This is the way an eastern paper puts it
when man is arrested for drunkenness:

rnazoo: "The Woolsey wheel factory, Of
Sandusky, O., employing $50 men, have de-
cided to move their plant here next spring.

celery yraised.-GoodalPs Sun.
George Washington Sheridan, whose
maiden name was simply Charley before
the railroad came, was yesterday engaged
in cutting ice. The opening from which
the ice was taken did not freeze last even
ing more than an inch, and to-day COW
belonging to Col. Rice, in search of water
went under. She was seen by parties
from the street who went to her rescue.
This is the second instance and parties
having stock running at large in town
should look after them and see that they
are waterGd.
Mr. Daye Morrow came in town yester

broke both to double and single harness,
and is now in fine condition. Mr.. Morrow

a subscription was taken up sometime

as the necessaries of life are concerned,
but that he has been confined to his bed
from sickness the past three days. The

The winter of discomfort of the stock
keepers and statesmen employed in the
handsome dry goods departments of this
city, who have been so actively engaged
in that tiresome, monotonous business of
stock taking since the commencement of
the new year, will soon be over, as their
work is nearly ended. There is not sin
gle article in this branch Of business from
the largest roll of dress goods to the
smallest cambria needle, that has not
been overhauled. Frills, ruffies, ribbons
and bustles have all shared alike the
rough or gentle handling as the moods
Of the clerks might suggest Old goods
are showed back and new ones take their
places, and the spectator upon entering
these stores, either from idle curiosity or
to make purchase, cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with their neat, clean and attrac-
tive appearance.
Thomas Moss, who has been employed
as workman upon the bridge at Great
Falls, was yesterday evening arrested by
Deputy Sheriff AL Rowe upon circum-
stantial evidence of being insane and
lodged in jail to await an Investigation.
From his own statement, it appears he has
a wife and child in Great Falls, and that
the wife has been trying to procure a di
vorce, which seems to be the cause of the
trouble. He walked from the Falls to
this place, being afraid to ride on the cars
for fear they would run off the track and
kill him. While stopping at the Overland
hotel, and after retiring for the night, he
imagined there was door behind the bed
through which some one would enter to
kill him, and was removed to another
room. When locked up last evening, he
said that Mr.. Rowe was nice gentleman
and requested Mr. McNaught to put
them both in Jail together, as he was
afraid to stay by himself.
