The mountains surrounding Bozeman
are covered with snow. and now the
hunter who prefers larger game is get
ting his paraphernalia in readiness to
out for a few days and lay in a win
ter's supply of venison. Several have
tried it lately, but without snow on the
ground it was found impossible to track
any of the animals. This is changed
and soon we will be able to record
the arrival home of the first successful
hunter of the season.
The first political meeting of the cam
paign in Bozeman took place at the
opera house last night. The house was
crowded to the doors by an audience

did not fail to respond in enthusiastic
applause at all points Of the addresses
caught the popular fancy. The Re-
publican club to the number of 125, un-
der the command of Bud Story, left
headquarters about s O'Clock, and headed
by the Montana State band, took up the
line of march for the place of meeting.

in not being able to show off some of
their fancy figures, and had to keep on

was greeted with a storm of cheers that
lasted for some minute before the crowd
would settle down to hear the arguments
that were presented. From the opening
to the close of a very good speech Mr..
Murray was closely listened to by those
present, the Interruptions coming only in
the shape of vigorous applause when
ever a popular chord was struck. The
able n in which he handled the
subject matter of his speech made Mr..
Murray man friends, and the express
sion: Hell do all right" was made
very often and by men who mean wha
they say. Colonel Custer, of Illinois, who
followed Mr.. Murray with a speech, was
unfortunate in being on the delayed train
from the west and did not reach the
opera house until after 9 o'clock, when,
after all hopes of seeing him and hear
ing him ak had been given up, he made
his appearance and was received in a
way that made him feel glad he came, no
matter if it was at the last moment.
Colonel Custer lost no time in getting
