just think of it! Barnes and Corbly
have been holding office or candidates
for Office for the past fourteen years
ever since the county was organized.
And now each wants four years more.
When is this everlasting laundering
after public office to end? AT one
stroke the voters IAN call a halt this
fall. win they do it or will they per,
petuate the reign of Barnes and Corbly
until 1904?
What became of Col. C. b. Nolan?
Was he lost in the shuttle? Did some
'~intlooental" Clark man see him before
he struck Fergus county, or what was
the matter? Saturday night came and
he was not in Lewistown to tell the
people about Clark Doodle. Monday
night he was not in Gilt Edge to tell
the miners when Hogan joined the
Democratic party. He was at White
Sulphur Springs Friday morning, but
nothing has been heard of him since.
Nose Mosher, an old man residing at
Gilt Edge, vas brought to Lewistown
last Saturday and placed in custody AT
che county Jail. For some time past
Mosher has been acting in a strange
and unaccountable manner, and it is
believed that he is insane. He is sub
ject to strange delusions, imagines he
is possessed of an evil spirit, and that
the thermometer is always away down
somewhere below the freezing point,
making it impossible for him to keep
warm. He is not, however, violent,
and his lunacy is believed to be of the
harmless sort. He will be detained al
the county Jail pending an examina'
ton as to his mental condition.
