Pulford, the rustler, thinks of visiting
the Ceur d'Alene country.
We regret to learn the County Treas
urer Sloan is still confined to his house
by sickness, but hope he may soon be out
among his friends.
Bozeman's new police force are R. D.
Major and J. B. Willard. They have

Ifyou want to see Henry Ward Beech
er you must go to Brooklyn; if you want
to see finer weather than we are having
in Bozeman you will have to 60 to Italy
to find it.
DR.. P. F. Madden, of Helena, but who
has a large circle of acquaintance
throughout Montana died yesterday at
his Office on Broadway, Helena. He had
no family in this Territory, his wife hav-
ing gone to Canada several years ago.
Hon. A. J. Wright came over from Liv-
ingston yesterday, in the old fashioned
way, on the hurricane deck of cayuse.
He says the trip is perfectly delightful at

It is rumored in railroad circles that
the Northern Pacific machine shops now
at Livingston will be moved at no late
day to Bozeman. Among the reasons
assigned is that the high winds, almost
continually prevailing there. blow so
much sand and gravel that it is too wear
ing on the machinery. There can be no
doubt that they could be maintained
here at less expense. We give the rumor
at what it is worth, but we have heard it
several times and cannot forbear men
tioning it.
From a gentleman who has just arrived
from Sixteen Mile creek, we learn that
in his opinion Sixteen Mile creek will
vet prove to be o second BUTTE. Quite
an amount of prospecting is being done
and all indications point to rich and
prosperous mining camp. This only con-

who were not miners and consequently
have paid no attention. There are now
seventy-fve OF: eighty men engaged in
prospecting, and little village has
sprung up, containing four frame and four
log buildings.
The Leavitt Gigantean Minstrels were
greeted with good house last night and
fully merited the praise that it has elicit
ed elsewhere. The jokes of the end men
were sparkling and fresh and quite in
contrast with the old stale jokes so COM
mon. The singing was excellent. Mr.
Tyrrell's "Boy's best Friend is his Moth

Grey's Fisherman and his Child" and
Kellogg's Sailing the Seas" The Kline
Bros, in their banjo solo and bones, was
the best we ever saw. Heating and
Flynn, in their Rough and Tumble,
fairly convulsed the audience with
laughter. The comet solo of J. A. Cress

treat indeed; in fact the whole entertain

will be the farewell performance and i
we expect to get good talent to Bozeman
we should not fail to patronize them.
