Great care should be taken by settlers
to get their papers made right. Much
trovble arises from erriors. The advertis-
ing columns of the LEADER give the
names of several experienced land attor-
neys.
Lainie Higgs will be here in few
days prepared to push the beef packing
establishment. Mr.. Higgs' wife will be
with him. One Of the first to be packed
should be the fat porker that is running
the Benton Press-into the ground.
Frank P. Atkinson has constructed a
nobby map of Great Falls in wood. Each
block is so arranged that it can be lifted
out and the names Of the owners of each
lot written upon it. 1t deserves to be
patented. 1t resembles the raised maps
used by the blind.
A first class set of colonists are coming
here now, and there's many more to fol-
low. One writes as follows: II am 35
years old, and have wife, son and two
daughters. Politically, am republi-
can from "a to 1zzard;" religiously
speaking, a Presbyterian, but would
make a fair Methodistt physically, 40
sound as a dollar.
The LEADER sanctum was yesterday
favored with a cal from General Agent
Phil. Gibson, of the Burlington & North
ern railway, whose business is rapidly
extending throughout Northern Mon
tana. Phil is as gay as lark. He says
that quafing cocktails of Pacific breezes
and California port operate upon him like
the spring Of perennial youth.
w. w. Bennett, leader of that class of
men known as the sporting fraternity,
was married at Lewistown, Montana, on
the Goth inst. to Miss Parrot, charming
young belle Of that vicinity. Mr.. Ben
nett and bride arrived here by Wednes-
days stage from Lewistown, and de-
parted by yesterdays train for Buenos
Ayres, S. A., via New York city.
For some time past move has been
on foot among our friends, the enterpris
ing Catholics, to erect in this city hand
some Catholic church. In this they have
received the hearty corporation Of
others from distance. Suitable lots
have been donated for the purpose, and
to any we were informed that a large
amount has been subscribed and that
assoon as the weather would permit the
work of construction would commence.
Messrs. Webber and Vaughn Of Ida
smiled upon the LEADER sanctum yester-
day. Mr.. Webber is the young man in
charge Of Mr.. Thomas Couch's stock at
the Sun River ranch he recently bought
from Mr.. Robert Vaughn. Mr.. Vaughn
is a newphew of Robert and vigor-
Gus sample of Montana masculin-
ity. They are both in the matri
monial field, eligible to proposals. Who
bids? No postponement on account of
the warm weather.
Great Falls likes to make stir and on
every opportunity has speech-making
and blowout. Last week Russell Il.
Harrison passed through the city and dur
ing the few minutes he was there was
treated to a serenade by the band and re-
piled in speech, rs did John Mcguire,
who accompanied him. On Monday
President Broadwater treated the men,
bers of the legislature to Il free ride to
Great Falls and the people there treated
them most royalty. All of which goes to
show that the town is alive and means to
keep its name before the people as well
as making its guests pleased with their
visit.-Bozeman Chronicle.
On Wednesday evening last, IS our
readers will remember, the streets of
Great Falls were still muddy and water
standing in the low places from the cf-
fects of the recent Chinook. The glare
Of the electric lights rejecting upon the
standing water presented the appearance
of large flat stones. AS one of Great
Falls most beautiful bellies was leaning
lovingly and serenely upon the arm of
her brave gallant while returning from
"Ye Olde Folke's Concert at the Presby
terian church they suddenly came upon
