How will Great Falls celebrate the
Washington centennial? In addition to
the church service there ought to be
public meeting with one "long talk" and
many "short talks" Soma patriotic rec
itations would also add to the public en-
tertainment If some Helena and Ben
ton friends come and join it so much the
better. The whole celebration can be got
up without expense or labor.
Judge Bywaters, who is one of the old
timers in this section, says that the spring
of 1881 was very like the present one.
From March until May there was no rain.
He sowed wheat in April and it did not
come up until the list Of June. After the
latter date, however, there were abun-
dant rains and his crop was an excellent
one. He expects to see like results this
year. 1t is still early in the season and
according to Judge Bywaters' belief there
will be plenty of rain in the next few
weeks.
In Judge Hugs court today an old wo-
man who gave her name as Kitty Doe
was charged with stealing some rubber
shoes from Harry Dickinson. The com
plainant said: "She made her home at my
place for some time. Burt Huy left these
overshoes IN my charge. Kitty was
round the place when the SHOES were
left there. There was free access to the
hall where the shoes were. | cannot
swear that the defendant took them from
my place, but believe so. found them
at house near the brickyard. l found
there also pair of blankets and other
things that l own. Mr.. Leslie objected
He said that the testimony should be linz
tied to the complaint which had been
changed by Mr.. Taylor since yesterday.
Mr. Taylor said it was circumstantal evi-
dence he wished to offer. Judge Huy
admitted it. Mrs. Kukoles said the shoes
were brought into her house by Kitty
Doe who found them in the yard at the
Kingsbury block, in the rubbish heap in
the yard. Kitty Doe testified herself to
the same effect and said that all the other
articles were her own and not Dickinson's.
However, Kitty was fined $40 costs,
