who was in town Sunday we learn

Robert Shaw, for years a character
in Fergus county. died at IL O'Clock
had fallen off the porch of the Day
House and was picked up in an
insensible condition. The ravages Of
drink had carried him TO the brink
of the grave and the slight shock
doubtless broke the slender thread.
Deceased was a man of much ability,
had held positions OF honor in his
former home, Scotland; and also in
New York state in the SOS. For
years he had abandoned all except
drink.
Speculation as to the personality
of the deputy force in the court house
after January LIST next, is now ripe.
Clerk and Recorder Kelly announces
that his deputyship has been tender
ed to and accepted by H. A. Aoulton,
formerly superintendent of schools,
but at present a teacher in the
Lewistown schools. T~reasurer-elect
has made no announcement nor is 1t
even certain that he will employ a
deputy, while both Sheriff-elect Shaw
and Assessor-elect Fowler state that
their appointments will not be an
nounced for some time. AS regards
the sheriff's force it is generally ac-
cepted as a certainty that James
Weaver will receive the appointment
as deputy, while Dave Scott IL
mentioned for undersheriff and T. f.
Nichols for jailor, though these
names are used without Mr..
Shaw's consent. Another and more
reliable report ia that the under
sheriff will come from Gilt Edge.
The hose cart of the fire company
arrived Tuesday, and the same after
noon a majority of members of the
company and many citizens turned
out to try the new engine and
apparatus. The engine was pulled
by a few men to the creek bank In
front of the Big Tepee and with only
some twelve men ON the levers and
fifty feet of hose, q strong stream
was thrown over the front of the
Elkhorn stable, while with another
fifty feet of hose and more hands a
fire in any part OF the stable could
have been covered. Sufficient o. is
now on hand to carry al stream from
the creek to Fifth avenue, and should
occasion require, a fire six or seven
hundred feet from the creek could
now be quenched. At a meeting of
the company Monday night commit
tees were appointed to draft consti-
tuition and bylaws and to ascertain
the cost of erecting a fire stand over
the creek, which committees will Re
port tonight. Every member OF the
company should attend these meet
ings.
