Bozeman, April 15.-The young ladies
who have twice taken part in a Delsarte
| drill in this city. the last time being be-
| fore the delegates to the G. A. r. and
Woman's Relief Corps at the reception
given them during their eneampment
| held here last week are all in an ecstacy
! OF delight to-day. in fact they feel that
| they are amply repaid for the tedious
practice which alone gave the perfect
Glacefulness of movement which won for
them such applause at the time of their
| appearance before the old soldiers. This
feeling is the result of the appreciation
| shown by one of the old battle-scarred
veterans who witnessed their perform
ance upon that night. Senior Vice Com
mander George Heidi of Great Falls to-
day sent to each of the IA young la
dies who took part in the drill a magnin-
cent bouquet of hot house blossoms Not
only do the young ladies feel deeply this
compliment TO them. this generous ac-
acknowledgement of their efforts to please
Bozeman's esteemed visitors of last week,
but the citizens of Bozeman unite most
heartily in thanking this gallant soldier
for so handsome a remembrance as was
the beautiful lot OF flowers received here
to-day. 1t was a touch of chivalry worthy
an old soldier and citizen of fair Mon
tana.
The district court for Gallatin county
convened on Monday with Judge Arm
strong presiding, and a great grist of
cases will be ground out at this term of
court. The docket for this term of court
is matter of some IS cases and larger
number of cases than usual have been
set for hearing. There will be five GRIM
inal cases tried. beginning with that of
John Broadbent, who to-day will be tried
for assault in the second degree upon
the person of Byron Plumb. a ranchman
living 10 miles west of Bozeman i'm this
valley. The prosecution claims that
Broadbent attempted to kill Plumb. he
sneaking up behind and striking him
down; and believing him dead dragged
his body off into the bushes to hide his
crime. when he was discovered: while /
Broadbent says that he and Mr.. Plumb /,
had a row over some sheep: that Plumb 4
was about to strike him when he hit I
Plumb. and that Plumb In falling struck
against board which stunned him. The
court will try to decide the matter to-
day. Both of the parties implicated are
old residents and a good deal of interest
is being taken in this case. especially
among the ranchmen of the valley
The other criminal cases are going TO
be of considerable interest. The principal
case to come before this term of court
is that of Peter Scollick, who shot and
killed Philip Beadle at Timberline early
In March. his case being set for April q.
There are no important civil cases. but
with so many to be tried court will be
in session for more than a month and
the jury will be retained for nearly the
whole of this time.
