"A letter received by the Livingston
representative of the Inter Mountain
from Hon. G. l.. Henderson, the Nestor
of Wonderland, is authority for the
statement that the great chasm of boil
ing water known as 'Helfs Half Acre.
is on the rampage again. The eruption
of Excelsior geySer started on the morn
ing of Washingtons birthday and, ac-
cording to the letter. continued for
period of five hours. Firehole river was
made to overflow it's banks, and the in
tluX of boiling water is said to have
killed numbers of fish. Mr.. Henderson
remarks that if the liquid volcano
known as Excelsior geyser becomes as
destructive this time as it did in 1882,
and tears down it's geyserite wall, Para
disc lake and six other lakes in close
proximity to the crater will be utte.ly
destroyed. The eruption, up to the pres
ent time, partakes more of the nature
of the one which occurred in 1883, which
was not nearly so violent as the one
of 1882. In the year 1883, there We're no
seismic shocks to destroy the walls Of
the crater, such as occurred in 1882. In
that year great rocks We're hurled many
| feet into the air and the walls of the
seething cauldron We're shattered in
many places. Mr. Henderson also re-
ports the birth of new geyser in Foun-
tain geyser basin.
Calamity Jane is in town again. She
entered a certain newspaper office in
this city this morning and wanted to
know where the dirty cur was who said
she was in the poor house. She wanted
it clearly understood that she was
never in poor house in her life and
she would cut any loW-lived son of
brute into shoe strings who said she
was ever dependent on charity for a
| living. She nearly scared the prints
out of years growth by her wild and
ferocious antics, and it required a NICE
artistic job IF lying to convince her that
she was IN the wrong place. She wan
dered out after time, still vowing the
direst kind of vengeance upon the man
who wrote the article which said she
! was in the Gallatin county poor house.
She left today for Bozeman.
