NEWS NOTES AND MENTION.
John w. Dawson, Of Philipsburg, pitches
into the Rocky Mountain Telephone Go. At
. lively rate through the Mail. The remark
ableness of it consists in his paying for his
use of the paper At advertising rates. He is
the first citizen of Montsna we know of to
do this. The usual way, when one person
wants another person or association of per-
SONS shaken up, is to insist on the editor
giving the space, and generally, beside bor-
ing him to death about 1t, wanting him to
write it and father it. Dawson, thou art an
innovation and q jewel. May thy tribe in
crease.
GEORGE SusE.-In Dillon, Mont, March 5,
1888, at the law office of County Attorney
Barbour, by Justice Sam Estes, in the
presence of two United States witnesses,
and by the Christian marriage ceremony,
Mr.. Chinaman George and Miss China
woman Suse, both heathens of China
town. No cards.-DiNon Tribune.
The Acknowledged maiden swore, by George,
0AO ~ OuO VAO Nov ASVoS1
And meier disgrace their marriage queues,
So leaving George with no good excuse.
He up and married the maiden, Suse,
While she bade her other lovers adieux.
W. q. Dewitt, Esq, of Butte, one Of the
most ardent and expert disciples Of Isaak
Walton in Western Montana, wrote in Janu-
ary to the u. S. Fish Commission to ascer-
tain if it would furnish eggs Of the brook
trout to stock the waters of Western NJ on
tana, and received answer that if there were
facilities for Matching them here the eggs
would be supplied next season /; and further,
that the question was being agitated of es-
tablishing q batching station at Denver,
which, if done, would enable the young fish
to be forwarded. The trout referred to are
of the same species found in the A%dirondacks
and a superior trout in game and flavor to
the variety found in Montana. We trust
Mr.. DeWitt's project will be contaminated.
Major James B. Pond, the distinguished
Manager who engineered Henry Ward
Beecher on his ~lecturing tour through Mon
tana, has married his private Secretary, Miss
May Marian Glass. Congratulations, Major.
While you have only taken q Glass of the
ocean of bliss, she has captured the whole
Pond-and may the waters ever be sweet
unto both.
The Herald reports q poker game in Hell
ena Sunday night in which there were two
capitalists and two gamblers engaged, and
n report says there was $4,000 in the pot,
mostly dropped by the capitalists, and an
other that they dropped $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. It thinks it was the biggest
poker game ever played there. We cannot
understand these things. Why do they have
a "poker' and q spot" when they have a lit
tie social game with cards, and why do capt.
talists, who are accustomed to handling
money, "drop" $4,000 or $4,000, which
somebody is liable to pick up and take
away? Probably they have plenty more, but
We would think more care in not dropping
such sums, and leaving the handling of
''pots'' and 'pokers" to their domestics,
would be much better. Capitalists are likely
to get their fingers burned with such uten-
sils, and then people laugh at them, as they
certainly do when they "drop" large sums.
This is not the land described in the "MS

but it is written, and we'll written, by Ginx.

A somewhat unanticipated turn has been
taken in Missoula newspaper affairs. We
understood the Missoulian was to be sold to
the new company, but this week it comes
out with Harrison Spaulding as proprietor,
the Times having been merged into it. Mr..
Armstrong %retires, on account of ill health,
