The Mexican Orchestra.

! Residents in this city who have
witnessed the performance of the
Mexican Typical Orchestra, 90 into
strange raptures over it. They say
that the dash and abandon of the
dancing, and the weirdness and
passion Of the music is something
which thrills the senses and fires
the brain like old wine.
1t will be remembered that at
the New Orleans Exposition the
Mexican band was ranked by all
odds, as head and shoulders, music
ally, above all competing organiza-
tions, and the music loving crowd
was always packed about the spot
where the King Of Bands played.
Dudly Buck wrote in the Boston
Musical Review.
''Mexico has introduced US to
new music, as distinct and differ
ent from what we have been accus-
toned to, as the delicious fruits of
the tropics are in contrast with our
own New England pears and ap-
pies, and that too, az novel and
luscious to the taste. | felt that
l could never get quite enough Of
Mexican fruit or Mexican music
while at the Exposition
While much of the music is new,
their instruments are decidedly
novel.
The xzilophone has 80 strings,
and the saltono G6. On the latter
instrument it is necessary to strike
three strings simultaneously to |
give the desired effect, and the |
sweetness and tenderness Of these |
instruments is something indescrib-
able.
With the troupe are five ladies
who sing and dance, and the So
prano can sing c sharp as chest
note.
There are thirty-six performers
IN the Orchestra, and the instru-
used are all strings and
.eeds. There are twelve solo in
,trumentalists, and among them
he finest clarionet player living.
The following was received last

The Billings stage driver brought in
word Sunday that T.. X. Clingan, OF
Belt, had been shot in the shoulder
and arm by n blacksmith ut that
place, and had been taken to Great
Falls for medical treatment.
E.W. Lewis, who returned from Belt
Monday, furnishes us with the follow
ing information relative to the shoot
ing at that place on saturday last:
1t seems that George, the blacksmith.
while drunk. came into Mr.. Clingans
store and used violent and abusive
language. Clingan ordered him out
and finally forced him out, closing the
door and to prevent him from return
ing as he seemed determined to do,
threw stones at him, when George went
across the street, secured n shot gun.
came back and shot Clingan, the
charge entering his arm and shoulder
shortly afterwarl Mr.. Clingan left for
Great Falls for medical treatment.
Fortunately the injuries were not
severe. and the stage driver yesterday
brought in word that he was back at
tending to business, although carrying
his armit IA sling.
