THE CREDIT MANS COSTLY ERROR.

Sometimes a credit man goes all wrong
but not often. A country merchant came
up from Indiana with a written list of the
things he wanted. He said he was new to
the business. but he meant to have a part
new who was wise. After he had picked
out goods amounting to $1,000 he was intro
duced to the credit man, and he looked so
uncouth and inefficient that the credit man
wondered how good clerks had been vast
ing their time on him.
What terms do you want, Mr.. -?'
He stopped, and the visitor supplied the
name
We'll, down in our country we always
pay after harvest
But harvest is past. You don't mean
next harvest-in 1900-do you?'
well, that's when my people will pay
me-"
"Oh, we couldn't do that Ninety days
is the best l could give you" And even at
that he wanted to know a great many
things about his visitors prospects.
How much if I pay all in sixty days?'
The credit man quoted the terms.
HOY. much in thirty?"
A discount was mentioned.
How much for cash?"
spot cash? Money DOWN."
'Yes-currency.
1t was a wild question. The credit man
knew he had no chance to get $4,000 out Of
that man, and he quoted a beautiful DIS
count.

Killed by Lightning.


Frederick Buckingham, second
son of T. G. Buckingham, who
lives with his father near the
Buttes on the reservation, was in
stantly killed yesterday by bolt
of lightning.
He was returning from Sunday
school, and as he was riding along
the rain storm evidently came up,
for he was standing under a tree
when he was struck and his horse
found standing near him. He had
probably dismounted to get out Of
the rain. He was a bright and
promising young man, and will be
mourned by many dear friends.

W. E. Graham, the well known
funeral director, was Immediately
sent for. The funeral will prob

Disappointed Visitors,
From Fridays daily.

From Fridays daily.
Shamberger Bros, operating the
Eva May and Obelisk group OF
mines near Basin, Mont, were
visitors in G rangeville yesterday.
These gentlemen recently sent Al
bert B. Knight, u well-known en-
gineer of Butte, to examine the
Cleveland rpup Of quartz mines
on Relief creek, south of Elk City,
in this county. Upon the strength
OF his report they concluded to
take the property, but unfortu-
nately the same refractory interest
which has for so long baked its
development and operation by the
present owners now obstructs it's
sale to outside capitalists. Mr.. w.
D. Shamberger, manager of the
Eva May group, is credited with
being one of the best mill men in
Montana, and it is certainly un-
fortunate that he is deferred from
bringing his capital, experience and
personal supervision in mining
operations into Idaho county.
After sizing up the situation they
reluctantly took their departure,
regretting their inability to do
business with the Cleveland own
ers under the existing partnership
conditions.

Iron Crown Bullion,

FROM friuays ually.
w. II. Walp arrived out from
the Iron Crown mine on Newsomt
creek last night with 40 ounces Of
bullion, the result of another mill
run on ore from that famous prop.
erty. The long delayed rock
crusher is now in position, and is
doing all that was expected of it in
the way of increasing the capacity
of the mill. Mr.. Walp says the
property is in tiptop shape and he
is confident of making money for
its owners steadily from this time
forward.
he also reports that Campbell &
Mcleod have commenced work on
a 3OO-foot shaft which they intend
sinking on their recently purchased
ground south of and contiguous to
the Iron Crown. The sinking of
the shaft will be of inestimable
benefit to the Newsome creek camp
by demonstrating whether the
lodges tn ere are blanket or assure
veins. No depth has been attained
ON any of these properties as yet,
and while they are generally re-
garded as blanket veins, the indi-
cations are that they will be true
assures, and that the camp will be
as good as the best when this point
Is determined. Meanwhile the
mines being operated are steadily
prodpcing the same extraordinarily
rich ore for which they are noted.

Latest Railroad News.

1t is learned from good authority
that the N. P. r. r. surveyors have
made two surveys of Three-mile
creek, finding the grade up that
canyon impossible for railroad pur-
poses. A third attempt will be
made to find an outlet to the Prai-
RE by way Of Three-mile, and in
the event of a failure to find .
good grade that route will be def.
nitely abandoned and the route ND
Cottonwood creek will be definitely
and permanently adopted. Con.
tracts for its early completion will
then be let Immediately, and the
contractors now on the ground are
figuring on that basis.
The heavy rains which fell here
abouts yesterday, and which still
continue, are doing no good to
either hay or grain. Such inclem-
emit weather at this season is with
out parallel in the memory Of the

Didn't Know He was Loaded,

rum riiuoy uahy.
An amusing incident occurred
in front of Vollmer & Scott's huild.
ing on Main street last evening
about dusk. A carpenter who ie
employed on the Jersey house got
into an an argument with a half
intoxicated painter. The CONVEX
sation waxed warmer and warmer
until one called the other a liar
and then the carpenter let fly his
right han d, landing on the paint
er's chin, and the latter went down
with a "thickening sud-. There
were only two blows struck-the
carpenter hit the painter and the
painter hit the ground.
Now here is where the interest
ing portion of the tale comes in.
The painter had two bottles of
soda pop with him and when he
fell the cork was driven in one and
it went off with report like gun.
The carpenter, thinking that he
was shot, started off down the
street at break-neck speed. He
had lighted pipe in his mouth,
and as he ran he left trail OF |
sparks which looked like a locomo- |
tive at full speed. The painter,
thinking he had his man pretty
well scared, followed and the last
the spectators saw was two black
forms disappearing in the vista. It
is a sore subject with the carpenter
today, and he declines to talk of
the matter.
