Bozeman. Feb. 22-In respect to the
memory of the Father of our Country
all stores were closed in Bozeman at
noon to-day and the banks, postoffice
and city and county officials offices
were closed all day. There was no
event of any importance by which to
| commemorate the day. but flags were
flying from many poles and at noon
the kids band, the Free Silver band.
got out and serenaded itself and all
the rest of the city. 1t is usual for
this band to happen out on holidays
when they always give a free open air
concert, and not only is the music of a
high order and most thoroughly appre-
ciated but the public spiritedness
which prompts the giving of the "hol-
iday concerts" is also commendable in
the youths.
Notice was received in Bozeman Sat
urday from the postofiice department
at Washington of a new postoffice es-
tablished on the West Gallatin river in
this county, to be known as Sheds.
About a year ago T.. Myron Ferris,
proprietor of the Ferris Hot Springs,
made application for the establishing
of an Office at the springs, the office
TO be known as Ferris Before his re-
quest was granted, however, another
Office was given the same name, down
in Custer county, and after having adj
Vertised the Ferris Hot Springs for
years Mr. Ferris did not intend TO have
their identity lost by establishing there
a postoffice with an entirely new name
and so he abandoned the scheme. This
new oft1ce-Sheds-is at SeVerns store,
near Sheds bridge, but half mile
west of Ferris Hot Springs. which
place it will supply with mail besides
supplying about 40 families in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. The new post
master will be Mrs. Mary j. Severns
and the mail will be supplied twice a
week from Bozeman, going out on the
Salesville stage
Bozeman people are proud OF Gala
tin county's game warden, James F.
keown. who is a hustler of the first
water. The first of the week he landed
Ed Hilderbrand i'm iail for killing bea-
vers and on Saturday morning he
brought in a fellow by the name of
Cartwright for the same offense. 1t is
! notable fact that so far every man,
| arrested by the game warden has
pleaded guilty as charged, until the
| case of Cartwright. who claims he is
| innocent. Although Cartwright declares
| he has killed no beavers, Mr.. Keown
| expects to produce seven beavers and
| two otter skins at the proper time as
proof of Cartwright's guf1t
| The operatta Little Red Riding
Hood" which was given in the opera
| house one week ago for the benefit of
the musical department of the college.

any of the churches or for any worthy

About 13 days ago a large American

young men on Sixteen Mile creek who
