Council Meeting.

The council met in regular session
Tuesday night, President McAssey in
the chair and all the aldermen present.
After the general routine of business
had been transacted the report of City
Engineer Munroe was read, showing
cost of grading Rock street wei the
Equator mining claim to connect with
Main street; also submitting drawings
of the proposed cuts and the grade of
said street. Further consideration OF
the report was postponed until the next
meeting.
r.. NJ. Raymond addressed the council
in regard to the opening of Rock street
and the side track now being put in
near the Frisco, stating that said siding
was not in any way a private one and
when complete would be open to tho
public.
On motion the council agreed to view
that portion of Rock street to be opened
and at the same time to look into the
purchase of Il lot to open Il street to
side track.
The marshal was directsd to make
parties clean up their back yards.
Alderman Graham called attention to
the matter of grading Main street over
the Condor and Bulge addition. The
matter was referred to the committee or
streets and alleys.
Alderman Kyle desired to urge upor
the council to take steps to improve the
| condition of Main street, which be
claimed, is almost impossible during
wet weather.
Moved by Alderman Graham that the
council ask for bids for putting in 4
| culvert on Forest street, and that the
clerk give notice of the time and plac,
of receiving bids by the posting o
notices in three places in town.
A communication from the fire de
partment asking for $50 to aid them il

Adjourned.

Pretty indeed are the cards received
by the people of Neihart announcing the
happy marriage, on May "a, of Mr..
Chas. ID. Ladd to Miss Lizzie Klein at
Golden, Colorado. The blithe couple
arrived on yesterdays train from Their
southern home and have taken up resi-
dencc at the Frisco hotel, till their new
cottage is completed. Mrs. Ladd is
well remembered as having spent the
past winter with her sister, Mrs. w. +,
Oden, and adding the charm of hen
presence to the society of Neihart. We
extend our congratulations to the lucky
groom and join in the expression OF
general delight that they will reside in
Neihart.
Mr.. Ladd has spent several years in
the west having left his home in New
Hampshire when a youth. 1t is need.
less to say that he has seen the hard.
ships and privations of pioneer life il
all their ~roughness, and the success OF
his ventures are certainly a source OF
deep qualification to him as they are tC
his friends. His cottage on West Mali
street is to be one of the finest and mos
| attractive in the city.

COUNTY SEAT.

News:
There has been nothing heard of
desperadoes Gay and Gross for the
last week. We had hoped that ere
this the killing of VIM. RAIDER, the
best under-sheriff Meagher county
ever knew, and James Mackey
would be avenged, but it seems ra-
ther doubtful if eve they will be
caught. There is a reward of $1,000
for their apprehension, but few mel
wish to endanger their lives for tina
amount.

MI MONTANA.

1t is remarkable how many old brok-
en windows have been discovered in the
town since yesterday. The thing most
remarkable is that nonc of them seem TO
have been noticed before.
The creek bed in the vicinity OF
Judge Benefits residence has been so
much strengthened in the temporary
stage Of low water as to make any flu
turc break OF the bank next to impossible.
For the sake of safety it would be
il capital idea to require the owners of
certain property bordering the town,
now covered with II thick growth of
pines, to remove or to thin out the m
so that the danger Of a forest fire doing
local damage this summer will be
avcrtcd.

A BIG EXPLOSION.
The Gait Buildings Are Subjects of
More or Less Destruction.

A fire broke out at the Gait yesterday
morning about s o'clock, starting in the
assay Office and spreading to the ore
house. In this was stored a small guam
tity of powder, which exploded, wreck
ing the .wo buildings and bursting in
one side of the power house. 1t was a
miracle that no one was hurt. They
had been laboring to save the property
but knowing that the powder would be
burned the men preferred discretion tc
valor and retired to places of safety
When the explosion came it shook
the town. Windows were broken in
many buildings and the citizens were
thoroughly startled. Many had been
watching the fire from the streets and
these say the sight of the explosion was
frightful. The air vas full of the debris
some of the pieces rising hundreds o.
feet into the ar. An immense crowd
began its march up the hillside to the
works, fearfully expecting to see that
some lives were lost, but fortunately
such was not the case.
The fire is supposed to have started
by Il spark from the stack, but the truth
is not known. Andy Nelson, the fore.
man at the mine, is a most careful mar
in such a position. When it was known
that the powder would explode he went
into the tunnel and told the men not to
come out till the trouble was over, then
returning to the surface he had barely
time to get behind the great wood pile,
about so feet away from the fire. lie
was the closest man to the blast but es-
capped injury. The loss is estimated at
$1,000. They will be running again to-
morrow.

THE B~ROADWATER ROAD.

Tierncy and Blanding have worked a
week on the Broadwatcr road and are
making a fine wagon way. About 80
men are employed on this work and all
the teams available were hired to assist
the enterprise. A few such jobs as this
will 50 increase the local pay roll as to
give the town the appearance of enjoy
ing a boom.
A review of the ground, taken by
expert road men, assures us that with
little work a branch from this road
could be made to tap the Dakota, and,
by circling the hill by easy grade, to tap
the Benton. William Munroe says that
a minute survey of the proposed road,
with plats and estimates, can be made
for 800, and the owners of ground in
that line have set about to secure the
money to complete the same. The road
when finished will be about four miles
long, and a remarkable triumph of en-
gineering skill. 1t is admitted that this
route is the proper and natural one for
reaching the Dakota, the Silver Belt,
Fairplay, Lexington, Benton and all
other mines which may in future be
opened up in that neighborhood.

Early Thursday morning another
tragedy vas enacted in a real room OF
the residence of Mrs. Wynne on Maine
street. Two persons tolerably well
known in camp, Ben Saner and Riley
Wocten, were there at the time and in
an alteration which arose, the exact
nature of which is not known, Wooten
stabbed Saner several times with a
pocket knife. The wounds were in
flicted on the side of the head, on the
side of the body and back. The one on
the head cutting through an ear to the
point of the chin, on the back crossing
the spine in the lumbar region cutting
through to the viscera on both sides OF
the vertebral column.
WoOten at Once left the house as well
as did the wounded man, the latter
strolling into an uptown saloon where
he met Marshal Wilson and others, who
escorted him to the office of DR.. Sandow
for surgical aid. With DR.. Vidal's as
s~istance the gashes were dressed as best
they could possibly be though the vic
tim was seriously weakened from loss OF
blood. His trail along the street was
easily followed by the constant flow of
blood. Officer Wilson started after the
offender and after considerable search
found him on Rock street toward the
Moulton mine. He arrested and lodged
him in Jail. On his person was found
a large pocket knife with a sharp blade
covered with blood. He also arrested
the woman whose house had been the
scene of the fight, and a preliminary
hearing was given Thursday afternoon
at which Wooten stoutly pleaded his in
nocence, The prisoners were remandeC
to Jail, the bond on Wooten being
placed at $1,000 which he could not
secure, the intention of the officers be.
ing to await results to the injured man
The house where the deed was done
is of questionable reputation. There
Jos. Wynne was lately arrested fol
whipping his wife, and now follows til
social transaction by which the sam
woman is held as an accomplice in
fearful and probably fatal fight.

The evening was given to whist and
dancing, some fine musical selections
having been rendered by Miss Amsden
and Prof. Tucker. By the issue of the
of the pleasant occasion, Miss Curtis is
surely impressed with the high apprcia-
ion which Neihart's society peo-
pie have held her the past winter.
The HERALD hopes for her a pleasant
journey.
The prizes at whist were said to have
been taken by Miss Curtis and MI. Len
ny. Prizes were also given at eating
but the successful competitors have de-
sired that nothing be said about it.
Miss Curtis starts today for Divine's
Corners, N. Y. where her parents reside
expecting to be absent about two
months. Her friends here are many and
with them the HERALD joins in wishing
her a splendid journey and safe return.

Evidence Of Good Times.

Last Thursday night was n wag's hol-
iday and all fools were off shift. They
moved the Ncihart Lumber company
stock of shingles and building materials
to the front windows of Miss McCar.
thy's millinery shop. Then they
shifted a prize barber pole to the front
of the First National bank. These
pranks were supplemented by many
other aimless capers, and the street
looked Friday morning as if Il Jimtowr
cyclone had laid over for the night anC
had slept at full length in the principa
street. When they al cut up a man il
one night and only in the next turn thu
town into n living illustration of a dis
tressed "pig-pen on the roof" there i
u~nmistakable evidence of good times.

THE BURNsIE.

The Burnsie lode lies north of the
Evening Star and London, and south Of
the Mountain Chief, the Hudson Mining
Co.'S famous property. 1t is the sole
property Of Philip r. Burns. The
ground carries two large, almost parallel
veins which finally merge into one be
fore they reach the north end line. Up
on one of these an so foot shaft has
been sunk from the bottom of which a
cross cut has been started to reach the
other vein, and 50 feet has been I'M.
with the hope that the next ten feet will
reach the desired end. The vein sought
will be tapped at a point not over fifty
feet from the place where Fred Link re-
Gently took his rich ore out of the Mann
lode. 1t is only a question of a little
time till Mr.. Burns will demonstrate
further the value of that district as an
ore producer.

MINES N MINING.


The Gait is still sinking on its shaft
which is now about 40 feet below the
station. The workings are full of ore
and shipments are made necessary on
account of the bins not being able to
hold the ore. The declaring of the re-
cent dividend has largely increased the
demand for stock in this company and
it has been sold in small blocks ms high
us so cents a share, while no large
blocks of it are at present on the mark
ct.
The company has shipped three cars
of ore this week, and could easily have
made it five if they had had cars or
track room. The new spur on the Fris-
co ground will DC of ~incalculablc good
to this mine. The road is in fine con
dition and the mine never looked better.
The accident of yesterday will not work
any matcoial delay in development,

DESTROYS of learning the whereabouts of
W. G. Thompkins, who is a native of

The Frisco Spur.

The new spur on the Frisco ground
is now started connecting with the
Queen spur at the west end. 1t was at
first thought that a roadway must be
bought from Main street to this side
Hamilton street has made the purchase
unnecessary. Everybody is interested
in the early completion of the track as
the added facility it will give to the
hauling of ore will be hard to estimate.

SCHOOL is Ended.

Yesterday was the last day of a nine
month term of school in Neihart. 1t
was doubtless hailed with JOY to the
hosts of "Young America" who have
been all the time pouring over books,
but it is just as probable that a majority
of these hosts have gone to school so
little that they are in no danger of nc
cumbing to nervous prostration. The
term of school has been a good one, the
latter part being the best ever held in
Neihart Miss Curtis is a model teacher
with excellent methods and rare ability

ed grade is a full man when it comes to
exercising right judgment in a school

trait of character which rules, yet rules

every hand the men are now as busily
engaged in tearing down as they were
but few months ago in building up
the fair. From every portion of the
grounds comes the sound of hammer
and saw and along the smoothly paved
avenues, which SO recently resounded
to the footballs of countless thousands of
eager sight-seers, tracks are laid, and
trains loaded with exhibits arc being
moved from the buildings
1t was thought that some time would
elapse before the general breaking-up
would take place, but the rapidity with
which exhibitors got their effects to-
gether was something bordering on the
marvellous. Within twenty-four hours
after the official ending of the fair for
eign exhibits in all the fair buildings
were being bundled into boxes and
carted away, to be speedily shipped
back to the distant countries from
which they came.
Articles that had been sold during
the fair were hurriedly claimed
