The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1884-05-07
From Thursday's Daily.)

j. S00Ik0y, SuO1sVS VI VIC ~. / H. n.
spent I pleasant day yesterday in max
ing new acquaintances with Boseman
business men.
Alex. Campbell . vetran miner from
Chico yesterday, partook of the good
things of this life at Phil. Skeens bounti.
fully spread table.
8. C. McGiloora, Northern Pacific
agent at Cinnabar, came over the range
yesterday to inspect . first-class flourish
ing city. He says she is daisy.
News come from the West Gallatin
that fourteen horses have been stolen,
and farmers in that vicirity are out on
the war-path searching for the thieves.
OBJ. o. Bsnnon, delegate from Deer
Lodge, dropped in to our sanctium this
afternoon to say that Edmunds would be
the winning horse in to-morows Free
to- all race"
Harrison Spaulding, the gentlemanly
editor of the Missoula Times, dropped
into our sanctum this afternoon, and ex-
pressed himself as being charmed with
our beautiful city and her Lospitable peo-
pie.
The ladies' of the M. E. Church will
have pound social, and will serve re-
freshments in the vacant building east
of Ellis & Browns, Friday evening, May
End. A cordial invitation is extended to
all.
We notice by the Miles City papers
that Banker Story has been spending q
few days in their city, relieving their
stringent money market by the circula-
ton of q few thousands of Bozeman's
yellow boys" in purchasing some blood
ed horses.
In our weekly issue of this week will
be found an interesting advertisement of
Bennett Bros, of Townsend, Montana.
Mr.. C. C. Ray has charge of their machin-
cry hall at that place, and is now ready
to supply all farmers in his vicinity with
farm machinery, wagons, buggies, etc., at
prices which defy competition. Mr.. Ray
is typical western rustler, and we pre-
dict for him unprecedented heavy sales
for the season of 1884. Mr.. w. w. Hub
bard will in q few days canvass this val
ley in the interests of this firm.
There appears to be trouble in the
camp of the omnibus and transfer frater-
nifty. C. w. Fletcher threw firebrand
into their midst by announcing at the
depot yesterday afternoon that he offered
a free ride to all who wished it in prefer
ence to paying the regulation price, fifty
cents. He of course won large patron
age, and this 80 incensed his rival that
he gave vent to his lacerated feelings in
language more forcible than classic.
Fletcher wound up the little drama by
having his oratorical assailant arrested
and fined.
The worthy proprietor of the Courier,
possesses the brains and ability to strike
heavy blows in the cause of Bozeman
and the Gallatin valley. If he will only
stick to that policy and let personalities
60 he will certainly win more laurels.
The editor of the Courier gets off his
customary little sling in an item headed
"Over the hills to the poor house" We
hardly think it worthy of reply. The
interests of Bozeman that do command
journalistic attention are sufficiently
numerous to consume all our time and to
put q stop to the petty jealosies and per-
sonal animosiites which constant mud
slinging is sure to engender.
Delegates Maginnis and Raymond, Of
Montana and Dakota, respectively, are
working to secure an appropriation of
81, 100000 for the improvement of the
Missouri river from its mouth to the
head of navigation below Benton, with
slice for the Yellowstone from Buford to
Glendive. They are working for gross
appropriation, leaving the distribu-
ton to the secretary of war
The improvement of the upper Mis-
souri, above Bismarck is Of the utmost
importance as it is the only outlet for a
large stretch of country which is very
rich in resources and on the eve of a
rapid development.
The Marquis de Mores, who passed
through Bozeman yesterday on his way
to Miles City is q resident of st. Paul,
with an establishment complete to the
extent of . French cook. De Mores is
into his beef-freezing venture largely for
pastime, and to some extent for money.
But as he has $3.50 coming in every
year that he cannot touch, money cuts a
