True to His Love.


"E'en in death I'll think Of thee," is a
poetical saying which was exemplifed in
the case of a young Ruby ranchman the
other day, when he was caught out in a
storm, and, after wading through the deep
snow drifts till utterly exhausted. took off
his watch and chain, and handing it to
his more sturdy companion, said: 'Here
Curt; guess you'll pull through. Give
the watch to the school ma'am. You can
keep the chain yourself" But we are
glad to say that Tom was not SO far gone
as he thought he was, and he again car
ries the watch and chain. We presume,
however, that he will buy the school
ma'am better -Madisonian.

SPORTING NOTES.
Choteau County's World Beaters En- Route
to Lexington, Kentucky.

Mr.. Daniel @. Bleyins arrived on last
nights train from Butte, and will shortly
take his departure for Lexington, KY
where he will put in training five Mon
tana horses which are entered for races at
different points east. Among the flyers
are Choteau county's world beaters, Dan
iel B and Ida Glen, whose records are
familiar to Montana people and will be
known to our eastern friends before the
racing season of 1888 closes.
Daniel B is years old next foaling day
18th Of June, 1888, and is the son Of
the renowned Glen Elm, owned by Mr..
Vim. Mulcahey, of Sun River, Montana
Ida Glen was also sired by Glen Elm, and
is six years old. Both of these animals
were bred and raised on the farm of Mr.
Mulcahey.
The other animals are: Nevada, three
year-old flley, which won the Pioneer
stakes at Helena last fall This animal
was sired by Regent and raised on the
farm of Con Kohrs & Beilenberg in Deer
Lodge county, Montana. Regent is son
of Montana Regent and Bonnie Austral-
ian. Montana Regent was considered
one Of the best horses in the United
States when he was on the turf. TX" is
the next on the list, tWo-year-old stall
lion also by Regent and dam by Spring
Box, and was also raised by Kohrs & Bic
lenberg. Arlee, two-year-old stallion
sired by Regent, and from the same stock
farm, closes the list.
The two last named, TX" and Arlee, are
entered extensively in stakes for two-year-
olds at Lexington, Kansas City, Chicago
and ST. Louis. Nevada is also entered for
the three-year-old stakes at the same
places. Daniel B and Ida Glen are also
entered for stakes in their class at Lex
ington, ST. Louis and other points.
All the animals above mentioned have
been in winter quarters on the HighWood,
near Fort Benton, and will be brought to
the city in a day or two to prepare them
for shipment east. They will leave here
over the Manitoba on or before the Goth
instant, in charge of Mr.. Blevins, who will
take them direct to Lexington, KY, and
superintend their training.
They will take part in the Lexington
races in May next and from there will
commence their travels around the racing
circuit. Mr. Isaac Morehouse, of Butte
Is interested with Mr.. Blevins in their
ownership.
Their stables will be known east as the
Montana Stables" In Helena, Butte
and Salt Lake the boys used to call Dams
flyers the "Sage Brush Outfit" That
proved to be not an inappropriate name, as
sage brush is sure cure for fever; and be-
sore Dan and his sage brush outfit got
through with them they were we'll cured
If their racing fever. We predict for Mr..
Bleyins and his Choteau county flyers
victory and national reputation.

tee has the only document that is regard
ed as a bill and it is stated that he is una
