Inc posters are out for . grand Fourth Of

The closing exercises of st. Mary's Acad-
envy will take place at Cottonwood Hall June
u, 1883. Guests on this occasion will please
present invitations at the door.
A great deal of matter interesting to citi-
zens of different localities concerning roads
appears in this issue, these matters having
occupied much time at the recent meeting.
Quite a number Of young ladies and gen.
tlemen OF town went out yesterday on a pic
mic excursion to Dempsey Creek Canyon.
They had a delightful day and a delightful
time. .
A few days ago Frank Dunton, of Deer
Lodge, caught two young gray eagles in
their nest on Peterson Creek and is tanning
them. They are now about the size of an
ordinary rooster.
Farron's "soap Bubble" company had a
fine house Wednesday evening, and the audi
ence laughed itself tired. There is nothing
in the piece but uproarious fun and good sing
ing, but there is plenty of that and it will be
enjoyed everywhere. r
1t has been decided, as will be seen by the
Commissioners proceedings, to put in a
bridge across the He'll Gate opposite or q
little above Garrison and run the road
thence all the way on the left bank of the
stream to Deer Lodge. This is much the
better plan, as it will avoid all fording and
render road communication between the
towns much more certain. ~ ~
In a land contest between E.. Curtis and
James G. Barndon for possession of a tract of
land near Avon. evidence was taken before
| Judge Emerson this week. o. B. O'Bannon,
Esq, appeared for Mr.. Curtis, and Jno. W.
Eddy, Esq, of Helena, appeared for MI.
Barndon. The testimony will be presented
before the Register and Receiver of the q.
s. Land Office at Helena for decision.
MI. John O'Neill has purchased the North
western hotel at South Butte and taken pos
session. Agent E. c. Lame has resigned his
position and tomorrow will 60 to Butte and
| take charge of the "Northwestern," which is
the Montana Union R. r. hotel at South
Butte. MI. O'Neill is thus proprietor of all
hotels on the line Of the road, and if the
train crews don't keep fat it will be all his
fault.
Tramps are infesting towns, highways and
| railroads to a great degree just now. No
| very serious criminal acts have been attrib-
uted to them in this vicinity yet. the season
being pleasant and out door life preferable
to prison, but they are a cumming nuisance
and menace everywhere, and not least to

of box car the other day and the same
evening three were put off the brake beams
of . passenger train. NJ. u~*M..
The progress of building on Main Street
this week has been rapid, and old wooden
b~uildings-the landmarks Of twenty years
being torn down to give way to heavy ma
sorry is q gratifying sign of the times.
| O'NeilIs work has been the most noticeable,
but the splendid iron front going up at
Kleinschmidt's that is to extend 12O feet is
the pleasantest to the eye and promise Of
what the block will look like when finished.
We learn Mrs. Kenyon will also build as
soon as some of the new buildings can be &C.
cupied, and Aylesworth 8 Mcfarland are
thinking seriously Of adding largely to their
already big hotel.

The Commissioners at their last meeting
declined to pay the salary Of Deputy District
Clerk Napton at the rate of $1,000 per annum,
the law providing that the Clerk of the Dis
trict Court at Deer Lodge, but not the Dep
utv clerk, should receive that amount. A
portion Of the salary of Deputy Galbraith
was also disallowed. When the law was en-
acted the Clerk of the District resided in this
county and it was formed accordingly. Now
F., that the District Court has been emoved to
Butte, with a deputy here, the Commits
sioners hold that they can only ALLOW a dep
uties compensation. Mr.. Napton declined
the salary profEered at the rate of $500 per
aunum and will contest the action of the
Commissioners. The trouble arises from the
statute. which did not contemplate any
change of residence CT the clerks, and ap
plies Just the anne in other counties where a
change may be made.
