THE ISLANDER SUIT.

A man named Dart had circulated abou,
the neighborhood that "Mr Armstrong had
stolen the negro" or something of that sort
Mr.. A sued Dart for SANDER and recovered a
Judgment for $500. He RENTED all but $50,
enough to pay the costs, but in the end Mr..
A. had to pay the costs himself. That cured
him of taking legal steps against defamers of
character. He says; "lf people want to abuse
me, let 'em fire away"

NEW GOODS.
CAR LOAD LOTS.

Last Thursday we received car load
of new goods. We should have been
glad to have held for the ladies what
might be termed, an Eastern Opening"
But freights are SO uncertain, that they
come on us unexpectedly, and we have
to forego the pleasure of opening days.
We have placed this large lot of early
spring goods on our shelves, and shall
take great pleasure in showing them.
The new goods comprise a portion of
nearly every department in our store,
and we are sure that they have been
selected with such care and good judg-
ment that they cannot fail to please the
most careful and f,stidious buyer, and
although manufacturers prices have al
yanced on nearly everything, we are
marking our goods, by reason of the
STRICTLY CASH system lower than
ever before. Everything is coming
forward with dispatch and in very
short time we shall be able to show as
complete stock-and of the best makes
and fabrics-as can be found west of st.
Paul. Almost every day we shall be
opening something new, and we respect
fully invite careful inspection of both
goods and prices, whether ready to buy
or not.

Astonishing Success.

tits the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact, all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of drug
gists to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle
as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where 1T failed
was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottle to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size, 70 cents. Sold by all drug
gists and dealers, in the United States
and Canada.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
]. 8. Parks has an Encounter with Des-
perate Thief in the Dark.

On Thursday night last about half past
eleven o'clock, immediately after band
practice, Prof. Parks, leader of the band,
repaired to the office of the Flanders'
lumber company of which he is in charge,
to ascertain whether or not he ha lock-
ed the safe. On entering the office he
heard noise in the warehouse in the
rear, where all the sash and doors are
kept. Without thinking to pick up his
gun which was at hand, he ran to the
door and seeing the entrance to the
warehouse open, rushed in there. He
was met at the door by man who i'm
mediately grappled with him and in the
fight hit Parks over the head with a
revolver. He then tried to fire the gun
and after two unsuccessful efforts during
which time Mr.. Parks also seized the
pistol, it was discharged, the bullet
twenty two, passing through Parks hat
about an eight of an inch from his tenn.
pie and so close was the pistol held that
the hat was powder burned. After fur
their scuflling the gun was again discharg-
ed. the bullet this time passing through
the fleshy part of Parks right arm, rend,
er:ng it useless. When isshot was fired
Parks had his arm around his asssilants
neck and was forced to let 60 whereupon
the man took to his heels and ran in the
direction of Aid, McKenzie's blacksmith
shop, and WAS afterwards heard to pass
! Kay's house.
Mr.. Parks says it was impossible to re-
cognize the man who was of large stature,
had heavy beared and wore slouch
hat, and that during the fight his antag
onist lid not utter word.
After following the man short dis
tance Mr.. Parks sought the nightwatch.
man who with the Marshal made a
thorough examination of the premises
without finding clue that would lead to
the identity of the robber or whatever
he may be, and SO the mystery still re.
mains.
An examination of the premises next
morning revealed two tracks made in the
new ice, one of a large foot and the other
much smaller; but as number of peo
pie lad visited the scene the night be.
fore it is possible that these tracks were
made by some of them.
Mr.. Parks can congratulate himself up
on his narrow escape as his wound were
SO slight as to permit him to be ou

Mr. Parks thinks that the theft, if sucl
he was, was novice at The business ant
had never been in the place before, as i
: offered any number of hiding places. 1
is probable that the man, and his con
fedente, If such be had, will be able t,

BOHEMIAN REPUBLICANS
Preparing for the Spring Campaign. The
Prohibs and Anti-oity Hallites Take
First Blood in the Fourth Ward.

At the Republican primaries on Satur-
day night the following named citizens
were placed in nomination for aldermen
IN the various wards and the following
named citizens were elected delegates
to the city convention, which meets on
Monday next.
First ward-Ald. Meadow was cndors-
ed by the caucus and no one named in op-
position. Delegates-W. J. Eastman, S,
w. Cook, Archie Mcdonald, Gus steiiins
and Arthur Elliott.
Second ward-J. Libby, alderman.
Delegates-Lars Anderson, j. Libby
Fred Buchler, DIR. Whitefoot and Henry
G. Rice.
Third ward-F. L. Benepe, alderman.
Delegates-F. L. Benepe, Jos. Radford,
F. Nesbitt, Chas Moger and Geo. Nichols.
Fourth ward-Dr. Tudor, alderman.
Delegates-Gus. Cottschalk, j. Mendel-
shon, Dr. Tudor, Il. Cleveland and D. G.
Campbell.
The greatest interest seemed to center
in the third ward where large crowd
had gathered and voted with unanimity
ofpurpose that smacked slightly of slate
work. When the vote for delegates was
concluded Geo. Nichels who carris both
the Republicans and Prohibition vote
(which ever is needed) of this ward in
the pocket of his jeans, smiled smile.
1t was Georges day to smile. While
George was thus busily engaged, Nelson
Story was wrapt IN deep meditation.
Down the dim vista of years he saw
the dim outlines of the U. s. Senate it
was very dim view but it was there
just the same.
Notwithstanding the results OF the
third ward primaries there is no doubt
but that the Republican city ticket will
be as followa:
Mayor-J V, Bogert.
City Attorney-J. L. Stats.
Treasurer and Ccllector-Phil. Dodson.
Marshall. P. Clark.
Police Magistrate--Geo.B Budd.
Fifteen of the delegates are for Clarke,
first last and all the time and greater
number for Bogert although it is propos-
ed at this time to bring out opposition
candidates to both-a plan which will
undoubtedly be abandoned after COM
promise is made between the two dis
turbing elements of the party.
The Republicans of the first ward paid
high tribute to the worth of VIM. Nc
Adow who has been in the council
number of years and has fully demonstra-
ed his ability to act wisely and for the
best interest of the city. The fact that
Mr.. Meadow is a staunch Democrat cut
no figure in the matter. He had served
his constituents well and the Republican
portion thereof were not ungrateful.
We await with anxiety for the Repub-
lican city convention when the oppos-
ing elements are brought together. If
the Prohibition wing was only little
stronger in the convention, we could
safely predict that a monkey and par
rot time was in waiting.

T.J. Heinderich, who once lived in
Bozsman as many well remember, ap.
pears before the bar of justice in Helena
and asks that the bonds of matrimony
existing between himself and a person
whom he designates as Bridget be sew
cred He says that Bridget is never at
home to get him his meals, and that
when she does appear she is "heeled"
in such manner as to make it extreme
ly dangerous for him to come within
four blocks of the house. Heinderich
saws that under such circumstances mar
ried life is not surrounded with that
roseate hue his fancy painted. The hue
seems to be there, but Heinderich does
not enjoy the vigorous manner in which
his Bridget uses the brush, therefore he
wants to become single again.
