more than exceeds his expectations.
1t was SO in the shade at o'clock this

lemonade is in request. .. 4..
Maps of the Omaha line which are dis
played in town show projected railroad

Phil Chamberlain, Dan Condor, J. G.

prospecting trip. They will be gone
probably month and perhaps longer II
they succeed in striking it." We wish
them every success.
J.P. Tracy, the popular and efficient
representative of Rosenbaum Bros. & Co.,
Chicago, is in town. He says that the
Chicago stock market is better. He finds
the grass abundant and thick, and says
the Montana cattle will be fatter than
those Of any former year. He expects to
do large business in this region.
Attention is called to the advertisement
of William Deering and Co., the cele-
brated manufacturers Of farming imple-
ments near Chicago, ILL.,, and who are
represented here by Mr.. @. Q. Ray. We
understand it is abe intention of the COM
pany to erect large establishment here
and to make Great Falls their headquar-
tiers in the new Northwest for the distri-
button of farming machinery.
A former resident of Benton and a
hardware man were dining at the Park
las year. The eX-Benton merchant OBJ
served that there would be few or no
: boats on the Upper Missouri next season.
This caused Bentonite who was there
to wax wroth and he observed after the
other had left that on has become as
great fool as any Of them since he left
Benton" M now thinks If the unknown
would appear that it would be funny to
compare notes on the arrivals in the port
st -tistics: Arrivals at Benton, two steam,
ers; water fourteen inches lower than
last season, and likely to be lower still in
few weeks. M,"4s. ..@.
Sheriff Downing has received word
from Sheriff Hathaway Of the escape or
, Sunday of George Godas, the half-breed
murderer, and two burglars named Davis
, and Wilson. They left the county jail
, without leave on Sunday. The manner
of their escape was daring and incredible
They cut hole through the iron floor o!
the cell next to. the east wall of the jai
on the south side of the cage, dug away

the jsil yard. Thence they easily made
their escape into the streets, and from
T there no one knows where. They were
in the Jail when breakfast was served
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock and were
/ gone at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t il
supposed they took advantage of thu
preaching that was going on in the jai
between 10 and / o'clock, when the guart
and prisoners were attending the services
: to make their flight. The work had evi
IDENTIFY been done the night or day before
Sheriff Hathaway telegraphed the de
scription of the prisoners in every dlrec
ton and sent out 20 mounted deputies t,

, their recapture and if there is any virtu
in promptness and dispatch, will succeed
, In addition he offers reward of 500
,, for Godas and 800 each for the othe
two. The governor will also offer a stronl
reward-probably 5000 to $500 each. Ev
cry nerve will be strained to recaptur'
the fugitives. Godas, the half breed, wa
under sentence to be hanged the 10th o
next month, but his case has been ap
pealed and is now in the supreme cour
on motion for new trial, which, it i
thought on the outside, would be granted
