James B. Kellogg has arrived from the
Benton house of Murphy, Maclay & Co.
to act as book keeper with Mr.
Maclay here. The River Press
says: "Nlr Kellogg is not only the pos
SCISSOR of fine business qualifications but
has also natural ear for music, and will
be greatly missed in the social as well as
the business circles Of Benton, where we
hope in the near future to see his smiling
face again."
Captain Stouch says the four compan-
les will march from Shaw to Cascade to
board the train which will bring the col
ored troops from st. Paul. They are ex-
pected Saturday or Sunday by the Great
Falls route. The Fort Shaw troops will
start day before the train arrives and
will march the entire way. The distance
is about III miles. The troops may go
into camp if they arrive long in advance
Of the train. The march is deemed n
long one for the first day. In campaign
ing Captain Stoutch rays it is customary
to march 8 miles the first day and 10
miles the second day. After that better
time is made. In the advance on Gettys-
burg, Captain Stouch's troops marched
about 80 miles a day.
Jere Sullivan, relieved from the cares
OF office as mayor of Benton and invested
with the dignity Of delegate to the Liv-
ingston convention, arrived in town last
evening. Mr., Sullivan is reticent on the
political situation, but like the sailors
owl he does good deal of thinking. 1t
was suggested that he should act as
peacemaker among the republican breth-
ern here who have lately differed as to
party control, but he knows too well the
fate of umpires to undertake the hazard
Gus task. At Livingston the genial eX-
mayor will probably enter the convention
arm-in-arm with Dan Mckay, showing
how Choeau and Cascade are united de-
spite the efforts of the Choteau county
commissioners to fleece our people in or
der to add to the Choteau clip.
Those who have returned from Lewis
town state that the alleged counterfeiters
are to be tried here. Shepherd has been
indicted for murder in the first degree.
He will be released on providing $4,000
bail, The Burgess trial produced great
excitement. 1t lasted six days and the
jury were out thirty hours. He will APP
peal from the verdict under which the
least sentence would be imprisonment
for ten years. All speak highly of Judge
Bach who displayed learning and sound
judgment in dealing with the many
points raised during the trial of the
civil and criminal cases.
