The expected change in the post office
did not occur yesterday, owing to the in
ability of the retiring and incoming Off
GERS to agree upon a price for the fixtures
of the office. Unless an agreement is
reached, a delay of several weeks may be
occasioned in the transfer, and it may
be that new fixtures will be put in by the
new postmaster.
A supply of dynamite, fifty pounds in
all, was received at the capitol this
morning. The work of blasting has
been interfered with for some days, ow-
ing to the exhaustion of the supply of
dynamite, and that which was received
today was shipped nearly three weeks
ago. The blasting is going on merrily
today, and considerable stone being
taken out.
Trains from the west are about
three hours late these days, owing
to q fire in the Bozeman tunnel,
which is over 1900 feet long, and
which has been sealed up until the fire
goes out. The two trains meet at that
point, and passengers have to be trans
ferred by team about two miles, this
causing the celay. The read is building
a temporary track over the tunnel, and
trans will be on time in a day or SO.
Rev. Harold E. Monser of Blakeley,
CAL, came in yesterday morning from
jamestown where he has been attending
the @. E. meeting, and occupied the pull
pit at the Presbyterian church yesterday
morning and evening. Mr.. Monser is a
forcible and impressive speaker, and he
will lecture at the church tonight on
novels and novel reading. He will lee
ture in the larger towns along the road
east, this week, and begins next week
upon a lecture tour in Minnesota.
The prairie fire which ragged north of
the city yesterday swept over a large
space, and destroyed much standing
grass. It started back of Harvey's and
swept from there up near John Myers
place, and then down to Sebry's, clean
ing up whatever stood in it's way. The
fire could be plainly seen last night,
when it still burned fiercely. It is said
the fire was started by children, who fred
off an old shot gun, the fire catching
.rom the wadding.
