Burglary.

On Wednesday morning Gus. Gott-
schalk was somewhat surprised to find
that the lock on the front door of his
place of business had been tampered
with, the back door wide open, and a
hole cut through the intermediate door
of his armory. Investigation develops d
the fact that thieves had entered his
store during the night, by removing the
glass from back window, then cutting
hole through another door with a
pocket knife sufficiently large to get a
hand through and unbolt the door. The
lock on the front door had then been
unscrewed to enable the thieves to make
easy egress through the front or rear in
case of an alarm. An invoice of goods
shows that, at least, two revolvers
were taken, together with knives and
other goods that will make up loss of
about $75. 1t is strange that the thieves,
after taking so much trouble to effect an
entrance, did not carry away more booty.
1t is evident that the thief or thieves
were familiar with the store, or had at
least visited it before making the raid,
or they would not have known enough
to cut a hole in the door so near the bolt,
which they must have known was the
only fastening on the door. Two burg
laries have been committed this year,
and both have been in gun stores.
There must be fascination in this sort
of stealing.

The Canadian Pacific Coming.

A young man representing the Cana
dian Pacific railroad arrived in Bozeman
last Tuesday, and on Wednesday was
taken to the Esler coal mine and the
coal properties of Timberline. All these
properties he visited and investigated,
for what reason IS not known; but it is
suspected that he has been sent out by
his company to examine the coal prop
critics in this part of the country, with a
view of ascertaining their merit and
extending the Canadian Pacific to Mon
tana. The Canadian Pacific people evil
IDENTIFY believe that they have the larg.
est and best body of coal IN the West,
and they are now, no doubt, looking up
q market for it which they can supply
with their own road. The representa-
tive admitted that his experience with
coal mines had been confined to flat
veins, and he was unable to give an
opinion on the mines of this section,
which are of different nature. He ex.
aminined with great care the Sand
Coulee mines and talks very intelligently
on them, corroberating the testimony
of Jack Anderson and other experts,
sent some time ago by the Northern
Pacific Coal company to investigate and
report on the mines of that district.

Two Young Ladies' Wish to Exchange
Letters.

lors who have plenty of this worlds

never yet gotten up sufficient courage to
attend to this important matter. The
fame of the Gallatin young men has
spread far beyond the confines of our

bluegrass region,
"In gallus old Kentucky, where the
grass is very blue;
Where the liquor is the smoothest, and

the finest in the land"

ed letter from two young Kentucky
ladies residing at Paducah. They haye
written with the view of corresponding
with gentlemen in this valley and terri
tory, and, having read the wonderful
accounts of this valley IN the CHRONICLE,
they have longing desire to become
residents thereof, and hence they en-
close the following notice, duly signed,
with their addresses:

The marriage of Rev. II. Clay Fleenor
to Mis- Katie Caldwell was solemnized at
the residence of Hon. John Robinson,
at Albrino Park Farm, this county, on
Wednesday last By Rev. B. H. Warren,

congratulate each on the wisdom of
their choice.
After the ceremony was concluded
Mr.. Robinson took the Young couple to
the door, and informed them that inso-
much as Mr.. Fleenor would have to
travel around great deal, he desired
that he should be able to do SO with

Willow Greek Notes.


WILLOW CREEK, June IA, 1888
Robinson Bros. have disposed of their
herd of cattle to Butte parties.
Mr.. Geo. Gordon has contracted his
strawberries TO parties from Butte at 20
cents per quart, throughout the straw
berry season.
Maggie, the eight year old daughter of
John and Rose Roberts, who was seri-
ously burnt by the upsetting of coffee
pot, is now able to attend school.
The stable of John Roberts was en-
tered week ago last Friday night, and
valuable horse and saddle and bride
were taken therefrom. The property
belonged to James Uhler. Mr.. Uhler is
rather ''out of luck" as this is the Sec
ond time within the past two years that
he has been relieved of a valuable horse !,
saddle and bride, without being con-
suited. A party Immediately organized
and started in pursuit. They trailed
the thieves as far as Red Bluff, when
the chase was given up. Judging from
the way the thieves "foxed" around the
hills, it is evident that they are not
strangers to the country. From the
course they were taking, 1t is thought
they were heading for the National Park
or Henry's Lake.
The grain crops of the valley all pre-
sent fine appearance, and we have
every reason to expect a beautiful har-
vest,
The outlook for the potato crop is any,
thing, but flattering since the pest known
as the potato bug" has made its appear

forth from the ground.
Our school-house is receiving its last
coat of paint. When finished, we can
brag of having one of the best school
houses in the county.
The sky is covered with clouds. Light
ming and thunder storms are everyday
occurrences, followed by copious show
ers of rain. So it is easily guessed why
the stockmen's faces are lit up with
broad smiles, and why the farmers wife
presents frown as she thinks of that
setting of eggs that is about to hatch,
and wonders If the thunder has de-
stroyed them.
The mountain rills are overlooking
their banks, and the indications are that
the waters have about reached their
highest, and we hope, ere another year
rolls by, the county will own all bridges
in the county.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

The New York Tiilmnc and other
high protcctionist Republican papers
have persistrntly declared that The tariff
agitation has drmoralizrd trade, espec-
tally the iron trade, which gives tone to
all others. So persistent have these
papers been that they have really made
people believe that the country is suffer
ing from dire stagnation, brought about
by tariff agitation. The facts of the
case are decidedly different from what
these journals would have lis believe.
The Railroad Age, the best authority on
this subject, emphatically contradicts
these statements, made for purely polit.
ical purposes, with an array of statistics
that must convince the most skeptlcal

THE EMPEROR Is DEAD,

The new Emperor, Frederick William,
is dead, after lorg illness. His death
has been expected for some time, owing
to a disease which deiied the best skill
of the physicians. During his short
reign, Frederick developed great ability
as a ruler, and made very favorable
impression on his German subjects.
Frederick William was born October
~, 1881; was married to Victoria, the
Princess Royal of England, January %,
1853. Their eldest son, who now be.
co mes Emperor, was born January 81,
1859, and is now in his 30th year. The
new. En- ,eror is regarded as second
Frederick the Great, as for as his war
policy is concerned and it is probable
that the pacific policy of Germany may
undergo change.
