In this issue we publish the
official announcement of N. r,
Spurs candidacy for the re-
nomination as auditor OF
Stevens county, and it is in
deed gratifying to us to pre-
sent for the consideration OF
the voters, the name of a man
whose past record alone should
secure for him the nomination
of his party, for this respon-
sible Office. Mr.. Spur has
served the county faithfully,
and deserves denomination,
and it is incumbent upon the
voters of stevens county to see
that he gets it.

We are led to believe from
the following article, that the
Herman Enterprise editor has
but little respect for her neigh
boring town: "Mary McLane of
Butte, Mont, who is attracting
so much attention from her
overweight literary produc-
tons, was born at BreCken-
ridge. Perhaps this explains
her desire to see the devil.
Her hysterical literary produce
tons may be sort of a manifes-
tatiOn of inconsistencies COM
bined with a memory of her
Breckenridge associates. If
she failed to find a sure enough
devil there she would probably
find such a close resemblance
in him that she would never
know the difference.

A few years before his death
Benjamin Franklin gave to the
cities of Boston and Phila-

be used for the benefit of print

and claim the principal and

KILLS ALLEGED WHlTEcAPPER.
Montana Man Claims Shooting Was
Done in SeIf-Defense.

Lewiston, Mont, Aug. 29.-George
Fredericks was killed and Jacot
STANCE MORALLY wounded eighteen
miles south Of here. John Reiter has
confessed to the shooting, claiming
that it was done in self-defense.
Reiter says the men attempted to
tar and feather him, but he succeeded
in getting gun and shooting them.
After the shooting Reiter gave him
self up to the sheriff here.
The coroner's jury held an inquest
over the body of Fredericks. Reiter
was exonerated from the killing of
Fredericks. If STANCE dies it is
thought that Reiter will be held on a
charge of murder, as the former was
shot in the back.
