1t was rumored this week that there
were two more small pox cases in Cho-
teau, but we have been unable to con-
firm the report. 1t is probable hat the
disease may break out in all its malignity
rext winter, and precautions should be
taken in time to prevent its spread.
While other portions Of the state are
suffering from an unprecedented drouth,
the ranchmen of this section have reason
to be content, for the grass crop promises
to be sufficient to carry the stock, al
though the dry weather OF late has
materially lessened it's growth.
The Helena Herald is now under the
new management, and publishes a semi
weekly edition, besides the daily. A. B.
Keith who has made the Inter Mountain
an interesting paper, will occupy the
editorial chair, and may be depended
upon to keep the Independent on its
mettle.
Harry hunkel is in fine spirits these
days, and cheerfully assumes the re-
sponslbilities required in the purchase
of rubber rings, rattle boxes and sooth-
ing syrup, with its vista of school books,
dry goods and chewing gum, to be &C
quired later on.
The killing of Deputy Sheriff Elder at
Cuioerteon on June Gath, by Chas. Fl.
Stafford a stock inspector was caused
by the action of Elder himself, who re-
sisted the service Of a warrant for driy-
ing stock off the range, which Stafford
attempted to serve on him. Elder made
a move to draw his gun, but Stafford
was 700 QUICK IOf ulul.
Th bills issued by the Choteau PEG
pie announcing horse races for thC
Fourth were a little misleading to say
! the least. We know of one sporting
man who trained his horses with the ex
pectation Of capturing all the money
and went to an actual cash outlay 0
$50, but when he read the list of prize
as publish ed in the last Montanian, b
concluded to try his luck with tn
patriotic Piegans, instead.
= T. J. Dean and J. W. Burrows, return

convention at Butte where they went a

citizens of the smoky city particular.

found to be the prince OF eat ertainers.
The Fourth Of July has passed, wit
all it's usual enthusiasm, the small DO
is provided with a fair aver age of burn
I fingers, the sport once more has profile
e by the wheel of fortune, the bushes
houses gathered in enough lucre t
enable them to present a bold front t
Y the landlord for another month, and tn
honest ranchman rests satisfied with
consciousness of having contributed hi
q snare in the patriotic duty of purchas
ing peanuts and frecrackers. The da
q at Dupuyer was quiet and orderly, a
# though tn" influx OF visitors was SOM
thing surprising, and our town presente
quite a metropolitan appearance. Lac
of preparation on account of the receI
small pox scare at the county seat, mad
it necessary to forego the contemplate
: literary exercises, but our people, e.
pecially the younger portion, gathered
a fair quantity of enjoyment. Thel
were three horse races in the Afternoon
10 a mile race won by Tom Manix, a ha
n mile by Ben English, and a pony race {
one mile won by Gene Orr. After tn
* races the crowd returned to town an
id witnessed a broncho busting exhibitio
re by Henry Glasspool, which proved Thu
Henry was all right in the saddle.
