DEER LODGE, June 10, 1885.
The weather has cleared up and the rays
of the sun are uncomfortably warm, yet it
is good growing weather and people
generally are feeling first rate. We have
had an abundance OF rain and if the clerk
of the weather will stop it for while we
will feel thankful. Charley Bielenberg, who
has just arrived home from Nevada valley,
reports heavy damages done down there
by the recent floods. Houses, bridges,
fences and stock were carried away, but
fortunately no lives were lost. Two
little children were carried down the on
rushing waters for considerable distance
to bridge where they were picked up by a
structure. The Oldest inhabitant OF that
valley claim that water was never SO high
before.
A man named Milligan was thrown from
hand-car the other day and was badly
hurt. He was taken to the company's
hospital at Ogden, where it is thought he
will recover from the injuries sustained.
w. w. Walton, guard at the "Pen," en-
joyed his fifty-second birthday this week,
and in honor OF the occasion the flag was
run up and the canon fired. A few OF the
inmates also joined in the presentation to
the old guard a handsome gold ring. 1t is
happiest man in town.
The closing exercises of the college the
other evening was magnificent success.
Prof. Mcmillan and the whole faculty are
entitled to the greatest praise Tor the able
manner in which they have conducted that
popular and meritorior.s institution. The
nerformance v--s TOO long and varied fer
your. -~irespondent to take up and
s.ention it in detail, however much he
would be pleased to do so. Yet he is glad
to be able to state that every feature OF it
was carried out to perfection, and teachers,
pupils and spectators retired from the
scene in the most happy frame of mind.
The new dormitory is now under way of
constrqGtionqt and NJ"
Aside from the racing programme, but
little if said about the 4th OF July. We
have plenty of good talking talent in Deer
Lodge, and is is a pity to see the day pass
without some sort of a demonstration.
The So, ,OOO-school bonds which have been
advertised for sale have not been taken up
yet.' Here is a chance for some capitalist
to secure a good investment. Until the
bonds are sold the incomplete building will
stand as it is. The tin roof is getting rusty,
and to preserve it and the building, it
should be painted. 1t will require in the
neighborhood OF 5000 to paint it, and it is
to be hoped that our citizens will cOntrive
some plan by which that amount may be
raised.
Miss Clara Bielenberg, the accomplished
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. P. H. Bieen-
berg, who has been attending college at Salt
Lake, returned home yesterday. She will
return to school September LIST.
Judge Galbraith starts for Missoula to-
morrow to hold term OF court, commenc-
ing Monday, June 22d.
of Rnft Of q
ing OF the college term, spent a few days in
Deer Lodge as the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Bush, and returned home yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff Tommy Ward, OF Ana
conda, is in town.
Bill Edward, OF the upper valley, was in
town this week pleading a lan6 case before
Judge Emerson. The water case got too
thin for Bill and he switched off on land,
and even in this he was ditched. But when
Tom Ford, Morgan Evans, Tom Daley
and Bill Edwards fail to find water or land
the Deer Lodgers, in the goodness OF their
hearts, always produce the beer in it's
sparkling light.
VIM. F. Stanley, our genial county clerk,
received his mail yesterday. Nothing
strange in this. But strange to say he pro-
ceeded to Minnie Ornce's ice cream parlors
and invited lot of ladies to partake OF
the luxuries of life. While the ladies were
enjoying their ice cream and cake, and dur
ing a pause in the amusement, he sought to
ascertain the character OF his mail matter
just having come from the postoffice with
an armful OF letters and packages-when to
his astonishment one of the packages con-
tanned a dead cat, the Odor from which per-
meated the parlors and caused a general
stampede. Stanley was arrested for main
tanning nuisance and fined five dollars
and trimmings. After this no mail will be
received by the county clerk without first
being thoroughly inspected. 1t was Il clear
case OF Offensive partisanship," and our
good natured postmaster, although as inno-
cent as lamb has been reported to WASH
ingtOn Yer
Henry Mcfarland, coroner, went upN =
Anaconda this afternoon to hold an Inquest
on the body of the man "Red," who was
killed there last night.
