mic held here yesterday by Butte members
OF that denomination, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid Society, was a most
pleasant affair. The gay party filed four
railway cars and must have numbered 300
persons. It arrived at 10 a. m. and was
received by Rev. MI. Hickelman and men,
bers of the M. E. Church here. The party
Immediately proceeded to the picnic ground
where the day was spent in every form OF
outdoor amusement imaginable. At $50
D. m. all departed on their return, with the
consciousness OF having pleasantly whiled
away a rare June day in q delightful noun

and judging from appearances, enioyed
themselves hugely. To their credit let me
add that they comported themselves in a
quiet, orderly manner while among us.
