Deyine, of committing the theft, and had
him arrested. He was brought before
Squire Iiuy last Monday, but as the pros
~ecution was unable to procure an impor-
tant witness on that date, the case was
continued until the 18th inst.
T. W. Murphy has associated himself
with George Warner and will operate an
express line from Flat Creek across to
Augusta and Choteau, and as soon as ar
rangemcnts can be made will extend their
line to other points. Warner 4 Murphy
will make a strong team, and as success
is certain, we refrain from Furnishing our
readers with the time-worn and stereo-

Great Falls needs, wants, must and will
have a drug store shortly. 1t is the best
location in the Territory, and some enter
prising druggist by locating here can
build up a fourishing trade. Without any
opposition nearer than Helena and Ben
ton, a good drug store could command the
patronage of a large scope Of country.
Anyone wanting a desirable location III
this particular line of business will do
well to visit Great Falls and examine. into
its present and future prospects.
We understand a combined effort is be-
ing made by the people of Augusta and
Choteau to have a wagon road built from
Flat Creek to both settlements, and a mall
route established. In this Territory we
have very poor mail service at the best,
and there is no sense in keeping up two
mail routes where one will do equally as
we'll and be of more convenience to the
public. The proposed route would be
shorter, less expensive, and would be the
means of saving at least twenty-four
| hours in the delivery Of the mails than by
the present routes. Let the o be es-
tablished by all means.

for complaint on both sides, but be thai
as it may, the glass front which was bro

day last week. The proprietor having oc'
casion to 60 away, to remain over night, nc
importuned one of our sedate, sober ano
upright citizens to remain in the place
over night in his absence. Shortly attel
