The long-looked-for directory has
made it's appearance and is a surprise to
all. No one expected to see so large or
we'll gotten up a book as it turns out to

without it for so long a time.
Word was received from Belgrade this
morning that Ira, a son of J. M. Yates,
who resides on a ranch near the East
Gallatin, had died from the effects Of
injuries he received while trying to ex-
tricate a COW that had got tangled up
in a rope by which she had been tied
to a fence. While trying to free the
frenzied animal from the rope it was
wound about him, which caused him to
be thrown to the ground, where he was
trampled upon. His thigh was broken
and he sustained other injuries which
proved fatal while the physician who
had been summoned to care for him was
doing his best to afford him relief.
Labor day was passed over without a
celebration of any kind, excepting that
all the public Offices that had the sane
ton of law to do so closed up shop for
the day. Had it not been for this, many
people would not nave given the matter
a second thought. The laboring is done
out in the harvest fields, and they have
not the time to spare just at present to
declare a day off, when a change of
weather may be scheduled to arrive at
a moments notice, that would put the
question of work aside for some time.
So, in taking advantage of this factor.
the day, as a holiday, is a failure in this
section owing to lack of time.
