The elegant badge presented to Warden

Hight & Fairfield, the skilled jewelers. of
Butte. Until otherwise informed, we had
supposed from the workmanship it had been
manufactured in the East.

The little child of Mr.. and Mrs. Menard,
which died Tuesday, had been ill for some
days before it was known the disease was
scarlet fever, and died in two or three days

ease, and no cases have preceded it here for
q long time. The other chi ldren of the fam
lily are in good health. m.m-. ..~

A statement has been going the rounds of
the Territorial papers that Henry Edmund
son, one of the notorious "Edmundson horse
thief gang" now undergoing sentence in the
penitent;ary for . long term, had been sent
to the insane asylum. There is absolutely
no foundation for the report. The genial
gentleman who loved horses ''not wisely but
too WE'LL" is still holding out at the old
stand.
We are in receipt of a communication from
one of the inmates of the United States
Prison thanking the officers of the prison
for their kindness to those incarcerated
therein. The expression is doubtless sincere
and deserved, but the writer occupies four
pages Of legal cap in saying what could bet
ter have been put in ten lines. Correspond
ents should study co%nciseness in writing to
find favor in the eyes of the printer.
Mail from the east, delivered to us We'd
nesday, indicated it had been in a railroad
wreck. where the mail car was probably on
fire. Aside from being crushed to shapeless-
ness, it was considerably burned-conditions
indicating as above. With the number Of
wrecks occurring these days, the wonder is
that anything gets through without looking
like that Garrison hotel safe John O'Neill
keeps exposed on his Sidewalk to aggrayate
Will. Bennett.
