CANNOT FIND HIM
TWO YEAR OLD BOY IS LOST FOR

Country Around Manhattan secured III
Vain for Traces of the
Lost Child.
BEEN GONE FOR OVER A WEEK.
Bozeman, Feb.


News reached here yesterday even
mig that considerable excitement hao
been created in Manhattan and vicinity
Nv the mysterious disappearance of the
two-year-old son of Mrs. j. A. Griffin.
who resides on the Cruise ranch few
miles from Manhattan. The story is as
follows: On last Thursday afternoon
the little son Of Mrs. Griffin strayed
away, and after a hurried search no
trace of him could be found and an alarm
was given and the neighbors FASTENED to
aid in the search. Every place where
the boy was likely to come to hand was
carefully examined, the ice along the
creek was chopped out and everything
done that could he thought of, but all
without result SO far. More than 100
people took part in the hunt, and have
done all they could to allay the distress
OF the mother. who is almost frantic.
There has been trouble in the family.
and some persons are inclined to think
that the father in spirit of mean re-
venge has caused the boy to be taken
by some one to cause trouble. He Is
somewhere in Colorado and the officers
have wired to his last address to find
out, if possible, whether he was impli-
Gated in the abduction. In the meantime
the search continues, but with very
little hope on the part of those engaged
in it of ever finding the little fellow.
Agent Hoyt is authority for the state
ment that the Northern Pacific following
their usual custom. has made very low
rate on cattle that are to be shipped il
from eastern terminals 10 stock the
ranges and improve the herds. The re
duced rate applies to stations In th!!
county as far west as Manhattan. ant
has heretofore been quite a help to tn,
ranchmen and cattlemen in getting il
new blood to keep up the quality of thei
animals.

William Buckley, who mas been resi-
dent of BoZeman and Chestnut for many
years, died on Tuesday morning. He has
been sufferer from rheumatism for
great many years, which complicated
with other ailments was the cause of his
death. He was about 81 years of age and
unmarried and latterly resided with his
sister, Mrs. Isabella White, of Chest
nut The funeral took place on Wednes-
day afternoon and was largely attended.
Henry Mccartney. of Chestnut is at
the Foster sanitarium, having had sew
eral of his toes crushed in attempting to
pass through between two freight cars
in order to reach the depot at Chestnut
a day or two ago. He had come down to
meet his wife, whom he expected on the
train from the west. and found the way
blocked by freight train that was
standing on siding. Thinking to make
time. he attempted to pass between two
OF the cars by climbing over the coup
ling. Just then the train moved a short
distance, and his foot was caught be-
tween the bumpers, resulting in the
crushing as above stated. 1t was some
time before he was discovered by man
,, passing by and helped from his perlous
and painful position. On arriving at the
sanitarium it was found necessary to
| amputate his toes. he was not otherwise
! injured, and is doing nicely.

portance of studying and developing
our material resources. / have for
many years longed to see the day
when Mississippi would boast of a
bold, fearless, honest, outspoken news
paper press; one that would excori-
ate the demagogue and shyster, and
speak ont for whatever would advance
the moral, material and intellectual
growth and prosperity of our great
State, and | believe my desire is soon
to be gratified. When the auspicious
day comes that every great question
affecting the public welfare is to be
discussed and decided in the interest
of the public, and not in that of any
man, or clique or set of men, then
will our State rise in the beauty of her
magisterial power, and take her place
in the front rank of the sisterhood of
states in this great union.

The Late Woman,

The woman who is always late. Do
you know her? 1t may be a luncheon,
dinner or tea, church or club meeting
and often she is the one who ought to
be the first on hand, and here she
comes in fifty minutes late as smiling
and complacent as if nobody had been
inconvenienced in the least by her
tardiness. ! may not be right about it,
but somehow this tagging in late i'm
presses me as arising from mental shift
lessness. The brain does not act with
any sort of system. Interruptions are
among the possibilities for every wo-
man, but she can provide for them by
giving herself plenty of time, and
when the minute comes that should see
her departure, she should allow moth
ing short of providential reasons to
keep her from starting. OF course, a
woman of sensibilities really suffers
when she is late at an engagement and
realizes that she has caused the dis
comfort of Others and such a woman
will avoid its occurrence again, but the
woman who makes it rule never
the exception to come in at the
eleventh hour, when the soup is cold,
or the rolls clammy, or when she is ex-
pected to open a meeting of some
kind, and arrives an hour late what is
to be done with her? | suppose the
case hardly admits of legislation or of
throwing her in jail, but some kind of
punishment ought to be her reward
Don't you think so, gentle reader?-

torney General McClurg to take a
step which he has long contemplated
This is TO draw and distribute a short

which either can be used in its entirety
or will afford guide to those who in
tend to draw up charters. OF course
large number of charters of incorpo-
ration received and passed upon by
the attorney general are strictly legal
and well drawn up, but even in this
class they are, as rule about three
times as long as they ought to be.
And when it comes to charters for
colored societies, of which there are
numbers, the tropical luxuriousness
of language and the ornate and figura-
tive style are almost beyond concep-
ton.
