The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1896-02-28

SAo, wv Ao'o NJ 1dltu III Iue luteSrlty Ol
any man, have been getting in their nasty
work within recent weeks in this city.
Ridiculous stories, too childish for dis
cussion and too unreasonable for consid-
GRAFTON, have been circulated by these
cold-livered scandal mongers concerning
the public servants Of Anaconda. They
regard themselves as the guardians of
the public veal. They think it neces-
sary for them to be eternally upon the
Watchtowers Of the city to prevent the
very battlements from being stolen. All
the time they are on guard, at ght, they
are busy circulating insidious lies and in
nuendoes concerning men whose charac-
ters are above reproach. Anaconda does
not get excited very much over these
kind OF stories, however. 1t is pretty
generally understood that they are the
tales of people who think they have more
than their share of the worlds burdens
to bear.
The leasing Of the race track by Mr..
Upton of Kentucky assures Anaconda of
q first-class season of racing this fall 1t
is marvellous how many good driving
horses are now owned in this city. Every
body seems to be out for good horse.
Some people who probably cannot af-
ford it very we'll are even anxious for a
race horse. The horsemen are busy.
There are Il goodly number Of fine ami
mails now wintering at the track, and the
trainers who make their headquarters
there are kept pretty busy. 1t seems that
Mr.. Tipton intends to spend good deal
more money this year upon the meeting
than has ever been expended before. The
prizes are to be very liberal. Men thor
oughly familiar with the racehorse bust
ness are to be brought from q distance to
occupy the judges stand, and to handle
the flag at the starters post. The meet
ing will be advertised all over the north
west. No money will be spared by the
management to bring people with fast
horses and multitldes who like good
racing to Anaconda during the meeting
The announcement is made that the
Helena Mandolin and Guitar club would
like to visit Anaconda sometime soon and
give an entertainment for the amusement
Of the people of this city. 1t is said that
this is a musical organization Of consid-
cradle talent and that the entertainments
given in other cities of the state have
been very we'll received by the public.
Some doubt is expressed, however, about
this aggregation of talented musicians
from the capital city coming to Ana
! conda. They undoubtedly have heard
| through the Helena press and from Hell
eDa speakers how Anaconda is the rem
devious for thugs and plug-uglies, the
| home Of the "vicious classes" place
where crime is rampant and stalks un-
hindered through the public streets,
The young ladies and gentlemen who
compose this mandolin club must have
read in the Helena newspapers, during
the capital fight, how Anaconda is OBJ
scured in snlelter smoke for "a hours of
every day in the year. and how danger
Gus it is for the health of any delicate
person to come into this community even
for short visit. With knowledge OF
these facts in the minds Of the Helena
Mandolin and Guitar club, it would seem
like a very foolhardy piece of business
for the members Of the organization to
risk their lives by paying visit to this
| one mans town.
