BOEeman Politics.

The triangular fight for the Bozeman
postoffice has been prosecuted with con-
siderable yigor during the past week
intensified, no doubt, by reason of i'm
portant news from the seat of power,
Each applicant has now forwarded his
petition, the first containing the cream
of endorsements, the second, not as
strong, but larger, and the last docu-
ment of huge length and a couple hum
bred names. The outcome of this war
fare will be watched with considerable
interest and conjectural comment.
The seekers after the register office
are also coming to the surface pretty
thick, excited perhaps by the postofiice
fight. Jno. Stocker, J. E. Hendry. 7. b.
Quaw and Judge H. N. Mcguire have en-
tered the race.
Judge J. P. Martin Is the sole aspirant
for the Receivers Office, yet known, a
fact which is alone attributable to the
large amount of bonds required by that
officer
As yet no candidates for the district
judgeship have been named, and it is as
serted that this office will be given to an
eastern man.

Mr.. Fred Brooksbank, formerly of Boze-

death of his father, has been elevated
financially, and now enjoys consider
able income from the rolling-mill bust

an equal share. The company, compos-
ed of the Brooksbank brothers and MIR.
Nicholson, expect to erect suitable works
upon the ground, and will begin work
this year. The analysis proves without
a doubt that these gentlemen have DIS

Gross CarIessness.

Officer Harry Stentson of Big Timber,
arrived in Bozeman last week in charge
of "Slim Jim," notorious hummer and
bad man, who is charged with the kill
ing of Hans Olson. The particulars of
the case are thus entertaingly told by the
Enterprise:
Jim and the woman were drinking to-
gether in Brooks hotel saloon and
the latter was fourishing an old cap and
ball pistol, much to the terror of the
woman who was wrongly led to believe
that it was loaded and that Jim was
likely to shoot it off at any moment.
They then went down to Bliss saloon
where Maggie called up the drinks andln
paving for them dropped some silver on
the floor. Jim calamity picked up one
dollar but instead of givingit to its owner
called up the boys to have drink with
him. Maggie objected to this liberality
and demanded the return OF the money.
AS compromise she told Jim that II he
would 90 out doors and fire the load out
of the old pistol she would set up the
drinks for the house. Jim promptly
agreed. There was no load in that pistol
but he had seen a loaded As caliber Colts
revolver behind Brooks bar and conclud-
ed that if he fired cartridge out Of that
gun Maggie would be satisfied
by the noise and buy the drinks. So he
went in to Brooks, seized the revolver
and rushed toward the door with it. But
Mr.. Brooks had seen his movements and
calling to him to give it up, started after
him to take the gun from him
Jim saw him coming and
made alI haste to earn the promised drink
he reached the door, thrust out the revolt
yer beyond the door post to the left, look
ed backward at Brooks and fired. Sitting
on bench just beside the door, leaning
forward with his elbows on his knees and
his right shoulder turned from the door
was Hans Olson, deliberately cleaning the
ashes out of his pipe. The bullet from
the revolver in Slim Jim's hand ente-ec
Olson's shoulder, followed its course
slightly downward, passed through BIZ
heart and came out of the LEFT side Of his
chest. When the shot was fred he So

inches in the business. The st. Louis
Republican says: Last evening Barlow,
Wilson & Co.'S AIinstrels opened season
of Ethiopian minstrelsy at the Grand
Opera House, and met cordial recep-
ton at the hands of an all-over crowded
house. Among the personal features are
Milt. G. Barlow, Geo. Wilson, Hughey
Dougherty, the Four Aces and many
other minstrels of note The programme
was well selected, and contains several
new songs and fresh witticisms in the
first part, and the olio embraces several
attractive sketches, which are Barlow
and Wilson successes. The performance
went we'll throughout, and the patrons OF
minstrelsy were infinitely amused and
entertained.

A MAD FLOOD.
The Dam At Mystic Lake Breaks Loose
ana Damages Property.


About 10 o'clock Saturday morning
those living near Bozeman creek, which
usually runs placidly through our city,
were surprised at it's rapid rise and
muddy water. The beer vaults of Spieth
& Krug were soon filed with water and
grave apprehension was expressed for
Cooks blacksmith shop, which is situ-
ated directly over the stream. Irrigat-
ing bitches were opened, and stream of
water let into Meadows mill race. Soon
after the stream left the overlooking
banks near Maxey's, and followed the
low ground to the Baptist church, enter
ed house on the opposite side of the
street, and again joined the main stream
at the Main street bridge. During this
time grave fears were entertained for
those living near the stream few miles
above and parties at once left to ascer-
tain their condition.
THE CAUSE OF THE FLOOD
was traced to the dam located at the
head of the stream, where it is supplied
from Mystic lake, thirteen miles from
Bozeman' This dam was constructed by
the ditch company to supply the irriga-
ton bitches at the many farms along the
stream. At about o'clock a. m. the
dam gave way and food of water was
precipitated down the narrow canyon.
Two wood-choppers named thinner
man saw the impending flood and
rushed to the stable where their two
horses were harnessed ready for the
days work. Although the water was
up to their necls, they cut the halters
and gave the animals their liberty. One
horse was badly bruised in climbing the
steep incline. The boys lost all they
had except the horses. Jas. Boyd. who
has a wife and three children, succeeded
in getting away alive, but lost his all,
some of the children not obtaining suf-
ficlent
TO CLOTH THEIR NAKEDNESs.
Mr.. E B. Skaters cabin is situated on
the bank of the stream and his family
consisting of himself and two children,
one aged 10 and the other 5, were eat
ing breakfast. Hearing the noise Mr.,
shafer rushed TO the door, and then
grabbing the youngest babe the Oldest
child to follow. The little fellow first
ran and secured his savings bank and
followed his father up the hill just in
time to see the stable and horses swept
away One horse got out with few
bruises, the other was was drown
ed. Had this food came in the night
there is no doubt but that nearly all of
these people would have lost their lives.
The bridges were all washed away and
considerable wheat land flooded. 1t is
said that this dam will not be rebuilt.
