The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1893-08-05

went over to Sheep creek this week for a
and varied assortment of fish yarns.
Rev. J. Nigus wife and little daugh-
ter Emma left town on Tuesdays train.
Rev. Nigus goes to Great Falls to attend
the North Montana Mission conference
and expects to be absent about two
weeks. Mrs. Vigus will visit neal Belt
with her mother. 1t is hoped they will
enjoy themselves while absent.
Jack Mcdowell was one of the pass
engers on Mondays train from the Falls.
He has been to the Sweet Grass Hills in
company with Sam Anderson and John
ny Reynolds and reports that they
found plenty of gold but not in paying
quantities. He had a good time and en-
joyed the trip but thinks now he will
settle down to business and get his store
in shape for the boom when it strikes
our camp. Jack is a rustler and will
get there with both feet.
We publish this week IA notice of as
signment, made by Sweeney4Bros., for
the benefit of their creditors. William
Mueller is the assignee and will hence
forth take charge of the store until such
times as the assignment can be lifted.
This is not by any means a failure, but
caused by the present financial stringen-
cy and done to protect the creditors of
the firm. Messrs. Sweeney will assist
Mr.. Mueller in looking after the bust
ness.
William A. Wilson, for the past ten
months a limb of the legal force of this
place, left on Tuesdays train for San
Francisco. Mr.. Wilson is a bright
young man of sterling business quail
ties and thorough competency in his
line. While heIe he made IA host of
friends, and his departure will be re-
GREETED by every one-of both sexes.
We all join in wishing him a safe and
pleasant journey and may the best of
luck attend you, William, until your
smiling countenance beams upon us once
more.
j. S. Gordon in this weeks visit at
Neihart was accompanied by his bro
ther-in-law w. j. Macdonald of Tain,
Scotland, who with Mrs. Macdonald is
making a tour of America. We enjoyed
a prolonged conversation with Mr.. Mac
Donald in which he showed himself not
only a close observer of civil and social
affairs wherever he goes but well inform
ed upon the questions of silver and the
tariff. He admires our country for its
enterprise, its vast undertakings and
marvellous achievements. He remarked
a condition here different from that of
his own country, in that Americans are
always wondering where they may get
money to accomplish their ends while in
his land the question is always what to
do with the money on hand. Evidently
tie activities of western lite are very in
teresting to one whose period of exist
ence has been spent in an old established
country.
John Trip, who for the past two
months has been employed at the
Broadwater mine, met with a painful
and almost serious accident last Sunday
afternoon. He was'engaged at running
out ore and was filling his car at one OF
the chutes in the tunnel, when the orc
became clogged, in some manner, an6
refused to run. Finding a crow bal
Tripp had started to loosen it when
large lump came down, striking hin
squarely across the eve and inficting
very painful wound. For a time it wa.
feared he would lose the eye, but DR.
Vidal, who is in attendance, informs III
that while the wound is very painful
there is no doubt but that he will sool
