ing Dixon's fierce onslaughts of body
blows. but Dixon had the best of the
round.
In the second Connolly was not so lively
and received a series OF telling blows on
the face and body and on the top of the

OF his colored antagonist, and after get

ANOTHER VERSION
OF THE CENTENNIAL WHITE
GAP STORY.
The Former Account Said TO Have
Been ExaETerated-ROh BOatmau
Has Desigus-News From Alnska-
Personal Mention

MAGDALEN, Aug 5.-[Special Cor
respondence] Robert Boatman and
Ralph Peterson are keeping bachelors
hall, at Murphy place. Robert has just
returned from Virginia City with lot
of housekeeping goods. We believe
that either he or Will Metzel is get
ting ready to take unto themselves a
better half. We trust that they will
keep us posted and not let the wedding
happen without our knowledge.
The White Can story is greatly ex-
agerated. We would like to say that
the man who did up the white cap was
not assisted by his wife, and we do
think that if man and wife have
trouble, even to separation, that the
neighbors have no right to interfere in
the shape of White Caps, on behalf of
either party. The reason l did not
send in an account of the affair l was
requested not to do so, but it would per-
haps have been better if had and told
all the facts.
In letter from Gus Clemens who is
in the mining camp on the Yukon river
Alaska, says that everything is over
done, and all provisions very high. He
would not advise one to make the trip
expecting to do better than in Montana
for this is by far the best country.
S. V. Bromer of St. Paul, Mimi, has
been the guest of W. N. Culver for the
past ten days. He is looking up the
creeks and locating them more correct
ly than they are on the maps. Later l
expect to have some very interesting
facts to relate.
Dick Murry of Lake Idaho, and Miss
Mable Canton Of the same place were
married short time ago and have
taken the Burnside place by the lake
for home. !.
A Butte butcher bought 100 head OF
beef cattle from Metzel, Blake and
Wetmore, this week.
W.-N. Culver bought fine work
team of Robert Boatman a few days
ago.
Ed Bake & Co., moved their beef
steers into Alaska basin the past week.
Sam Burnside has put in dry goods
as well as groceries at Monida
SUMMIT.

"A Trip to Wonderland" !"

Notwithstanding the present low
rate to Yellowstone National park and
return, the Northern Pacific has ar
ranged with the Park Transportation
company and Hotel association to join
them in making sweeping reduction
for a special excursion from Butte.
They have name ad round trip rate Of
$50, children under 10 years of age $25,
which will include all expenses en-
route, railroad fare Butte to Cinnabar'
and return, double berth each way in
Pullman standard sleepers, stage trans
portatiOn through the the park, FIVE
and three-quarter days board and lodg~
ing. Aug. "a has been selected for the
date on which the excursion will leave
Butte as at that time there will be no
large parties going into the park and
the Butte excursionists will virtually
have the park to themselves. The
train will leave Butte at 1890 p. mr.
arriving at Livingston the following
morning, where breakfast will be TAX
en- at the Albermale hotel. At s
o'clock the train will leave for Cinni-
bar, arriving at 1915 a. m. of the 25th,
where the trip through the park will
commence. The excursionists will
leave the park Friday night, the Both,
at S:3O'p m, reaching Butte Saturday
morning, the 3lst, at 9:l5 a. IN. The
sleepers will be run both ways between
Butte and Cinnibar avoiding change
of cars at Livingston. The hotel ac-
commodations in the park are strictly
first-class, with steam heat, electric
lights, bath facilities. The stages are
the finest in the world. People con-
templating this trip need have no fear
of crowding as the excursion will be
limited to certain number. You
should, therefore, lose no time in max
ing arrangements for sleeping car,
stage and hotel accommodations. For
maps of the park showing route and
points of interest visited, in fact, Civ
ing all details, in reference to the trip
through the park, call on or write

LAURN, Aug. 7.-[Special Cores
pondence. ]-Wilcomb Bros, have an
elegant store building Of it's kind, and
they may we'll feel proud of it. The
ceilings are high and the glass front
gives most excellent light for the
displaying of goods. The compo-board
walls and ceiling are painted, giving
the inside neat appearance. They
have 80 feet of painted counters and
the shelving is the new adjustable iron
bracket shelving, which displays goods
OF all description in an attractive way.
This stand is one of the oldest in the
county and one that has met with the
best of success from the time of it's
opening down to the present. Mr.. J.
g. Laurin established trading point
here in 1853, dealing principally with
the Indians. At this early day arti-
cles of food, clothing, building mater
ial ETC., was extremely high. Mr..
Laurin informs us that the front door
Of the old store cost him $50. Also one

30 He Wrote the President For Money 10
Start Housekeeping.
Ever since some wag put afloat the
story that the president had given pres
ent Of money to the parents Of twins or
triplets the White House mail has been
filled with letters Of application on that
score, and it is estimated that at least
$40, 900 day might be disbursed there
at the rate Of $500 to each applicant. A
sample Of the kind of letter that comes
in the mail to the president is the fol-
lowing, which was sent by man in
Texas:
Mr.. President Cleveland:
DEAR SIR-I see you are giving $500 for twins.
Please send me 500 right away. for I am going
to get married this week to q girl that is
twin. / come from twin getting stock, SO you
will see that there Is no risk to be run, and
when my wife has twins I will draw on you
for the balance. l need the money to start
housekeeping with. I am in good health and 50
Ia the girl am going to marry. have always
been Democrat. voted for you the first
time and will vote for you again and name the
twins after you. Don't disappoint me. for
may have to get married sooner.
In another case q woman writes that
she has failed, after waiting a year, to
get that $500 that the president is said
to give to the parents Of triplets, and
now she is willing to compromise ON the
basis Of the money for the first pair Of
pants for her little Cleveland. The
clerks at the White House do not permit
any OF these effusiOns to reach the preSi-
dent, and they are not even dignified
with an answer now that they have be-
come SO numerous and annoying, for OF
course there is not word Of truth in
the story that the president has ever be-
slowed such bounties. Cincinnati En-

prices, of course, do not exist now. On
the other hand, they are to the other
extreme. For instance, -four in early
days cost $3.50 per 100 pounds, now
you can get an excellent quantity for
$1.65 per 100 pounds and other things
in proportion.
The members composing the firm of
Wilcomb Bros, are, as we believe,
made of the right stuff, and with the
new building, and the new goods which
they are getting in, assure all who may
patronize them that they will be prop
erly dealt with, and the voice Of the
entire community is that success may
attend them.
