made. according to general manager Shell
by's Waterbury chronometer, in fifty sec
ends, or at the rate of seventy-two miles
per hour. And so smooth was the track
that not cup of coffee or a bumper of
wine was lost. The remarkable record
was accounted for on the ground that the
iron used was fifteen-p0und rails laid on
oak ties, 5000 to the mile, on rocky bed
most of the way and all we'll ballasted and
surfaced. Sand Coulee coal was used for
generating steam. This trial trip Of speed
is sufficient to give good guarantee that
when the Wickes tunnel is completed
the time between Helena and Bftte can
easily be shortened to two hours and forty
minutes. The train did not stop here.
The many friends Of William Mulcahy
whose death has been already announced
in these columns, express deep regret for
him. Mr. Mulcahy was born in New
York, March ~, I841 while his parents
were on a visit to that city. They took him
back with them to the Isle Of Man where
they all stayed until he was four years
old when all returned to New York and
made it their home. He joined the union
army during the war and won distinction
in the field. He subsequently settled in
north Montana, acquired land at Sun
River and Truly, and engaged largely in
the cattle business. He married about
siyyears ago Miss Bray Of Craig who sur
wives him with two children. Mr. Mul-
,cahy was an honorable, trustworthy man,
who was held in high esteem by his
neighbors and friends, many Of whom
followed his remains to the grave on
Tuesday at Sun River, where the Odd
Fellows united in paying honor to their
departed brother.
