The sad news of the death of Mrs. Jos.
A. Baker of Fort Benton has been received
here and awakens universal sorrow
,, among the many residents of this city who
were friends or acquaintances of the de-

from child birth fever, and was very much
of surprise as it was understood she was
rapidly recovering health and strength.
The deceased was the wife of Joseph A.
Baker, cashier of the First National bank
of Benton, and sister of the Messrs.
Conrad of that place. She was in the
prime of life and most estimable and
popular lady. The deepest regret is felt
here among the friends of the family at

probably be held tomorrow.

ed the compliment as not so much for
himself as for "that vast and glorious
section, the beef section, the wool section
and the grass section of Montana" Col
McCutcheon, they say, made strong
speech on the issues of the day. Mr..
Botkin was active in matters Of detail
and was the head of the committee on
resolutions. Lee Mantle, it appears, could
have had the nomination for delegate, but
declined it and then put forward 7. G.
Power without previons consultation with
him. Nlr. Power spoiled this plan by the
brief but emphatic words in which he de-
clined. During the recess Lee Mantle
and others induced T. H. Carter to run

the brethren and enjoyed their visit con-
