Kingsbury A-Co., tho enterpris ing Dupuyer merchants, recognize the value of tbo'Montanian and Chroniclo as an advertising medium and have con tracted with us for space for n year. It will doubtless pay our readers to read thoir advertisements and keep track of the bargains offered. Charles Thomas, mayor of Robnre, was in town a low days tho first of tho week.

Tho petition sots forth that tlie Indies of tlmt community, as well as tho young boys and girls (those tough old sinners—the meu—are not mentioned), are compelled to witness the lewd aclious of the inmates of this place almost daily, and that the bouse and its inmates aro nuisances generally.

Conliffo was “fined $100 and costs by Justice DeHaas this morniDg on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Last night Conliffe got into an altercation in front of tho Gem restau rant aDd was separated from tho other beligerants by tho sheriff. Ho was not placed under arrest at this time but was allowed his liberty after being informed that be was expected to bebave himself. This apparently did Dot suit him as bo went to his bouse and secured a six- shooter and came back up town “ looking for tho sheriff.”, ilo found him—and be cause of this fact lie is now minus bis “six-pistol,” spent the night in jail and is a little over $100 poorer than ho was yesterday. But ho is considerably ahead in experience. Tlio county commissioners aro blamed for almost everything imaginable^ and they usually stand it without complaint, put the kicks that aro being made in some quarters beenuso tho roads aro in an almost impassublo condition, should not bo dirocted against the commissioners but against the members of tiro legisla tive assembly who voted for tho Geiger road law. This law took tho manage ment of tho roads out of tho hands of the commissioners altogether, and placed it in tho bauds of the road trustees recently appointed. Until these trustees get together and do their work, tho roads will roinnin in poor condition, and tho commissioners should not bo either blamed or d ----- d for it. Resolutions of Condolenco.
