1t is absolutely necessary that some 81
our citizens erect a number OF dwellings to
rent. Almost every day some one is heard
of wanting to rent a house for the winter
or for n term OF years. People cominginto
town cannot procure shelter except at
hotels, and our citizens should see to il
that this state of affairs does not continue.

Mrs. y. T. Diusmore and her daughter
aud Miss Alice j. Mueller left for St. Paul,

in the next two months % as to induce her
husband tn remain it il doubtful If Mrs.

Mcssrs. Hammond, Roberts and Foster
have begun building ON the hall lot rented
of DIR. Lapalme on Main street. 1t is UNI

ON all buildings 10 the block. Were Lewis
town incorporated IA fire limit could Toe

rine, Green & White, was a delegate to the
ID ~ -.
smooth talker and is no novice in the art
of political manipulation. He completely
c~aptivated the local Democracy, and had
he been a voter and a citizen of Montana.
he could have had any nomination in the

pecially selected for the membe of the
corporation. Look out for Dave Hill tac-
tics, as Mr.. White has been a pupil OF the
great New York politician.
Accidents on the roundup seem more
frequent this year han ever before. Only
last week we reported the falling Of IA horse
with W. d.. Deaton, resulting in breaking
that gentleman's collar bone, and now
comes another and more serious accident.
Saturday morning Theodore Miller, work
ing on the Moccasin roundup, was ridin.
across the prairie at a rapid gait when his
horse caught his foot in n badger hole aud
Tell, rolling completely over his rider and
breaking Miller's thigh. 1t was at first
thought one rib was broken also, but later
developments proved them still sound.
Andrew Fergus and A. Hash brought him
To town, and after consulting the physician
he was taken to friends on Rock creek. DIR.
5. b. Stone is attending hin. Miller is Il
hard working man with a family and an
accident of this kind will be "a hard thing
to bear.
