DR.. L. G. Bruning Of Miles City, late
assistant surgeon of the First Mon
tana volunteers, was in town a short
time this morning on his way home
from Great Falls, where he attended
the annual meeting of Spanish-Ameri-
can wal veterans.
Arthur Howard, a man of color, was
the only offender in police court this

]. L. Harrington, the Burlington's
local agent, has returned from Sheri-
dan, where he went several days ago
on the receipt of a telegram announc-
ing the serious illness of n of his
children, who with Mrs. Harrington,
are visiting friends there. He found
the little one much better and con
sidered out of danger. K
The cement walk OF the east Side
of the First National bank block has
been completed and n is now being
laid in front of the court house and
the business houses to the south. As
soon as this shall have been finished
it is more than probable that the good
work will continue northward and a
like walk constructed in front of the
Grand hotel and the property of P.
H. Smith to the north and thence on
to Second avenue, north. Y
Henry Chapman, a well known Car
bon county ranchman, came in last
night from a visit to the ranges in
the vicinity Of Sheridan, Wyo. Mr..
} Chapman has been to- that locality for
} the purpose of looking up a range for
) his stock. He reports that many OF
t the stock owners of his locality have
found it necessary to move their herds
elsewhere on account of the drought
prevailing throughout Carbon county
( That section has had no moisture this
spring, and is the only part of eastern
i Montana which has not been visite(
by rainfall. X
D Thomas Sherwood, a we'll know
r musician of the city, is %perfecting ar
( rangements to organize a r. O..
band. The old Billings band, ono
the pride of the city, has been dis
banded and it is the purpose of tn
promoter of the proposed organization
e to make it the equal in every respec
s of the old. The new band will
h be composed of firstclass musician
and will be ready for business just a
soon ase Mr.. Sherwood lines them u
n for a few hours practice. Parties dc
k sirous of joining should commun!
cate with that gentleman through tn
O postof1ice.
IS So mans1 contradictory orders hav
been issued Of late in regard to tn
d s%tationing of regulars at the Montan
d posts that it is almost impossible t
1t tell what will be done in this respec
It The latest orders are for a detacl
ment, probably a battalion, of tn
T~wenty-first- infantry to take static
at Fort Keogh, while a battalion (
the Twenty-fourth will go to Fort Ha
!. rison. The latter regiment was oril
:. inally ordered to take station at Fol
Smelling, but such a howl went u
- frem Minneapolis and st. Paul again'
gaT,isoning that post with colore
soldiers that the war departmel
chan ed the programme and the reg
ment goes elsewhere.
"a Miles City seemingly is not "
satisfied that it's ball team is stror
: enough to go against any Of tho'
- who may be ranked among the SEN
professional. Usually among tt
first to challenge Billings, nothir
has been heard from the men at Il
mouth Of the Tongue in regard to
:. game. So far Miles has played q
body but the soldiers at Fort Keog
It is preparing a new ball park al
will probably hustle and get a tea
which it may pit against some of Il
