fields for practice. He is thinking
strongly of visiting Great Falls, with a
view of locating there.
It is rumored that the new, water COM
pany do not intend laying their pipes on
Main street, and some uneasiness is al
ready noticeable among the business men
on that thorOughfare, and should such
become known fact there will be some
tall kicking.
Hugh O'Kane, the tailor, is now COM
fortably located in his new stand op-
posite the Moore hotel, and if he don't
get move on himself pretty soon now

Thomas and r. w. Hoge, two trusty
employees of the Granite Company. Mr.
Thomas, whe was recently elected con-
stable, leaves a sorroWing wife and six
children. The funeral, which took place
on the 18th, was largely attended. Mr..

Ed. II. Moore informs us that he will
soon reopen the Moore hotel, and that
be has commenced making preparations
for the opening, which will occur about
the Goth OF this month. The dining
room will be enlarged to about double
the present size, and will seat about $50
people, Mr.. Moore's friends on the Hill
Will welcome him home again, and his
success in the hotel is assured.
A trunk belonging to Mrs. Smith. who
failed recently in her boarding house on
Main street, was sold at auction to
satisfy a creditors claim. Attorney
Shaw was on hand to bid for his client,
and Mrs. Smith, who knew of the cir
sent a booster up from the
Burg. Shaw, seeing how things we're
going, made up his mind that if Mrs.
Smith got the trunk she would pay
enough for it, and he startad the sale at
$50, and to his great astOnishment no
other bid was made, and it was knocked
down to him. Consequently he Is now
the possessor of a quantity of ladies'
linens which he is at loss to know how
to dispose of, as his client refusas to pay
so large a sum for the goods.
The knights of Pythias' grand bal!
given at knights of Labor hall was
among the most enjoyable affairs that
have taken place on the Hill thus far
this season. The attendance was not so
large as some anticipated it would be,
but there was apparently the right sized
party and the right kind of people to
enjoy themselves, which everyone pres
ent seemed to do. The music was fur
nished by the Granite band, with Prof. |
Mark Schilline as prompter. At II
o'clock the thirty couples proceeded to
the hotel of MISS Anna Ritter and Nc |
Donald's restaurant for supper. Miss |
Ritter had prepared the ball supper, and
a more toothsome spread has seldom |
been partaken of in Granite. At l
o'clock dancing was resumed and con-
tinued until $3.50, when all retired, we'll
pleased with the nights pleasure.
