HAD A CLINGING NATURE.
But Whittaker's Young Bride Didn't
Arrive When Expected.

Great Falls. Jan. S-While Solomon
| or some other of those averaged wise
acres of early times sang "Man that
is born of woman is of few days and
full of sorrow" there are many in
these modern times who do not wholly
agree with the sentiment They have
enjoyed life, enjoyed even it's hardships
and purpose continuing so to enjoy
life so long as the breath remains
Among this number is old man Whit
taker of Monarch. His hair and beard
are snow white, his skin has been tan
ned by the winds and the suns IF
more than go years until it is of that
rich mahogany color which the summer
seaside resorter envies in vain, but
his step is as light and his heart as
youthful as it was at 20. He has seen
many of his friends pass away his
children grow up and establish them
selves in homes of their own, he has
noted the passage of oldtime customs
swept away by the fin de seicle tide,
he has drank deep of the cup of life
of mingled bitter and sweet. one would
think he had fed until surfeited upon
all of the experiences of humanity, but
1t is not so. He has been a widoWer
for years. and he feels that as st. Paul
placed no time limit on his statement
of the undesirabilty of being single
man, he will not.attempt to set himself
up as the superior OF the apostle.
So it happened that few weeks ago
he started a correspondence through the
kindly offices of that medium for mat
rimonial spectators, the Hart and
Hand, with young woman. She de-
scribed herself in the following adlet:
"A young woman of kind disposition
and clinging nature, who feels that size
could love and be loved if properly
approached, would like to correspond
with some gent as means business. Ad-
dress, etc" The courtship WaXed ard
ent in the course of time and finally
marriage was agreed upon. Whitaker
sent the money for car fare and other
travelling expenses to Salt Lake, her
home, and the bride was to have ar
rived yesterday. Everything was ready
for the event, the boys We're let into the
secret and got a few drinks apiece on
the strength of it. The wedding would
occur in the afternoon and in the even
ing the bride was to shine as the belle
of a little dance, especially organized
in this city for the occasion. But the
thing has been declared off, at least
for the present. The bride did not ar
rive. She acknowledged the receipt CT
the money for her passage and wrote
that she was coming and that is the
last that old man Whitaker has heard
of his girlish bride with the clinging
nature

To-day (Nov. 24) we had very good
Thanksgiving dinner. Our company
had turkey, with dressing, cranberry
sauce, radishes, mashed potatoes and
plum pudding. It was all cooked on
the army buzzacut ovens and was fire.

some places the water and mud was
over our shoe tops, so I had a good
chance to add to my rheumatic pains.

from rheumatism and it seems severe
IN most cases.
Just back of our quarters is Chi

amount of labor required to work out

brought in already hewn square; then
it is marked out in board thickness

to see the endurance possessed uy
these men on the saws. They keep tip
a steady gait until the board is cut
out, which takes several hours. In an
American saw mill it would take about
10 seconds.
THE men in our company are in very
good health. We have but one man in

out nearly a full two years. The sit

COUNTY DIVISION PLAN
The Scheme Opposed by the
Pioneer of Fergus.
1T is LARGE ON PAPER
James Fergus Gives His Reasons for
Not Desiring to Cut the County
Named After Him in Two.
Would Increase Expenses.

Great Falls, Jan. a.-Among the coun-
ty division schemes which will be pre-
scented to the present session of the
legislature will be one to divide Fergus
county, and the question is being dis
cussed at length at Lewistown and in
other parts of the county. In regard to
the matter, that pioneer of the county
and of the state in fact, James Fergus
writes the following letter for pubica-
ton:
When the county was cut or set off
from Meagher-which then extended
from the Missouri river to the mouth
of the Musselshell-we consulted the
members from Yellowstone county, and
they were satisfied with the Mussel-
shell as the boundary, and when the
vote on the bill creating this county
was tie in the house, Mr.. Norton, a
member from Yellowstone, changed his
vote and gave us our county as it is,
although he had voted against and
helped to defeat five other new county
bills.
1T is true, on paper this is a large
county, but the size of anything does
not always prove its worth. Much
of the eastern part of this county and
the bad lands along the Missouri look
as II they We're composed of the de-
bris of Ignatius Donnellys comet
Robert Ford an intelligent old timer
and stock-raiser, said in a speech in
Helena many years ago that, taking
one year with another, it would take
fourteen acres of our average bench
lands to pasture a steer during the
year.
zone thing is certain, that with the
exception of vegetables beef and
mutton-although we have the far
famed Judith Basin within our
boundaries-we freight into this
county nearly everything we eat
Most of our flour, bacon and hams,
some of our butter and all our corn
and oatmeal, cheese and potatoes
have been brought from both rail-
roads and cabbage from California.
Our taxes are all we can pay now.
Ours are over u per cent. of our gross
receipts, and one of our neighbors
has to pay over 49, 200, enough to
buy a good farm in some of the
states.
No, let us reduce expenses, keep the
county lines where they are, but let
us make good, direct roads so that
the settlers south OF the Snowies can
have easy access to the county seat,
give them their full share of the Of
fees and make them feel they are
part of us

BUTTE News.
THINK THEY KNOW HIM
Murdered Man Identified as
George Quintet.
WORKED AT THE BIG DAM
Supposed to Have Been Murdered On
His Way From Silver Bow to
Butte Two Little Girls Who
Heard Angry Voices.

T Streams of curious people visited
Tachell's morgue yesterday to see the
body of the murdered man which was
found Sunday on the Rocker road.
Some thought that they knew the man,
but evidence so far is to the effect that
the body is that of George Quintet a
man who since Christmas had driven
a team at the Big Hole dam. A. T.
Barnum and Robert Stoughton, two
carpenters who until a week ago work
ed at the dam, yesterday identified the
body as that of George Quintet a team
ster at the dam. They said that he was
working when they left. They had
just seen Foreman Pearson of the car
penters at the dam who is in the city
and Mr.. Pearson told them that Quintet
quit two or three days ago, having had
an alteration with his foreman.
Yesterday, Engineer Harper, in
charge of the work, was telephoned to
in regard to Quintet, He was asked to
describe the mans clothing, and his de-
scription taIlies with the apparel worn
by the murdered man. 1t is probable
that the man after quitting work
started to walk to Butte. Grocer Stote
Of Silver Bow says that he saw man
in his store Saturday whose clothes
correspond with the description given
him of those worn by the dead man.
The officers, or some of them think now
that the man was murdered while on
his way from Silver Bow to Butte A
man will arrive from the Big Hole dam
to-day who will decide whether it is
Quintet or not. An inquest will be held
tonight.
Two little girls who live with their
parents near the roadhouse told Miles
Fuller that when they were going home
from a birthday party of a little girl
who lives near the Centennial brewery
Saturday night about 1890 O'Clock they
heard loud and angry voices coming
from the direction of the point where
the body was found. They said that
just before they saw a scavenger's
wagon usually driven by Ted Boyle
going in the direction whence the loud
voices came, One of the girls
said when they heard the voices, IT
guess Ted and Jim are fighting again.
Mr.. Fuller went to the Boyle home
and asked the father where Ted was
and he told him that he was laid up
with sore back as the result of a
"boyish row." Mr. Fuller reported the
matter to the sheriff's office and young
Boyle was arrested. William Smith,
another scavenger, was also arrested on
suspicion.

GONE TO THE JURY.
County Attorney Gorme1ly Made His
Plea in the ConIin Case.

county Attorney formerly Maue his
Plea in the Conlin Case.
Great Falls, Jan. 9.-The trial Of Jack
Conlin for the murder Of Adam Gibson
at Belt on October IA, was closed at 4
o'clock this afternoon and the jury, at
G p. m, is still out. Mr.. Lyter made
the first argument for the state ON
Saturday afternoon and this meeting
he was followed by John A. Largent,
for the defense. The latter made a
very good talk, and in fact, has con-
Quoted the case admirably under the
circumstances. He spoke about two
hours this morning, closing at noon,
and did his best to show up the few
strong points which the defense has
brought out. This afternoon, County
Attorney Gormelly finally finished for
the state and made a really eloquent
plea for justice. He also occupied ABOUT
two hours and in this, his first case as
county attorney, gave promise Of much
good to be accomplished for the county
during his term. Judge Leslie charged
the jury very briefly and at 4 o'clock
the jury went to their room and We're
locked in. ..4%ts .@
Whatever the jury may decide the
public in general looks upon the case
as a very black one for the defend
ant, the testimony that it was cold
blooded killing being very strong and
conclusive. There is this much in ia
vor of the defendant, and it is that in
the history of the county there has new
err yet been jury which con-
demned a man to death. It is therefore
quite likely that the members of this
jury will compromise with their con-
sciences by giving Conlin sentence of
imprisonment, provided. of course, they
find him guilty at all.

NOT ROSE sTREWN.
Editor Abbott on the Suspension of the
Miner

Miner.
Great Falls, Jan. SIT is evident
that the path of the editor in Neihart
is not strewn with roses or that which
is required to obtain roses, hard cash.
Although the rival paper the Miner,
has quit the field, Brother Abbott of
the Herald does not appear to regard
his undivided monopoly of the field
as anything like a cinch on fortune
or fame. He makes the following COM
ment on the suspension of the Miner:
THE Herald experiences a sense of
keen regret at such move 1t mas
long been cognizant of the facts so
poignantly put by its retiring contem-
porary, and it deeply deplores the ne
cessity which has driven the Miner
to such a course Its relations with
the paper have been for the most part
congenial, as companions in misery
and misery always loves the compan-
ionship of which we shall in future
be deprived.
1.-THE saying that there is not room
in this town for two papers should be
revised by saying that there is not
room for even one.
But as the Herald has never wear
led of setting forth the good things of
this camp, SO in future its course will
be persistent, continuous, unchanged;
praying for that day when the effort
shall be rewarded by an advent of
prosperity; when all who have held
the fort shall share the fortune of VIC

1t Is Good News,

Great Falls, Jan. Sit is stated to-
day on very good authority that the
stub train on the Montana Central be-
tween Great Falls and Anaconda is to
be resumed, probably on Sunday next
This report, if true, is one of the best
pieces of news heard in this city for a
long time. Since the new time table
went into effect the regular trains have
been from one to nine hours late, and
as one man expressed it to-day it
seemed as if any further attempts at
faster time by the Great Northern
would result in one train week to this
town.
