The travel on the Great Northern ha
been SO heavy OF late, that two west
bonud passenger trains have been re-
quired. 1t is stated that next month
there will be an increase of service, and
there will be two passenger trains each
way daily.
The frost is coming out of the ground
very slowly. Fence builders report the
ground frozen so that they can not drive
a post over foot in depth.
The Devereaux boys have gone down
toward Fort Benton to gather their
horses on the Highwood range.
Twin boys were recently born to
woman whose name we have not learned
how to spell,) living on Two Medicine.
1t does beat all what wonders a prospec-
tive cattle issue works now days.
Jimmy Douglas is begi nning to meas
ure the grass in order to tell when it is
time to start the roundup. We suggest
Henry Ryan for chef this year, and trust
an extra tub will be taken along to mix
the staff of life in.
If any one knows of an individual
named Cross, just tell him there is
man up in this part of the country with
blunderbuss loaded to the muzzle with
shraronei, lyddite, and DUN dunn bullets,
! besides several other varieties of deadly
missiles, and he had better not wander
far from Shelby. Our informant states
that he is not surprised to learn that Mr..
C's. conscience requires him to carry
confessor along with him, considering
the awful Jobs he puts up on the boys
here, when he attends the Browning
dances.
There was regular stampede toward
Gus. Momberg's last Sunday. Wise old
ladies, middle aged matrons, and eager
young girls men on horse back, in
wagons, and afoot wended their way
thither to congratulate the mother and
father, on the birth of two as pretty girl
babies as were ever seen. Mrs. M. is
1 very proud OF her twins, was in excellent
spirits, and Gus. though quite feeble,
will pull through if he suffers no relapse.
We won't do thing to you when we get
you in front of a show case of good
cigars.
The Inhabitants OF Caughran and
Reilly's grading camp seem to be bad
lot. The other day young man was set
upon by three of the graders and beaten
with rocks until insensible, after which
he was robbed of $3.50, all the money he
had, by the foot pads. The highwaymen
were traced to Blackfoot, and there the
Eclue was lost, but the miscreants have
been widely advertised, and no doubt
will be apprenended.
What has become of the Rounder? We
miss his comicalities -. VIM. Kipp is
building very handsome barr John
4. Kennedy, and Captain Smith, of
Helena, have bonded their two claims in
the Swift Current district for $4,000.
1t is expected that work on the new
school buildings will be commenced at
an early date. :. Trout fishing in Flat
iron creek is reported good :. Jos. Kipp
has turned the water of Willow creek
into the large lake near his home, ex-
pecting to raise it about three feet.
William Murphy may deliver a lecture
soon on his trip to the Klondike. A
slight wave without precipitation came
from the north on the Goth. Lack of
moisture creates uLeasiness among
stockmen, and fears of dry season are
entertained.
One of the most popular employees at
the agency recently had longing for
roast goose, and learning that several
flocks of the gray variety were feeding
in grassy lake not far distant from
Browning, he started in con pany with
the doctor for their resort in hopes of
bagging one. He laboriously approached
the big birds taking advantage of every
shelter, and anon crawling over beds Of
cactus to the detriment of clothing and
cuticle. Just another crawl and the
slaughter would begin. They were
genuine honkers, and visions of one of
the. noble fowls done to turn, hanked
with the usual trimmings, made his
mouth water in anticipation, AS he
gloated over the quarry, some reprehen
