Boulder. July 30.-The two entertain
ments Of the week were fairly wei pat
ronized and the n given by local tai
ent gave the better satisfaction. Inc
DeMoss family of musicians was some
what disappointing. There is much nov
city in their music, and that Is the
strongest feature of their concert. Inc
entertainment and ball for the beneht
of the fire department was quite wen
p~atronfzed, not only by Boulder people,
but a number were here from Basin.

Butte attorneys here during the week,
among them Dan Yancey, A. j. Camp

Messrs. Frank Rossberg Of Corbin, ID.
Mclaughlin, Northern Pacific road
master: John Brady, contractor, and
+. II. Mcneil, surveyor, made a trip
to High ore gulch Thursday, which
would indicate that the plan OF build
ing a railroad up that gulch to the tall
| ings piles at Comet is not l~bandoned.
though no information is given out as
to intentions. Returning from the trip
on a handcar. they were coming down
grade at a rapid rate, when at a curve
the car left the track and all were pre-
cipitated with considerable force to the
ground. Mr.. Rossberg sustained a
sprained ankle and all were more or
less bruised.

church south was held Thursday and
Friday, the presiding elder of this dis
trict. Rev. S. B. Tabor, being present.
Rev. Mr.. Van Orsdel, an old time min

cupied the pulpit Friday evening. Revs.

Boulder. are expected to be here Sun
day, and all will go from here to attend
annual conference in Butte during the
week. At conference 1t will be decided
as to retaining a pastor regularly for
this place. and If there is to be one it
will no doubt be Rev. Mr.. Whiteside,
who has occupied the pulpit during the
past month.
The scare about the lost boy turned
out better than expected. Mr.. Niles

last Sunday on bicycles to go TO Boze-
man. Monday. after riding and walk
ing all night, Mr.. Miles returned with
the statement that the boy was lost
and could not be found The boy hav-
ing a punctured tire. needed 10 initiate
II about every two miles, and being a
faster rider han his father, would stay
behind to do so and then overtake him.
on one occasion the father rode ahead
about half a mile and the boy did not
] come, so he went pack to where he had
stopped and found by the tracks that
the boy had turned around and gone
back. He followed the track as long as
IL was light and then inquired al every
farmhouse II the boy mad been seen. but
could not find any trace. Some time
afterwards word came that the boy had
reached Bozeman, they having passed
each other in some way on the road.
And now 1t comes to a question as to
which was loet, the boy or the father.

here with her children visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. C~oncannon, has gone on 10
Choteau, where she has a brother and
