was only after considerable research that
it was determined whether she was a
Roman and acquainted with Livius, Cic-
ero and Virgil. The author demonstrates
her legal origin. and for the benefit OF
groundlings declines the word according
to the first declension.
Sydney Edgerton was the first governor
OF Montana territory, appointed June %,
1864, and at that time was supreme JUS
tice Of Idaho territory 1t was largely
through his influence that Idaho territory
was divided and Montana territory or
ganized. Governor Edgerton hoisted the
American flag over his cabin at Bannack
and this was Montana's first capitol
The first legislative assembly convened
at Bannack the capital Dec. II, 1864,
and adjourned Feb 8. 1865. There were
seven members of the council and 13
members of the house. This legislature
located the capital at Virginia City. Feb.
a. 1865. The capital was first named
Varina in honor of Jefferson Davis wife
but was soon after changed TO Virginia
City. DR.. G. G. Bisse was the first man
who wrote 1t Virginia. The territorial
offices were in two-story stone building
plastered on the outside and the legisla-
ture met In frame building on the
opposite side Of the street. This was the
second capital. Virginia City continued
TO be the capital until August, 1874,
when 1t was decided by popular vote to
remove the capital from Virginia City
to Helena. Edgerton, Green, Clay. Ash
ley, Smith. Potts, Crosby. Carpenter, Les
lie and White were the territorial gov
ernors Of Montana and the territory was
admitted as a state Nov. 8. 1889. The
first legislature convened on Nov %,
1889. Joseph x. Toole, John E. Rick

caught the bride in his hand and very
foolishly leaped upon the horse bare
backed. One could conceive nothing
quicker, nor more thunderously powerful,
than the force with which that broncho
delivered his heels on the instant. He
seemed, in fact. to have poised himself
upon his forward parts. and work his
launches as Independently as the work

hardy attache, of course, measured his
length in an instant upon the prairie,

bleeding He called for his pistols, the
moment he regained his feet. and WOULD
have undoubtedly shot the horse on the
spot had not his friends intervened.
"Why shoot?" said Ho-Ta-Ma dryly

Thereupon the Indian took from be

handled with great ceremony, and
spreading his blanket upon the ground
commenced talking to the mace with un-
intelligible jargon. He then proceeded
to wind around the center Of it lone

had paused with his muttering, without
looking to the one side or the other, he
advanced toward the horse.

zie and attaches of the past were very
desirous OF seeing Ho-Ta-Ma try the eff
fects OF his Indian mysticism on him.
The horse in question was a powerful,
sinewy brute Of the most irreclaimable
vicious character. Repeated attempts had
been made to break him to the saddle.
but the horsemen in almost every in
stance had received such severe falls that
the attaches Of the post were forbidden
to make any further experiments with
him. Men at the fort explained that the
horse was blind in one eye and 1t was
his favorite trick to induce some ambi-
tious young recruit to mount him on
the blind side. He would always permit
himself to be thus backed, but on the
instant the rider felt himself fairly seat
ed he was dashed upon the prairie.
One June morning band of Bloods,
far from their native haunts, signalled
their presence and desire to trade. After
the commotion attendant upon the bar
ter for peltries and the baubles offered
by white traders, this redoubtable
broncho, who by the way. seemed to be
caught without any remarkable difficulty
was led forward to be submitted to the
subduing influence of Ho-Ta- Ma who
was a member OF the Blood camp. The
Indian walked carelessly around him,
ious expression of countenance-some-
thing between contempt and admiration
What use?" he said. Him too old to
teach gait-bad-no good-no how-can
put hand in hole in him foreheadl Nc

With these words he turned away, and
no remonstrance or coaxing could induce
him to mount the horse.

Among the Blackfeet, in the early

96 NEW ARRIVALS
BROUGHT HERE
THRU WORK OF
LOCAL CLUB

From October /, 1897 to July
81, 1928 The Nogales Wonder
land Club has, achieved the
gratifying success indicated by
the following imposing figures:
The total number of inquiries
received, 1854; the great major
ty of these were naturally from
the United States but letters come
from every corner of the globe.
AS a direct result of these in
auiries there has been 90 new ar
rivals in Nogales. Dividing the
cost of maintaining the Wonder
land Club by 96 gives an average
cost of bringing one person to
Nogales of $144. With two more
months in which to expect results
from the last campaign it is very
probable that the cost will be re-
duced to 800 per person. A
very careful check has shown that
these arrivals have spent over
$4,000 in this community.

Snake Hunt To Be

Nogales is to have snake hunt.
Said hunt is to be staged at the
home of Alex N. Karam, 513
Crawford street, where a large
rattlesnake, described as being of
tremendous size", and about 12
years of age, is making it's home
under the floor of the Karam
house.
Mr.. Karam intends to ask per-
mission of his landlord to cut a
hole in the floor of the residence
and if this is granted he feels
certain he can hire a man to go
down under and capture the snake
for $40.
If this cannot be done it is the
intention of Karam to set a tran
outside the house, place small
chicken in the trap, and capture
the reptile alive.
A number of servants at the
Karam home state they have seer
the snake and according to their
description it is of a size thai
