c. Little of Glendive, has been in Lewis
town for a week past endeavoring to make
arrangements for the purchase Of W. NJ.
McGinuess' stock of drugs and ~sundries.
Thu drug store will not he closed for a few
days, during which time "A deal of some
kind will probably be made and the store
continue under "a new management. Mr..
Little now owns "A iewelry store at Miles
City and is at present postmaster of that
city. Should he buy out Mr.. McGinness he
will open a jewelry store in connection. He
is a very pleasant gentleman, and would
be a valuable addition to Lewistown bust
ness circles.
Tuesday evening a number of our young
men and a few Beuedicts, met at the Day
House for the organization of a literary
society, which will be known as the Sunset
Club. to procure and furnish comfortable
quarters where a reading and card room
can be established, and to furnish to its
members and friends social enjoyment. A
number of literary entertainments and
dances will he given during the winter
months. Edward Brassey is president of
the club.
Thu cannibal 81 the Mud Gcyser thinks
that when IA man has his face pounded up
by one who is physically his superior he
should not seek redress i'm the courts. II
he does costs should be entered against
him. This is border rufian or bushwhacker
justice but the day is past when it will be
observed in Montana. Why didn't the
Jury render such a verdict in the Hogue
case? Simply because the Mud Gey ser out
Law knew that the case would be appealed
by Walton and the verdict reversed by the
district court.
The Misses Gertrude and Rebecca Ship.
man met with quite "a serious accident on
Wednesday of last week. They were on
their way to town in a cart from their
home on the Judith and were descending
the hill above George Cooks place when
suddenly a small band of horses were driven
up behind them. Several of the band came
close to the cart and one of them stumbling
against the horse the ladies were driving
frightened him into a run. Near the bot
tom of the hill the car was upset, throw
ing it's occupants violently to the ground,
Miss Gertrude, upon arising, found that
her collar bone was broken, while Miss Re
becca had sustained numerous bruises
about the face and head. The former
walked into town and secured assistance
for her sister. Both are now stopping with
Mr.. and Mrs. Erickson and are making
good progress toward recovery. The shafts
and seat to the cart we're broken. but the
horse escaped without injury.
The attendance at the Christian En-.
deavor social at the Presbyterian church
last Friday evening was greater than an
ticipated, with the result that the supply
of pop corn and candy was exhausted
early in the evening. Beside these choco
late and cake were served, the tables bein.
constantly occupied. The musical program
was excellent, especial features being q
piano solo by Miss Edwards and IA charac
ter song by Mrs. War;, Miss Gray and +
E. Smith. A ~roundelay in which a number
participated was also very good, the Other
selections each and all deserving praise
The literary program included the ~recitin,
OF the Zone Hoss Shay by Ernestine Bur.
and II humorous reading by Miss Hoberton
Owing to the lady's position in the room
it was with great difficulty that she wal
heard, which to some extent marred whai
would otherwise have been one of the hest
features OF the evening. The society intend
giving at least one social each month ano
we doubt not will be well attended.
ii. S. Sherard, manager of the Gilt Edg'
mine, favored the ARGU Us Office with a cal
last Thursday. The gentleman said thai
a refinery was now in transit from Aiming
ton which would be put in place immedi
ately and the product treated here. Ar
rangements will probably be mad will
the Bank of Fergus County for the deposit
of the bullion and the company TO issu,
, checks on this bank, which will be of great
convenience instead of the present system
OF drawing on Great Falls. The force al
the mine has been reduced about thirty
five men, sufficient ore being now on thu
dump to keep the mill running CONSTANT!
, for months. There W II be no shut dowi
this winter, all machinery having been pro
tected from the severe cold and snow. Mr.
Sherard says that the delay has been 81
great in getting returns on product shipped
that pay day has been unayoidably post
poned, but that within a few weeks h
trusts that Gilt Edge paper will be wortl
dollac for dollar. Gilt Edge is to be tn
coming mining camp of Montana and Fer
gus county is certainly fortunate in havini
a gold output in these times of paraly zee
2 stock and silver interests.
