A scheme is on foot lOr running

Elsewhere appears the advertisement
of r. T. Barnett. who, at the earnest soil
citation of horsemen in Helena and Deer
Lodge, has concluded to take Clark
Chief to these points, starting some time
this week. Chiefs good qualities are
well advertised in this territory by his
speedy son Ranchero, of Deer Lodge.
One of our well known ranchmen met
with quite a serious accident on satur-
day last. He drove up in front of a sa-
loon, and, instead of the uCual way of
alighting from wagons, he 'stook head
/ err" landing on his Uranium and receiv-
ing severe shock, from which he did
not recover for several minutes. Too
much Jersey lightning" the cause.
The stud roundup between the Madi-
son and Gallatin rivers begins on April
9th. At the annual round up meeting at
Moreland on Tuesday last, it was decided
to commence the horse roundup on the
third of May, and the cattle roundup On
the first of June. This is seven days
earlier than usual, in order to give ample
time to the work before haying COM
mences.
A. Bailey on Saturday took three
convicts to Deer Lodge penitentiary.
They were William Judd, sentenced for
four years for grand larceny; Louis
Greenwood, sentenced for six years for
grand larceny, mis- crime consisting of
wholesale and systematic cattle stealing;
and Jack Stevenson, five years and six
months for manslaughter. the victim
being Frank KannIs.
At special meeting of the city coun-
Gil on Wednesday night, lot was cast,
and David Anderson declared alderman
of the third ward. The names of Hoff-
man and Anderson, the candidates who
received a tie vote at the municipal cleo
ton, were placed in hat together with
forty-eight blanks. Alderman Spleth
was blindfOlded, and drew the tickets,
name coming out first.
There will be a competitive examin-
alton at Helena, on the 18th and 10th
inst, for candidates from this distrit to

The successful candidate must be pre-
pared to present himself at West Point
by June 1st, next. DIR. Monroe, one of
the committee, will leave Bozeman to,
lay for Helena. Herb. Walrath and

Bozeman, will compete for the appoint

Sebree, Ferris & White have decided

wagons to their lots on Main street and
Central avenue, and will commence at
,nce the erection of a brick Office and
uitable buildings on rear end of this
property, leaving the front for the main

There is popular prejudice in favor
eggs having dark-colored shells. 1t is
ased on reason in so far as it is a fact
nat Brahma and Plymouth Rock eggs,
-hich are usually large and of good
uality have dark shells. The taste of
ggs depends much on the feed of the
en-. At this season when grain is the
APPLE diet, the eggs are more finely
avored than later, when the hens pick
p their living by foraging. Fifteen cents
or dozen hardly compensates an ener-
tic hen for the labor involved in
good eggs. y
With few very slight exceptions, the
tie, as published in the CHRONICLE last "
