twelve people, will arrive Monday
from Great Falls, where they are
now appearing. and during the week

dramas, one of which will be the
great play "The Fire Patrol" which
has had u wonderful success and on
the presentation OF which the Bittner
company has received many compli-

The interviews which appeared In
the Standard last week with Prl-
Yates Bonham, Jones and Ormiston
Of Co. ! and two or three privates Of
Co. A, all unanimously denouncing
Otis and retailing ''pipe stories" as
to how tn v might have completely
whipped Aguinaldo on several occa-
sions had Otis allowed them, caused
much amusement In Lewistown.
Jones and Ormiston are not known

County Surveyor Stafford has been
detained from looking after his Of
fetal duties for a few days by injuries
received In a runaway accident Fri
day last. Mr.. Stafford had returned
from a short trip and had taken his
little son In the blackboard for a
short drive, when one horse stumbled
breaking the neckyoke. The team
started down Fifth avenue at a
terrible pace and Mr.. Stafford hardly
dared to pull them too hard for fear
the little strap holding up the tongue
would break and let the tongue
90 into the ground. Holding his
little boy on the seat with his ley, he
controlled the team until Main street
was reached when the horse fell
again, Mr.. Stafford partially jumping
and partially being thrown to the
ground and dragging for the width
Of the street. still holding the lines.
In "a moment he had lifted his boy,
unhurt from the rig, and bystanders
had caught the horses. Mr.. Stafford's
injuries consisted of bruises to his
hand and arm on which he was
dragged, and the blackboard was
slightly injured, the horses being
only scratched. 1t was a very
fortunate result of what seemed for
a moment TO promise death 10 one
or both of the occupants.
