Great Falls, Feb. 21.-The probabilities
are that before many moons Choteau VIII
have a national bank, says the Montan-
IAN With this in view, James McDeV1tt
was here this week negotiating with Re-
ceiver Mcdonald for the purchase OF the
Choteau bank building. Though the deal
was not closed and Mr.. McDevitt has
gone away, it is believed that it will be.
AS the difference in the price asked and
offered was but 5000, it will not be hard
to make terms. The proposed bank 1t Is
understood, is to have paid up capital
OF $5o000 $4,000 of which Mr.. McDeVitt
will take and the balance of $4,000 Will
he taken by practical bankers. If the
plan to establish a bank here succeeds
Mr. McDeyitt intends to purchase a large
ranch property in this vicinity and make
Choteau his future home.

Special Correspondence of the Standard
Twin Bridges, Feb. 27.-The prospects
for a good mining season never have
been brighter since the early days than
this spring Those VINO have kept
track of the mining news in this section
will remember that there was great
advance in quartz and placer mining
last year 1T is gratifying to note that
in none of the new discoveries then
made have there been any signs of fall
ure following the winter developments.
Especially is this true in the gulches
east of Twin Bridges and the old camp
of Rochester. situated 10 miles north
west of town. In the latter camp work
is being resumed on a large scale by
several different companies, and those
who have been pushing development
| work the past several months have
| small fortunes on the dumps. Il. MueI-
| Ter is making arrangements to place
| additional machinery in his already
well equipped mill. and Messrs. Wise

their property to treat the ore that
they have extracted. The famous

ers. A large mill has been erected near

Mrs. Many White Horses a Waitress In
Teton County Hotel.


Great Falls, Feb. 27.-The Standards
romantic story of Mrs. Minnie Cush-
man-Garrett Many White Horses, the
woman who married a Blackfeet Indian,
after being copied into most of the pa
pers of the East and West, has at last
appeared in a religious journal. The last
issue of the Pacific Baptist has the fol-
lowing note on the story:
"A singular and stupid story has
somehow crept into some of our Baptist
exchanges that a daughter of Chaplain
Bateman, formerly of Fort Assinniboine,
Mont. and now at Fort Sherman, Idaho,
was recently married to an Indian. The
fact is that the chaplain has no daugh-
ter in Montana, nor any daughter at all
of manageable age. His children, all
of whom are young and the eldest OF
which are boys. are with the chaplain In
Fort Sherman.
Persons in this city who claim TO nave
known Mrs. Many White Horses almost
from her infancy are very positive that
she is the daughter Of Chaplain Bate
man, and they say that prior to her po-
sition at the Fort Shaw Indian school
she was stationed at Fort Beixnap. As
previously stated in the Standard, she
is now employed as waitress IN Te-
ton county hotel.

WOLVES
Their Howles Make Night Hideous in
Central Wyoming.

The Casper correspondent of the
Denver News writes: The increase Of
wolves on the range in central Wyo-
ming has been something wonderful
the past two or three years, and during
the coming winter many 4 sheep, calf
and even COW will be pulled down to
help appease their ravishing hunger.
Even now citizens of Casper can of
nights hear their mournful howell, and
out on the range the wolf and coyote
are getting almost as numerous as the
jackrabbit and sage hen. The bounty on
wolf pups should be increased. as rs
cents is not enough to pay men to hunt
them when young and when they can
be more easily secured, and, as it is.
hunters pay little or no attention to
them, but look for old ones, on which
the bounty is 81.
One of the C-Yround-lp boys brought
in the pelts of thirteen wolves yester-
day that the party had run into and
killed on the roundup.

BIDS FOR THE NEW wARsH1Ps.
Newport News Company Names the
Lowest Figure.

Washington, Sept. -Four firms o.
fered bids for the three new ~battleships
authorized by the Last congress. The
lowest bid Of each for any type of one
vessel follows: Newport News Ship
Building company, Newport News, Va.
$2,680,000: Cramps, Philadelphia. 81
CSC. 900; Union Iron works, San Fran
cisco. $2,674.OOO Dialogue & Co., ST.
$4,000.
Many details of construction will fig
ure in the awards.
The result Of the bidding for the con-
struction OF the three big ~battleships
authorised by congress is entirely eat
fsfactory to the navy department.
From the face Of the bids It is clear
that the government Is going to secure
much more in the matter OF power and
speed than was expected, that the cost
10 going to be less than was paid pro-
porttooately for the Illinois class, and
finally, that the department will be
able to distribute the work among the
three big building concerns, a method
OF construction that always rebounds
to the advantage Of the government.

ON A STILL HUNT.
BILLY" BramelIs Campaign for a Demo-
cratic Nomination.

The Salt Lake Tribune gives he fol-
lowing account of a fo~ur-cornered fight
for the democratic nomination for
county attorney at Salt Lake, in which
w. II. Bramel, formerly of Laramie, is
a contestant:
The fight for the county attorneyship
nomination ON the democratic ticket
grows hotter daily. The three leading
participants. D. b Hampstead, G. F.
Putnam and II. A. Smith, have each a
little organization and each expects to
do a big business in the convention.
Hampstead has the strength of the
ma,hNine's influence in county politics.
Putnam has fixed up a little machine
Of his which is working nicely, his
friends say. Smith has the Third Pre-
cinct society and in addition a big ac-
Quaintance in the country, from which
he expects wonders. w. II. Bramel,
the fourth candidate, is said to be look
ing after his law practice and keeping
on cordial relations with all the other
candidates. So that if the fight is pro-
longed and becomes a deadlock, he may
be in position to step in as a compro-
mise. Bramel's campaign is a quiet
one and, it is said, Is being engineered
by some of the most astute lawyers in
the city.

FEAR GENERAL KITCHENER LOST
London, Sept. 1.-Great Britain is be-
ginning to be alarmed lest the fate Of
Hicks PaSha has befallen the Anglo
Egyptian army under General Sir Her.
bert Kitchener. The last news receiv-
ed was telegraphed from the front on
Monday might. The army was then
twenty-three miles from Omdurman,
the Dervish camp, 49, Khartoum,
where the khaHifa was reported to be
waiting with 100, 900 warriors, well
equipped with field guns. General
Kitchener's forces consist Of 10. 900 Brit
ish troops and $4,000 Egyptian blacks,
the most perfectly equipped force the
government has ever put in the field,
having plenty of horse artillery and
Maxim guns.
It was planned to keep in constant
communication with the base by field
telegraph, hence the fears that. despite
the superiority Of morale and accou-
trements, the Ang!c-E Egyptian force
may have been overwhelmed by num-
bers.
The government officers officially an
nounce confidence in the outcome of
the engagement, but privately they do
not conceal their at the
lack OF tidings from the front.
