An agent of the Garden City addition
TO Salt Lake was in Philipsburg last
week trying to sell 25-foot front lots on
the installment plan. He made a fexs m
sales only. It amused our people to ha
asked to buy foreign property when real
estate investments here pay SO hand
somely.
| The mlnstrels have come and gone in
a blaze OF glory, music and white blue
hats. They gave a fins street parade
yesterday afternoon, the veteran mana
ger, John Mcguire, marching at their
mead, the band playing fine music. Last
night they gave an enjoyable perfor-
nance to the largest audience that was
ever packed inside the walls of Morse's
hall: 1t was of the usual order of min
strel entertainments, with the exception
OF the club swinging, which, as the bills
described it, was marvellous.
On a visit to Granite this week wa
found Secretary Baker, of the Buskett
mercantile company, is in great sweat,
lie has been summoned to Deer Lodge
as member OF the grand jury, which
meets next Monday. Mr.. Buskett ID
away and if Mr.. Baker goes to Deer
Lodge it Will leave the establishments
without head at time when they are
very busy. It's next to impossible for
nm to go, yet If he does not he will be-
fined for contempt. If he has to 20 he
Will be IN no humor to deal lightly with
offenders, and any mans case brought
before the grand jury will catch thunder.
We understand that Mr.. Freyschlag, the
conservative cashier of the Hyde banking
company, is i'll the same fix. Ho has s1lsU
been summoned, but in the absence of
Mr. Hyde it will also be next to impos-
slble for him to obey the courts man
date.
Justice Shull reports dull business in
his line. He has only had one offender
this week, Thomas Haley, who undertook
to run the Silver Lake house. Thomas
cheerfully come to the scratch with So
and costs. Since the above was written
Justice Shull reports boom in his inA
SaSss -I-c,a-~S!e.>lns, r,~ta,,~0, eSlie oc-
cupants of the Imkamp block Miss
Jessie Nelson, rival of the aforesaid
Sanders, was treated to a larger dose,
$75 and costs, for the same offense. The
action of Mr.. Shull is commendable. The
sporting element are becoming Alto
gether too aggressive: The women are
carrying their domestic quarrels both
Their actions and language in public
places is something shocking. Last
night was a lively one all around. A
fight occurred in O'Mara & Maloney's
saloon. One of the parties was brutallY
handled. Three teeth were knocked out,
his lip slit and his head cut.
Last week Superintendent Weir, or
the Granite company, issued an order to
take effect April !, grading the wages of
the men who work the Burleigh drills.
Two men now run these machines, get
ting $3.50 per day each. The superin-
tendent proposes to make one man the
foreman and the other helper, giving
the foreman 1915 day and tho helper
S3 25. In other words, taking 25 cents
off of one mans wages and giving it to
the other. The miners consider this as a
feeler on the part of the superintendent
and a sly way of getting at a gradual re-
duction of wages in all departments. A
committee of Granite citizens and
Miners Union members waited on Super
1ntendent Weir, Tuesday, to ascertain
what were his intentions and protest
against any reduction of wages. He re-
piled that he would give them an answer
in a few days. Anything in the nature
of reducing miners wages will be stoutly
