The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1894-06-16

An event which had been looked for
for some weeks among the colored people
of Anaconda and surrounding towns, took
place at the M. E. church in Anaconda
last Monday evening. 1t was the occasion
Of the marriage of Mr.. Louis Ridley, head
waiter at the Montana, and Miss Clara
Garvey, who recently came from Helena
to reside in Anaconda. The wedding
was grand affair, and large number Of
friends and invited guests from sur
rounding towns gathered at Anaconda to
witness the ceremony. Deer Lodge was
represented by the popular waiter at the
West Side club rooms, Mr.. William H.
Adams, and wife.
Mr.. Con Coughlin came in yesterday
from Helmville and reports that an old
miner by the name Of Corbin, who has
been in that neighborhood for fifteen or
twenty years, was found dead in cabin,
on Thursday, five or six miles from
Helmvile. Corbin owned number of
quartz mining claims, some near Rimini
and some on Ogden mountain. He was
lately in some financial straits and had
wandered away, and had been missed for
about three weeks, when his body was
discovered as above stated. It is thought
that he committed suicide.
Geo. W. Dana, who lives on the Little
Blackfoot, had close call from lightning
one day last week. While milking a
| COW in his barn, a bolt of lightning struck
a post only a few feet away, cutting q
| wire ''slick and clean" which was wound
around the post: but doing no damage to
the barn. 1t was pretty close call, and
what puzzles George is, that the light
ming struck the post instead of the barn,
there being but few feet of space be-
tween them. The steel wire wound
| around the post near the top may have
had some influence on the lightning.
| In the "College Notes. Of last weeks
BoZeman Courier, we find the following:
"Our new president, Rev. James Reid,
will not be coming among strangers when
! he comes to make his home and take up
his work among us. Indeed, it would be
hard to find any locality in Montana where
he would be a stranger. For the present
We will extend him a hearty and quiet
welcome--during the summer We'll
practice the college yell, with which to
greet him in the fall.'
