lady who will be employed at Coloma in
the capacity Of school teacher unless the
unmarried young miners OF that town
take TO shooting at each other for the
possession of her heart and hand. In the
latter case she will probably marry Jack
for protection, for Jack is as likely
young bachelor as ever maiden smiled on.
IL seems the unmarried men at Coloma
largely outnumber the married folks.

school teacher for the district and select

wanted coy and gushing maiden, and |
not an antedeluvian. They selected Jack |
as their candidate, while the other side
put up solemn-looking old fellow who
was credited with being the father OF
fourteen children. The one selected by
the meeting was TO be named az trustee
and would be empowered 10 hire school
teacher,
Somebody suggested that the voting be
by ballot, but Jack suggested to his oppo-
nent that the easiest way out OF it would
be to shake dice TO see who should be
elected. The old man had once ran up
against loaded dice box in Helena and
was suspicious OF Jack, so he decided to
take his chances at the ballot box. Out
OF 20 votes cast Jack got 10 and he was
declared the duly elected school trustee for
the district. But his troubles only began
with his election. When he announced
that he would come to Butte to ger a
teacher the old folks warned him that if
he brought anything but mature lady
TO the town they would boycott her.
The unmarried men as vigorously de-
clared that if be brought anything but a =
winsome and loyab!e lass back with him
there would be lynching bee in the town
