'an elderly man by the name OF Fisher
from Almena just left here in q wagon

The bicyclist said that it must be

Fitzpatrick Withdraws Libel Suits
and VIII Vote for Franchise.
Atlanta, Aug. 6.-Alderman Kilpat-
rick, who recently brought suits aggre-
eating $4,000 against the Fourth ward
committee and the Journal for libel,
has withdrawn his suits, as the result
of a love-feast with members of the
committee, at which retractions Were
made on all sides and everybody was
made happy.
Not only this but the Alderman has
come square around and will now vote
for the franchise of the Atlanta Rapid
Transit Company, which he has so
bitterly opposed. This, he says. he will
do on account OF the passage of an
ordinance to secure a charter amend
ment to tax the charters of both COM
panies through which he thinks some
thing can be gotten for the city. The
turn about of Alderman Fitzpatrick is
quite a surprise in view of the bitter
ness with which the war has been
waged.

Permanent Stakes Established.

There Is considerable conjecture as
to which direction the railroad
which is being surveyed through the
Basin, is going to take and although
a number of flying surveys nave been
made 1t Is almost impossible to find
out the exact route which will be fol-
lowed.
There are several corps Of survey
ors working and while the advance
guard Is making short preliminary
surveys 8, the corps which Is bringing
up the real Is setting the permanent
stakes and have proceeded al far az
the Dawes ranch which Is situated
half way between CARMEL and TIBET.
Mr.. Frank b. Hassett, OF CARMEL,
who was In the city on Monday says
that one party is engaged In setting
out stakes down Ross's Fork though
whether 1t was a permanent survey
or not, he could not say.
1t certainly seems that there Ia an
idea of building a branch road to
Lewistown as nearly all Of the short
surveys are In this direction.
There IL very little uneaslness man
Tested on the matter by the citizens
of Lewistown and confidence Is ex.
pressed that the many oil
this section OF the county cannot
long be ignored.

Bear Are Plentiful this Fall.

There has been an unusual number
Of bear killed In the Belt mountains
this season and George Fraser, of
Utica while In the city last week said
that he shot a big s~ilvertip in the
vicinity OF Yogo q short time ago.
r. l.. Potter and Roy Herreld, OF
Utica, cleaned up their unerring rifles
a few days ago and started on IA
hunting trip toward the Lost and
Middle forks OF the Judith.
Inside Of two days Mr.. Potter re-
turned to bis comfortable tireside
and brought back nothing but a
vivid appreciation Of the comforts OF
home and the luxuries OF civilization.
His hunting companion remained
In the mountains as he had made ar
rangements to continue his hunt for
a longer period az he was figuring
on a few bear skins to send home to
his friends In California.
The residents, oil Utica, were there
fore much surprised when the enter
prising Nimrod arrived home the
second morning after the hOmecom-
ing OF Mr.. Potter and 1t seemed
strange that his appearance gave
every evidence OF a hasty departure
as he was minus bed and camping
outfit and had a somewhat h~arassed
expression on his usually happy
countenance.
A story has leaked out, as such
stories will, that 1t was a big old
mother bear with a couple of inter
esting cubs who persuaded the desci'
pie Of Nimrod that the altitude oI
the Belt mountains was far too high
for him.

SMALLPOX REGULATIONS LAX.
Cases Should be Isolated and Proper At
tention Given to the Establishing
of Quarantine.

Many complaints have been made
by residents of the city during the
last week regarding the laxity OF the
smallpox quarantine regulations
within the limits OF Lewistown.
1t is the general opinion that the
idea of quarantining a patient in q
room OF a house which Is occupied
by other members OF the family il
futile and foolish and the quarantine
might as well be lifted Mt once. There
are two alternatives; that of remov-
ing a patient to "A properly establish.
ed pest house or hospital or the es-
tablishment OF a quarantine on the
entire house in which he is living.
There is no doubt but that In most
cases the establishment of acomplete
quarantine Is burdensOme and ex-
pensive to the householder and 1t Is
up to the city authorities and the
health officials to provide some
means whereby a patient can be
isolated and cared for In a proper
manner.
Snch steps have been taken In
Billings to the entire satisfaction Of
all concerned and a. a cost which is
almost nominal when the dire re-
suits OF the spread OF a contagious
disease are taken into consideration.
This matter ought not to be treated
In the light and airy mannerin which
1t has hitherto been banded and the
old proverb. IAN ounce Of prevention
is better than a pound of cure"
might well be borne In mind by the
health officials and the city authori-
ties.
