p. J. Faulkner. of White Sulphur Springs,
arrived in town last week with Niger Boy,
a fine Blackbawk-Morgan stallion, which
he offers for sale. Niger Boy" is six
years old and has IA record of ~trotting d
mile inside of three minutes before he was
two years old. The horse can be seen at
D. NJ. Crowley's livery stable.
W. j. Stratton, Of Okla, spent several
days in town during the past week. He is
representing Chas. +. Severance's mercan-
tile house at that place and meeting with
good success in the basin. Mr.. Stratton
says the whole of that country is contem-
plating spending the 3rd and 4th oil July in
Lewistown. Come one and all.
f. F. Hersey and w. f. Rand came in
from Philbrook last Saturday and remained
until Tuesday of this week. Mr. Hersey
attended MEETINGS of the Fair association
| Saturday and Monday. Mr.. Rand has
sold his ranch near Philbrook % Jonathan
Phillips. and is looking up a location to
engage in the gents furnishing goods busi-
ness.
John Brooks, accompanied by Antony
| Brooks and family and Miss Mengelkoch,
were in town several days during the past
week. Tony was formerly a resident OF TT.
Maginnis, but for the past five years has
been engaged in business in Minneapolis.
He thinks somewhat of remaining in the
county permanently, hut has not fully de-
termined.
Elsewhere will be found the advertise
ment of W. G.. Norman, our enterprisinR
ieweler. Mr.. Norman is now permanently
located in his new building and besides EN-
pIoying a frst-class ieweler is constantly
| adding to his line of goods. There is no
necessity for sending east for watches or
jewelry, or for repairing of any kind. Give
him your patronage.
d. NJ. Crowley, James II. Moe, Frank f.
Wright and Wm. Newton have purchased
ten yearlings and two-year-old Avalanche
flleys OF c. j. Mcnamara, the colts to be
delivered at Lewistown in about a month.
Col. Broadwater recently sold Avalanche to
| parties in New York city for So, roo. These
animals are therefore well bred on the sire
side and we may look for the development
of some fine ~trotters at no distant day.
John Gilkerson and VIM. Maginnis have
leas ed the Lewistown Hotel of VIM. Hor-
top and Mr.. Gilkerson will take possession
on Saturday OF this week. Mr.. Hortop re-
tires after nine years of constant proprie-
torship, during which time he gained an en-
viable reputation as a hotel man. The
new proprietors are well known in this sec
ton, are both popular and accommodate
ing gentlemen, aid we cal assure the ira vel
ing public that they will continue to receive
the same hospitable treatment as of old.
The adjourned term of the district court
will not be held this month for the reason
that the jury has been waved in the Cruise
case and Judge DuBose did not care to
put the county to expense by s~ummonsing
a jury for one case-the Lineberger case.
By consent Of attorneys the Cruise case
has been postponed until after the 4th oil
July. 1t will probably be called about the
18th of next month. As the case will
probably last two weeks, Judge DuBose
will remain here until after the August
term.
Sheriff Sullivan returned from Warm
Springs last Sunday evening, where he went
with Charles Allen, the young man adj
Judged insane. aleu "a q III "hhc oh ~
cars but was not violent or unmanageable. |
The doctors at Warm Springs think there
is a rood chance for his permanent recoy-
ery. Mr.. Sullivan was in Butte the night
w. j. Peuruse WAS assassinated and said
there was II great deal of feeling aroused
over the tragedy and had the parties been
found, Judge Lynch would have ordered a
prompt execution.
Report has reached town of a serious ac-
cident to one of our well known cowboys
on the Moccasin roundup. Last Friday
morning, rs near as we can learn, Jesse Me
Hugh and Dave Deaton were riding on the
lower end Of Dog creek and along the side
of IA cut some forty feet in depth. McHugh's
horse shyed n little and catching his foot in
"a badger hole fell down this bank. The
horse broke his neck in the fall and Jesse
was picked up for dead. He had only lost
consciousness. however, and came to dur
ing the day. He was too weak to be moved
at once, hut as soon a. practicable a party
started this waY with him and have been
expected here before this. Inasmnch as no
physician has been sent for we trust that
he is not injured as badly as at first sup
posed. although internal injuries are re-
ported. When the party arrives the par
ticulars may vary somewhat from this and
we hope for the better.
