but that many people still have linger-
ing memories of it. CLUB was formed, |
flourished and waned in Bozeman
Within the last week or 10 days another |
club for gentlemen only has appeared. |
and, like a newborn baby, seems to be |
doing well. Colonel 0. p. Chisholm is
the father of this youthful, newborn |
enterprise. During the last legislature,
and especially during the senatorial |
fight the colonel spent cOnSidera Bile time |
in Helena and as he is member of |
the Montana club the thought came
upon him while enjoying it's comforts
and luxuriance that similar ins'titu-
ton would be just the thing for BoZe-
man. To form a club is d more difficult
task than one would at first suppose,
but the colonel, with his usual vim and
energy, worked long and hard, with the
result that he has gathered in the names
of all the principal men in town.
The rooms Of the new club are in
the second story of the Walsh building.
There are about eight apartments and
a bath room. all lighted by electricity
As the colonel never does things by
halves the club is to be furnished lux
uriously and the rooms facing Main
street will be ideals Of comfort, fit for
the revels of a king, the floors are to be
carpeted with expensive materials; the
tables and chairs are to be the acmes
of convenience, ease and comfort; the
walls will be adorned with beautiful
pictures, and the rude glare of the mid
day sun will be toned to beautiful hues
by expensive draperies The smaller
apartments on either side Of the hall will
be tastefully and coziy fitted up for
those who wish ito play quiet game of
cards, or talk business. or what not.
There will be a reading room furnished
with all the big dailies of the state and
the leading papers of the United States,
together with periodicals and other lit
eratuTe.
AS there will be no bar in the tBoze-
man club" a dumb waiter will connect
with the well known resort of Pons-
ford q Sackett. The latter place was.
and is now, much frequented by the
members of this club who, although
always receiving the best attention
from all connected with this popular
resort, have felt the need of a more
private and secluded place wherein 10
pass a few pleasant hours after the
cares and worries of business life. and
this was one of the reasons for the
formation Of this club Among those
who are helping the colonel out in this
project are Judge Frank X. Armstrong,
Senator C. w. Hoffman, Hon. John
Walsh Hon. John Mcleod, Hon.
George Cox. Colonel Purney, Captain
Ponsford, Hon. Charles Hartman and
rs other well known influential citizens
of Bozeman. The club, or rather the
members thereof, deeming it good pol
icy. and as showing due respect to the
government of the state, have made
Governor Smith, the chief and assOci-
ate justices Of the supreme court, At
torney General Nolan, and other high
| officials eff the state. honorary mem
bers Of their institution, and, of course,
| ,1,,l H.
extended to the friends of any men,
Der. Taking into consideration the
many comforts and advantages to be
derived from becoming member of
| the Bozeman club, the initiation fee of
| IS and $150 a month as dues is a mere
| pittance, and there is little doubt that
| with Colonel Chisholm at the helm the
institution will brave many storm,
overcome many difficulties, and flour
| ish like green bay tree
There was quite little excitement
on the Main street of Bozeman on Sat
urday afternoon last Two or three
! hot"headed kentuckians got into
| quarrel and threatened to kill each
other The only harm they did was
! to pollute the air with unseemly Ian
| guage and make the sidewalks impas-
| sable. One of the men. man named
| Smith, was run in and charged with
| assault in the third degree, and will
| have to stand trial for his quarrelsome
| behavior in q few days.
Sheriff Fransham went up to Chest
nut on Tuesday and arrested Cha Ii
Sing for running q laundry without a
license. The celestial was somewhat
surprised at the action of the author
tiles, but submitted with the best grace
possible, and was brought to town. His
| fellow countrymen in Bozeman went
| to work in his behalf and are now try
| ing to settle the matter without Mr..
| Sing having to appear before the JUS
tice of the peace. This arrest was
partially for the purpose of warning
other Cinnamon who do not pay their
license up to date. The sheriff after
/ ward dragged into his net another Chi
naman from the Bozeman Chinatown.
They will have to pay license of $54
apiece before they are released.
The usual weekly storm came on
| Monday Of this week. 1t was a snow
| storm of a heavy character and after
several hours there was sufficient for
/ sleds to run once more. On Tuesday
morning the temperature was four re-
low zero. According to the reports OF
the year 1898 on March q of that year
the thermometer was II below. Farm.
| ers and stock men are getting anxious
about the weather, as there appears tc

and while there is plenty OF hay il
some parts of the valley, yes it is
quite expensive to some owners to keer
their cattle in good condition.
Nelson Story has purchased the Nc.

The well-knoWn resort of Ponsford &
