The following notice was found in the
court room the morning Of the circus,
and shows that court and lawyers will
indulge in little levity:
''WHEREAs: The circus is in town and

paramount duty of every American citi-

whereas in comparison with this stupen-

little things, and whereas the churches
and business houses should Ike closet as
all the ranches are now shut III, and
whereas the briefs Of lawyers have more
of the elephant in them than the law,
therefore he it resolved that this court
stands adjourned until Monday morning
at 8 o'clock a. IN.
We are not aware whether this was
read to the court or what action was
taken thereon, but We presume the court
adjourned. At any tate We understand
that the conclusions of the jury were

ACCIDENT on THE .. xx.
Conductor Edwards Killed and Brake.
nan Sayles BadIy Injured.

Wednesdays np-bound freight on the
Utah 4 Northern left Dillon about noon
all right, with two engines manned by
engineers Wickmere and Cashmere, and
in charge of freight conductor +. Ed
wards. The train. consisting Of two To-
eomotives. twenty-five 'leight cars and
the caboose. was heavily loaded with
horses, railroad iron, coal, -four, oats and
miscellaneous merchandise.
Everythin. went smooth with the
train until about three miles this side of
Glen station. Going down the grade of
one hundred and five feet t. the mile,
the train moving at a speed 81 forty
miles an hour, became unInanageable,
and flew along the track, increasing its
speed until it was estimated to be NOV
ing at the extraordinary rapid rate Of
sixty to seventy miles per hour.
When within three miles nf Glen sta
ton, and in passing over what is termed
reverse curve in the track, the train
had attained such an appalling velocity
that the fifth car jumped the track and
five freight cars were almost instantly
de-raile,l and badly wrecked.
Conductor Edwards was on top Of the
fifth car from the cabOOse at the time of
accident, presumably at work applying
the brake He was thrO.n distance of
twenty-five feet. Lighting on his head
on pile of rocks, his skull was smashed
in and his brains ran out. The death of
the unfortunate man must have been
almost instantaneous.
Brakeman Sayles, who was on the
fourth Tar from the caboose at work on
the brake, was thrown violently to the
ground on the derailmento of the car. His
right shoulder was dislocated and he re-
ceived other severe injuries, but not nee
essarily of fatal character.
The train proceeded down the grade to-
ward Glen at a fearful rate of speed for
about three-quarters Of a mile when the
fifth car from the locomotive jumped the
track, ditching fifteen cars and leaving
the twentieth car on the track.
The train was badly smashed up and
wrecked, and the freight was scattered
and to great extent destroyed. Out of
forty head of fine horses belonging to
Montague 4 Morgan, of Deer Lodge Co.,
u
others more or less injured.
The funeral of Conductor Edwards
took place from the passenger depot of
the FL. 4 N. yesterday, Friday, at 10
o'clock a. M. Rev. Mr.. Drummond, rec
tor of st. James Church, officiated at the
obsequies. Deceased was about % years
old. His relatives live in Colorado and

June 25th, 1884.

THREE TOhkS, NAONIANA,
/ June 25th, 1884.
| En-. CHRONICLE
! We had one Of the most severe rain
and hail storms here yesterday known
for years.
We are going to celebrate the Fourth
| of July with a number Of horse races
there are three premiums a. follows:
Half mile single dash purse 500, en-
trance fee added; 6OO yards race 500,
entrance added; race for COW ponies SO;
also 100 yard foot race.
Three Forks is having real estate
boom. Messrs. Arncott, Henage and
Chatter, English gentlemen have made
extensive purchases here, in all about
1000 acres. They have also purchased
COO head Of cattle, among them many
fine graded stock. These gentlemen are
going to commence operations on large
ditch next week. The ditch is to be
eight feet wide on the bottom, and will
convey sufficient water to irrigate alb ut
half of the Jefferson valley. MIR. J. J.
Reeves will superintend the building OF
the same. The above named gentlemen
have formed stock company, known as
the Missouri Forks Cattle Company. they
have paid out in this vicinity during the
last eight days about $4,000, they are
also interested in iron mines about four
miles from here. Some very fine pros
poets are being developed and daily in
creasing in body and richness. At pre-
sent force Of mer are opening these
mines and have enough ore IN sight to
Justify the erection of machinery to work
the ores. They have organized COM
pany, and in company with Ohio capital
lists are going to erect during the summer
iron furnaces and foundries, at cost of
$4,000.
The copper mines in the Emerson dis
trict remain in statu quo. They are
owned principally by men who are UNI
able to develop them.
Messrs. Hopping and Aplin have a
fine prospect known as the Burlington.
The Barrett, Chapman and Shaw claims
is also promising The only influential
capitalist interested in copper in Emer-
son is Bozeman mining expert, J.J.
Bennett. This gentleman is a rustler,
last summer he forwarded specimens Of
ore from here to Swansea, Wales, had
them assayed, getting returns in an in
credibly short space of time. We are
fortunate in having such gentleman in
terested in our copper mines. We have
also some of the finest coal mines in the
territory, some being developed by
Messrs. Shed and Mulligan, others by
Messs. Barker, StovenOr and Bardel.
As before announced the English COM
pany who bought the Paul & Hanley
place have laid out about 200 acres Of it
in town lots, and are selling them off
verv rapidly, and buildings are being
erected on them as fast as material can
be obtained. Some business houses and
dwellings are in course Of erection,
among them bank building for the Use
Of the company above named. We ex-
pect before the summer to see quite a
town spring mp here. Money has al
ready been raised to build church ard
school house and contracts will soon he
let for the building Of the same as others.
Taking it all in all this part Of Gallatin
county is alive, and future prospects are
fattering.

DR.. J. L. York, of San Jose, California,
has delivered four lectures here to large
audiences. Evolution" "Inspiration,"
individuality and Love and Marriage"
and Divine Revelations have been the
burden of his themes. We have no space
to give synopsis of his remarks, but
will say that he is a good speaker and
held the attention of his audience on the
different subjects treated Of. He did not
say anything new on evolution, as his
lecture was but the reflected light Of
Darwin, Huxley, Spencer ard others,
who have made this subject serious
study, but he has a striking and novel
way Of putting his arguments into shape,
aud withal is a pleasant speaker. The
audiences were large and no doubt a
great many Of them entertained the same
views as the speaker.
