THE TAX MONEY IS
STREAMING IN
Treasurer Lockwood Reports
a Good Collection for the
Year 1908.

Next Monday, Nov 30, is the last
day. All taxes unpaid after that date
become delinquent and a ten per cent
penalty will be added.
The way the tax money has been
streaming into the county Golfers would
indicate that the tax payers of Rava1-
Ii county are prosperiug. The small
collections, Treasurer Lockwood says,
have been unusually good this season.
Out of total tax to collect of S11S =
315.35 about $45,OO has been paid.
Several big iterns including about
$4,000 due from the A. c, M. Co
about So 900 due from the Daily estate
and $12,1S from the Northern Pacihc
Railway company constitute the bulk
of the tax outstanding. All these
items will probably be cleaned up this
week and the delinquent list will
doubtless be less than usual this year.
For the accommodation of the pub
lie, Treasurer Lock wood and assist
ants, Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ. Johnson,
will be on duty until 9 O'Clock each
evening during the remainder of the

YOUNG LADIES ENTERTAIN.

The girls were host at the hard times
dance at the rink Friday night, and
added new lustre to their established
reputat ton as entertainers. Over a
hundred guests enjoyed their hospi-
tality, and entered into the pleasure
of the occasion in spirit that made it
the most delightful function of the
season.
Much merriment was provoked by
the costumes. Many taxed their in
genuity in making up" appearing in
tattered garb representing the most
abject poverty. Few fines for con-
ventional dress were imposed, as none
dared to violate the injunction which
the young ladies had made as the price
of their entertainment.
By skilful decoration the spacious
rink was converted into the interior
of a farm house in winter. A fire.
place with large bowl of apples on
the hearth was one of the pleasing
decorative features. No detail that
might contribute to the enjoyment of
their guests was overlooked by the
girls in planning the dance, and their
efforts were thoroughly appreciated.

WOUNDED
Injured Seriously by Acciden-
tai Discharge of Shotgun
but Will Recover.

Louis Greenough, of Bozeman, who
is visiting his uncle J. M. Taylor of
the west side, was severely wounded
Saturday by the accidental discharge
of shotgun.
With his two small cousins he was
returning in a wagon from an old
setting of the Dunbar & Johnson saw
mill near Blodgett canyon. He took
his gun along to shoot prairie chickens
and on his way home kept it loaded
ready for use in case they should
scare up any of the birds. While
driving through gate he leaned the
barrel of the gun against his shoulder
and the jar of the wagon discharged
it, the shot taking effect in the right
shoulder.
DR.. Owens, who attended the young
man, found that the injury was SER
ious, but states that the patient will
recover in due time.

slipped, throwing him under
meath the wagon. Both wheels
passed over his limb, breaking
both bones just below the knee.
He called to the horses but
they refused to stop, so he hop
