Jack BrazeltOn u Warrant.

Numerous friends in Philipsburg and
Granite will be panied to learn that Jack
Brazelton, formerly prominent resi-
dent Of Granite, was last week sent tc
jail in Missou]a on charge of yagrancy.
In 1889 there was not a more popular
man in Granite than was Jack Brazel-
ton. He was member of the constitu-
tional convention and in 1889 was elected
clerk and recorder of Deer Lodge county.
He moved to Deer Lodge and after the
expiration of his term of office went to
Texas, where he lost all his money spec
u]ating in Arkansas Pass real estate.
This misfortune caused him to drink
heavily and he went gradually down
from bad to worse, Last,week in Mis-
soula he landed in Jail as vagrant.
The downfall of such a man as Jack
Brazelton is to be regretted.
