=. News.

Last week Big Timber voters were to
be honored and RECALLED by an oppor-
tunity of hearing several orators of
prominence. Circumstances, accidents
and one thing or another, however,
the whole programme. e. r.
Hutchins, a prominent republican politi-
cal speaker from Illinois, was to speak
here on September %, and also Hon. Sam
Murray, nominee for congress. Mr..
Hutchins disappointed the citizens here
by his n%on-arrival through some sort OF
railway accident near Chicago. Whether
he will speak here later on or not is UNI
certain. The Hon. sam Murray, how
ever, arrived on time, but was met by a
most b~eseeching petition, signed by the
greater part Of the people in and about
Melville, Sweet Grass county, asking that
his date here be Cancelled and that he
speak to the people there on the 2Sth
instead of here. Some eight years ago
Mr.. Murray spoke at Melville during a
political campaign, and he so endeared
himself to the voters there that when
the announcement came out that he was
to speak at Big Timber they made up a
petition so strong that Mr.. Murray was
obliged to cancel his date here and speak
to the people of Melville. Mr.. Murray
was accompanied from here by j. A.
Hall, George Hatch, chairman of the
county central committee, and many
other prominent Mckinley supporters.
Their reception at Melville was more
hearty han they had reason to expect.
There was a democratic gathering being
held there at the time, headed by the
smooth Jake De Hart. The unexpected
advent of Mr.. Murray broke Jake's heart
and the democratic meeting up at the
same time, and all went to hear the Hon.
Sam Murray speak. His speech was most
heartily received by the audience, and
will aid much in the republican u
On November 6. The party returned to
Big Timber in time for Mr.. Murray to
catch his train for Livingston, where he
spoke on the following day.
Rev. Stull, who was chaplain of he
First Montana regiment in the Philip
pines, spoke at the Busha & Bailey a
last Friday evening. Mr.. Stull is a NOM
inee for representative in Yellowstone
county and is making speeches here and
there in the interests of himself and the
general, republican good He came here
to speak with, the view Of refuting
charges made against him by Senator W.
H. Hannah, a retired minister, Inc gen
orally known hereabouts as the stalk
ing senator" The speech was Interesting
in it's laughable roasting by, the speak~>
of stalking Senator Hannah.
Barney Hogan and Joe McNulty, min
ing men of the Upper Boulder, were in
Big Timber seeking supplies. They re-
port a greater activity in the mining
propositions there recently han in many
years past. Placer mining is unusually
good in that vicinity. Quartz miners are
unusually active and prosperous and
,eprospectors are numerous.
