Both Legs Broken Below the Knees.

An unfortunate accident occurred at
the Bimetallic mine last Wednesday
morning. John Sjaberg, miner, had
both his legs broken below the knees
while attempting to jump from the
moving cage at the 30O-foot level. AS
near as can be learned Mr.. Sjaberg was
riding on the lower floor of the cage and
In stepping off he missed his footing in
some manner and fell, leaving his feet
projecting over sufficient for the upper
deck OF the cage to catch them. 1t was
all done so quick that the unfortunate
man himself cannot tell exactly how it
happened, and he can thank his good
fortune that he is now alive.
AS quick as assistance could reach
him he was taken to the surface and re-
moved to the hospital, where Dr. Hum
phreys attended his injuries. According
to reports received this morning, Mr.
SJaberg is resting easy and indications
are favorable for his recovery.

GAMBLING WILL CEASE.

1t is now an assured fact that the law
prohibiting gambling will hereafter be
strictly enforced in Granite county, and
that within a few days all games OF
chance. including slot machines, will be
a thing of the past An edict issued
from the county attorneys Office advises
the sheriff that gambling is being car
ried on at divers and sundry places
within the county, and directs to forth,
with suppress all games of chance and
arrest all parties found conducting or
taking part in conducting any game or
device prohibited by law.
To see gambling stopped has long
been the desire of every good citizen in
the county and as long as the law is
strictly enforced the officers will receive
the support of the public. Shortly after
the anti gambling law went into effect
all games in this county suspended, and
for some time thereafter there was very
little heard about gambling After
games were allowed to again run wide
open and unmolested in Butte and other
cities of the state 1t gradually became
evident that games were running in this
city in several places. They first started
in club-roOms, upstairs, but gradually
the proprietors became more bold and
transferred the business to the first
floor, and since last summer gambling
has been as free as water in the CITY.
1t was permitted in other places, and
the general opinion prevailed that dur
ing the present session of the Legislature
the law prohibiting gambling would be
repealed. Since it has developed, how
ever, that a general feeling exists
throughout the state, which is shared by
a great majority of our w-makers that
the law now in existence is good ore
and should be enforced, it is conclusive
that such will be the case.
It Is predicted that the rigid enforce
ment Of the anti-g gambling law will con
tribute greatly to the general welfare
and prosperity of the state. Many a
person now following the occupation of
faro-dealer will engage in legitimate pur-
suits, and many a home will be made
happy by the complete stamplng.out of
his 1rreresistable evil against which
many good and honorable hard working
nan has not sufficient power to control
limself. That gambling will be sup
ressed is welcome news, and in their
forts to accomplish the desired result I

anything but path of roses, and Emile
Loubet, the newly chosen president to

Loubet is of humble origin and his elec-

The desire of the residents of Helm
vile and vicinity to see that section at
tached to Granite county may in the fr-
ture be gratltied Since the efforts TO
create the county of Powell for the es-
peclal benefit and convenience of Deer
Lodge have come to naught for the Sec
ond time, 1t is not likely that third al
tempt will be made to divide Deer
Lodge county. 1t is now too near the
close of the session to accomplish any.
thing in this direction, but in two years
hence such move would undoubtedly
be successful. The far northern part of
deer Lodge county, which includes
Summit, Great Northern railroad sta
ton, should be attached to Flathead
county, and all that portion as far south
as and including Helmville should be-
come part of Granite county. This
seems to be the general sentiment of the
residents of that section and there is
every reason to believe that the PROPOSE
ton will receive the support of every
taxpayer.

a STROKE OF BUSINESS

One of the notable achievements OF
the Mckinley administration is the re-
covery from the several subsidized Pa
citic railroads of the principal and most
of the interest of the bonds issued by
the government to aid in their construc-
ton. 1t had long been believed that
the government would never be able to
secure the payment OF but fraction of
the debts these companies owed it..
Something over year ago settlements
were effected with the Union Pacific and
the Kansas Pacific, under which the
former paid It's debt in full and the lat
ter the principal of it's debt; and now
the president has succeeded in securing
the payment by the Central Pacific of
its entire indebtedness to the govern
ment, amounting to over S52OOO,OOO.
Under the agreement this is to be paid
IN twenty equal SEMI annual Install
ments at per cent. interest. This is
stroke OF business which greatly re-
bounds to the credit of the administra-
ton. There is still due the government

roads-the Sioux City and Pacific, the

Next Thursday, March 9, Granite
county will be six years old. The resi-
dents of this section have not forgotten
how bitterly the bill creating Granite
county was opposed by residents of
Deer Lodge, and very little sympathy
from this section will be extended to the
advocates of Powell county which met
defeat at Helena last Tuesday. The
bill creating Granite county passed the
senate on the last day of the session,
March 3, 1893, by vote of s to 7, and
was signed by Governor Richards at
1880 o'clock the same day. During the
brief period of it's existence Granite
county has made rapid progress, and al
though it's principal Industries have been
shut down almost since it's creation, the
county is in excellent condition. and
Granite county warrants find a ready
sale at par. A great many improvements
nave been made on the highways, and
the county owns as comfortable a court
house and Jail as any county in the
state. The residents and taxpayers of
