several days.
Miss Fletcher of Ohio, niece of Mrs.
C. F. Little, arrived Sunday evening
and will spend the summer in Lewis
town.
Mrs. j. l.. Bright, arrived Monday
night from Columbus, Ohio. She
will be followed, i'm a few days by her
husband, who comes to look after
his Spotted Horse mining interests.
Martin Strossburg and James
Wagner contractors Of Great Falls,
have been in Lewistown for several
days, examining the plans for the
new school house, and will probably
submit bids for it's erection.
E. Fay, of Chicago, a hotel man of
many years experience, was in town
several days the past week, negotiat-
ing for a hotel. While a deal is
partially concluded, the matter will
be in allegiance for three weeks.
John w. Bender was up from
Flatwillow this week. He reports a
successful Landing in that section
despite the rain. The slight loss
will be more than compensated by
tine good feed and promise OF an
abundant hay crop.
For several days the temperature
has been too low to admit of rain
and almost cold enough to snow-in
fact, snow has fallen on the loot
hills. While the grass is doing finely,
other crops and flowers are greatly
retarded. This years weather seems
to be unusual.
The receipt of war news will be
continued for another month, at
least, though on a slightly different
arrangement. Upon several days
during the past month the news was
not of sufficient Importance to
awaken any interest and not worth
it's cost and the labor expended in
receiving it. Hereafter the represent
tative at Great Falls, through
whose kindness we have received the
news, will exercise his judgement as
to the character of the news and
upon days when nothing of i'm
pOrtance has t~ranspired, no dis
patches will be sent to Lewistown.
We believe this arrangement will
prove an entire success and the
public may depend upon receiving
prompt advises of any engagement
or startling developments.
According to the final report OF
Receiver Woodbury., which was filed
in the courts OF Cascade county last
week, the receiver during his

the receivers salary was

was $4,63S.65; the other

over $4,000; attorneys
ees, about 81 600, and other ordinary

lavit that the suit of Heinrich
against him as receiver has
