one year. Mrs. Evans has been suffer
ing from la grippe for some weeks past
and is now at the home Of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Powell, in this city.
They will soon be at home again on their
ranch west of town.
Mrs. C. s. Schroeder has been seriously
i'll of inflammatory rheumatism for some
days past, suffering much pain both day
and night. AS she did not seem to i'm
prove much from medical treatment
here, it was decided to take her to the
springs, and yesterday Mr.. Schroeder
took her up to Gregson Springs.
AS will be seen from perusal of the
"College Corner" in this issue, the mu
sical department of the college, under di
rection of Miss Petersen, is making ar
rangements to give a concert at Cotton
wood hall at an early date-probably
March II. The entertainment should be
we'll patronized by the people Of this city.
s. E. Larabie's children sold their
Shetland pony, "Skeeter," this week to
Frank Boucher, clothing merchant of
Butte, and the little pony was put in a
cage and shipped to that city Wednesday
night. Upon his arrival in Butte, "Skee
ter' will be placed on exhibition in one
of Boucher's show windows as sort of
advertising scheme, and every person
purchasing $40 worth of goods will re-
ceive ticket emitting the holder to a
chance to win the pony in drawing.
| An action to quiet title has been
brought in the district court by Ernest,
Albert and Louis Beaudette against
Granville Stuart, James Fl. Mills ct al,
to parcel of land, 20 acres, on the north
bank Of the south fork of Dempsy creek,
known as the Montana marble quarry.
The plaintiffs claim the quarry under
relocation made July 1s, 1896, and their
complaint asserts that at the time of
making said location the ground was
abandoned, unoccupied and unappropri
ated.
Sheriff VIM. M. Quinn and w. S. Lewis,
of Albion, Idaho, left for that place to-
day having in charge Fred Gleason, who
has been in the county Jail here for some
days awaiting the arrival of Sheriff Quinn
with the necessary papers. Gleason and
a man named Jack Davis are supposed to
have killed John G. Nelson and Daniel
Cummins in Cassia county, Idaho, some
Is months ago, growing out OF a war be-
tween the cattlemen and sheepmen Of
that county, the murdered men belonging
to the latter. Davis is in the Arizona
penitentiary. Heavy rewards have been
offered for these men by the state and by
| Wool Growers association.
Lew Coleman has received commu-
nication from ]. S. Wisner, adjutant of
George G. Meade Post, G.. A. r., Ana
conda, in which he states that that post
has received authority from the depart
ment commander to establish "Picket
Post" at Deer Lodge, to be known as
"Picket Post No. l." The department
encampment is to be held in Anaconda
this year-probably sometime in April
and the Anaconda post is anxious that
the old soldiers of Deer Lodge and vicin
ity should become a part of their organ
body. What action will be taken in the
matter by the veterans of Deer Lodge
we are not advised, but it is probable
meeting will soon be called to consider
the matter.
Sam Scott and his son Will were visit
ors in Anaconda this week and the Stand
ard, in noting their presence in that city,
says: s'Sam B. Scott and son Will of
Deer Lodge were guests in Anaconda.
Wien Sam opens hotel in this city then
indeed will this be the seat of county
government. Many of the old-timers
who have business in the courts have
been SO accustomed to stopping at the
Scott house that they do not and cannot
realize that a court is a court under other
conditions. Mr.. Scott has been in that
business for 40 years aud though he has
not announced his intention of moving
to Anaconda, if he does so the news will
be hailed as not the least of the gains to
this city made by the people who de-
clared it the county seat
