RAILROAD RuMBLES,

The Northern Pacific have removed their
car repairers and oilers from Bozeman to
Livingston. Trains from Helena now run
through to Livingston without oiling or in
spection.
Three surveying parties are now at work
on the line between Boulder and Three
Forks, the 38-mile piece of road by which
the Northern Pacific will have direct out
let from Butte east. The Company is doing
People riding on the N. P. r. R. between
Helena and Marysville Junction are perfect
ly protected against any runaway train going
down the east side of the mountain. The
Block system, (the only place we know of in
Montana) is in use there, and a runaway
would be diverted to the Marysvi]le branch
where it would soon get tired climbing up
the Drum Lummon golden stair.
The Northern Pacific and Drummond &
Philipsburg companies, if they are not all
the same, could do a great benefit to the
people of this County by having the d. & P.
passenger trains run up to Garrison and con-
meet with the Butte & Helena express in
stead of giving everybody for or from this
part of the county long layover at Drum
mond. The present schedule and detentions
work great hardships. The change should
be made Immediately. The term of Court
here and that, including the IS. Court, to
be held in Butte soon, renders this highly
desirable. When the railroad management
reflects that stage line is soon to be put on
between Anaconda and Philipsburg to COM
pete with it., unless better service is given,
it will see that the present delays are a seri-
Qns grievance.

man living in the Northwest. This person is
Patrick Clark, who for the past two years
has been an inmate of the county poor house
and has been all the time able to do light
work around the house and garden. In fact
has insisted that he should be allowed to
work more than Mr.. Holmes, who is in
charge of the farm, would permit him to do.
He also practices the most rigid economy,
and the suit of clothes and many other arti-
cles Mr.. Holmes has purchased for him for
the services he has rendered lie untouched,
while his old clothes he keeps scrupulously
clean and mends whenever the slightest rent
appears. Mr.. Holmes informed us that Clark
never fails to reprimand his associates when
they are wasteful, in his opinion, and if they
complain Of their surroundings, as many are
inclined to do, and would not do otherwise
If they were furnished the best in the land,
Clark is not slow to speak his mind, and gen.
orally informs them that they are getting
more than they deserve. II 4
Mr.. Clark was born in County Galway, Ire.
land, on the 10th of August 1880, and is
therefore over 107 years of age. He came to
the United States in 1851, and first settled
with two sisters In Lowell, Mass, and from
thence removed to Missouri, whence he re-
moved to Nebraska, and finally settling in
Montana about 1864. He was first engaged
in the freighting business, and then for
time was at Bannack City in the mercantile
business. from which place he removed to
the Gallatin valley about 1870, and has re-
mained here ever since. Feeling his age at
last, he concluded to find quiet, comforta.
BILE place, in which to pass the remainder of
his life, and so came to Charlie Holmes who
takes the tenderest care Of the centenarian,
and he wants for nothing.
Mr.. Clark was in the Daniel O'Connell up
rising of 1858, and both he and his father
were sentenced to transportation to Botany
Bay. The sentence of the elder Clark was
carried out, and he served seven years-his
full term. His son, however, was more for
tunate, being saved from a similar fate by a
Miss O'Flaherty, daughter of a Captain in
the British army, and an attendant upon the
Queen, who interceded in his behalf because
the elder Clark had once saved her fathers
life. Mr.. Clark was never in the army, being
considered too old at the commencement of
the war to enlist, but his son John, the only
child he has, who is now an inmate of the
insane asylum of this Territory, was drafted
while living in Missouri He succeeded in
getting away, however, and in company with
his father fled westward.

WAS 1T SUICIDE OR MURDER Z
The Body of James Jones Found Near
Pioneer,

Mr., VIM. Brent telegraphed Sheriff Cole
man last evening that the body of James
Jones had been found hanging with a rope
(by the neck) to tree, about miles above
Pioneer, on Gold Creek, with body partially
on the ground and marks, as if of violence,
on the head and face. Jones had been pros
pecting in that vicinity for year and half
past, and had cabin within about mile
and half of where he was found. He had
not been seen since March 16, and search
ing party going out, found him as stated.
He had evidently been dead for two weeks.
The question is: Was it suicide or murder?
j. M. Hartwell, J. P. and Acting Coroner,
left for Pioneer between five and six o'clock
last evening with coffin, and the inquest
may develop some interesting facts.

The Territorial Grand Jury was empan-

charged, and selected James B. McMsster
Foreman.
Appearance and withdrawal of attorneys,
defaults entered, dismissals, continuances
and motions occupied the day.
Among matters of interest was the excus-
ing by Judge DeWolfe Of all jurors not full
citizens of the United States. This is done
upon an intimation of the Supreme Court of
Montana that juror must be a full citizen Of
the United States, and one only having de-
clared his intention, is ineligible. This, we
believe, is sound doctrine, and will be so
held by the courts if it ever comes to issue.
In the summoning of Jurors III this District
it would be well to bear this in mind.

pears that the Newspapers and Periodicals
Of all kinds issued in the United States and
Canada, now number 16,310, showing gain
of $50 during the last - months, and of 7,136
in 10 years.
The publishers of the Directory assert that
the impression that when the proprietor of a
newspaper undertakes to state what has been
his exact circulation, he does not generally
tell the truth is an erroneus one; and they
conspicuously offer a reward of 500 for every
instance in their book for this year, where it
can be shown that the detailed report re-
ceived from publisher was untrue.
