SPORT WAS EXCELLENT
A Fine Day at the West Side
Coursing Park.
RAN FOR THEIR LIVES
More Than the Average Number of
Hares Succeed in Escaping the
Hounds-It Was Great
Success.

The sport was good at West Side
Coursing park yesterday. The weather
was all that could be desired, the
mares ran for their lives in the full
meaning of the term, more than the
average number of them making the
escapes ahead of the feet-footed
mounds, and then, too, a batch of the
best dogs known to the local coursing
were out for the money, and the sprint
ers fortunately, being drawn against
one another, the sport was fast and
exciting. The crowd, though small,
was made up of people who like to get
their money down, and as conse-
quence the day was great success.
1t was Flashlights day, and the game
hound showed his colors in the lead
in the four hot courses, winning first
money. King Cashier, who ran Flash
light to the limit, got second, and
Fitz Regina, fast but trif1e unfortu-
nate, came in for third, with Dusty Mil
Ter fourth.
Flashlight, in winning the stake
needed all his gameness and speed
He was drawn against Black Spring in
the first round, and was compelled to
earn his laurels. Jack the Ripper
eased up on him a little in the first
ties, but Dusty Miller forced him to the
top notch in the semi-finals, and King
Cashier made it look for a time in the
finals as though he would of a verify
be the cashier of the day, but Flash
light ran with unusually good luck and
won out.
Cashier ran very game and very fast,
but was not quite equal to the emer-
gency. Fitz Regina seemed fast
enough, but luck was against her, and
Dusty Miller showed himself a hard
dog to beat. The coursing throughout
was first class and not a dog won an
easy course.
John Reese of Anaconda and Mr..
Morrison of Butte officiated as judge
and slipper respectively, and performed
their duties to the satisfaction of all.
Following is the summary:
First round-Jack the Ripper beat
Black Spring; Flashlight beat Lady
Euclid; Camassie Queen beat Lobelia
Dusty Miller beat Annie Rooney; Bar
rister beat Johnny Dugan; Fitz Re-
gina beat Lord Salisbury; King Cash
Ter beat Tornado; Annie G. beat Jer-
sey Lily.
First tes-Flashlight beat Jack the
Ripper; Dusty Miller beat Camassie
Queen: Fitz Regina beat Barrister;
King Cashier beat Annie G.
Semi beat Dusty

BE TRUE TO SELF.
A Sermon by Rev. A. Il. Martin of the
College of Montana.

SoIleSe Oh NiOhthnA
Rev. A. B. Martin of the College of
Montana, at Deer Lodge, preached ut
the morning and evening services of the
South Methodist congregation yester-
day in Odd Fellows hall. Both sermons
were admirably delivered and We're able
and logical and full of interest. The
venerable doctor is well known in Mon
tana, and wherever he speaks his ut
terances are received with profound at
tention.
Last night he spoke from the text
which the seventh and concluding verses
of the third chapter of Philippians
afford 1t was a lesson for the rising
generation, and to the young people the
remarks of the speaker were especially
addressed. They were urged to take
advantage of the opportunities, to keep
constantly reaching out, and even if en-
dowed with great intellect and knowl
edge, continue to learn, to study and
endeavor onward to all things that are
good and right. 1t is universally I'M
derstood that it is not an easy matter
to gain lost ground: and if catching up
is hard job, so must be keeping up Il
hard job, too Opportunity is a word
susceptible of added definition. Analyze
the word for yourself and still a COM
plete definition of it cannot be had.
The speaker referred to the life of
William Fl. Seward, the famous eX-sec
rotary of state, and from this life he
illustrated the possibilities and oppor-
tunities which abound in the lives of
all young persons. The period of young
manhood and womanhood is the most
| interesting in life 1t influences future
| years. 1t is an important period in
| lifetime. 1t is the years of sowing. The
| imaginations of the young should be
| clean and pure. hopes should be built
| upon things solid and stable. Power
| afforded at this period in life should
| not and must not be prostituted. The
result of familiarity with sin is fatal
| and the thoughts should be of clean
and pure subjects. The fall or failure
is only the matter of opportunity. Men
| should not sneer at the Bible they may
not believe in it. but they must not
| sneer at it. 1t is easy to travel the
right road and be dutiful, but the other
way is strewn with obstacles and hard
ships. For you who shirk duty there is
continual tempest. The motto for
young men and women should be ''Ba
| True to Self, True to God"

passengers went into the cabin to get
something to eat, and saw thousand
eyes staring at them through the win
dows. They were wolves that had smelied
the grub in the pantry and were ready
to hop in at the windows. The women
came rushing out of the pantry and slam

That was the year the Chippewa blew up.
The Chippewa was an American Fur COM
pany boat One night we lay at Fort
Union. seven miles above the mouth of
the Yellowstone, on the Missouri The
place was chiefly an American Fur COM
pany trading post. The fort consisted of
a wooden stockade, and on the side next
the river was a big sliding gate, which
was left open most of the time, as there
were no hostile demonstrations among
the Indians at that time. Some of the
soldiers were on the boat, and a majority
of the members of the boats crew were
in the fort. The boat lay against the
bank not far from the gate. Charles 2.
Chouteau was among the passengers. and
he will remember the excitement of that
night. II was getting along toward bed

something splashing in the river. I peered
out over the side of the boat. and directly

the river in a solid mass. There appeared
to be thousands of them. They were COM

them swan against it and then turned to
get around 1t. A few of them were
drowned by getting under the boat. The
others scrambled up the bank and started
straight ahead in the direction they came
across the river. Sixty or a hundred of
the buffaloes went through the gate into
the fort, while the balance of the drove
went around it. Those that went inside.

round and round in the stockade. making
a terrible noise. which caused great
alarm to the soldiers and others who
were inside until they learned the sort of

Others who had guns and pistols joined
in. good many Indians were in the fort
and each Indian had about 100 dogs in
those days. The dogs got to chasing the
buffaloes and pandemonum reigned that
night. 1t was one of the worst rackets
I ever heard. 1t was a terror. | got on

A SAD MISFORTUNE.
Dennis Towney Fell and Broke Hi,
Leg,

Dennis Towney, a miner employed at
the Diamond mine, met with a sad
misfortune yesterday. When he got off
shift he started down the hill for home
When part way down the steep incline
he stepped on a loose stone. 1t rolled
with him, and he picked himself up at
the foot of the hill. He felt a pain in
his left leg, but did not suppose he was
seriously hurt and limped home. Dur
ing the day the pain in his leg did not
abate and he decided to go to the ST.
James hospital and have the leg eX-
amined. He was astonished when DR..
MacNevin informed him he had broken
one of the bones of the leg.

Western states


A new gasoline velocipede for section
men and railroad inspectors has been
invented which is destined to become
the successor of the old-tiine handcar
1t weighs about 300 pounds and the
tank holds enough gasoline to propel
the machine 800 miles. A gallon of
gasoline will furnish the motive power
for a 75-mile ride, and the motor is
capable of running 40 miles an hour
with three passengers. The Illinois
Central has ordered this machine for all
of their inspectors.
The recent opening of the Medelia

makes total mileage of the road of
1,520 miles. With the new branches of
the Chicago & Northwestern in Mime

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Fractional Differences Make the Conventior This Week of More Than Ord mary In-
 terest-AII for Mckinley.

Cincinnati, May 31.--The republican state convention at Columbus this week promises to be an extraordinary political event, not because of the fac tional fighting alone, but also because of its effect on the presidential election next year in the presidents state. Ii has been ten years since the republic ans i'll Ohio lost a state ticket. As most of the state officers, including governor, are elected for two years and accorded second term, there is q new deal once in four years. This is the year for a new deal from governor down to the minor state off cials. And it so happens that the full new state tickets are nominated the year preceding presidential campaigns As the new state administration will have all the machinery in its control next year when delegates to the na- tional republican convention are to be selected, the president, Senator Hanna and others are considered interested parties in the present contest at the state capital.
 As all the counties have indorsed the national administration and all the candidates for governor and other offices claim to be strongly i'll favor of the renomination of President McKin- ley, there is no doubt whatever about the convention adopting strong resolution for the renomination of President Mckinley, but the char acter of the Ohio delegation that will be sent to the national convention for him next year may depend to some ex- tent on the makeup of the state ticket and the new state central committee, as the Kurtz- -Bushnell-Mc cKisson ele- ment want to secure control now with view to prevent Senator Hanna from being one of the Ohio gates-at-large nex. year.

passengers were seriously hurt. The water where the people were thrown into the bay was about 15 feet deep and it was a miracle that some of them were not drowned. So far as known every passenger has been ac- counted for. The accident occurred at a crossing. It is not clearly under stood how the accident occurred, as the stories conflict. The railroad com pany has the right-of-way at the cross ings, but it seems that the gates were not down. The motorman saw the train coming, but it was too late to stop. The track was very slippery. The passengers saw the train coming, but expected the car to stop every mo- ment.
