The bonding plan that has been be-
fore the county commissioners for some
time past was practically settled yes

nit to the voters the proposition 10
bond the county in the sum Of 800 600
to be used in the erection Of new
court house. In order that no legal
techncaiity might come up 10 knock
the scheme in the head. County Attof-

FOOTBALL TALK.
Game With the University of Nebraska
Declared on.

The football game between Anaconda
and Missoula. If which there had been
some talk and which was to have been
played to-day, has fallen through, ow-
ing to the failure Of the Missoulas to
respond TO the kilograms sent to the
Garden City team by Manager McMil-
Ian. 1t is likely that the Aissoula boys
were unable to obtain the guarantee
which would warrant the Anaconda
team to go to that place.
Mention has been made If the prob
ability of a game between the Ana. jnaa
club and the team Of the Nebraska nni
xersity. This game. it is 10 be regretted.

James Whalen, n fireman, and other
witnesses could add nothing TO the eNi-
denee. and the jury returned a verdict
that the deceased had come b. his
death by being run over by car i'm
train On the r., A. 4 +, railroad train.
and that the company was exonerated
from ali blame.
From the testimony It is probable
that Toomey was leaning over the end

and 1t did 50 with a Jar. and that
Toomey was sent headlong onto the
rail. No arrangements have yet been

son equipage, to say nothing Of the large
quantity of artillery, small arms, and am
munition, he could have readily allowed
Sherman barren march to the sea.
Had he been successful he wonld have
been credited with outwitting Sherman, who
would have been condemned for making the
trip to the sea, leaving the whole country
in his rear exposed. The good work of
Thomass improyised army made Sherman's
march grand success, which has been
immortalized in prose and verse.
Thomass order of battle was full report
of what was done. He ordered; it was
obeyed. At given signal our entire line
moved forward with a whoop and yell,
engaged, from the cavalry on the right to
the dusky sons of Mars, under Steedman, on
the left.
The plan was without a flaw, and the
General whose peerless wisdom projected 1T
had the consunmate skill to accomplish it
in all its details, from the opening volleys of
the left wing, where the colored troops bore
the National flag, up to the very intrench-
ments of the enemy, and breasted the hurt
ling storm of lead and flame and steel to
the awful tempest of death which rained in
torrents of blood upon the quaking breast of
Overton's Hill. The victory was complete,
and both Sherman and Thomas were heroes.
During the battle a number of prisoners
were taken to Thomas, who ordered them
sent to Nashville under a colored guard.
Some of these were from South Carolina,
and did not relish the idea of being escorted
