Lodge, having in charge crazy man to
be confined in the asylum at Warm
Springs.
Yesterday was an off day for the crack
shots of Bozeman, as the score published
to-day will show, that even the best shots
were wide of the mark.
Ak. Yerkes, formerly connected with
this paper, is at present at Olympia,
Washington Territory, where he has
secured an interest in paper, and is
well pleased with his new home
Mr.. Brown, formerly of Ellis & Brown,
left to-day for the west. Mr.. Brown has
made many friends while here and we
regret to lose him. We trust he may
succeed in the new home he may select.
Prot. Virgins is here with his museum
and will exhibit Friday and Saturday
evenings. There are number of Curl
critics in this museum besides Sig Law
anda, the iron-jawed man.
The Methodist general conference at
Philadelphia on the 18th inst. elected
four bishops, DR.. w. S. Ninde, Of Detroit
conference; DR.. S. NJ. Walden, Of Cincin-
natl; DR.. W. F. Wallalieu, and DR.. C. II.
Fowler.
Ben V. Clark is in town from his ranch
near the old Crow mission. He reports
the Yellowstone river as being higher at
this season of the year than ever known
and rising very rapidly. The bridge
across the river at Big Timber has been
carried away.
Owing TO the dull times the young
men around town may endeavor to pro :
duce the impression on the minds of the
young ladies that ice-cream and soda
water are poisonous, but we tell them
that it is just as good as ever it was. We
have tried the soda water several times
at Doctor Monroe's dispensary and it is
awayup.
The Second cavalry, with the excep
ton of the company at Fort Ellis, is now
on the march for new fields. They are
SO closely identified with the history OF
Montana that we had looked upon them
as one of us, and while We shall cordially
welcome the First cavalry there is a
tinge of regret that the Second leaves.
Sam Gibson came to town to-day suf-
ferlng from a dislocation Of the left
shoulder. About two weeks ago he was
thrown from horse, but did not know
that his shoulder was dislocated until he
cam to town. DR.. Monroe reduced the dis
located member and although suffering
from the operation, Mr.. Gibson will be
all right in few days.
Col. George o. Eaten arrived yesterday
from Cooke City and Bear Gulch, where
he is interested in putting in an extern
sive bedrock fume. He reports the
prospects as very f1attering at both
points. The company engaged in fluming
Bear creek are well provided with the
most improved machinery for prosecut-
ing its work, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that they have bonanza.
Would it not be good thing for Gal
latin county to have county fair? We
could make a fine exhibit of cereals, veg
etables, coal and other mineral specimens,
fine horses and cattle, and we have the
grounds on which they could be exhibit
ed. 1t is not too soon to move in this
direction and 1t is one which ought to be
made. 1t will do much to stimulate our
industries and advertize our resources.
Herman, the pedestrian who gave an
exhibition of walking at the rink at this
place, commences at o'clock tonight,
at Helena, to undertake l27 mile walk,
to be completed by II o'clock to-mor-
row uight-27 hours. He has been spo-
ken of as an impostor, but whether SO
or not, he can cover more ground, in a
given space of time, than any man we
ever saw, and we feel sure he will accom-
plish what he has undertaken.
Major Gordon, the popular command
ant at Fort Ellis, is closing out his house
hold furniture, preparatory to moving
away to the place to which he will be
assigned. Major Gordon has made many
friends III Bozeman who will regret to
see him leave. We trust his Zines may
be cast in pleasant places" and we heart
| lily recommend him to the good graces O.
the people with whom he may hereafter
come in contact.
We understand that Mr.. Anderson has
offered as a donation to the Baptist
church building one lot on Main street,
east of the skating rink. 1t was thought
that the building would 60 up on the
east side but so far no satisfactory ar
rangements have been made. If real es-
tate holders on the east side wish to Sc
cure the building of church on that
side they must hurry up, as no time can
be lost. The building will have to COM
mence soon so as to be completed before
winter sets in. The east side is not
lacking in enterprise; now let them show
it.
The public school closes tomorrow
evening. There will be declamatory
contest at the chapel of the West Side
house and in the afternoon matinee.
We were bonded notice for publication
but as it has been publicly announced
already, with programme, ETC., we do not
deem it necessary TO make any further
mention of it. On Saturday picnic will
be held in Rocky Canyon. The public
are cordially invited to attend the closing
exercises of the school. So far as We are
able to learn the patrons of the school
have been well pleased with its conduct
and with the advancement the children
have made. Prof. McComb has given
good satisfaction and we hope his serv-
ices will be retained, as well as those of
the teachers, who have been his assist
ants.
