A very important parsonage, in the person
Of Choking Glass;" a Grow brave, arrived
in town on Friday night last. For the past
three years he has been in Deer Lodge, at
the Pen, on account Of his unconquerable
desire to kill cattle belonging to others, but
was recently discharged. He walked the
whole distance from Deer Lodge to this
valley, a short distance from this city. Here
he was furnished lodgings in a house, the
first he had received on his trip, and was
brought to town in a wagon. He went to a
citizen here whom he knew and received his
supper, and soon after, while his friend was
out, started without taking his leave for the

We mentioned a few days ago that Cans &
Klein, of this city, had received a small con-
signment of buffalo robes from a person who
had kept them out of the market for the past
seven or eight years. There were fifteen
well-dressed, full-haired, whole robes, or
"head and tail" robes. as they used to be
called. We were informed that they had
received an offer of $40 each for the fifteen
robes. Ten or eleven years ago the average
buffalo robe was a drug on the market at
from $3.50 to So, and choice robes from 81 to
50 each in lots. What a speculation there
was in buying robes at that time and holding
them! But it is hard to tell what the future
will bring forth, and non Of us invested our
loose change that way.-Rirer Press,
