Judge Edward Colburn of Salt Lake,
an Of tba pba
of the services, as it was the request
to have no minister at the services. The
young man left letter explaining his
rash deed, in which he stated that he
had been great sufferer from Brights
disease, and death would be a happy
release. Rumors We're circulated that
he had been disappointed in love, but
the facts brought forth at the inquest
do not bear them out.
Elisha Sipprelle, who enlisted with
Company D and went to Manila with
the LIST Montana, arrived from San
Francisco Thursday, and is spending a
few days with friends in town before
going to Sheridan, from where he en-
listed. He came back on the Centen-
NAL, which landed in San Francisco on
Aug. 10. Mr.. Sipprelle was sick the first
part of the summer and still shows the
effects of it. Several of the members
of Company D have re-enlsted, among
whom he mentioned Burr Gould of
Twin Bridges, Jerome Maitland, Dick
Foster and Corporal Wilson of Virginia
City, who is conducting a paper in Ma
Mia. He says he could not understand
why anyone wished to remain after
being discharged, as no inducements
whatever were open to Americans.
When it comes to hiring men, he said,
Cinnamon were preferred to a dis
charged soldier. The Red Cross society
came in for a large share OF praise
from Mr.. Sipprelle. who says he will
never forget it. When he was buying
his ticket through the society he wit
messed discharged soldier receiving a
$50 check from 1t as a donation. The
members of the Red Cross do all in
their power to get work for the boys.
The majority of the Filipinos are short
In stature, but once in while tribe
is found who are tail and well-formed
people. He speaks in most compliment
tary terms of his commanding officers
and of his comrades, The 1st Montana,
according to his judgment will land at
San Francisco about the goth instant.
Whitehall is having her share of ac-
cidents in which the horse played a
prominent role. The latest is the one in
which Guy Terrence lost his life by be-
ing thrown from a wagon and striking
his head on a rock. No one was with
him when the accident occurred. But,
judging from the wreck of the vehicle,
the supposition prevails that the king
bolt broke and the unfortunate man
was thrown out. He was only about a
mile from home when the accident hap
pened. The remains were shipped to
Butte.
The district court of Madison county
will convene at Virginia City next
Monday. AS there are no criminal cases
on the calendar, a Jury will be dispensed
with, The docket is quite lengthy and
consists of 40 cases, among which is
the damage suit of Margaret l.. Cox
and l.. A. Thompson, mentioned in the
Standard some time ago. This suit is
for defamation of character and is al
legged to be for $4,000 damages.
The 10th anniversary number of the
Anaconda Standard has been received
in Twin Bridges and has occasioned
many favorable comments among the
reading public. The general verdict is
that the Standard is the paper of the
Northwest
