her fingers and the horse was gone.
She continued on her way to Mr.. Hud-

at ONE After resting a few minutes
and the storm ceasing she retraced her
steps: reaching the open prairie she lost
the trail in the gathering darkness. Sell
Getting a fixed point-a group of trees
she walked direct toward it till she went
stumbling down the steep banks of
Castle creek. Objects were scarcely dis
cernible, but she plunged into the swift,
icy mountain stream and crossed safely,
There was then a four mile walk with
one vacant and one inhabited house be-
tween. The stars came u and the CO.
votes howled unsteady, but soon "a
mother storm approached, the darkness
grew intense, the thunder roared and
the flash of the lightning was the only
guide to the pathway, till in the distance
appeared the twinkling of light from
Mr.. Will Hibbert's cabin. This she
reached, but beyond fire and shelter
there were few requisites in a bachelors
cabin for her needs, and Mr.. Hilbert
kindly consented to accompany her
home now n mile distant. Stumbling
through Il piece of woods in a darkness
that might be felt, they reached the open
meadow where the storm was again rag
ing in fury, but now in snow and sleet
and piercing wind. Drenched to the
skin, with clothing stiffening and plas-
tered thick with snow, facing a sharp
cutting wind, it was as weary a mile as
ever IL women walked. Home was
reached at last where the horse had been
for some time. Beyond the drenched
clothing, a night of troubled dreams
where the bowling coyotes, the dense
darkness, the wind and storm again held
sway-and the fatigue natural from ex-
ertion and exposure no ill effect were ex-
pericnccd.

graphic and thrilling adventure of a for.

Mrs. Orlando Emmons had an expert.
ence last week with a mountain storm
that she will not care to repeat. She
was visiting at the ranch Of Mr.. John
Morton where Mr.. Emmons was engaged
in registering voters. Against the kind
invitations of her hosts she set out fol
her home ten miles distant. At 4 p. m
she passed the west fork and the long
grade safely, but passing the ranch OF
Robert Hudson met a furious storm OF
rain and wind and hail which her horse
could not face. Turning to go back tt
Mr.. Hudson's, she dismounted to open

Good News for Our Section.

A gentleman was in town today who
is in a position to be informed in regard
to the probable course of the Burlington
& Missouri railway, and he has no hesit-
ancy in saying that he believes the Bur-
lington will build to Great Falls much
earlier than is generally supposed, says
the Belt Valley Times. They have made
a traffic arrangement with the Northern
Pacific more favorable than was ever
deemed possible, but it is understood
that no conditions have been imposed a.
gainst further construction work. The
B. & NJ. will end at Billings only so long
as it is to the advantage of the company,
and it is probable that as soon as money
matters become easier the work of con-
struction will be rushed.
There are some ores between Billings
and Great Falls that the Burlington com.
pany is anxious to reach. The Black
hills country, through which the Bur.
lington runs, is Immensely rich in refrac.
tory ores, and the Burlington has found
vast quantities of free milling ores in
Montana that will more than pay the
freight to the Black Hills to be used o.
a fiux. The development of these mines
and shipment or free milling ores to tn.
Black Hills means only a small part o.
the immense advantage to this section
but that long haul on ore is a strong in.
dacement for the Burlington to construc
! the line as soon as possible.

The Greatest Cook ON Earth,

In 1891, Chas. E. Cunningham was en-
employed as chef de cuisine for the
Princeton scientific expedition which
travelled owe the greater part of Mon
tana. The squad composing the expedi-
ton was made up of picked scientists,
the renowned scholars of the east, men
who, like great editors, are always hung
ry. Before bidding farewell to Montana
these men of great brains and vigorous
stomachs, saw fit to furnish Mr.. Cum
ningham with the following testimonial
of his very valiant service:

''Hark From the tombs. The doleful sound
The jay-bird hoped on the frozen ground"
xonat

N"S 80 A"S u
The jay-bird hoped on the frozen ground"
-Sharkspyre.
A novel bet was made by a few young
men of this town about six weeks ago.
The parties who entered the agreement
were H. b. Mitchell, the astute editor of
the Miner; Alex Wright, our affable
postmaster; E. L. Murphy, city marshal
r. H. Bemis, who smiles at the ladies
when he passes letters to them from the
p~ostofice window; DR.. C. f. X. Vidal,
the popular chairman of the board of
health smelling committee); Geo. E.
Gum, of refined tastes and accomplish
ments, defined in "Helena's Social Sup
remacy;" Dan Macintosh, the agreeable
conductor on the Montana Central Tom.
Westgard, the biggest eater in Meagher
county and f. X. Abbott, whose princi-
cal attributes are rcpublicanism, A. 0.
U. w. and mild prevarication.
The terms Of the aforesaid agreement
were that each for himself and not one
for the other, should write a list of the
winning candidates in the election then
to come. These, after election, were to
be opened and compared with returns.
Then a superb oyster supper was to fol-
low, and the one missing the highest
number of winners, in his ante-election
guess, was to pay the expenses of said
supper.
OF course each man had the inside tip
or the result and knew exactly who
would carry the election. But when the
canvas was made it was found that none
had guessed all the winners. Z. l..
Murphy came nearest perfection by mis-
sing only one. And DR.. Vidal's guess
was the widest of all. He evidently
had used no judgement at all in making
his selections. He missed four out of a
possible nine, and on last Monday night,
entertained the company at his pleasant
home with one of the finest spreads of
tile season. f. M. Hall, who naturally
feels bad owe the result of the election
was present by special invitation.
The evening passed off most pleasant
lily. The agreeable and mastery host
knows how to superintcnd a banquet
and in capacity of entertainer shines with
a peculiar luster. Coupled with his i'll
luck in guessing, he had just won a box
of so cigars that cost 1925 per M, and
these were set out for the convivial
crowd.
Think of a lot of Neihart scrubs
smoking 1925 cigars. Then think of
| this same crowd in the anteroOm Of a
public entertainment appropriating
"stumps" which thOughtless individuals
may have left on the window castings.
The grotesqueness of the situation is
extremely remarkable.
Another funny side to the blowout
which is worthy of mention is the fact
| that if II. NJ. Wilson is successful in
testing his election, there is another
modest gentleman in this town who will
have to pay for the great supper inste nd
of thcDoctor.
