Il saw an odd way of serving sweet

woman's luncheon not long since, says the
New York Tribune. lit was dish of
large sweet potatoes peeled and very
nicely cooked, with sweetbread inserted
in the center of each, and served like
croquettes. Were they good2 Well, yes;
they were very well cooked, and at all

nicely larded, moistening them well with
good beef stock, and cooking them in the

A few days ago a good-looking young
lady arrived at Fort Benton and took up
quarters at the Grand Union hotel. A
couple of days later, when the Judith
Basin round up reached that place, it
became rumored that the lady was there
to meet an enga cement with one OF the
cowboys known as Indian Charley, who
accompanied that outfit. The young man
is a full-bloOded Piegan, of whom but lit
tie is known. sand the lady is Miss Maud
Barnum, of Mann Cascade county.
Ed Barnum, brother Of the young
lady. went to Fort Benton to hunt up his
sister and endeavor to dissuade her from
marrying the Indian but she was de-
termned to have him and would not
listen to her brothers entreaties. The
clerk of the district court WAS away for a
few days, and all parties are waiting his
return, when an attempt will be made to
procure a marriage license
Miss Barnum is described as an accom-
plished young lady, and her choice is
matter of deep regret to her family.
