We wish to inform the Great
Falls Tribune that Dupuyer does
not claim the honor of having had
H.. r. Scullin, recently convicted
of forgery in Great Falls, as a resi-
dent. He has been here once or
twice, but never engaged in busi-
ness here, nor had any business
connections with any of u citiz-
ems. Choteau or Robare may
claim him, but not Dupuyer.
The quarantine of Teton county
against diseased sheep is a good
thing, and it is to be hoped that it
is not already too late. The dis
ease is approaching perillously near
our boundries and every means
should be taken to avoid it's further
encroachment. 1t is to the inter-
est of private individuals as we'll as
public officers to do their utmost to
keep out a disease the spread OF
which must impoverish not only
the sheepmen, but nearly every
individual in the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. Mcknight
gave an cat home at their resi-
dence last Thursday night at which
a large number of their friends
from town and country assembled.
Dancing and whist playing occu,
pied the guests until near morning.
All enjoyed themselves, thanks tc
the excellent management an6
courteous demeanor of the host
and hostess. 1t was one of those
parties that lend a charm to socia'
life and make people better pleased
with friends and neighbors.
Thos. McGovern, of Robare, was
up before Judge Magee on Satur.
day on "a charge of selling whisky
by retail without a license. Mr..
McGovern has a wholesale license
and claimed that he did rot sell by
retail. County Attorney Sulgrove
was present to prosecute and
Treasurer Bristol to testify as to
the license, Several witnesses
were examined that had been al
McGovern's place on Feb. 4th. 1t
appeared to be difficult to deter
mine whether the whisky sold on
that occasion were by wholesale Oh
retail. At any rate the Judge con
cluded the evidence damaging
enough to fine the defendant five
dollars and costs, in all amounting
to $50. so, which was paid.
