for several months over the owner
ship of valuable mining ground at
Spring valley. Kennedy claims
that the three men unlawfully
located his ground and had forbid
him going to do his work. The
three men, it is alleged, had even
torn down the corner post and
otherwise obliterated every mark
of ownership maize by Kennedy.
Monday night as the Forbelcy
brothers and Ray were in the
saloon. Kennedy entered. Kennedy
called Mike Forbelcy the "butter-
fly kid" at which Forbeley took
exceptions, and pulling a 49,

Last Friday afternoon, in the pres ence of large number of friends who represented every home in the Indian town of Douglas, Annie Martin, de- ceased wife of James Martin, was laid to rest beside the grave of her mother in the Indian burial grounds. By the demise of this young woman, noble life has been taken out of home and out of a community. Annie Martin was a faithful and dutiful wife; a mother who by precept and example showed her deep sense of responsibility for the temporal and spiritual well-being of her little ones. "She never drank a dropl" is the wonderful testimony of those who knew Annie from childhood. -Communicated.

Camp Treadwell No. l4, A. B., met at the council room in the City hall last night, Arctic Chief Bennett presiding. Although there are six candidates in waiting, it is perhaps needless to state that there were no limitations. It is hoped a more suitable place may be found by the next meeting night. A committee of seven, of which Arctic Chief Bennett is chairman, was ap- pointed to investigate the feasibility of building hall.

LYRIC THEATRE
OPENS TONIGHT
A SPLENDID PROGRAM OUT
LINED AT THE NEW
SHOW HOUSE THIS
EVENING.

The Lyric, the new moving pic
ture theatre, will give It's opening
performance this evening, the first
show commencing at 1880. An es-
pecially inviting program has been
arranged for this occasion, with ex-
cellent music furnished by Burke's
orchestra of Kalispell.
R. P. Jones the proprietor, is an
experienced man in the moving pic
ture show business. The building
occupied has been fitted up especi-
ally for him in a most convenient
and comfortable manner. A new
photograph motion picture machine
has been installed, which is one of
the best on the market, and insures
the best results from the films. The
pictures will be projected on new
curtain, known as the Chemo Crys-
tai curtain. 1t is the most brilliant
and produces the sharpest pictures,
and does not distress the eyes, no
matter how close one may be. 1t
shows the minutest detail, farthest
perspective and the most positive
definition of the whole picture.
Each performance will consist of
three full length films and an il
Illustrated song, interspersed with mu-
sic furnished by the orchestra.

FLIGHTS OF AMBITION,

When l was young 1 hoped to be
a pirate on the deep blue sea. I'd
sail long, low, rakish craft where
in fierce men like demons laughed,
and overhaul the ships of Spain and
hide my wealth upon the main. And
later longings filled my breast to
slaughter red men in the west;
hoped to roam the forest aisles, and
and leave my victims there in piles,
and to be called from sea to sea,
The Bad Man of the Rickaree.'
These visions passed, and l became
ambitious of the fighters fame. The
great John l.. had conquered all; l
hoped his wreath would some day
fall upon my brow, and there
remain, while bruisers scrapped for
it in vain. l used to lie awake at
night and see myself absorbed in
light, my foeman always left the
ring a. battered, bruised and bleed
ing thing, while I, uninjured, stood
and bowed, and beamed upon the
frantic crowd. Such dreams are
gone, and now my hopes are not for
blood or prize ring ropes. l think
I'll hump myself this year and try
to be an auctioneer. - Elk.

DANDY, POLICE Mas
COT, GOES TO HAPPY
HUNTING GROUNDS
HE TACKLES OPPONENT TOO
LARGE AND RECEIVED
FATAL INJURIES,

Poor Dandy is dead. The ever
faithful dog that has made himself
an attache of the Whitefish police
force for the past few years passed
in his checks a week ago and is
now in the happy hunting ground.
One thing that can be said is that
he did not die the death of a dog.
He died with his boots on.
A week ago Wednesday he decid-
ed to take a vacation from his du-
ties of helping Officer Green keep
things straight at night, and hiked
off to the country for a little recre-
alton. He put up for the night at
one of the logging camps a few
miles south of town where he be-
came engaged in a combat royal
with the dog at the camp who would
not stand for any intruders. Dandy
was always ready for a scrap in his
younger days, no matter what the
size of his opponent, and it was very
seldom that he came away with any
serious injury. But Dandy was sew
en- years old and in the decline of
life. He was not as young as he
used to be and this time the
opponent was too many times
his size and a bite in the
back broke his spine. The cook
upon finding out that it was Dandy
thai was injured, gathered him up
in blanket and cared for him ten
derby the whole night, but in the
morning he was found to have
passed away.
Dandy would never have captured
a prize in beauty show. He did
not have any pedigree that anyone
knew Of. He was classed just as
common cur. He was sulky and
cross to everyone except a police
man. He loved the man who wore
the star and carried the club. No
matter who he was, just so it was
policeman, Dandy would follow
him to the end of time, and never
was dog more faithful He orig
inally belonged to VIM. Parent and
followed him around as long as he
was on the force After that Dandy
was on the force steady. Next he
followed Tiny" Brooks around for
a long term, then Mohon, and Da-
Wis and last of all Green, who sin
cerely mourns the loss of his COM
panion.

CLUB G[EAN|HGS.
OF THE SECRE-
TARY, JOTTED DOWN
DURING SPARE MO-
AENTS,

A few books have been added to
the club library that will be of in
terest to the railroad men. For
instance there is Modern Air Brake
practice, It's Use and Abuse" 1t
tells about the New York air brake
equipment that is in use on this
road. If any of the boys want to
brush up on this subject once in
while they will find this an excel
lent book. 1t is complete with
charts. Then there is the "New
York Air Brake Instruction Book"
which contains the whole works in
nut shell. 1t is also very in
structive. There is book on ma
chinery also: Swingleton's Mod
ern Locomotive" This is a COM
plete treatise on everything pertain
ing to a locomotive. 1t is equally
as valuable to those engaged in the
mechanical department as to an
engineer or fireman. Another book
tells about the new Westinghouse E.
I. equipment, which will be of inter
est to railroad men. A number of
more books have been promised,
and as soon as the house commit
tee gets something to put them in
there will be quite a library.

TWIN CITY PAPERS
EXPLOITING MONTANA

The big daily papers in the
Twin Cities, the St. Paul Dispatch
and the Minneapolis Journal, are
devoting great deal of space
towards exploiting the resources of
the treasure state. The Dispatch
last SUNDAY devoted a whole page of
editorial matter descriptive of the
opportunities to be found in this
last and greatest west. The Chicago
papers are also taking up the
slogan, which will result in thous-
ands of settlers coming here with
the opening of spring.
