PRAISES THE FAIR,
Or. J. 3. Atchison Returns Home From
His Trip to Portland,

DR.. j. B. Atchison returned home
Tuesday evening after an absence of
some weeks, during which time he
visited Denver and then went on to
the Portland exposition, and visited
several of the cities on the sound.
DR.. Atchison is enthusiastic over the
fair itself. which, while much small
er than the international exposition
at st. Louis, is still worthy the at
tention of everyone. 1t is very com.
pact and we'll arranged, and the Unit
ed States exhibit is alone worth a
trip to Portland to see. DR.. Atchison
says that the entire absence Of graft
Is most refreshing. and instead of try
ing to practice extortion, the main
effort of the people OF Portland seems
to be directed to giving all visitors
royal welcome and good time
while they are in the fair city.
While at Portland, the doctor at

are most instructive. His visits to

cities on the sound were full of pleas.
ure. and he returns home delighted
with his trip. The doctor believes,
however, that those who are going
to visit the fair will lose nothing by
waiting until September, when the
weather will be cooler and travelling
more agreeable.

reaching Helena today from Logan
that is about what glass of bever
age amounted to for deputy sheriff
in that town last Saturday.
On the Fourth of July, at a dance
at Geyser, Cascade county, George
Ricketts, killed William Hedge. He

Ricketts, is a sheep-shearer and, &C.
cording to the story from Logan, he
joined band of shearers in that vi.
cinity shortly after the crime was
committed. Saturday the deputy sher.
if was informed that Ricketts, was in
the band. The man was arrested and
Sheriff Hogan was notified.
Meantime the deputy at Logan and
the prisoner had several hours on
their hands, while waiting for a train.
The deputy did not put the bracelets

Is Quick to Act.
Not long before train time the dep.
uty and his prisoner sat down on the
porch of saloon. The officer was
invited to take a cooling drink and
started in. At the same instant a
ranchman rode up to the place, dis.
mounted and hitching his horse, pro
ceeded into the saloon.
The deputy heard the door open be.
hind him and thought his prisoner
was following him. Instead of this,
however, it was the ranchman. Mean.
time the prisoner had walked to where
the horse was hitched, mounted and
leisurely made his way along the
street for 200 yards when he put
spurs to the horse. The animal is a
racer and it took only few moments
to put safe distance between the
prisoner and the pursuers.
AT last accounts neither man nor
horse had been heard of, and it is
feared that Ricketts, has permanently
given the officers the slip.
