emerald tint.

drugs with a view of starting a first.
class drug store here.

Rafter building just below Fosters

converted into an u~p-to-date laundry.

.perienced laundryman, will have full
charge of the business.
The dance given under the auspices
of the Gilt Edge Band proved a very
pleasant social event and was well
attended. The country was well rep
resented as well as Maiden, Spotted
Horse and Whiskey Gulch, and all
voted 1t a royal good time.
]. II. Mccormick has resigned his
position as foreman Of the Whisky
Gulch mill and has accepted the posi-.
ton of mine foreman for the King.
Barnes properties at Kendall. Mr..
Mccormick has had charge of the
Whisky Gulch mill ever since its con-
.struction and has proved a very capa.
BILE man. He leaves a host of friends
here who rejoice at his good fortune,
but regret that the change has taken
him from u midst.
The infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Cox died Friday morning at ten
O'Clock from an attack of inflamma-
ton of the bowels. The babe was only
a month old and was in apparent good
health until Thursday afternoon,
when she was taken i'll very sudden
ly. and despite all medical skill she
grew rapidly worse and by ten o'clock
the following day the Angel of Death
had drawn the curtain of eternity
W the dawning life of the little one.
Funeral services were held under the
auspices of the Modern Woodmen
lodge at two o'clock Saturday, Rev.
Winters officiating. We extend our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
parents.
School began Monday after a vaca.
ton of over two months. The school
mouse was thoroughly cleaned and
fumigated and all books were de-
stroyed. The school board has pur-
chased from the Great Northern Min
ing and Development company a
block of ground just opposite the
Rafter hall for the site of the new
school house. The plans for the new
school house have been selected and
we understand that ground will soon
be broken for its erection. The
board has displayed excellent judy
ment in its selection of a site. Its po-
sition in the upper end of town will
not discomode the town children,
While it will prove a great conven-
fence to the children living up the
gulch.
Under Sheriff Charles Crawford of
Fort Benton and Abraham ID. Gill, of
Landusky, arrived on the Nickle
Plate Thursday and proceeded to the
grave of the horse thief who was kill
ed by Deputy Sheriff Martin while
resisting arrest for horse stealing.
While operating in this section he had
gone under the name of Bud Tyler.
The body was exhumed and found to
be in an excellent state of preserva-
ton and the officers had no hesitancy
pronouncing him to be the Sam Lar
sen who had given The authorities Of
northern Montana no end of trouble
and had eluded all efforts to capture
him. U~ndersheriff Crawford made the
remark that Martin had performed a
good job for the state. as the crimes
standing against larsen would fill a
large book.
