! son of James Collins, a ranchman living
on tho Muddy, in Teton county, got lost
| on his way home from school, and i'm all
probability would have persisted If the
teacher had not hunted for him in the
storm and taken him home. The little
fellows hand and face were badly frozen.

T.. and II was fittIngly observed in Great
Falls. The uniform rank, which boasts
a membership of nearly so. observed the
day by installing its new officers and by
giving a ball. Both were held at Realty
hall in the evening. The members of
Silver division No. 10. L. r., in full dress
uniform, made a memorable appearance
as they marched from the armory to the
hall. They drilled for an hour or so and
then awaited the commencement of the
installation ceremonies. The hall was
crowded when Sir Knight Gus G. Minter,
who had been deputized for the occasion,
called the vast assemblage to order and
then conducted the beautiful installa-
ton exercises. The following were
installed: NJ. L. Bridgeman, captain;
Sam French, first Lieutenant; AL Sires,
herald; j. W. Stanton, guard; Il. A. Gill
lespie, sentinel; Charles Wegner, treas
urer; John Terhune, secretary. Speeches

served at the Grand Central hotel and
was in every way in keeping with the oc-
casion.

last evening, devoted mostly to n discus
sion OF the best methods of raising money
with which to carry on the work of the
board during the coming season. A num-
Der of well-known citizens announced
. hnar 4
their subscriptions. Paris Gibson, Matt
Dunn and others said this was no time to
allow the question of funds to interfere
with carrying out the plans mapped out
for the year 1895. One or two merchants,
who have been very niggardly in the mat
ter of contributions. will be waited upon
at once and plainly told that if they have
the future welfare of the city at heart
they had better help out the citizens who
are doing everything that time and money
can do TO advance the interests of the
Cataract City. Tho secretary read sew
eral letters and communications relating
to enterprises which the board is endeav-
orinG to have located here, all of an en-
nature. Next Tuesdays meet
ing promises TO be unusually interest
