The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1884-04-02

From Fridays Daily.
Fred 0chiplin, the manwho attempted
TO commit suicide few days ago, is still
alive and hopes are entertained of his re-
covery.
John Grannis has, we learn, been mar
ried at Los Angeles, California Leap
year, we presume, hasits advantages, and
John could not resist.
Coil land: claims are still being filed
ON every day and the prospects are that
this industry will yet overreach any In
the resources of Gallatin county.
The county prisoners are usefully en-
ployed shovelling the snow off the north
side of Main street, and our streets will
soon be dry ifsuch weather continues.
1t is said that quite number of lodges
of Missourians are on the way to Mon
tana, with view of settling in Gallatin
valley. We have plenty of room for
them.
1t is rumored around town that the
site of the Utah Northern railroad depot
has been selected in the western part OF
town; we have not been able to trace the
rumor to any reliable source.
Ben Fridley has been at last captured
in the meshes of matrimony by fair
California damsel, and is now on his way
home with his bride, and may be expect
ed within q week. ..
The personal property of E. G. Eddy,
who formerly kept saloon and eating
house at the depot, was sold to-day at
sherifrs sale, John Worth officiating as
auctioneer in very creditable manner.
The property, as rule. sold very low. I
Speaking of the proposed present Of
100000 to Carl Schultz, the st. Lolis
Globe Democrat is mean enough to say
"We are glad of this, but we think men.
could be found who would betray their
party and break . newspaper for half the.
money"
The widow of the late James G. Dow,
who was for a long time cashier of the
First National Bank of Bohemian, now de~
funct, died at New Rochelle, NY, on the.
9Th of this month. She formerly resided
at Helena, was Lldy of culture, and a
niece of Daniel Webster. - ~
The Directors of the Board Of Trade
held meeting last night, when consid-
erkbles business was transacted. 1 The,
various committees of tie Board will be.
announced at the next meeting, which,
we believe, is next Tuesday evening. We
are glad to see 80 much interest taken.
As the tide of immigration over the
Northern Pacific is already setting in,
would it not be wise thing for the
different Boards of Trade, in the Terri
tory to take some measdfes to- make
known to the people seeking new homes
in the Great West the advantages andre
sources Of Montana.
Who will be the next to assume the
matrimonial harness? We have noticed
that these things go, like the herring, in
shoals. At one time il is q mania for
marriage and at another time for suicide.
We do not mean to say they go hand in
hand with one another.
The debates held in the rooms of the
YIN. G. A. are getting to be very inter-
esting. The question for debate next
Thursday evening will be: Resolved,
That the evil which men do, lives after
them longer than the good. The public
are invited.
Mrs. H. Carleton and Mrs. A, E. Huber
have associated together for the purpose
of engaging in dressn1aking in all it's
branches. They can be found at the res
idence of Mrs. Carleton, East Bozeman.
Ashare of public patronage is solicited.
Arrall-na-Pogue was played last night
to the infinite delight Of the audience, at
Maguire's Opera House. The troupe, at
the earnest solicitation of number of
citizens, have concluded to play one more
evening, and tonight will put on the
stage the beautiful play of Camille, IN
which it is said Miss McAllister excels
1t is fascinating play; and as rendered
by this company will be well worth see
ing. This is positively the last night to
see this excellent troupe.
1t is to be regretted that the. public
schools close to-day, with. it is thought,
but little prospect of being opened again
until fall. From all accounts, children
have made good progress, and it seems a
pity that they should now be denied
sch6ol facilities for such length of time.
We trust that after such short vacation
the necessity of continuing will be go ap-
parent that either q tax be voted or pri-
'vate subscriptions be raised. for at least
two months school between now and the
next seasons opening.
The Rev. E. Bombast Edwards lee
'tured at the Grand Street Baptist Church,
Helena, ON the 26th. We had the mis-
fortune to listen to his ,prolonged and
tiresome lecture, and as misery loves
company we are in hopes he had large
and deluded audience in the capital city.
He may do to lecture the heather, but
scarcely comes up to the standard in re-
fined circles. The Independent says the
lecture was interesting, and there was a
good attendance.
The bill introduced by Senator Vest,
providing that the National Park shall
be attached 70 Gallatin County for judi
cisl purposes, while it provides that costs
akat bs paid BY. the United States in
criminal prosecutions is said to be lame
and capable of another construction, by
which Gallatin County would be liable
for a great deal of the cost. We trust that
this may be remedied; if not, that the
property within the Park may be subject
to assessment, go that our County may
get some return for what they may pay
out. s-a r.
