From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Chief of Police Warner departed
yesterday morning for a ten days stay
at Hunters Hot Springs.
Miss Mable linn of Butte is in the
city the guest of Mrs.. Taylor of
Thirty-second street, forth.
Miss Louise QDothell is visiting
the family Of Mr.. Aepd Mrs. E. B. Hast
ings, who resides up the valley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherd Soule and their
daughter, Miss Mildred, who have
been visiting On the coast, are ex-
pected to return today.
Ed. Crawford Of Gilt Edge is among
the visitors in the CITY. He reports
unusual activity in/fhe mines of that
district and stys$ Some new strikes of
considerable IMPORTANCE. have been
made thereof late.
Arrangements have been made by
the directors of the fair association
for the introduction into the center
of the grounds of the city water
works. Heretofore temporary pipes
have been laid from the present ter
minus of the service to the place
where it was desired to have the
water, which has always incurred
considerable expense, besides being
unsatisfactory at best.
Sheriff Hubbard has returned from
a trip up the road, during which he
made stops at Big Timber and Liv-
ingston, in the hope that he might
obtain a clue to the two men who
stole Sebastian Longbear's horses
and sold them to a couple of ranchers
of the valley. He was unable to
learn anything concerning the thieves
and as they are described as mere
boys, he is of the opinion that if they
availed themselves of the railroad in
order to leave the country they took
passage as box car tourists and con-
sequently escaped the attention Of
officers along the road.
B. A. Campbell, trainmaster of this
division of the Burlington, was up
from Sheridan yesterday. He called
ed on Austin North and upon repre-
sensations that he wound have no
further cause of complaint on the
same score induced Mr.. North to con-
sent to a dismissal of the pending
action growing out Of the blocking of
streets by the company's cars. Mr..
Campbell assured him that it would
not occur again if his authority
could prevent it, and he thought it
was ample to meet all requirements,
but if a like offense was again COM
mitted would see to it that the par
ties guilty would be punished.
While not publishing it as official,
the Yellowstone Journal says it is
reported that the Rev. Mr.. Stull, &C.
entity pastor of the Methodist church
of this city and who was appointed
chaplain in the regular army, has
been selected for the position of post
chaplain at Fort Aeogh. Should the
report prove to- be true %will un-
doubtedly be te sourcs~of much pleas
ure to the Is@erend gentleman's
friends in Billings and elsewhere in
the state, as it will insure his contin-
ued residence in a field in which he
has always enjoyed immense popular
ity and in which he has accomplished
much good of a lasting nature.
