to sell their produce during the past
season. together with the excellent fall
trade that our business men have enjoy

THE TOWN COW.

w e have known lpts Of city men who
were positively unh Rppy until they had
posse ssed a COW, and OH with what
pleasure they will depict the beauty of
good, thic c4eam, homemade butter,
etc. After awhile the cow becomes
quite well acquainted with her new sur
roundings and brow pes upon the fruits
of the clothes line, eats up the rare
exotics on the fioh MT porch and does
other deeds that shb ws that she is per-
fectly recon ciled to her new lot. But it
is not until she leaps the high board
fence and disappears beyond the sight Of
man that the owner fully realizes the
luxury of having cow in town, and
what pleasure it ID to him TO pay men
and bows to look her up, then after
weeks of searching to learn that she has
gone as dry as bone-Yard. Oh! its
nice to have your o Fn COW. We have
never owned COW but we know lots of
nice men, who were once constant
church goers who ha I've. For instance
A Bozeman man has been In great
trouble during the past two weeks over
the abrupt departure of his COW for parts
unknown. The day after her disappear
ancu he hired small boy to hunt her
up. The boy returned about dark and
informed the anxious cow owner that
his cow had returned and was at that
moment in the stable. Thereupon the
citizen gave the youth a silver dollar
and hied himself to the barn with pail
in hand to extract the accumulation Of
lectaal fluid from his truant cow. 1t
was quite dark in the stable, but ne
managed to give the bovine her usual
mess of meal, and then walked to the
rear to perform tho delightful duty of
milking.
Gently pushing her flank as was his
wont, the ungratefua COW with sudden
move caught him b etween herself and
the stall, and for the space of few
minutes rested her tired frame upon
his stomach. She finally resumed her
standing position, and more dead than
alive the owner proceeded with the
business in hand. The man from the
next block who came to the scene to
learn the cause of the uproar, give it as
his opinion that ri mortal man could
depict the view that met his eye. The
boy had maliciou SLY or unknowinglY
driven full grown steer into the stable.

THE oRAu COMPANY.

We were somewhat surprised yester-
day to receive telegram from Manager
Mcguire informing us that he had con-
Guided to bring the Grau Opera COM
pany to Bozeman for three nights
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this
week. Some weeks ago he expressed
himself as being DESTROYS of bringing the
company here, but was afraid to do 30
owing to the fact that it numbered
thirty-fve members and was exceeding
ly expensive. However, it seems that
he has concluded to do so. and we be-
lieve that he win be amply repaid for 80
doing. The company has played in
Helena and Butte to large houses and is
highly commended by the press of both
cities, We do not know what pieces

that,the Mikado will be one and the
Pirates of Penzance another. The visit

HUNTERS SPRINGS.

The purchasers of DR.. Hunters Hot

are forming a stock company to be
known as the Montana Hot Springs
Company, instead of the Hunters Hot

the extensive Improvements suggested
will be the removal of the depot three
fourth of a mile nearer the springs.
The new hotel will be one and one
quarter miles from the new depot and
townsite. A surpension bridge will span
the river, and broad avenue will be
made to the river, with canal through
the centre, through which the hot water
will be conducted to the river. As
mapped out, the surroundings will be as
elegant as those at Baden Baden.

THE PARADE.

Notwithstanding the sudden fall the of
temperature on New Years day, the fire
bell at / o'clock p. m. called together the
"laddies" and soon after, headed by the
Bozeman silver cornet band, they march,
ed to the mnsic of the band with the
machines in tow. The crisp, cold air
made their steps light and active, and
their faces ruddy and noses red, but
with the absence of snow the parade
was carried through according to pro-
gramme without much personal dis
comfort. After it was over each saloon
man of the town extended an invitation
to the boys to parade to refreshments,
which was accepted.

OUR NEW JUDGE.

Judge Chas. r. Pollard, of Delphi, Ind,
lately appointed to fill the vacant bench
in this district, caused by the removal Of
Judge Coburn, arrived on Wednesday,
accompanied by his law partner. Judge
Apologize. The gentlemen at once
sought the citizens to whom they had
letters of introduction and were at once
made to feel as much at home as possible.
They remained until Friday when they
departed for Helena, where Judge Pol
lard on Monday took his position as
associate judge Of the. supreme court.
Before he left the CHRONICLE represent
alive called upon the Judge and was
very heartily received, the judge at once
creating q favorable opinion in his be-
half, as he has done with all with whom
he has come in contact. In stature he
is man nearly six feet tall, about forty
years Of age, slender, sharp features.
quick and evidently man of ability and
decision,-a man who viii be popular
with the people. In response to our
question, "How do you like Bozeman ?"
the Judge replied that he was most favor
ably impressed with it and the people
who had made his visit delightful one.
and would make it his home during his
tenure of Office The advantages Of
schools for his son and daughter, one ten
and the other fourteen, was one of the
main reasons for his accepting this To-
cation for his home, When asked re-
garding his relations with Judge Coburn,
he said that he had written to the gen.
tleman as soon as he had been appointed
requesting him to remain in Montana,
if possible, until he could come out that
he might become posted as to his duties.
This request had remained unanswered,
and he regretted it very much that he
had not met the exjudge. In the first
place he had no knowledge of succeed
ing Coburn, as his application for the
past few weeks had been general one.
Some time ago he had been promised
the chief justiceship of Dakota, but when
Judge Trip became an applicant he
voluntarily withdrew his name in favor
of Trip, who was a resident of Dakota
and more entitled to the position than
himself. He was therefore given the
first vacancy that occurred afterwards.
Regarding the appointment of clerk
the Judge said that for some time at
least the present clerk would fill the
Office. He was anxious to receive his
confirmation by the senate before leav-
ing Indiana, but was directed by Attor-
ney-G General Garland to depart with all
possible haste to Montana, where his
services were urgently required, and,
until his confirmation at least, no change
would be made by him in the office of
district clerk.
Judge Pollard has been for twenty
years an active practitioner before the
courts of Indiana and comes to Montana
with fine record as a LAWYER and an
honorable reputation as man. We are
pleased to know that after many years
Bozeman is at last to become the abid-
ing place of the district judge. His
family will arrive early in the spring.
