Der of fills.

MONTANA.

Walter Foods of Butte had all the
fingers of his right hand blown off by
a firecracker.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
in various and sundry ways in Philips
burg this year.
Fred Gehring, an old timer who has
lived 80 years on Silver creek, was
kicked to death by horse last week.
He was go years old.
Helena celebrated the Fourth quiet
ly, little going on besides the Great
Falls-Helena ball game and celebra-
ton at Central Park.
There is a well-defined rumor cur
rent that the Montana Central railway
has in contemplation the removal of it's
Helena or Clancy.
ben King, reported to be member
of a prominent Montana family, in a
room over a Nome saloon on Snake
river, June 16, ended his life with a
bullet from a 3S-calibre revolver.
Missoula has seldom passed quieter
independence day than the Fourth
Aside from a baseball game between
the Butte second nine and Missoula,
there was little public entertainment.
The celebration of the Fourth at
Deer Lodge was carried out in proper
form. The day was all that could be
desired as to weather except chilly
shower at o'clock in the afternoon
that made it disagreeable.
Abraham Parquette, son of a half
breed Canadian Cree Indian named
Henry Parquette, was instantly killed
last week in an accident in Sawmill
gulch, about six miles southwest of
Butte.
Somehow or other the weather does
not seem disposed to give the Fourth
of July any of the best of it in Ana
conda. The last two Fourths have
been nothing to boast of in the way of
fancy weather.
Nearly all those injured in the Great
Northern wreck are on the road to re-
covery, and in only one case are there
unfavorable developments. That was
the case of Robert Ewing, the boiler
maker from Kansas.
The celebration at Thompson Falls
was the most successful ever held.
There was plenty of enthusiasm and
large crowd was in from the neighbor-
ing lumber and mining camps. Every
body had a good time and the town
was lively all day.
Railroad men say that Havre had its
usual lively time on the Fourth-only
one man killed, but there were numer-
Gus others that bear bruises and cuts
that will be a reminder of the day for
some time to come.
Dorothy, 7-year-old daugher Of Mrs.
Walter Whitaker, was fatally burned
on the Fourth, while playing with fire
crackers. A smouldering bit of fire
cracker lodged in the fluffy material
of which her dress was made, and In

it stopped the bandits entered the cab. The

head with the butt of revolver and badly
hurt. The robbers six in number. cut off
the engine and express car and ran mile
and half to Fort jefferson, near the Ohio
river and within sight of the Missouri
shore. Here they blew open the express
safe and secured all the valuables it con-
tanned and crossed into Missouri. They
dropped one package containing 500 on
the Kentucky side and onother package on
the Missouri side, both of which have been
recovered. The robbers did not attempt to
