enterprises.

ing in the FREE Press and we commend
them. to our patrons as personally
known to us to be a perfectly reliable
| firm to deal with.

california Dick" who was mention
ed in the Mtssoulian as being arrested
and tried as to his sanity. was again ta-
ken up by the police early Yesterday
morning in very drunken condition.
He was brought before Judge Evans,
who sentenced him to ten days work on
the streets, his sentence to be commuted
If he left town within ten hours. This

acter for awhile at least. Missoulian.

Our old friend Sutherland, with whom
We toted blankets over the snowy noun
tains of Cnur d'Alene in the winter of
1874, was here last week from the south
fork of Salmon river. where he has To-
Gated ranch and intends to build
bridge this winter at the old Solon Hall
crossing to accommodate the travel to
and from Alton district. The bridge
will have span of sixty feet and will
be eight feet wide-ample enough to
cross pack trains. Sutherland discover
ed the Sunset mine, in Carbon district,
C@ur d'Alene, and which sold to Butte
parties for 1000. Unfortunately for
Sutherland, he had given his partner
power of attorney to make the sale.
and the wicked partner skipped out
with all of the proceeds except $1,000,
so Sutherland is out and injured. He
is interested in quartz in the Alton and
Monumental creek districts in this
county, and will in all probability make
another fortune before long. Our pray
ers are with him.
