capitalists will soon leave Montana, for
Washington to promote q scheme to divide

That the fire was incendiary is evident, but
Just who set it can be fastened on no one in

showed himself to be without stain. The
case was one of interest and ably conducted.

At the meeting OF the Union League

At the meeting OF the Union League
Club, to take action on the death OF
General Grant, many "reminiscences
took shape. Among the statements
that attracted unusual attention was
one made by General Schofield, TO the
effect that it was a mistake to say that
Grant had no military reputation pre-
vious to the war, and that he was not
regarded among military men as a
man likely to make his mark. Gen.
eral SchoEeld insisted that the oppo-
site was true. Among West Point
officers Grants sOldierly ability was
well known, and at the beginning OF
the war four Of his West Point tutors
had put themselves on record in
prophesying that Grant was the COM
ing man of the war, or at least that he
was likely 10 take high rank as a
