HELENA, Mont, Correspondence of the
LEADER, Aug. 26, 1889. The city of Hell
ena is enveloped in smoke so dense that
it is almost impossible to see across the
street. Forest fires west of the main
range of mountains and strong wind
from that direction causes the present
darkness. >,
Work on the sewer bitches and street t
grading is progressing. There are only a
few streets in the city that are navigable
for wagons now.
A great many strangers are in the city |
waiting for the fair next week, which
promises to be the largest ever held in
the territory.
The hotel Broadwater was opened
to the public today. Everybody in town
went out to view the grandest of the
grand hotels.
Mrs. c. L. Kemp, of this city, who was
found dead in the water ditch OH Friday
morning, had been on the verge of insan-
ity for some time and it is supposed she
wandered off and finding the water of
sufficient depth ended her life by drown
ing herself. She attempted suicide sew
eral years ago and, in struggle with her
daughter who was trying to take revol-
yer from her, the daughter was accident
ally shot and killed.
The schools of Helena commence on
Monday next.
Some time ago there was considerable
talk about a mammoth hotel going to be
built by Sam Hauser and the Northern
Pacific railroad company. but it is now
said that the bottom has dropped out OF
the project, the N. P. refusing to be a
party to the enterprise.
The democratic state convention at
Anaconda will put a ticket in the field to
be scooped. All Of the old boodlers and
wire-pullers are on the ground and
HI of time is anticipated by the
thirsty.
The democratic boodlers, kickers and
| FOUNDERS to the number of about thirty,
who assembled In county convention in
Harmonic Beer hall last Thursday, were
sorrowful looking crew, but they alb
sorbed "ardent" enough to get properly
enthoozed for the OCCASION. The only
thing they did was to get up a t1gh'
among themselves about what was tht
best thing to do to Aarmonize the boys
After considerable loud talk and grea
u deal of profanity list Of delegates to th'
= democratic state convention was selected
headed by Hauser, Broadwater' Tool
- and Maginnis. After this the conclav
took a recess until 7 o'clock for drinks
:, refreshments, etc. On re-assembling q
o'clock the saloon was cleared OF al
IT, outsidsrs none but delegates being al
lowed in the room. President Knigh
told the boys that there was not demo
crat in the city that would take any G
the county nominations, owing to tn
sure defeat that was in store for then
II and the fact that the Doodle leaders OF tn
IL marty we're at war with each other. Il
thought it would be best to adjourn tn
mob until the following Monday at
o'clock, which was accordingly don
John shober kicked with all his migt
apainst the "high-handed outrage" b'
he was only laughed at by the ring roos
ers. There is a general howl all alor
the line over the "put up job" and 1t
