Hatcher met the witness with a drawn
knife in his hand on the 11th Of Septem-
Der, and Hatcher said: ''This is the first

knowing the desperate character of
Hatcher, kept at distance, but said that
he had no apology to make. Hatcher
jumped at the witness and made a rake at
his throat. The witness arms were the

of the Mayor as false.

The Colorado Syndicate.

The effort Of a syndicate of Colorado
nabobs TO gobble up the Crow reserva-
ton for a cattle ranch bids fair to prove
ahortive. The prompt and energetic
action taken by the citizens of Billings
has done much toward opening the
eyes of those high in authority at Wash
ington. Ex-Gov. Crosby is heartily in
sympathy with the movement against
the syndicate. He writes:

OUR MAIL SERVICE.

Early last spring the citizens of Mai
den took steps toward securing better
mail service. A petition was sent to
the Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral asking that the Overland postoffce
be discontinued and that Maiden be
made the terminus for both the Benton
Southern and Junction City lines, the
former Gaming in via Andersonville and
terminating here. An order, in COM
plyance with petition, was issued from
Washington, but Vas closely followed
by another making M%aginnis the ter
minus, with the Benton Southern pass
ing through Maiden to that point. 1t
WAS the evident intention of the depart
ment to discontinue the Junction line
altogether and increase the Ubet route
to a daily, in accordance with recon-
mendatlons of Post-office Inspector
Bannerman, who visited Maiden and
Maginnis on official business about this
time. The officers and civilians at the
post, becoming alarmed at the prob
able loss of The Junction line, and not
deeming a daily from Ubet sufficient
compensation, appealed through the
war department for the retention of the
Junction line, with, as appears, ample
success. The continuance of this line
Of course preclpded the possibility of a !
daily from Ubet, and although the
Junction line was not molested. all l

the factory of Fraser & Chalmers, Of
Chicago, whicLis a sufficient guarantee
of its being the best machinery manu-
featured. We have yet to meet with
a skilled millwright, versed in mining
machinery, that expresses preference
for other makes.
The designer and builder of the
mill, Mr.. Thomas w. Fisher, of
Helena, shows by his work that he has
few equals as a millwright. His ex-
perience in the planning and con
struction OF quartz mills is practically
unlimited, having, among many others,
designed and built the old Northwest
mill and the Algonquin 2o-stamp mill
at Phillipsburgh, M. T., the 90 stamp
mill at Gloster, near Helena, Io-stamp
at Lincoln, Io-stamp mill at Wickes,
as well as constructing hosting and
concentrating machinery at several
places in the territory, This, his last
effort, is another tribute to his skill, it
being the most complete mill, for ca
pacity, in the northwest. The company
is fortunate in securing the services of
Mr.. Fisher, at least until the holidays,
to take complete charge of the mill,
and under his management Mr.. Esler
is confident of makiag a cleanup that
will prove an eye-opener to capitalists.
