in its way. The winter scenery of the

stores in the city and will enable him to
conduct to much better advantage than
heretofore his large wholesale and retail
business. 1t Is his intention this season to

Senator Mcnamara arrived in town to-
day looking strong and happy. Urgent
business took him away from the senate
about three weeks ago. He had not ever
time to bid Richards goodbye. Nor did
he leave his address with Sergeant-at-
Arms McGinty. Technically he is in con-
tempt. Whether he will go to the Giant
spring to be purged of this contempt OF
not he does not say. He doubtless con-
siders that Richards, Fisher and the rest
need warm baths more than he does. His
many democratic friends here are proud
of the manly, firm course pursued by the
senator at Helena, where even threats to
nullify his election could not swerve him
from the path of duty.
Word comes from Fort Shaw that on
Saturday, the 18th, John Mack, private of
company B, Twenty-f fifth infantry left the
post at about 8 p. m. The temperature
was 81 below zero. About II O'Clock
cries were heard at the pest. Scout
Roench walked in the direction of the
sounds and found Mack about a mile
from the post lying face down in the
snow nearathe road. His hands and feet
were badly frozen. He was supposed to
have been thrown from his horse. He
was taken to the hospital in an uncon-
scious condition. After a week of intense
suffering he died last Saturday night.
Mack was a native of South Caroline, ~
years of age, and had been in the army
about two years. This is the first death
that has occurred in the command of the
four companies stationed at Shaw slnce
1888.
