The Festive Cowboy.

A gentleman who returned home
from Montana Friday evening, tells
of an exciting incident which took
place at Pocatello. Idaho, on Thurs
day night. The Utah l. Northern
train had just arrived from the south
and the PASSENGERS had passed into
the Office o. the hotel, whec their at
tention was attracted by q cowboy in
the barro0m adjoining the Office,
abusing and threatening MIR. Keeney,
one of the proprietors of the hotel,
calling him all kinds of bad names
Mr.. Keeney was trying to put a stop
to the actions of the festive cowboy,
who was dressed in the favorite garb,
and loaded with the usual arsenal
equipments these cow-punch-
ers delight so much to display.
Two men stepped forward to dis
arm him. when be opened up by
knocking both down. cutting q large
cash In the head Of one with his re.
VOlver. In scuff1e which ensued,
in rolling over on the door, the re-
volver was discharged. creating q
panic in the crowd Of passengers, who
rushed to the dining room for safety.
Another shot was fired by him, miss
ing the person aimed at, and passing
through \ partition About this time
the Oregon Short Line train arrived
from the east, and w. III Homer,
sheriff Of Oneida county, stepped in
from the train in time TO arrest the
cowboy. but he got away, mounted
his horse and went skipping over the
I.rairie and was soon out of sight.
The passengers think it was a very
close Call fer them, and are not anx-
ious to have another COWBOY turn
loose In cr0wd.-Salt Lake Tribune,

Col. J. A. Johnston, J. K. Toole,
A. J. Davidson and Sheriff Gilpat-
rick, of Helena, and Sheriff J, J..
Healey, Of Fort Benton, who have
been taking in the sights in Butte
during the past two or three days,
left for home yesterday. All the gen
tlemen met an army of friends in
Butte, who are always most happy to
see them. The coincidence is little
singular, and we are compelled, as a
faithful chronicler of events, to re-
cord the fact that the police force OF
the city was increased by five mems
bers during the stay of the gentle
men here.
Last Monday the east bound North
ern Pacific passenger train had on
board seventy-six busted CBur d.
Alene miners. They had boarded
the train at Missoula. and although
they bad nothing with which to nay
they refused to leave thetrain and the
conductor thought it best not to COM
pei them to get off. So he telegraphed
the condition of affairs ahead to
Helena. and when the trian pulled in
y number of officers were awaiting its
arrival, ready to eject the intruders
forcibly If found necessary. But they
got off quietly and ut present are
rustling for something to eat. and
some way of earning q living.

Those Resolutions.

Al the Helena Republican conven-
ton to elect delegates to the Bozsma
convention, to be held to morrow,
Mr.. A. c. Botkin, chairman of the
committee on resolutions reported.
According to the Independent the
resolutions so reported endorsed the
administration of Pr sident Arthur,
except in the matter of appointing
strangers to Office in the Territories
for this, however, they found excuse
by reason of E. long line of precedents.
But" continued the resoiu ion, 'the
habit is essentially vicious and We
would not by this expression Of our
regard for the administration of the
President detract at all from the en-
phasis with which we have heretofore
placed on this custom the seal of our
deliberate condemnation" CAp>
plause ! A desire for harmony was
also expressed, and a determination
to resent all attempts at dictation.
[Applause.] In conclusion the reso.
lutioDs favored NJ. A. Meyendorf as
one of the two delegates to oe sent to
Chicago. On motion of w. F. San.
ders, the resolutions were adopted.

band. They also suggest that TO
facilitate the execution Of the puni-
tory provisions uf the law the depart
ment of justice should furnish a tund
to be specially applied to that purpose,
and that as the justices of peace in
Utah are nearly all mormOns it would
be wise to confer concurrent civil and
