TIC railway company for $50, 900 damages
IN payment for personal injuries sus-
tanned by her while attempting to board

tne hlsht OF NOV. 5th In her complaint
she states, that on the night in question
the train was belated,, that when it did
arrive IL stopped short of the PLATFORM
ana that she endeavored to board the
tram from the ground. Just as she had
gained the platform the train suddenly
started, throwing her violently against
the guard rail, it came to an equally
abrupt stop which in turn threw her
against the end of the car This throw
ing her about caused an injury to her
spine from which she has not recovered.
nor does she ever expect to, looking for
ward to continued suffering caused by
the accident. She thinks 100000 would
be fa1r recompense for all this and has
instituted the suit accordingly

Col. and Mrs. w. D. Turner gave a ball
and supper to their many friends last
week. MaXey hall had been engaged for
the occasion, and was tas,tefuly decorat-
ed with bunting, flowers and plants.
Thompson's orchestra furnished the mu-
sic for the promenades and the dancing.
About midnight an elegant supper was
served in the dining room of the Boze-
man hotel, which is becoming quite ia
nous of late for the numerous good
things it furnishes it's patrons. The en-
tire affair was success from start to
finish, and showed very able manage
merit in every detail. 1T was the social
event of the season.
10 all appearances the town has set
tied down ITO a prolonged spell of inactiv-
ity in the way of happenings of interest.
There is absolutely nothing stirring in
the line of local news, with the exception
cf the usual routine doings in the, various
departments ait the court house and in
the city hall. Even in those places a
spirit of peace prevails that but confirms
the suspicion that ''all is quiet on the Po-
tomac,' as applied locally.
In the way of real estate transfers the
general Sta,natiOn seems to have struck
even this market, only four deeds hav-
ing been offered for record during the
past week, the property changing hands
being a mining claim and number of
town lots. The price paid was not of
the highest, nor the property of the best.
The states share Of taxes collected by
the county treasurer were RENTED to
State Treasurer Collins last week. The
amount contributed toward carrying on
the state government by Gallatin county
amounts to the sum of ST., ,315.57.
John and James Daniels shipped a car
load of fine large work horses to Kansas
ity this morning. They claim that for
the right kind of animals, Kansas City
offers as good a shipping point as any
other city in the county.
Sheriff Fransham has for a long time
been contemplating taking a day off and
trying his luck as hunter Last night
he left for the Middle Creek country with
the avowed intention of killing a deer
for Christmas. A slight snow fell last
night which will in all probability prove
very helpful to him in trailing the veni-
son he is after. The absence of snow
has been the great handicap to all hunt
ers who have so far ventured into the
mountains after game. They have invar-
iably had all the ''hunt" they wanted,
but no meat.
The lovers of sport and those interest
ed in the preservation of game and fish
will meet at the Fireman's Hall on Mon
day evening next, and the meeting will
probably result in the formation of a
local branch of the Protective associa-
tion, which hunters and fishermen are
organizing in every county, for the pur-
pose of securing legislation this winter
looking to the adequate and practical
protection of game and fish in Montana.
Hoyt's "Day and Night" will be CIV
en- at the opera house tonight. The
company is said to be an excellent one
in every respect, and Bozeman theater
goers are looking for a treat.
