HAMILTON HAPPENINGS.

Hamilton, Dec. 25.-Much interest
was shown Saturday afternoon in the
bulletin announcing the action of the
supreme court in disbarring Welcome.
Passersby stopped and read it, and
then turned and shook each other by
the hand. There was a general feeling
of satisfaction that the confidence of
the people in the integrity of the SUI
preme court had been fully vindicated
by the outcome. OF course, there are a
few here who are Clark men at heart,
but they are very few, and then only
some who imagine they have a griev-
ance, but these few hid their chagrin
behind close mouth.
Lou Crutchfield is now sporting
fine diamond ring, won in the drawing
at the Banks jewelry store Saturday
night. Jacob Helwlg, our worthy bak-
er, won the leather rocker at the Bit
ter Root drug store, and John Peterson
was lucky enough to win the bicycle
rattle.

of schools, and Miss Robbins, one OF
Butte's teachers, are spending the hol-
idays with Professor Mckay and fam

the habit of attempting to purchase
high priced goods with little money. II

! quite a nice fellow naturally, has been
engaged to an estimable young lady
who still believes in and sticks to him
in spite of his weakness.
