West of the Rosebud.

West of the Rosebud.
A'couple of hours, ride westward .
on the Northern Pacific carries US
over the Rosebud and its charming |
valley to where the smoke circles up
ward from an eight stall round-house
and machine shop at Forsyth, a town
on the Yellowstone that is we'll Supplied
with scenery, general stores, saloons
and good people, especially Sam Bos-
worth, whose hotel furnishes the best |
chuck between G'endive and Boze-
man, and who always has thimble-
full Of reviving nectar for the weary
traveller. George Taylor is another
whole-soled resident of Forsyth who,
for some reason or another commands
IA crowd at his billiard hall and Ieser-
voir, especially on Sunday nights.
His sisters and cousins and aunts may
contribute TO the magnetic forces that
draw the good looking young men Of
Forsyth to our Taylor friend,
One Of the pleasantest experiences
the writer has ever had fell1o his lot
last sunday evening. He sat on the
lower porch of the Bosworth House,
and listened TO the voices Of Major
Wyman's two little daughters rs they
trilled in perfect unison, so beauti-
fully, SO richly, the songs that we
learned when boys and girls-The
Sweet Bye and Bye, America, March
ing thro' Georgia; and the Sabbath
school jubilees that We never can for
get. These fioated sweetly on the
evening breeze toward the pine-topped
buttes DER which the pale moon shone
in all her silvery splendor. Then
"Peek-a.Boo" and other popular songs
of the day were interpreted and, al
though it was Sunday night, round
of applause went up from the pit aud
from the gallery that infused new
vigor into the voices of the children.
Mr.. Marcais and Tom Alexander dc
the merchandise business of the town.
Many COW boy stops there for the
stuff that he happens to need. We
saw COW boys there Sunday from the
U X aud the f U F. from the
Musselshell, from Sunday creek and
from the Porcupines. There was Jack
Keller and Z. X. Donnell or Joe Dom
nell, so quiet and steady, and two
N-bar boys, Jack Catchem and Joe
Cummings. Catchem is better known
as Tex. The two last said, and W,
believe them, that they saw the trai
Of about one hundred buffalo at thu
head of the Big Porcupiue about three
days ago and that a couple Of weeks
: before twelve had been seen by The
lower Musselshell roundup party
One of these the roundup boys killed
and secured store of buffalo steak fol
few days. On another occasion they
saw four buffalo on the lower Mussel-
shell and we must say to our readers

hundred head on the Porcupine il
worth taking advantage Of.
We heard Jim Cox, of the Mussel

be popular, and among the sheep mel

At the railroad Office we found Cbarli
McDaniels holding down the agent
chair just rs usual, l.. 5. Moses,
new arrival but bright railroader, |

feels under obligations to Ed. Hagi
; man, who says he will be in Mile
City in few days to see his friends.
To those who like quiet hunt 70
chicken, geese, deer or bear we r,
commend Forsyth. To those VIII
love picturesque scenery-just 81
Forsyth by moonlight and though "
