Blackfoot Opening.

Thoroughly Prospected.

Great Falls. March 6-Reports from the
Blackfoot agency are to the effect that
intending locaters are already on the
ground in large numbers waiting for the
word to start. If one-half of the hopes
are realized there will be 100 saloons and
a dozen real estate offices at the edge of
the strip a month before the place is
thrown open to settlers and prospectors.
1t is stated in this city that there will be
at least two townsites started, one at st.
-Mary's, which will be real town, with
water power and smelters and refineries
and all of that sort of thing looming up

in this city who intend to be ON hand, but
they will not go up there until the last

A SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Little Hope Entertained for the Recovery

Little Hope Entertained for the Recovery
of Parker.
Great Falls March 6.--The following de-
tailed account of the fight between Lon
ME Curry and Shorty Parker is taken
from the Chinook Opinion. A brief story
has been given in the Standard of Thurs
day:
"Ionnie Curry and w. w. Lamkin were
in Chinook last Monday From the for
mer particulars of the last shooting af-
fray in the mountain district were learn
ed. Curry was returning to Landusky last
Saturday on the stage and stopped in
Charles Perry's store at st. Pauls mis-
sion. While there he went in behind the
counter to get match and Shorty Par
ker opened the door and had him COW
cred with a revolver when he turned
around. He dropped behind the counter
and crept to the end of the same When
he jumped out Parker shot simulta-
neously with him. Parker received Cur
rvs shot in the arm near the elbow, but
his aim was not so good and the smoke
from his gun backened Curry's hat. A
couple more shots were exchanged with
out damage before Curry ran in and
used his gun as a club. Curry came back
to Harlem and from there to Chinook,
as he heard the sheriff was at this place,
and reported the affair to Sheriff Clary.
Parker Is reported to be in dangerous
condition and but small hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery"

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Connolly Struck Sheep Herder for Not
Digging Up.


Great Falls. March 6.-Dan Connolly
was arrested this evening by officer Cur
ry and charged with assault and battery.
A sheep herder from the Marias, John
Dodd by name, has been in the city for
about a week indulging in a protracted
spree, and Connolly has been with him
part of the time. To-day Dodd sold his
horse and put 500 of the price paid in the
keeping of the bartender at beer hall.
Connolly was with him at the time and
saw the transaction. He continued to
follow Dodd and managed to get him out
into the vacant lot to the west of the
beer hall. During all of this time he had
been importuning Dodd for money, and
space he made demand for 81. Dodd
struck him a heavy blow under the chin,
Telling him to the ground. Several heard
the conversation and witnessed the blow.
One of the bystanders summoned Officer
Curry, who arrested Connolly and took
him to the station. While the act on the
face of it looked like a bold attempt al
robbery, the fact that both Connolly and
Dodd were intoxicated at the time and
that the affair took place in the pres
ence of others. gives it the appearance
of over familiarity with a friend. Do6d
accompanied the prisoner to the station
and swore to the complaint but seemed
to still be on friendly terms with him, ey-
identity being too drunk to appreciate the
seriousness of his friends predicament
The case will come up for trial tomorrow
morning

IN BASIN.
The People Thoroughly Aroused Over "a
New Road Project.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Basin, March 5.-The people of Ba-
sin are just now thoroughly aroused
over the subject of a road from this
place up Basin creek. and If the board
of county commissioners does not take
some favorable action in the matter,
they are going to be greatly dsap-
pointed. For distance of from Is 10
20 miles up this creek the country is
full of mining claims. many of which
have the most favorable indications of
developing into good mines, but bet
ter wagon road is badly needed in or
der to get at them To advantage. Not
only is the country full OF good pros
poets, but there are already several
mines fairly well developed and pro-
ducing considerable ore. The products
of these properties now have To be
handled over heavy grades to other
shipping points, whereas if there was
a good road down Basin creek this pro-
duct would come to Basin and the
mineowners would have the advantage
of a down grade for hauling. Every
citizen of this town wants the road.
and all the claimowners and mine
owners on the creek are also clamur-
ing for it. Petitions are now being cir
culated 10 be presented To the commits
sioners at their meeting Monday. ask
ing them for a liberal approximation
an effort To raise money for this pur-
pose by popular subscription. and
everybody is determined TO see this
much-needed road put through this
spring. The successful accomplish
ment of this will mean a great deal to
the development Of this section OF JEFF
ferson county The road should have
been built years ago.
