The attorneys for the contestee in
the Hopkins election contest case con-
cluded their labors here Friday after
noon and no more witnesses will be
examined or no more dispositions taken
as the case has been removed to Helena,
! where, if the case comes up at all, it
will be before the senate committee on
privileges and elections.
The James McGraw ranch on the
north side was the scene of most
enjoyable dance Friday night, which
many from Forsyth and the surround
ing country attended. AT midnight a
very pa;atable luncheon was served
and those who awaited themselves of
the evenings enjoyment are loud in
their praises of the hospitality of the
| McGraws.
The following from the Livingston
Post will be of interest to the many
| friends of DR.. A. Butler, formerly a
practicing physician of this place !:
| CDR. Albert Butler was in the city on
his way to Jardine, where he will look
after the ills of the miners in that
camp, succeeding DR.. Mckay, who has
resigned. 1t is not unlikely that the
new physician will have his hands full
when spring arrives and the mines
start running full time. Those posted
on the situation look for the employ
ment of 800 to 400 men at Jardine dur
ing the coming season.
! James S. Hamilton of Saddle Noun
tain, O. T., has written to parties
here asking that some reliable person
look after the estate of ]. w. C'.Black'O
| Perry, who was killed last summer on
the Crow reservation by James Hay
ME, who claimed he killed Perry in
self-defense, and was discharged. Mr..
Hamilton claims that the dead man
was his brother, and states that Perry
changed his name about eight years
ago, after he had had some trouble at
dance at Ardmore, I. r., and was
cut twice with a knife, falling from the
wounds he received. After he fell to
his knees he cut his opponent in the
leg, severing an artery which caused
the mans death. Coming to Montana,
he changed his name from ]. w. Ham
ilton to J. w. Perry. Hamilton says
| that Perry was his only brother.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Simpson of the
north side have departed for Freewater,
Oregon, where they will make their
future home, they having some time ago
purchased several acres of profitable
fruit land. This news will be received
with much regret by those who were
acquainted with the estimable couple,

Yellowstone Journal: James Ken
nedy is down from Rosebud. He states
that he has not had occasion to feed
stock yet this winter, and that they
are doing better now than in the month

answer for water while the recent skift
or two we have had has answered.
It was, indeed, a large and most ap-
preciative congregation that assembled
in the church Tuesday evening to greet
Bishop L. r. Brewer of the Episcopal
diocese. The bishop, who was assisted
in the services by Rev. John Evans of

and although the reverend gentleman
was in his sixty-first year the night he
was here, he shows evidence of an
ability to continue in his noble work
for many years yet to come.
It's wonderful how easy it is for a
small man to swallow his anger when
