time of his death. Their ditch
and dam were above his, and he claimed
diverted the water from his ditch below,
which was asserted to have the older
right.
Before he was shot, DR.. Barley had
reached the dam at the head of the ditch
and had thrown one or two shovels Of
dirt upon it. While in the act of throw
ing dirt upon his dam. it seems that
some one who had probably foilowned
him up the gulch shot him in the back
DR.. Barley was unarmed at the time
and was evidently expecting no trouble
At the time of the shooting he was upon
his own dam, of which he had been in
undisputed possession for years. He
was shot down by some cowardly assas-
sin while exercising lawful right of re.
pairing his own property. We cannot
conceive of a more dastardly act than
thus to murder an unarmed man while
engaged in work upon his own pro.
perty, not even giving him chance fol
his life.

Ancient Order OF Providers.

Through the fundamentally of Mr..
Gus Meyer, whom many will remember
as q barber at this place some months
ago, very comic, yet beneficial order
was organized in Townsend some two
weeks ago, known a. the "Ancient Order
of Providers" There are about twenty
members in good standing and some ten
or twelve to initiate on Saturday even
ing. Some of the leading men of the
town are prominent workers. The most
pleasing feature is the initiation of MEM
bers, which causes the whole valley to
turn out to partake of the festivities of
the occasion. In initiating a member,
he is compelled to stand on his head in a
barrel, sit on the end of slanting plank
and thrown skyward, and several other
very laughable performances. They
propose not to be outdone by Peck's Bad
Bow.

Clay Pigeon Shooting.

Yesterday the Bozeman Rod and Gun
Club had another shoot. The evening
was nice and the prize to be contested
for, brought out large number of shoot
ers and quite a number of spectators.
The prize heretofore spoken Of was con-
tended for. Below is the score, from
which it will be seen that Mr.. Benham
secured the prize by clean score. 1t is
but fair to say that some of our best
shooters were in bad form, while others
who are good shots, did not participate
at all. We shall be mistaken if some
one does not wrest the medal from MIR.
Benham. The second prize, the leather
medal, is now worn by Mr.. lines. and
unless he improves no one can even ac-
cidentally beat him.

MURDER NEAR TOWNSEND.
DR.. II. B. Barley Found Dead from the
Hands OF an Assassin.

Yesterday morning Mr.. H. Raymond
brought news to Townsend that he had
found the body of DR.. H. B. Barley
about eight miles west of Townsend,
pierced by a bullet which must have
caused instantaneous death. No cause
has yet been assigned for the deed, nor
have we az yet any further particulars.
The doctor had host of friends and like
all men Of pronounced character had
many enemies, and has had many quar-
rels and lawsuits heretofore over proper
ty interests. The body was lying unmo-
Tested, which shows that the murder was
not for plumber as he had money and
other yaluables on his person. but must
have been from the result of some bad
blood existing between him and perhaps
some Of his neighbors. We shall look
for further investigation in this matter
with some interest.
P.S.@Since the above was written we
hear that man has been arrested, but
we could not learn the name, but it was
some one with whom DR.. Barley had q
suit in reference to some ditch property
on Indian creek. This confirms our sur
mise as above stated, that the murderer
was some one with whom the doctor had
. quarrel.

Desert Land and Tree Culture.

1t may not be generally known that
commissioners were appointed last Au.
gust by Secretary Teller to 60 out into the
territories and examine the workings Of
the desert land and tree culture acts, and
large majority of these reports were in
favor of the repeal. The bill presented
to congress for the repeal of both these
acts has been fayorably reported by the
committee. Should this legislation effect
the repeal of the desert land law, it will
be detrimental to the cultivation and
improvement Of that great body of bench
land in Montana that can only be made
productive by irrigation. This area Of
agricultural land cannot be made fruitful
by individual enterprise, and needs to be
brought under cultivation by means Of
ditch companies, that have reclaimed
such vast quantities of land in Colorado
and elsewhere, where large sums have
been expended and vast fortunes made
by the projectors Of these schemes.
There is no finer field for investment to-
day than in the rich table lands of Mon
tana, and in the ditch companies that
are incorporated under the liberal pro-
visions of our statutes for their reclama-
tiOn.-Independent.

Trying to Capture Cuba.

An expedition composed Of twenty
seven men, with arms in their hands and
their hip-pockets, sailed away from Key
West the other day to capture Cuba.
They have already effected landing,
and the next we shall probably hear
from them is that they have been cap
tured and shot.
Perhaps this small mob of adventures
may induce a few enthusiastic patriots
in Cuba to join them, but their enterprise
must end in failure. The Seem Of the
Antilles" cannot be wrested from the
crown Of Spain by any such desperate
movement. That island has witnessed
more than one formidable rebellion, but
in every case the power of the govern
ment has proved to great for the insur-
rectionists.
If the United States government should
ever reach out its hand for the prize the
latter would instantly drop into our pos
session. But this country does not want
Cuba or Mexico or any other semi-tropi-
cal land peopled with Spaniards and half
breeds. Alien in race as well as in GUS
tom and opinions from the great mass of
the American people,, they would as
suredly in very few years becomes a
disturbing element in our population.
When the American people get hun
cry for more possessions we have land
and people north of us who understand
and sympathize with us and our institu-
tions. At present, how ever, we have all
the territory and population we need.
