Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
LIVINGSTON, April 2.-March went out
like lamb in this vicinity and the LIST of
April was perfect spring day. The air
was balmy, the sun shone brightly aud
the birds sang their sweetest lay. The
past winter has been unusually favorable
TO stock interests, and the cattle on
thousand hills are sleek and fat. The
southern slopes are already beginning to
don their garb of green and the farmers
are busily engaged in blowing and seed
ing. The outlook for the coming season
hereabouts is exceptionally bright and
this city promises to witness the dawn of
a more prosperous era before the autumn
leaves again begin to fall.
The regular monthly meeting of the city
council, which should have been held
Monday evening, was adjourned until
Tuesday evening of next week on account
of no quorum being present. Consider
able business of importance will De tram
sacted at the adjourned meeting. Among
other things that will engage the attention
of the council will be tie making of the
annual appropriations for the fiscal year
and the fixing of salaries of the Incoming
city officials. 1t is the opinion of several
members of the council that the present
salaries are too high and an effort will be
made to have them reduced. The men,
bers opposed to the reduction will make
a strong fight and a lively time is ex-
pected.
Last Sunday the 17-year-old son of Mr..
Mcintyre, a hotel keeper of Glendive, ran
away from home and reached this city
Monday evening. About 10 o'clock at
night the police were notified by tele-
gram from the boys father to watch the
trains and arrest the lad if found. After
considerable search the night policemen
finally found the runaway in "a shack by
the river. The lad consented to return
home and was furnished with ticket to
Glendive, being accompanied by Northern
Pacific Claim Agent Williams, who hap
pened to be in the city en- route to Glen
dive from trip TO Helena. The lad was
without money and had set out for the
Pacific coast in a box car. He said Glen
dive was too slow for him and that his
father was simply wasting his money in
buying him a ticket back home, for he
would start out again the first chance he
got.
j. E. Swindlehurst and Paul Zuber are
back from a trip to the Natural Bridge
mining district, where the former gentle
man is interested in a group of valuable
mines. The district is attracting general
attention just now and large numbers of
prospectors are already flocking to the
new Eldorada. On Saturday a party of
mining men from Butte and Anaconda
returned from an inspection of the
properties of the State Mountain Mining
& Milling company. The party was
composed of Frank Beck of Butte and
John Beck and Bob Worrell or Anaconda.
These gentlemen secured samples of ore
from the different mines in the district
and if the assay pans out as expected
they will interest themselves and others
in the new gold camp.

bon will operate to deprive Under Sheriff

May 1, and as Mr.. Sichler was appointed
from Red Lodge, where all his interests
arc, Sheriff Young has decided to let him
out in preference to the dismissal of ID. n.
