w. F. Burgy, proprietor of several
stage lines in Northern Montana, Is
suffering from a dislocated shoulder
sustained a few nights ago, while lost
in the blizzard. He was driving from
Choteau to Great Falls. Night over
took him near Lake Basin. The mer-
curry was lowering around the 25-below
point and the travellers progress was
made the more desperate by Tying
snow. Losing all trace of the tran, ne
got out to lead the team, and while
doing so, stepped into a washout, fall
ing several feet and dislocating MS
shoulder. Gathering himself up. he left
the team and, though in great pain
and worn out by exposure, he managed
to walk back three miles to a ranch.
where he was taken in and medical as
sistance summoned from Choteau.
A jury of physicians has been sum-
moned to examine into the sanity or
Mrs. Mason, a resident OF the west
side, who is thought to be unbalanced
mentally The examination will be con-
Quoted in the district court room to-
morrow.
S. S. Hobson, president of the Bank
of Fergus county, and Fred c. Poole,
prominent sheep man from the Ju-
dith country, arrived in the city to-
night. They report stock of all kinds
in first-class shape.
Four cases of diphtheria are report

which the disease exists. The police
department will be called on to see that

b. & NJ. smelter, was seriously injured
at a late hour last night. His right
arm was caught and dragged in be-
tween two rollers, nearly tearing 1t
from the shoulder before fellow work.
men were able to release him. Isaac
son was taken to Columbus hospital
for treatment, and 1t is not certain
whether he can survive the injuries re-
ceived and the shock to his system.
The man has been singularly unfortu-
nate of late. He had just been dis
charged from the hospital, where he
had been under treatment for a crushed
foot, and less than a month ago his
little home and it's contents at Little
Chicago were destroyed by fire.
Two or three boys were dragged into
court to-day and one of them fined for
annoying Mrs. Dewey by throwing
snowballs through the windows of her
residence. Judge Hawkins patched the
trouble up as best he could, reprimand-
ed the boys, and peace reigns in that
part of town once more.
A sneak thief stole a package of an

kins Saturday noon. The crooks, who
may in the future come before his hon
or, will do well to avoid chanting
hymns of any character, as the act
would likely increase their sentence
materially.
THE mail facilities between Great
Falls and the Judith basin have been
abominable for some time back" said
a well-known citizen of Lewistown,
now in the city. For instance, not
until yesterday did receive the STAN
dard of Jan. 6, 10 and Is. 1 like to get
my Standard not more than three days
old, but / can't stand a week or ten
days. / was told at Belt that there
were several sacks of papers destined
for the Judith basin that have been
lying in the Belt postoffice several days.
If such is the case, 1t is an outrage up
on the citizens of the Judith country.
The weather has not been so bad that
the stages cannot make good time. The
mail from Fort Benton is far more sat
isfactory. i hope the Standard will
give the matter publicity. so that the
department will do something to rem
edy the existing state of affairs"
