Bob Roberts is on his way home,
being now in New York Il,
John Warn expects to return from
Bozeman in about ten days.
Il 3. Lamb has decided that his
new brand shall be al connected.
s new barn for the accommodation Of

pleted. 4
Nothing has been heard from J. D..
Carver, since he went to Bismarck to see
his wife and it is feared she may be
seriously i'll. n
Sam. Whitney has decided to make
Medora his home and has gone to house
keeping in Bob Roberts building. His
eldest daughter arrived last evening. g
1t is perfectly wonderful, the change
that even the little rain Of last night
effected. Everywhere now can be seen
the tinge Of the rapidly growing grass. !
The LeMoyne cattle Co. will soon snip
in one or two car loads Of bulls. From
letters Of Mr.. lie hoyne, we judge that
they will be grade Galloways or aberdeen
Angus. ?s{as .,s5s5$G
E. G. Paddock's livery stable is COM
pleted and, as predicted, is by no means
a detriment to the looks OF the town.
He has already opened up and ina few
days will be able to meet nearly any
demand made on him. III
The whole Of the plateau east Of town
burned over Monday evening, the fire
spreading in all directions. We wish. to
remark that the reward Of $3.50 for tho
arrest and conviction Of anyone setting
the grass on fire still holds good.
Several times we have heard the ques-
stion asked as to whether the stage line
would get a mail contract. Bids were
advertised for last February and the first
day Of, July will surely see mail go out
scs aIeioras for the Fills.
None of the CONTESTANTS have shot of
their back scores In the shooting match.
Two members Of the executive committee
are 20 make up back scores and as the
! president was out Of town it had to be
4 postponed last Saturday. Weather per
hitting, tho scores will be shot next
Saturday.
sSs Much improvement work is being done
at the coal mine. An air shaft is being
3tunnelled, a new chute built, tracks and
coal buggy added and many more i'm
1 prOvements. The expenses have already
gone beyond the receipts, hut it is hoped
that contract made for all the. coal the
CO. uses and next winters trade will

James ~. Allen arrived from Dead
wood yesterday morning and imme,
diately entered upon the duties o.
superintendent to which office he was
appointed by John A. CASTOR who is now
\ General manag ger. This looks more like
business than any move that has been
made for some time. The way to secure
z patronage is to place authority in the
hands @of men who are well-known In
the Hills and who know how to rustic
These requisites are both filed by Messrs
Castor and Allen. We learn also, that
