Hart back again. He stopped at Helena
a day or two and says he got all he
wanted of the temporary capital. He has
seen no place in Montana that compares,
in his judgEen with Great Falls.
Mr.. Charles II. Green, who has been
at home in this city for some days past,

sirable.-River Press.

his health, state that he is not improving,
but on the contrary getting worse. Mrs.
Fish and the children have determined
to 60 to him and will leave tomorrow or
next day.-River Press.
Judge Murphy left town for Cascade
today. He speaks well of Spokane Falls
where he argued for two hours in defense
of Mrs. Skeels and succeeded in con
vincing the jury that they ought to acquit
her of numbering her husband. The trial
excited great public interest.
