Rino Stink

a considerable misrepresentation
exists in the matter of measuring a
ring on a guage; We would say the
edge OF the ring should come as far as
the mark while some contend that
the mark on the stick should come
inside the ring. This is not right.
because any ring properly made is
OF the same size at the center as it
Is az the edges. and the ring stick is
made tapering. so that when the edge
of the ring is pushed up as far as il
viii go. the center Of the ring will
necessarily stand off from the stick.
IN a narrow ring this would make
little difference. but in q wide ring
1t amounts to something.

charged with breaking. entering ana
larceny at the cottage of DR.. G. Earle
Richardson Of Skowhegan at Sibley
pond in Canaan, plead not guilty at
a hearing Monday afternoon in

was placed at $500 which was not
obtained and the respondent was
lodged in the county Jail.
Many articles were missed from
the cottage by DR.. Richardson. Peo-
pie living near the cottage saw
Jackson go toward the cottage car
rying nothing and a little later saw
him returning carrying a pack.

political situation, had hoped for
more favorable results, at least for q
good portion Of the Republican state
and county ticket, but it appears that
the Democratic tidal wave which has
swept over the entire country, some
what wrecked Republican hopes ana
ambitions, even in this little "neck OF
the woods"
The Republican party throughout
the county was apparently well or
gained and thoroughly disciplined
for the contest-the work of the cen
trail committee having been more sys-
tematic and thorough than ever be-
fore in the history Of the county.
The various candidates also for cOun
ty and legislative offices made a sys-
tematic, earnest, and pretty thorough
canvass Of the county, doing excel
lent work for themselves individually
as well as for the entire ticket, so
that no blame can be attached or any
adverse criticism be laid anywhere.
The result shows that the Republicans
held their vantage ground in the three
city precincts, comprising fully one
half the votes Of the county, securing
therein just about the average Re-
publican majority the executive COM
mittee had carefully estimated it
would be. But the serious DETECTION
from the Republican ranks occurred
in the rural precincts, where it ap-
pears that the farmers and farm
hands were to a certain extent moved
by that unusual and somewhat unac-
cOuntable impulse which has swept
like a political avalanche, both the
eastern and northwestern states inc
the Democratic vortex. But the de-
cisiOn has been made, and the conse-
quences, whatever they may be, must
be c~heerfully acquiesced In or en-.
dured, as the case may be, for the
next two years. "There is no USE
in crying over spilled milk" We art
simply in the sOup-Democratic SOU
at that. The Republicans fought
) good fight and fell with their face
to the foe.

A Serious Accident

On Tuesday forenoon, as Mr.. F..
Edmunds, an aged pioneer resident Of
Bozeman, was clearing off the snow
from a shed he slipped and fell heav-
lily to the ground, which resulted in
so severely fracturing one Of his legs
that the bones prOtruded through the
skin. DR.. Safely, who was immedi-
ately called, found it necessary to cut
away portions Of the spintered bones
in reducing the fracture, but the pa
tient bore up under the painful oper-
alton with remarkable fortitude. Mr..
Edmunds is pretty well advanced in
life, being over 80 years Of age, so
that his recovery will be necessarily
slow and tedious, if, indeed, he long
survives the serious injury.

betOkens plenty Of gameness and a

Preliminaries Good
The preliminaries were above the
usual run, being fast and full of ac-
ton. Everett Horner, college athlete,
punished "Puggy" Warner so severe
ly in three rounds that the latter
walked to his opponents corner and
offered his hand as a token Of good
will in his defeat. The bout was
scheduled for four rounds. WarwoOd
and Kaiser went after each other
hammer and tOngs, and maintained
the dizzy pace for four cantOs. Their
willingness to work pleased the fans
immensely, and the draw decision was
popular. That they have more respect
fOu each other now was evidenced
when they shook hands heartily al
the end Of the go.

BOzeman's Friends in the Capital
Contest

OOM@<9@
The result Of the vote for the cap
ital is remarkably creditable to BOze-
man, as showing what a campaign Of
education, with a meritOriOus candi-
date, may accomplish even against
corruption, fraud and barefaced brib-
cry, such as was resOrted to by some
Of our competitors. BOzeman's CAPT
tai fund was so limited that the COM
mittee would have found it difficult
to have paid the necessary printing
and postage bills, let alone the actual
travelling expenses Of such speakers
and workers as were everywhere de-
manded, had not Mr.. Nelson Story
generously come forward with the
necessary "sinews of war;" He not
only contributed literally towards the
legitimate expenses but waded per-
sonally into the thickest of the fight,
thus subjecting himself to the poison
ed arrows and cowardly calumny of
Helena's bOodler's and her subsidized
newspapers in the Yellowstone cOun-
try. But Mr.. Story knew the old cor
rupt ROSTERS and had the satisfaction
of beating them on their own dung
hill.
Bozeman will ever feel grateful to
those citizens of Park, Yellowstone
Custer, Dawson, Fergus and Meaghel
counties, who by their votes demon
strated that they could neither be IN
fluenced by subsidized newspapers
nor swerved from the right by either
Helena or Anaconda Doodle. Bozema1

REPUBLICANS CARRY THE
STATE

It is now pretty we'll ascertained
that Richards, BOtkin, and the entire
Republican ticket, with the possible
exception of Judge Blake and AttOr-
ney General Haskell, have carried the
state by respectable pluralities. This,
with the state legislature almost as
suredly Republican, is a splendid local
victory and will measurably modify
the disappointment felt over the de-
feat of the Republican national tick
ct. Montana hereafter can safely be
placed in the Republican column, as it
will be many years, probably, before
we shall be confronted with such a
complication of peculiar political is
sues as have been crowded upon us
during the recent campaign-that is,
if the POpulists and the Prohibition
lists know when they have got enough.

Return of Capital Campaigners

Nelson Story, Esq, and Colonel c..
G. Bradshaw returned from their CAP
ital campaign tour Tuesday evening
just in time to vote. They did mag
nificent work in the Yellowstone
country In the interests of BOzeman,
for which our citizens feel under a
debt of gratitude they can hardly ex-
pect to pay. They were nObly sup
ported also by Colonel Chisholm, Hon
Charles P. Rlakeley, General L. S.
Wilson, J. w. Ponsford, and others,
whose efficient, self-sacrificing ser
vices will not soon be forgotten by
the permanent residents of our city
and county. The heavy vote cast in
the Yellowstone and other counties of
the state, in favor Of BOzeman fol-
the capital, must be largely attributed
to the ability and interchangeable eff
forts of the gentlemen mentioned in
carrying out the splendid campaign
formulated by the capital commit
tee and so perfectly executed under
the vigilant and untiring supervision
of its chairman, Hon. Walter Cooper

speed, but as yet this has not gone
beyond the gossip stage. Carlson Of
Livingston, if put up against a good
opponent, would undoubtedly be a fine
drawing card. Efforts are being
made to pick a suitable antagonist
for Bozarth, whose demonstrated
prOwess in the squared circle has
given him an enhanced reputation

Gratifying Success Of a BOzeman Bog

Gratifying Success of a BOzeman Boy
We are gratified to notice by a
San Francisco paper that Ed Latter
ty, formerly of BOzeman, and well
known throughout Montana as a care
full and remarkably successful man
ager and driver of bloOded horses, is
on the highway, apparently, to fame
and fortune. He created quite a
sensation at the San Joaquin Valley
association meeting recently by driv-
ing W. Wood, a four-year-old PAGER,
by Steinway out of Ramona, on the
k~ite-shaped mile track in the mar
velous time of 2:O7, measuring the
last half Of the distance in the un-
p~recedented time Of 1902. This is a
recOrd-breaker, and places both Mr.,
Lafferty and the noble steed promi-
nently before millions who are inter
ested in the American turf.

Boyd Of the lakewood Park stock
farm. He was offered for sale wher
