Bever, arrived this morning from New
York and will remain for an extended
visit.
Senator and Mrs. o. G. Gruwell re-
turned this morning from Hunters
Hot Springs, where Mr. Gruwell spent
several weeks. He Is much improved
in health, but still manifests unmis-
taxable evidence Of the severity of the
| sickness he underwent.
Fred H. Hathhorn took his depart
ure this morning for Forsyth, where
he appears as mi of the lawyers re-
tanned in the latest election litigation
which has arisen in Rosebud county.
This time the trouble grows out OF
the establishment of a registration
district on the Crow reservation.
Bob" Mills, who resides in the ex-
IRENE eastern portion of the state,
was arrested this morning by Stock
Inspector J. T. Webb for failing to x
pose the hide of a beef, the meat OF
which he sold. Mills is not a IL
censed butcher and therefore is re-
quired by law to expose the hides of
cattle killed by him for the market.
A delegation from the local aerie
of Eagles went to Miles City last Sat
urday night to assist in the institution
of an aerie at that place. Among
others who went was the team" OF
the arie, composed of William Hank
ner, William Schneider, E. w. Keene,
w. w. Smith, j. A. Christ and Carl
Flaigg, who saw to it that the wings
were properly attached to the Mile
sian fedglings. AS a starter a class
of 1O3 was thus supplied.
Today the final meeting of the cred
itors of Tintinger Bros, who went into
voluntary bankruptcy, was to have
been held at the Office of Referee
Firth. No one appeared, as there was
nothing to be divided. The bankrupts
reside at Big Timber, where they have
been engaged in farming and stock
raising. Their liabilities amounted to
s .222.75. After the exemptions al
lowed by law, only $1,000 remained,
not enough to pay the costs.
A meeting of the subscribers to
stock in the creamery was held this
morning. The object was to name a
committee for the purpose of selecting
a site and to arrange necessary pre-
liminaries to the first regular meet
ing, when organization of the COM
pany will be perfected. Unless some
unforeseen delay occurs, a man will
PROBABLY arrive tomorrow to lay out
the work and actual construction of
the plant will be under way very
shortly after that.
C. H. Fitch, we'll known to many in
the city because of his connection
with the reclamation service, spent
yesterday in the city. Mr.Fitch came
up from the Black Hills, where he
had been looking over the Belle
Fourche project. He said that the
published reports concerning the
abandonment of the project because OF
the unwillingness Of the farmers to
be benefited to organize themselves
into a water users association, as re-
quired by the government, had been
a trife premature. Although tardy in
acting, the settlers are forming the
necessary organization and work on
the canal will probably be begun be-
fore long. Mr.. Fitch left today for
North Dakota.
XIV. A. Smith, for the last 10 years
with the Billings Water Power com
pany, left this morning for Forsyth,
where he will probaly conclude to
make his home permanently. Mr..
Smith has been engaged by the COM
pany organized there for the purpose
of installing a water and electric
light plant and will superintend it's
construction and afterward be general
superintendent. This year only the
lighting portion of the proposed works
will be installed, the remainder to be
completed next year. AS a start the
company will supply 1000 incandes-
cent lamps and eight enclosed arc
lights for street lighting. Because of
his long residence here the gentle
mans many friends are sorry to hear
OF his departure, although congratu-
vancement.
Judge and Mrs. F. L.. Mann were
the recipients of a pleasant surprise
last Saturday evening. They were
in the act of leaving the house to at
tend the social gathering of the Sons
of Herman, but got nc further than
the door. A large number OF their
friends entered and took possession
, of the premises and the occupants, at
the same time, reminding them that
unless they were very much mistaken
exactly Is years had passed since the
judge and his blushing bride stood in
front of the altar taking the vows that
{. made them man and wife. 1t was for
the purpose of congratulating them
on the anniversary of that important
event and to wish them many re-
turns" that the s~elf-invited guests
were assembled. They came well pro-
vided with refreshments and also be-
slowed numerous beautiful and val
liable presents upon the victims OF
!, the little conspiracy.
EThe Wizard of o." the blithe and
!, Aerry extravaganza, which is one OF
the seasons real hits, will doubtless
be welcomed next Thursday, Novem'
Der 3, by an audience that will crowd
