The ‘Snahia? Institute x was in eile _ in Boulder this week. Dunwoody and Wallace have already sacked about 75 savks of Norma ore. Immense flocks of wild geese have been flying southward during the pust week, The weather during the past week has been the most disegreeable which we have so far experienced this fall. fearful Waterloo, only oge on it pulling The republican county ticket met a through, which is a pre¥ty how-to-do, Every body will welcome the promised good times, but nobody with sense enough to dress himself will rejoice over a sham boom which consiste of half wind and half gal). The goldite whoopers must give the people somethiug tangible if they expect to win the applause of the populace.—Miner. County Attorney elect, Thos. T. Lyon, visited Boulder Wednesday last to look over the field of his future residence. The result of the election takes two of our citizens over the range. Mr. Lyon and Miss Lilian Casey. While we re gret to lose them from this end of the county, we are satisfied that they will tind Boulder a pleasant home, and that the respective offices to which they have been elected bave fallen into competent hands. Mr. Lyon will remove with his family to the county seat in a short | time. FROM THE BANKS OF THE GREAT)! OHOOPEE. A Tramp Printer From Georgia Visits Clancy on bis way South. The cold snap of the past week sept an invoice of tramps skurrying through Clancy in both directions. The Montana Central was always a favorite route with the hobos, and the lower a man has fallen | in the social scale the more certain he is at some period of his career to make the run from Helena to Butte—or from Butte to Helena. They always use Clancy as a lay-over station; a sort of a half-way house. In the genial warmth of a Montana summer the willows fringing the banks of the classic Prickly Pear at Clancy swarm with tramp “tourists.” They seem to thrive on the pure ozone of this altitude. During the “season” they can be seen here, almost any day, in platoons ; some, worn out in the tough rustle for bread, with their beads pil- lowed on a deserted ant-bill, fast asleep in “groves, through whose broken roofs the sky looks in,” enticed to that happy state of forgetfulness by the song of the Prickly Pear river which, “ babbling low, amid the tangled woods, slips down through moee- grown stones with endless laughter ; ” others washing out their one excuse for a shirt, and yet others feast ing at the camp fire on the delicacies of the land. But a Montana winter has the same effect on tramps that it does on blue- bottled flies. The average tramp is not constructed on the cold weather plan, and a pyperborean breath from the north sends him south to warmer feeding grounds. One day this week our sanctum door was swung wide open and a species of what passed for a man asked for work on the Miner, with the additional an nouncement that he was a “native from the banks of the Great Ohoopee; that he used to play marbles, when a boy, with Alexander Stephens and old Bob Toombs, and that he learned the print- ing business on the Atlanta Constitution so long ago that the MINER was a met- ropolitan newspaper in comparison with it.” We were overecome and sent him to the case. He rattled on through a long personal history concerning the great men he was intimately acquainted with, and played with names famous in history, poetry and art with a reckless- ness that was bewildering. We had about made up our mind to give the man a steady “sit,” and retain him as a citizen of Clancy, when he handed in\.his “time” and headed for the south again. We watched his form from our office window until it faded out of sight, as he ambled up the Great Northern tracks, while a quotation from Eugene Field's “ Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun,” seemed to us to aptly des- cribe the situation : “Thar showed up out ’n Denver in the spring uv ’81 A man who'd worked with Dana on the Noo York Sun. His name wuz Cantell Whoppers, ’nd he wuz a sight ter view Ez he walked inter the orfice ’nd in- quired fer work to do. Thar warn’t no places vacant then,—fer be it understood, That wuz the time when talent flour- ished at that altitood ; But thar the stranger lingered, tellin’ Raymond ’nd the rest Uv what perdigious wonders he could do when at his best, ‘Til finally he stated (quite by chance) that he had done A heap uv work with Dana on the Noo York Sun.” Monday will be pay-day in the Clancy shops and yards. - The Sheridan Paper is by all odds the handsomest country weekly in the state. County treasurer William V. Meyers was married in Boulder on Saturday November 7th, to Mrs. Rilla P. Elder. Jobn W. Pace, formerly of the Colum- bian, Columbia Falls, Montana, will take charge of the Zephyr at Whitehall. Mr. H. M. Wentworth, who founded the pa- per, will return to Spokane, Wash. There will be a turkey shoot at Alham- bra on Monday afternoon, November 23, at target, with shot guns, distance one hundred yards. It will cost 15 cents for a single shot, or if you want to take as many shots as there are turkeys offered, ten cents for each shot. Mr. A. L. Sta- pleton will be master of ceremonies. The front trucks xttached to the sleeper on the through train which assed this station Wednesday morning at about 8 o’clock, a little more than two hours late, pulled out from under the coach near Woodville, throwing it vio- lently to the ground, happily without loss of life or serious accident. When the train pulled out from Great Falls, it was known that only the stay rods held thé trucks in position, vet the coach was sent dver the road in that crippled con- dition. The only wonder is that a seri- ous accident was not the result of such | carlessness.
