PAYING UP.
T.. w Lester Paying Up All Of His Various
Bills.

Although he has apparently not worried
. great deal over the matter, e. W. Lester
wore an unusually happy smile yesterday
afternoon when he met a MINER reporter
and informed him that he was paying all OF
his bills and would see the end OF his
troubles to-day.
To the question who was advancing the
money, he replied that Sheriff Lloyd had
received a telegram from Sheriff Sexton Of
New York requesting him to advance the
needed money and send a statement of the
amount and a draft for the advance would
be returned by mail. This statement Mr..
Lloyd eorroborated and showed q number
OF bills which Lester had endorsed as cor
rect and which had been paid. Mr.. Lloyd
stated further that he would pay all bills
which Lester would endorse and forward
them as requested and allow Mr.. Sexton
to settle the matter with Testers father,
for whom Sexton was acting.
Thus three days wonder is drawing to
a close and the press and public are wait.
ing for the next sensation.

parched and the roads are like ashes and
crops nave suffered, but the present rainfall
will save the crops. At Oriska, Dakota,
about four inches of snow fell during this
morning and it rained during the rest OF the
day. The water is standing in pools all
over the fields. Watertown, Dak., reports
the heaviest rainfall Of the season. At
Millba nk, Oak, it has been raining hard for

Eyictions in Minnesota.

SR PAUL, May IA determined effort
is to be made in few days to eyict the
Polish and Bohemian squatters on what
are known as the Upper Flats" Papers
are now being prepared and 1000 people
will be evicted. This will sweep the fats Of
squatters, and they will be then used ior
manufacturing and warehouse purposes, for
which uses they are very valuable. some
of the squatters have asserted squatters'
rights. which give them title after twenty
wears of residence, and it is probable there
will be trouble if an attempt to evict them
be made.

STATESMEN
SILVER Rows DELEGATION 70 THE
CONSTITUTI0NAL CONVENTION.

List Of the Gentlemen who are to aid in
Framing q Government Under which
the Residents of Montana will be Re
quired to lLive-The News from Other
Portions of the Territory.
Tuesday was an eventful day through
out the territory of Montana, and espe.
cially in Butte City. It was the day set
apart by the congress OF the United States
upon which the sovereign voters OF this great
territory were to choose delegates to frame
a constitution, which is one OF the condi-
tions To secure statehood under the act OF
congress known as the Omnibus" bill,
which provided, under certain conditions,
for the admission of the two .Dakotas,
Washington and Montana into the Union
states. As a condition precedent, the
bill required that constitutions should be
and subsequently ratified by a
popular vote, ard that then, by executive
proclamation, without further ceremony
each Of the aspirants should add its star
to the galaxy that now adorns the
blue 6eld of the national colors.
10 accordance with the law the people Of
the Territory of Montana yesterday ex-
their preferences at the polls for
delegates. To the credit OF tie voters of
Butte, be it said, that party politics cut but
little figure. 1t was a choice OF men With
out regard to political preferment. All
the voters asked Of the man for whom they
cast their suffrages was that he bad hon
ssty OF purpose and ability to express it.
The result at once vindicates the intelli-
yence Of the voters and proceedings OF the
will surely demonstrate that
acted wisely. The only possible party
that could or rather can be OBJ
tained in the coming convention is the ap-
OF the legislative districts, and
it is hardly possible that even the most
pronounced partizan, in either party, who
may he elected, will attempt to do any
thing in the line OF using his position at the
of the community,

THE Army and Nary Register says
President Cleveland's tribute in his
annual message to General Sheridan
will perhaps surprise those who are
not aware what a high regard Mr..
Cleveland cherished for the lamented
commander of tho Army. Their rela-
tions for some time prior 10 General
Sheridan's death were those of strong
personal friendship, which was based
on the great respect each had come to
entertain for the character of the 9TH
er. The following is the passage re-
ferred to: " The death of General
Sheridan in August last was nation
al afiiiction. The army then lost the
grandest of its chiefs. The country
lost brave and experienced soldier, a
wise and discreet counselor, and a
mode st and sensible man. Those who
in any manner came within the range
OF his personal association will never
fail to pay deserved and willing hom-
age to his greatness and the glory of
his career; but they will cherish
with more tender sensibility the low
ing memory of this simple, generous
and considerate life."

Rocky Mountains. Her wonderful re.
