According to the census of 1890,
which we have just received, there

county with an average of 5.37
members to each family.

From all accounts the Peterkin's
Cluster cotton is ahead of all cot

have planted it, and haven't let
the grass take it, are fortunate.
Cotton and Corn.
We are having good seasons and
cotton is fruiting wonderfully.
MANY farmers have told US that
this plant is fruiting better than
they ever knew. The corn crop,
we fear, will be a comparative

TIKI BASKBALL SEASON
WHAT THE PROSPECTS ARE FOR
HAvlNG.BALL THIS YEAR.
Gossip About the Montana League and
Philipsburg Piayers-Many of
Them Winning Fame in East
ern and Western Cities.

Nothing definite has been heard lately
about the organization of the Montana
leauge. Things stand in about the same
position as they did a month ago. Phil
ipsburg, Butte and Helena are ready and
willing to enter but the difficulty seems
to be in getting the fourth club into the
combination. A committee haa been at
work endeavoring to supply the
missing link during the past week, but
SO far we have heard Of no very encour-
aging success being made.
At any rate, the people of Philipsburg
are anxiously awaiting the formation of
the league and our club here will be one
of the very first to come up to the
scratch. IF the league should become an
assured fact the present year for base
ball in Philipsburg would undoubtedly
be good one.
The following notes regarding some of
the former members of the Philipsburg
club will be of interest to many:
Tom Parrott and his iron arm with
Philipsburg last season. - pitching for
Birmingham, Ala, and beat Cincinnati
last week.
Pete Lohman, Philipsbure's hard
working catcher, is ing good work with
the Los Angeles.
Capt. Comiskev has signed Charles
Hoover, the i'll tempered and bibulously
inclined catcher who was with Philips
burg for while last season. Hoover is
a great man, however, If he can only be
kept straight, and CONNIE" thinks that
he can accomplish this feat. Daddy"
Hoover is one Of the players Philipsburg
imported from the east.
The Louisville papers are Growing
loudly over the signing of Con Lucid,
who pitched for Butte last season. AL
though the gay and festive has not done
any work there yet, the papers believe
that he has the making of a great pitcher
in him, and they are lauding him to the
skies. Con is another player whom
Philipsburg imported from the east. He
came here two years ago from Webb
City, Missouri, and played through that
season.
Gus Klopf, who held down the second
bag for the Philipshurg team for awhile
last season, has refused offers from Los
Angeles and New Orleans. He expects to
either manage the Spokane team or play
in the Montana league this sesaon. Gus
is good player and if the Montana
league materializes The MAIL would be
pleased to see him in the Philipsburg
team.

Closed Up the Standard.

hour of twelve on the dial of Sheriff
Coles Waterbury last Sunday night, he
stepped in and took possession Of the
Standard theater on an attachment
served by NJ. E. Doe & Co.
Other attachments followed that OF
Doe & Co., in quick succession, and as a
consequence the comique has passed out
of existence, foG time at least.
The liabilities Of Risch & White, the
proprietors, are probably two or three
thousand dollars, while their assets
amount to about the same. Frank J
Wilson, who furnished the finances fol
starting the comique, holds a mortgage
on the outfit for $1,000, and if that
amount can be realized out of the spoils
it will be pretty near the limit.

EIGHT SETTLERS KILLED.
Murderous Navajoes in Southern
4 Colorado on the Warpath.

-@ COIOrMuO OIL the Warpath.
DENVER, May 1.-The long-threat-
ened war Of the Navajo Indians against
the settlers Of the country in the vicin-
ity of their lands has come off at last
and with it the death Of eight settlers.
Such was the startling news received
during the morning by Adjutant Gen
eral Kennedy. At9 o'clock the adju-
tant general received telegram from
Lieutenant Plummer, Indian agent Of
the Navajoes, in which he stated that
the whites had been murdered by the In
dians who are now at war with the set
tiers. He declared that the situation
is a critical one and asked that troops
be called out to prevent ......
Further BIoodshed.
The telegram was addressed to Cover
nor Waite, but he is out Of the city and
it was referred by Secretary Dorentz
to the adjutant general. Lieutenant
Plummer stated that the people below
Durango are in wild state Of Of ex-
citement and grave fears are entertained
lest the Indians continue their warfare
up the valley. In his message the
agent states that two battles have been
fought already. The first early Thurs
day when five men were killed, all set
tiers, while at another encounter three
more whites lost their lives and further
bloodshed is anticipated. The adjutant
general forwarded the information to
! the war department. at Washington and
it is not unlikely that
Orders Will Be Issued
| from that source for the removal of the
troops now quartered at Fort Logan
They can act outside Of the state and
would be more fit for encounter with
the Indians than state troops. The ad
| jutant general is inclined to regard the
situation with good deal Of concern
although expressing the belief that the
trouble will notextendv very far north. He
does not know whether of, not Governor
Waite will order the state guard to The
front, but thought he would do SO. He
declined to give copies Of the kilograms
received by him and sent by him OF tt
allow any one to see them, stating tina;
it was contrary to orders. In speaking
of the affair he said that there were 25(

An Inquiry from Granite.

A resident of Granite writes The MAIL
requesting us tn furnish some informa-
tion regarding the legality Of a certain
account held against Deer Lodge county
before Granite county was formed.
The Granite correspondent turned in a
bill to the Deer Lodge county commits
sioners for $16.25, which was Justly due
for the care Of a county subject who had
taken poison, and it would hardly have
been humane to have allowed man to
die in the streets IN civilized commu-
nifty.
Now the commissioners of the old
county will not allow the bill or give any
satisfactory explanation why they refuse
to recognize it. The applicant at Granite
does not ask for anything unreasonable
and says if they would come out and
say that they would OF would not pay
the bill it would be much more salts
factory than for one of the commission
ers to say it had been misla1d and
another give some other reason, etc.

how to explain matters to the writer as
that person is to know why justiiable
