ALL OVER THE COUNTY
THE WEEKS RECORD OF THE DOlNGS OF A PROS
Porous AND HAPPY PEOPLE,

Stock, Cave and Orrick Duncan Great
ed much mirth, but when Charley
Morris and Henry Adkins supported
in the background by the entire
came out-allee same as darkies-and
sang ''De bull-frog" am no Nighten-
gale and the regular old walk-round
song-"The Lime Kiln Club the
laughter and applause was immense.
The participants in these perform
ances-and especially the different
committees-deserve much praise and
many thanks from the people for the
pleasant manner in which they have
been entertained.
On New Years eve Rev. J. L. Mar
quis tied the nuptial knot and started
Mr.. Chas. Young and Miss Mabel Nc
COrmack-twO of our worthy young
people of Pony-on their passage
through life in the matrimonial ve-
hicle. That it may roll smoothly along
on the beautiful highway of prosperity
and happiness is the wish of their many
friends.
Hon. w. w. Morris, superintendent
of the Filing and norris group, often
comes down from the mines with a smil-
ing cOuntenance, which naturally leads
one to infer that everything is lovely
up there.
w. S. Crews is over in Helena. 1t
has not leaked out whether it is a sem
atorial or a matrimonial bee that is
buzzing around on the inside of his hat.
Just before daylight, on the Sd inst.
the Pony train ran into band Of Thos.
Hunts cattle which were on the track
opposite his house. Two of them were
instantly killed while ten others were
so bodily manned that their owner was
compelled to kill them. Such whole
sale accidental slaughter seldom Oc-
ours. although Mr.. Hunt had three of
/ his cattle killed-all in bunch-by
! lightning on the range last summer.
The announcement of the death of
H. c. Harrison, although not unex-
pected caused a feeling of profound
sorrow throughout the entire COM
munity. He died, after short illness,
at his home near Harrison, in this val
tley, on the 7th inst, in the 9th year
of his age. In him we lose one of our
best citizens-a man universally es-
teemed and respected for his many
noble traits of character.
Mr.. Harrison's 9 native state was New
York, but in early life he came to
Minnesota, from whence he came to
Montana in 1862 with what was known
as the Fisk train, arriving in Bannack
in the fall OF that year. The following
spring he went from Bannack to Vir-
ginia City and remained in Alder
Gulch until the spring of 1864 when he,
in company with D. E. Folsom, took up
rancho here on Willow creek. Soon
after that however he went back to
Alder Gulch and erected a saw mill,
which he operated until 1866. when he
returned and settled down on his
rancho, having bought Mr.. Folsom g
interest in the meantime. He served
two terms as county commissioner
with great credit to himself and bene-
fit to Madison county, and by his abili-
ty and untiring unergy made a model
rancho of his property, amassed a COM
potency of this worlds goods, and was
about to retire when Death claimed
him,
In 1879 he married an estimable lady
Miss Elmerette Gear-whO survives
him. Two sisters and a brother now
live in minneapolis. He was buried on
the 10th inst. at the Harrison cemetery
Rev. J. l.. Marquis preaching the
sermon-and his funeral was one of the
largest that ever occurred i'll the val
ley. He requested to be buried either
in Virginia City or Minneapolis, and
in the near future his remains will be
disinterted, but to which place they
will be removed is not yet decided. B.
