ASSISTANT
Mr.. Hollister Accepts II Position with the
.. YellOwstane National Rank.

Mr.. HOLSTER Accepts II Position with the
Yellowstone National Bank.
Eugene II. Hollister, for a long time
connected with the First National bank
of this city, and one of our most es.
teemed young men, says the Pawnee
City (Neb.) Press, left yesterday for
Billings, Montana. where he assumes
the position of assistant cashier and
bookkeeper in the Yellowstone National
bank of that place. The Press can
heartily recommend Mr.. Hollister as
an efficient bank accountant and relia-
BILE gentleman. He long occupied an
important position in this city with the
First National and gave entire satisfac-
tion to his employers and the general
public. Gene has grown from boy
hood to manhood in Pawnee and has
always borne an exemplary character in
social and business circles. The people
of our city generally regret the de-
parture Of Mr.. Hollister and his most
estimable wife, but all extend them
best wishes for the utmost good fortune
in their new home, where we know
they will be appreciated. Mrs. Hollis
tire will remain here for a few weeks,
when she will join her husband in
their new home.

LARGE LAND SELECTION.

State Decides to Acquire from Uncle Sam
$4,000 Acres in Carbon County.
The state land office Wednesday pre-
pared and forwarded to the Bozeman
land Office the necessary application
papers that it is expected will result in
Montana acquiring from the federal
government title to about Is, 900 acres
of land in Carbon county. The selec-
tion of the land was made several
months ago, but no until Wednesday
was the state ready to ask the govern
ment for it. The land is in different
tracts, some of which are not many
miles from Red Lodge. The land,
when title is obtained to it, will be ao-
credited to the state normal school,
agricultural college and public build
ing funds.
1t is understood that the land, al
though classed as grazing, may in time
prove to be more valuable than the
statutory valuation that is placed upon
such lands.

A Rounder At Columbus viciously As
saults Ed. CAVITY.
Ed. Canty, a saloon-keeper at Column
bus, is in the city today, but his best
friend would hardly know him. He
is here to confer with the county attor-
ney about an assault made on him day
before yesterday by one Albert Martin,
a saloon rounder in that town. by
which Canty's face was badly cut and
his nose probably broken.
Martin is said to be a quarrelsome
fellow. always looking for trouble with
others. A few days ago he started a
sort of a quarrel with an old man in
Canty's saloon, when the latter made
him leave. Wednesday, while Canty
was passing down the street, he was ac-
costed by Martin, who struck him a
blow on the jaw. knocking him down,
following it up by hitting Canty in the
face, cutting three gashes on the face
and lip, which necessitated taking sew
eral stitches. Canty was conveyed
home, while a warrant was sworn out
for Martins arrest. He was taken be-
fore Justice Simpson and pleaded gull
ty to assault in the third degree, being
fined $40 and costs, a very small fine
considering the injuries received by
CAVITY.
