AN EPISODE
a Case of True Love Verifying the
Old Saying. ~

Old Saying.
Jacob Oliver, charged with assault, ap-
peared on Thursday EVENING" in the Probate
Court, pleaded guilty and was fined IS and
costs by Judge Irvine, which he paid. 1t
was the queerest case of assault ever heard
of. As told to a reporter, Oliver has been
paying attentions to a young lady. agree
ably to her but distastefully to the young
papa. Papa forbade Oliver to come
neal his house and has jealousy watched
his daughter. One Sunday not long ago, q
lady called for the daughter to accom-
pany her to church and papa gave
her to understand hat he would
hold her responsible if she allowed his
daughter to speak to Oliver while she
had the daughter under her charge. Mrs.
Duelna and the maiden were met on the
way by the devoted Oliver who wauteri to
have a few words with the latter. The
objected, but Oliver ignored her
and pulling the daughter away from her
had his own way. This was the assault.
Papa came down furious that his daugh-
ter couldn't come down town with
out being logged by the disturber OF
bis peace. He was urged to taxi a
club but took an affidavit instead and
Oliver was served with the summons.
1t was quite absurd, but he preferred to
Plead guilty in such Il cause than to drag
his s~weatheart's name into an unfeeling
court. Such self-abnegation does honur to
him, and is almost heroic. This episode in
a case OF true love will be completed aha
date with the stereotyped wind-up
OF all love stories, that ''they lived long
and died happy ever afterward."

THREE HUNDRED SHEEP BURNED.
A Big Fire on a Ranch in the Sun River
Country, in Choteau County.

A Big Fire on a Ranch in the Sun River
Country, in Choteau County.
From the Helena Herald: +. d,
Cooper of this city returned from his
brother Georges sheep ranch, about 20
miles above Sun river, in Choteau county,
Wednesday night, and brings the news ol
an extensive fire there last Sunday night,
by which two houses, 800 sheep, two
horses and 300 tons OF hay we're burned.
1t WAS during the hour when the sportive
chinook was getting in it's work.
The fire started FROM a defective fue,
and the gale was so fierce hat before any
thing could be done the flames had ignited
a hay stack from which q building where
sheep and horses were kept was set ablaze.
Fire fighting was useless, and the whole
place was lefG to the mercy OF the flames,
the occupants OF the ranch barely escaping
with their lives.
The loss is u heavy one, and it is be-
lisved there was no insurance on the place.
Mr.. Cooper il one of the largest sheep
owners in the territory, having many
Thousand in his dock, SO the loss will not
be felt to any great extent. He has already
begun rebuilding the houses destroyed by
the fire. &=

POLICE T
Thrown in for Abusing IN O~ficer-Pretty
Pete Fined for Opium Smoking.

Pete Fined for Opium Smoking.
Things have been tediously quiet in po-
lice circles, the docket being comparatively
bare of cases for u few days past. A va
riety OF the prevailing monotony lit up
the dismal aspect Of affairs for a brief
season last night, and helped to beguile
the monotony of two of the force at least.
Officer Leyden was patrolling his beat on
Park, near Wyoming, about 10 O'Clock
last evening when, according to the account
of the affair given by the police, q man
named Ed. Mccormick came along. He
was the party at whose instance Officers
Leyden and Carroll had a trial in
the Probate Court for alleged violence in
arresting him in the Mount Vernon house
some time ago, and last night showed that
he bore No affection for the officer for what
had occurred. He appeared to be under
the influence" and coming up to Leyden
threw him off the sidewalk. The officer
took it good naturally, or did not resent
it, and Mccormick followed him to the
OF Main street wnere he
began to abuse him calling him vile
Leyden kept his temper and
mel ely cautioned him not to create a
disturbance. Officer Carroll came up and
tried to get Mccormick to go away leading
him off two or three times Intellectually.
He still persisted and a crowd collected
together Carroll arrested him and tool
him to the police station where he was
given quarters for the night.
In the Police Court last evening the case
against Pete Mccullough, alias Pretty
Pete, charge With smoking opium, came up
for hearing. On the testimony Of
James and Anderson who said
him smoking in a joint d.wn among the
placer diggings in the latter part OF
January, he was convicted and sentenced
to a fine Of 500 and costs. Judge Lippin-
colt said it was the first case of this de-
scription brought before him in which there
was any evidence and he gave the defend
ant the limit. Mccullough gave notice OF
appeal but was taken to Jail until he a
fu. nish bond which is hardly likely.

Extremely Yindictiye.

Two men playing caids in a saloon on
East Park street last evening had some
words, when one Of them drew a revolver
and nourished it in q threa 5ening manner
at the other. The latter Immediately left
the saloon and swore out a complaint
against him in Justice Hopkins court,
charging the defendant with drawing and
exhibiting a deadly weapon, on which be
was arrested, and when brought into court
he pleaded guilty and paid his fin. The
complainant came into court a few min
utes later, and when i e learned What had
occurred was highly indignant that the de-
fendant had not been held for the grand
jury. The judge told him he guessed he
knew his business, and he lsft vo~ing he
would have the defendant arrested over
again and held for trial in spite uf what
had occurred.

The Chamber of Torture

is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inf1ammatory rhe matism is
confined. Ii, ere the crisis OF pain is reached,
that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons OF a rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines, anodynes and soda
tives while having none but a specific effect,
are yet very desirable at times. Yet can
they produce no lasting effect upon rheu-
matism, because they have no power to
eliminate from the blood the rheumatic
virus. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does
this, and checks at the outset a disease
which, il allowed to gain Roadway, it is
next to impossible to dislodge or to do
more than relieve. Rheumatism, it should
be remembered is a disease with a fatal
tendency from it's proneness to attack the
heart. A resort to the Bitters should,
therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and are
relieved by it,.

his throat cut last Friday night, has been
brought to Elko and placed in the hospital.
He takes some nourishment and is able to
speak. He now asserts that he cut his own
throat; but even if he does say SO it will be
difficult to believe him after making the
statement that he did on Friday night and
swearing Il it, when there is little doubt
that he supposed he had but a few hours O
live. His sworn statement is to the effect
that bis throat was cut by his wife and
daughter.

CIRCUS REFLECTIONS.
The Perversity of Human Nature as Dis
played in a Tent Show.

The Pervsrsity of Human Nature as Dis
played in a Tent Show.
1t seems rather strange thing that
people of ordinary appreciation should
experience more pleasure in seeing ami
mails in eccentric attitudes than in
those designed for them by nature.
The man who cares nothing to see the
seal swim about in his tank, becomes
spell-bound with delight when he OBJ
serves that honest-faced amphibian
humping across board platform on
the muscles of his stomach for the
purpose of discharging pistol. and
showing how great a tambourine vir-
tuoso he is.
The same man, and he is generally
a sample of the whole audience, never
knows how great an animal the pig is
until he sees him, attired like q nurse,
wheeling a monkey about in baby
carriage.
When he sees two sheep playing
leap-frog and sparring with gloves, he
feels as though nature made sad
mistake in not endowing all sheep
with these gifts, that they might
amuse as we'll as feed and ciothe man.
He never before got so much enjoy
ment out of a flock of sheep on a bright
green hillside, and he VOWS when he
goes to a picture sale again. he will
only buy such cattle pieces as happen
to tickle his sporting fancy.
He thinks what an opportunity Rosa
Bonheur missed when she failed to
delineate oxen INDUCING in a game of
see-saw. and horses running about in
circle in Indian file. with their forelegs
on the fanks of the ones just ahead.
This man, who notices not the poet
ry and grace Of natural motion, would
be happier, perhaps. if all men stood
on their heads. and walked on their
hands, for nature to him is but a dull
prosaic sort of a thing, as barren of
beauty as the advertised beauty, the
beautiful Mile. Soandso, who sails
through the air on the flying trapeze
in tights as delicate as a rosebud. =
