Their train came over to town for a
few minutes and the boys availed them
selves of the opportunity to lay in a
fresh supply of coffee. Three squads of
men under the command of as many cor

purchased about barrel of coffee. When
they returned to the depot with the

surrounded by the balance of the com

THE SKATING CONTEST.

1t Proves ii Close Contest Norman wal
lace Gets the Medal a Foul Claimed.
The skating contest at Williams rink
last Thursday drew d crowd and was
interesting from start to finish The
time made was excellent, the five miles
being finished in q minutes or fraction
less. When it is remembered that the
professional record time is 1914 minutes,
it will be seen that the amateurs last
night got IA professional gait on them.
There were five entered for the race. but
it was really between Norman Wallace
and II. b. Brown. A. f. Sparling who
made a brilliant start, lost one of his
y skates after few laps and was in conse-
quence practically out of the race, and
s the other two had no show from the
start. Wallace and Brown we're about
neck and neck at the finish, and when
about thirty feet from the goal on the
last lap came together with the result
that both fell down and Wallace
scrambled over the line first, taking
the medal Browns friends claimed
foul and allege that the accident was
caused ny Wallace trying to pass Brown
on the inside, position which they
claim he had no right to take. 1t is not
unlikely that another match between
these two men may yet be arranged to
settle the question.
Fred Arkell was awarded the gentle
mans prize for the best fancy skating,
and Miss Mabel Shane received the
ladies' prize for the best fancy skating.
Z. Everett was awarded the prize for
the most comical costume, and Miss
Myrtle Millett the prize for the best
costume
The rink presented gay ana attrac
i've appearance and every one enjoyed
the evenings sport, the ice being in the
best of condition.

A good many settlers from Mime; ota
have arrived here during the last year
and taken up land in this section of the
state. Most of these gentlemen have
selected lands in Burton's colony under
his big irrigatipg ditch and will try the
western method Of farming with irriga-
tion. These men are all practical farm
ers, possessed of SONS means. and are
very desirable class of settlers. This
week couple of substantial Minnesota
farmers arrived from Sherburn, Martin
county, Mimi, to look over the bench
land Immediately surrounding this city
with view of locating about dozen
families here in the spring. They were
shown around the city and were very
much delighted with what they saw and
neard and expressed the opinion that this
section of Montana presented rare in
ducements to the practical farmer, and
that quite number of their friends
would locate near the city next spring.
They left yesterday for Choteau to take
look at the Burton tract, as some of
\ the parties they represent desire to Oh
tain large tracts of land which can be il
rigated, while others prefer to locate
near tho city and engage in farming with
the advantage of good market within
easy reach of them. The price paid for

Tho Copper Dippers' Union gave their
second annual ball Saturday night at the
| Realty block hall There were present
about 100 couples, just about enough to
give comfortable dancing room on the
large floor and the occasion was thor
oughly enjoyed by those present The
various committees had done their work
80 well that there was nothing lacking
for comfort or pleasure of their guests.
The music was furnished by Prof. Race s
orchestra and Prof Wallace acted as
prompter. The supper was spread in
the spacious dining rooms of the Grand
Central hotel and the guests were not
obliged to walk out doors to get to the
supper table 1t is needless to say that
the supper was excellent as the landlord
of the Grand Central has reputation
for furnishing the best of everything on
these occasions and his reputation did
not suffer by the spread last night.
The following are the officers Of the
Copper Dippers Union and the commit,
tees to whom is due the credit of getting
up one of tho pleasantest balls of the
