UPPER BELT, March 15.-'rhe New
York Sun takes the responsibility of ad'
vertising Wanna.haker's new perfume
"Odor of Sanctity." Is the substance {
positive accompaniment of the essence,
and would it not be humanitarlanism tol
corporations and communities to club to.
gether and order in quantities sufficient
to permeate the whole unchristianized at.
mosphere, and so save the trouble and ex.
pense of legal regeneration?
This d%allyinS time of Nature, when
Winter is still lingering In the lap of
Spring, when humanity is subjected to
the general breaking up process, seems
prolific of more or less belligerency, and
the manifestations have been more or less
violent in different locations. Over be-
you'd Kibbey Alex Nelson and his neigh
Dor, Mr.. Carr, have been having land diff
fculties, which they tried to settle by
force of arms, and which brought the two
before Justice Lee for settlement and con-
tingent fees.
Recently Mr.. Irons, ST., purchased from
Mr.. McGee the old Geer property, known
as Summit ranch, Mr.. Irons paying half
the purchase money down and giving his
notes for the balance. The night after
taking possession, Mr.. Irons was surprised
by a visit from Mr.. Geer and others, who
claimed they they had a bill of sale of the
property, and ordered Mr.. Irons and wife
to vacate.
Mr.. Robert Craig has also been having
a little legal Tor illegal "pot pourri,"
which cost the originator a handsome
sum, and left Mr.. Craig master of the sit
uation. The story is told thusly, but we
do not vouch for its authenticity: About
a year ago Mr.. Craig took a man in and
let him make his home there for awhile.
Later he sold Mr.. Craig a horse, and the
same night stole it and ran away with it.
Mr.. Craig finally recovered the animal,
after which the mar sued him for wages,
demanding a hundred dollars damages.
A judgment was rendered for $65, which
Mr.. Craig refused to pay. Last week the
the aggrieved party came on with a war
rant, took Mr.. Craig's team right out of
the harness, and drove off his new mich
cows, leaving several young calves with
out means of succor. Mr.. Craig has re-
covered his property and the costs have
fallen upon the aggressor.
Mr.. johnson of Kibbey has sold his
ranch for $1,000. He is just now the hero
of a big "bar" story, having slaughtered a
huge she bear last week on the Barker
trail, and captured her two cubs. I
Two more cottages are being erected in
Michigan colony, making an even
half dozen for the month Of March. !
st. Patrick's day will be generally cell
ebrated throughout this section, the god
Terpsichore receiving all honors, invita-
lions being out for no less than four dance
namely, n at Neihart, at Bark
er, at Kibbey, and at Barnum's.
Railroad prospects are very encourage
.ng, and we think it strange that no move |
las as yet been made toward celebrating
he opening of the Belt extension. Moth
ng will satisfy our people short of a grand
excursion and railroad ball at Great Falls.
t will be an emancipation day for the set
lers,such as deserves o thar ordinary
'ommemoration. "A word to the wise
sufficient"
