A Bold Robbery.

Last Sunday afternoon some enter
prising burglars made a successful
raid upon Roberts & Sons. furniture
and notion store on Main street. The
parties effected an entrance by break
Ing a pane OF glass out of the rear door
Md turning the key which was left
in the lock. They then went to the
front of the room and helped them
selves to what they wanted. Among
the articles taken were eight
watches, four fine revolvers and
two or three dozen rings. some
of these articles were IN a
show case near the font window In
plain view of passers by on the side
walk. The boldness of the robbery
Is equalled only by its success. NO
clue has yet been obtained OF the
thief or thieves. When such rob~
berries are committed in broad open
daylight on a densely crowded
th0roughfare, it is time the cabalistic
figures 3-7-7-7 should be seen.

Madisonian Mr.. N. C. Ray, en-
gineer-in-chief Of the Utah & North
ern National Park extension survey,
arrived in the city Saturday even~
ing, having completed his work to
Its objective point-Gallatin City.
Since the party started from China
Point, a line abovt go miles in length
has been run, much of 1t through
snow so deep that the surveyors could
make but little headway- sometimes
not more than half q mile per day.
MI. Ray informs US that the heaviest
grade encountered was So feet to the
mile. There is no indication, at pres
emit. that the company intends build
ing the line this year. 1t must be be-
gun quickly if it is intended to finish
it in time for the tourist travel to the
Park this season: but we seriously
doubt whether the company viii find
it ~ profitable to adopt the route sur-
veyed by MI. Ray, as the one through
the more populous valleys of the
Beaverhead, Ruby and Madison.
MI. Ray left for Dillon Thursday.

Candidate for Sheriff.

In Difference to the wishes Of
many of his friends among whom he
counts the most prominent political
and leading business men In Rutte,
Mr.. Henry Walton has concluded to
announce himself as a candidate for
sheriff, subject, of course, to the de-
cision of the county Democratic con-
vention. MI. Walton is an old~time
resident of the West Side and by his
uniformly courteous demeanor and
strict and exemplary business habits
he has made an army of friends
among all classes of our people. He
has never asked for an office, but has
always been foremost in
all efforts to advance the. interests
ofhis party by hard work or contri-
buttons. And now while he has
served in the harness for years and
been one of the wheel horses of the
Democratic car it is only by toe
earnest solicitation of his numerous
friends that he consents to run.
There will doubtless be other Dem
ocratic candidates in the field, but
we confidently predict that if MI.
Walton receive the nomination he
will lead his opponent by an over
whelming majority.

Pretty Badly Hurt.
Holena Herald.

Secretary Tooker Is still suffering
from the effects of the railway acct
dent in Dakota last month. He re-
ceived severe injuries about the back
and breast, a swelling below the
right lung being now the most
troublesome of the after-causes of
bruises and abrasions inflicted. In
the derailment eighteen persons were
more or less hurt. The car in which
Mr.. T'ooker was left the track and
landed upon its 70 If. The Secretary
was standing in the aisle at the mo-
m Mt of the accident and was pitched
headlong and with great violence up.
on the ceiling of the reversed car.
He received q spinal shock, and
pieces of cuticle as large as a mans
hand were torn from either side of
his backbone. He is mending slow
ly, but it will take weeks, perhaps
months, to bring him about to his
normal condition of health and
strength.

I'm tied States circuit courts. The
general laws of the State of Oregon
are declared to be the laws OF the dis.
trict as far as the same may he appli-
cable. Officers shall be appointed for
a term of four years and receive the
following salaries: Governor, 5000;

The next measure considered was
Townshend's BILL, providing that
hereafter no Territory shall frame a
constitution or apply for admission a
a State in the United States until 1t
contains q permanent population
equal to that required in q Congress
siOnal district in order to entitle rep
rest NATION in the House.
KassOn criticised the bill IS useless
aud in violation of the spirit Of
the constitution in that it denied to
the people OF the territories the right
of petition in its highest form.
Hardeman denied that tie bill
touched on the right of petition but it
merely said, in Justice to old States,
it would not give to the people Of tel
~ritOries q basis of representation
which old States did not have.
Cox favored the bill because 1t
would have a moral emphasis and
because it was nothing but a fair and
just restriction ON the right of pop
ular or s1uatter sovereignty.
Brents protested against the bill Is
working an injustice to the people OF
the territories.
Keifer opposed the bill as uncon~
stitutional.
Horn characterized it a. nothing
but buncOmbe.
Hammond thought it an unwise
and futile attempt by this Congress
to bind another.
Potter expressed himself against
the bill. It was, he thought. time
for Congress to announce that it was
the policy Of the country that the
people of the great States were no
longer to be Overridden by admitting
States on the frontier where they
had population insufficient to makea
respectable town in one of the older
States,
Townshend said the object Of the
bill vas to inform Territories that
until they attained their majority
they could not enter their inheri-
lance.
Hammond moved to lay the bill
on the table. Agreed to. 1O1 to Is,
Bills passed extending the juris-
diction of justices of the peace in
Wyoming and providing that here
after the legislature shall consist OF
twenty>four members of the council

All reports from Neihart, which
promises to be one of the best min
ing camps in Montana, are most
encouraging. The work of develop
ment is going forward on several
mines and they continue to main
tain their uniform strength or to i'm
prove as depth ls attained. In a few
days B. c. K~ingsbury's men will be
at work on the Queen of the Hills,
and then reports from the camp will
be looked forward to with interest.

bonders of the Mountain Chief.

property, and it Is showing up well.
This company proposes to put In a
mill, and it is said the machinery for
the same is already purchased and
on the way. Chamberlain 4 Bell
have contracted with the company
to furnish them 25 tons of ore a day
for a certain period from the Mon
tana Belle.
Some parties who recently arrived
in the camp purchased Is tons of the
Montana Belle and st. Julian ore for
shipment, and 1t is understood that
they will make q business of buying
ore in the camp for shipment east.
The Hudson Mining company have
selected q mill site at the junction OF
Carpenter creek with Belt, probably
the best mill site In the camp. as it is
convenient not only to the Neihart
mines, but also to those of Snow and
CARPENTER creeks.
