LOST CITIES.

Scattered throughout the world we ind
extensive traditions respecting cities buried
beneath the, land Or water. which. although
occasionally grounded On fact. have in most
cases purely legendary origin. It is true
that in years gone by the ravages Of nature,
caused either by earthquakes or enc roach
mesrts of the sea, have sweps away many a
smiling village; yet this explanation does not
account for the popular notion Of Lost cities,
which, like so many other subjects of a
kindred nature, is involved in uncertainty.
In Wales one may often hear sailors speak

Attempted Jail Delivery.

As Joe Didawick, guard at the Jail, was
pacing his usual rounds this morning
about three a. M, he heard unusual
noises about the Jail and close inspec-
ton revealed the fact that the iron graf
ing in one of the little ante rooms on the
west side of the Jail had been forced from
its position nearly far enough to admit a
person. He Immediately gave the alarm
and in less time than we can tell it, dep
uty-sherifIs Bailey and Browning were on
the ground. Search was made in and
around the Jail yard to see if any had got
out. A guard was placed at the window
with instructions to shoot any one at
tempting to get out. The Jail door was
unlocked but all were in bed and knew
nothing about it of course. They were
Immediately hustled into the corridor
containing the steel cells and securely
locked up. An inspection showed that
they had an axe, with which they had
pried of the wooden castings and cutting
the sill in two had removed sufficient Of
the stone wall to easily pry out the iron
grating 1t was forced from its position
at least foot and in five minutes more
delivery would have been effected. A
broken knife was also found which had
evidently been used. The axe was hand
ed in through the iron grating by some
persons who had access to the Jail yard
On the wall of the closet was written in
a bold hand: 1922 900 reward is offered,
showing that they felt certain of escape
but the vigilance of the officers detected
| them in the attempt.

Buy A Home.

Gen. George Barstow gave good advice
in speech on the subject of "Home."
He said every man should own his own
home, if he can. That philosophy which
tells man to drift over this uncertain
life without home is like ship out in
the open sea, at the hazard Of the storm.
A man who owns his home is like ship
that has arrived in port, and is moored
in safe harbor. One man should be no
more content to live in home that is
not his own, if he can build one, than
one bird should take the risk of Matching
in another ones nest; and, for my part, 1
would rather be able to own a cottage
than to hire palace. 1 would say to
every man. buy home ifyou can, and
own it. Ifa windfall has come to you,
buy a home. Do not let anybody tempt
you to put all your e: rnings back into the
pool. Take out enough to buy a home,
and buy it. Put the rest back if you will
gamble on if you must; but buy the
home first. Buy it and sell it not. Then
the roses that bloom there are yours; the
clematis and Jasmine that climb upon
the porch belong to you. You have
planted them, and seen them grow
When you are at work upon them, yor
are not working for others. If there art
childen, there are flowers within the
house and without. Buy home.

TO The school Patrons.

We take this opportunity Of requesting
the parents who have children who are
not attending school at present, but who
have been. and those intending to enter
their children into the schools at the
next fall term to permit them to be pres
ent during one Of the following days at
which times examinations will be held
in the various departments for the yearly
promotions. We desire to give to all
certificate of position, and also leave IN
the records of each department the rank
and grade of all pupils belonging thereto.
This will be very convenient for the sue
ceeding teachers and save great deal OF
time, both for the pupils and teachers.
Change of teachers is of SO common oc-
currence that without this as guide
work commences with confusion, and
much time is expended in grading. We
will be much pleased to see full atten-
dance al the various examinations This
is the time for promotion. Examinations
will be conducted by the principal in the
various departments as follows:
In the first ward, primary department,

Found In the kiver.

A day or two ago Doctors Grant ana
Perry found a curious item Of treasure
trove cast up by the river near Benson's
Landing. 1t was an old-fashioned carpet
bag packed to its utmost capacity with
such articles as are generally carried by
a bachelor Of careful habits. There was
a suit of fine clothes, beside other gar
ments, packages of letters, several books,
an album filled with photographs, great
quantity of linen, collection OF COINS
and numerous list Of other articles, and
all betokening that the owner was IN
comfortable circumstances and OF some
refinement in his habits of life. The
printed and written matter was all IN
the German language, hut one Of the let
tiers was found to bear the address OF
John Y. P. Brown and to refer to Central
Park, West Gallatin. 1t is somewhat
strange that s,,oh collection Of articles
of considerable actual value, to say moth
| ing of their intrinsic worth to the owner,
/ should he found aHoat in the rivsr-En'

Correspondence.

Editor Of the Chronicle:
DEAR SIR:-Will you allow me, as
subscriber to your esteemed paper to say
q few words of caution to our theater-
going people. In the first place the Nc
CURE Opera House is not safe building
for q theatre, owing to the floor not hav-
ing sufficient strength and support to
carry the immense weight Of human be-
ings, that are usually gathered at public
places of amusement.
In the second place, there is only one
small doorway for ingress and egress,
barely room for an ordinary couple to
pass in and out, without q jam, which
you will acknowledge Mr.. Editor, with
me, that it is not what the law requires
in public buildings for safety to life; also
the crowding of the isle of the theatre,
as was the case last evening, should not
be tolerated, by an audience or manager
of any public institution whatever. In
case there was fire alarm or a panic
take place in the Magure Opera House
which is liable to happen at any time,
what would be the result?
Why, one-third or perhaps one-half Of
the audience would be trampled upon
and crushed to death in their efforts to
escape through the one only little door
way. was in panic once where the
result was serious. therefore nv words
are from experience and not mere chat
blown into the air. In conclusion will
say, let the Mcguire opera house be- look
ed after and the floor properly braced
more doors and proper ventilation.

Editor of The Chronicle:
DEAR SIR:-Noticing communication
in your paper Saturday regarding the
Maguire's opera house, signed "a Friend
etc." will agree to his exceptions as
regards ingress and egress, but as for
safety of the floor he is entirely wrong,
either from ignorance or design.
Knowing the construction of the floor

struction, also say that it is better than
you give it.
Now. out of justice to all humanity
will the author please take the facts OF
the case and by any factor of safety used

unsafe. He says this to parties having

Look Out For Thieves.

Several instances have occurred lately
of thefts committed in Bozeman which
leads one to the conclusion that they
must be committed by some parties who
haye lately arrived. Last night the
butcher shop of Aldritt & Slower was en-
tered, the money draw broken open and
thrown on the floor, but fortunately it
contained no money. The shop was full
of meats but they are not aware that any
thing has been taken. Extra vigilance
should be maintained for a little while.
90 that these thieves NAV be captured
and an example made of them.

IN SEARCH OF A HUSBAND.
Two Weeks A Bride and Then . Grass
Widow.

Mn. Anna West Nee Frhn) is now
in Bozeman in search of her husband,
Harry H. West. She carries with her a
marriage certificate signed in due form
by q Cherokee, Iowa, clergyman named
Chase. Mrs. VESTS statement is that
last March, her brother-in-law, resident
of Cherokee, Iowa, introduced her to
Harry H. West, tall man with black
p, hair, wearing canvas pantaloons and gum
boots"
West represented himself a. having
long been engaged as herder by well
known Yellowstqre cattle raiser, and IN
vestigation proves that such man really
&. did herd stock. for the >ranchman whose
name was given. !Tae asly explanation
West gave of his presence in the sober
Iowa town, where he 80 quickly won and
crushed tender heart, was that he was
waiting for money from his uncle, who
lived in Peoria, Illinois. His captivating
narratives of his ventures by food and
field" in the far west, and more than all
his plain working mans garb and appar-
ent caudor, were too much for the Iowa
lady's susceptibllities. "She loved not
wisely, but too we'll" (may be). The
brother-in-law advanced enough-await-
ing money from his uncle in Peoria-for
the gallant Montana lasso-thrower to
purchase q wedding outfit, with some
pocket change besides (sl25 in ally and
the marriage ceremony was performed
BY the Congregational minister Of Chero-
kee. One week was delightfully."- spent
in honey-mooning and waiting for money
from Peoria" when the groom reported
that the long-looked for letter from his
uncle had come to hand, and the imme'
date preparations were made for the
bridal tour to the gold filled gulches and
verdant valleys of Montana. The trunks
were packed hers, for Mr.. West had none
to pack) the good byes said, and Mr.
West went out to get rope to strap the
big trunk, and has not been heard from
since. He wore off his wedding suit
telling his wife 70 take the tenderest cart
of the button-hole bouquet he was dec
Grated with when he stood up. Mrs. W.
who loves him still is now in Bozema'
awaiting tidings from the recusant hus
tand and if Harry has the gizzard OF
chicken, he will, after his wife has prov
ed her devotion, after such rascally treat
ment give some explanation Of his sing
ular conduct.
