There was a misunderstanding as to the
date uf holding the meeting Of the Moccasin
Roundup association. Instead OF the 2Gth
inst. as published last week, the meeting
was held at the Day house last Saturday.
The roundup will start on the 10th of
September, beginning at James Fergus
ranch and working toward the Basin. The
association will send five representatives
to Flatwillow and the same number to the
Judith roundup. II is thought the work
will be completed in about three weeks
when beef shipments will begin.
Last Sunday S. W. Matteson took break
fast in Great Falls, dinner at Stanford, re-
manned there from IL to 2:3o to go swim
ming etc, and easily made Lewistown for
1870 supper 10 miles. Upon arrival the
rider was in good condition to enjoy
another fifty miles but rain prevented.
What a contrast to spending thirty conse-
cutive hours in "A cramped up dusty stage
to make the same trip, paying SIS for
your misery! One hundred and fifty miles
in IA day with the present condition OF
roads and weather would be no very re-
markable ride for a fair cycler, but how
many of M~ontana's best horses dare face
it?-Tribune.
Some of our local nimrods who were
Dragging Of their exploits in the field re-
ceived II scare last week. The county at
torncy claimed that the chicken law was
not out until September LIST, and based his
authority on n certified copy of the laws of
the last legislature. The law gives the
closed season for game and includes
chickens, grouse, pheasant, fool hen, sage
hen, partridge and snipe among such that
cannot be killed between December 18th
and September LIST. There must have been
IA mistake in copying the law or a good
many people are not familiar with it's pro-
visions. The leading dailies OF the state
publish the law giving August 18th to No
vember 18th as the open season for the
above named game birds. 1t would seem
strange that in cities having gun clubs
there could possibly he any mistake in the
matter. There is evidently "A clerical error
tina should be corrected or "A good many
sportsmen might be compelled to swell
the school fund.
