A Wanderer RETURNS.

Most nimrods in this vicinity know OF
the two famous geese, "Hit" and "Miss, .
belonging to the Fin and Feathers club,
says the Burlington Free Press. These
geese are kept by Benajah Phelps at
Sand Bar Bridge and are known to be
over forty years old. Last year they
had four vigorous young geese and in
the autumn Mr.. Phelps clipped wing of
three of the young ones, but the fourth
was allowed to go at large, as 1t was
thought that she might make fine
decoy. The liberty was so much enjoyed
that she went south one day and nothing
had been heard from her till last week,
when she flew home and was driven
into the pen with the others. The near
ly eight months of travelling in the
sunny south has agreed with the wander
er, who will probably have to depend on
memory for some years to come, as her
wing is to be clipped in the future.

Lebet of some money some time ago in
a variety theater was dismissed by
Justice of the Peace Trap yesterday.

that Lebet's mind was so badly unbai-

and as there appeared no possibility of
securing "A conviction without him. Ny.
Connolly moved the dismissal of the
case. Lebet came to Butte about three
weeks ago to have a good time and re-

after many months of toll on a ranch
in the south. He had saved SIS ana
the first night of his visit, he lost il all.
He claimed to have spent about $50
and to have been touched for the rest.
He had the Woods woman arrested and
he was himself detained in the city Jail
To insure his presence as a witness. He
brooded over the loss of his money and
the confinement and finally became de-
ranged. He was sent back To the
ranch in the hope his reason would be
restored, but ii appears he is no better,

A Contract Job.

az was only ten years old when Sc
cured my first contract, said we'll
known contractor, who was in a talka-
tive mood.
"My father was living on farm at
the time, and as winter drew nigh be
conceived the plan Of turning the little
creek that ran through the farm into a
hollow near by, thus forming a pond
from which TO cut ice during the win
ter.
"My father figured up the cost, and
finding that it amounted TO more than
he had thought it would was about to
give it up, when looked the situation
over and told him that I would take
the contract for SO. He laughed and
told me to go ahead, not dreaming for
an instant that would have the ambi-
ton to begin on the work, as up TO that
time had not shown a liking for hard
labor.
II called the boys OF the neighbor-
hood together, and placed the situation
before them. The nearest pond was a
matter Of ten miles AWAY, and even a
boy with pair of brand new skates

that far for a skate. ! showed them
how, with little work, we could have a
place to skate right at home. They fell
IN with the idea, and we went to work
to carry out the plan.

was finished, and l think my father
was too, although be couldn't see for
the life of him how l managed to Sc

"With the first heavy freeze there
was a rush for the pond by the boys
that was only equaled by the rush away
from it when father discovered them
there and started after them with a
horsewhip.
"He said that he wasn't goin' to have
