The fine was promptly paid. Clare Drake and Chas. Dunlap have opened a Gent’s Furnishing store in the City Drug Store building. They, now have on hand a fine class of neckwear, underwear, hats,. fine boots and shoes which they propose to sell at very low figures. The young men are to be com mended for tlier enterprise and- foresight in establishing a business so long de manded by the young men of the neigh borhood and so Jong denied. See their, ad in another column. The motion for a new’ trial in the Bris tol case agued yesterday before the court on a bilhof exceptions, presented by the defendant’s attorneys, Bair and Sulgrove, was denied by the court this’ morning on the following grounds. 1st. No legal reason appears why a new trial should be granted. 2nd. There is nothing before the court giving a legal reason for a new trial. 3rd. The bill of exceptions filed in support of motion for a new trial is in sufficient. The matter now goes to the supreme court. > The case of the state against James Parker for cattle stealing came up for trial in >the district court Wednesday morning, and cases on like charges against Ninian Edmundsoa and Geo. Peppard ^ will follow as Boon as the court can hear them.-- _______ The slightest flurry in regard to sohool matters, caused by school district No. 2 listing a number of children on' the reservation in their school census, is now in a fair way to be adjusted. Miss Bean has ordered, that a'new census be taken in that district. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Kennedy enter tained a party of friends at cards Thurs day evening. A very enjoyable time was had, and, after doing justice to an excep tionally fine spread, the guests took their departure, voting the host and hostess fine entertainers. George Peppard was brought before Judge Beaupre last Monday, on a charge of stealing cattle, the property of the Con Kohrs Cattle company. The hearing was set for ’Thursday last, but the district court being in session, County Attorney Erickson thought it was well to file infor mation direct and proceed at once in the district court - The measles are now epidemic in Cho- teau, and all over the berg eases indicat ing febrile symptoms are making their •{appearance day by day. The cases men- Jdoned, heretofore are now convalescing ' t^d will soon be able to appsar upon the ft rests in their usually hilarious and glee- ptf style as heretofore. No serious results from this epidemic .have as yet been re ported; , ______________ The Dupuyer stage driver met with a new'experience'last Friday «morning. He had heretofore never hauled' a Bean either expressager or as a passenger. So on this particular moraipg such was his freight and of the Montana grown variety. At Spring creek the stage refused to work, in fact protested against such a load and made a breake.' Tho mail was left on the bridge around which Miss Florence preambulated for the next two hours while the driver hied himself back to town: for another Yhicle. Dupuyer was finaljyj’pached. op,schedule..time or later. • . . . , r Prof. 11. D. Langbome, wlip is working hard to instruot tho. boys-how to blow, says he is now« preparing a lengthy pro* gram to'spring^ the.public, in the shape of “A'Band^Concert,” on February 22d, WashifagtoD’s ^birthday, 1 consisting of Southern plantation songs, sentimental songs and dances, etc., interspersed with instrumental 'music by Choteau Brass Band, for whose benefit the concert will be given. It will take place m the Town Hall, and as all know where that is it wjll be unnecessary to request the public to ’ attend, as everyone will be noar the ticket office at the first toot of the horn, and, with a 50-cent piece in his or her hand, as > the caso may be, exclaim—“Give me a ’.ticket!” “Papa, hear.the big boy blow !” W. H. Lehr, who runs the butcher shop and grocery, house, came very near hav ing a conflagration. The hook that holds the large lamp in the front room cameout, dropping the lamp on the floor. The oil ran over the floor, and.at .once ignited, producing quite a blaze and causing quite an excitement around that- establishment until Mr. Smith came with a pail of wa ter and extinguished thefire.- About the only damage to be recorded is that Mr. Lehr received a slight burn on his right hand. CREAM B A K I N G p w m MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Fre« from Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant 4 0 YEARS THE STANDARD. Some of “ the boys,” a few evenings since in speaking of the French class, now training in the French vocabulary in Cho teau, got Mr. Peter Joyce worked up to a somewhat excited and enthusiastic de gree, when he declared, in no uncertain tone : “If Choteau can furnish scholars for a French class, I cannot understand why I might not also be able to raise a class to train in the Gaelic tongue.” A oard from Prof. Joyce to the public wiil probably appear shortly, when time and place will be designated. Train in the Gaelic, boys! The Ladies’ Industrial society met Wednesday afternoon at Mrs. B. E. Ham mond’s, a large number of ladies being present. After transacting the usual rou tine business, thelndieB discussed at some length the matter of having a spelling school. It was decided to have an old- fashioned 'spelling “bee.” next Monday evening, at the Town, Hall. After the “spell,” refreshments will be served. Ad mission 25 cents. The following gentle men were present, and helped to augment the society’s exchequer, and incidentally to lessen the Bupply of good things pre pared for the refeshment of those present: Judge Smith and Attorneys McIntyre and Long, of Kalispell; Attorneys Bair, Erick son and Sulgrove, of Choteau; Dr. Beau pre, Kev. LogaD, Kev. Kufus, and citizens Moore, JB. Corson and Hammond. Tliese meetings of the society are held every two weeks, and are a source of much so cial pleasure, as well ns a great benefit to the church. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Kelly’s. A Painful Accident. As the manager of T he M ontanian is at present laid up with a broken limb, and consequently must entrust, for the time being, almost exclusively, the’write up and compilation of bis paper mto the hands of others, if anything distasteful to any patron of this paper should acci dently creep into these columns, it is to be booed that be or she will be gracious enough to overlook it under the present circumstances, wherein his absence wholly and entirely unavoidable. is Purely Personal. Thomas E. Long, county attorney of Flathead county, is in attendance on the district court here this week. E. Pratte Wilkinson passed through town this week with a small bunch of the Flowerree “ dogies,” on his way to the home ranch. . X . K. Stout, count stenographer, is suf fering with a severe attack of tonsihtis. D. F . Smith, Judge of Eleventh judicial district; Thomas D . Long, county attor ney of Flathead county, and X . K. Stout, court stenographer, who arrived in town laat Sunday, are in attendance on'the' dis trict conrt. Don Dayenport, the genial, life insnr- ance man, is sojourning in town during conrt. Harry Lund, stock inspector, is ih town. Jno. J. Evans who was tried for burg lary at the last term of conrt at which time the jury disagreed, has been ordered released from qustody on his own recog- Mr. S. M. Corson, the editor and pub lisher of T he M ontanian , met with quite a severe and painful accident late in the afternoon on Sunday last. ■ He had been iu the office the most of the afternoon, but had .gone to bis home for supper, Having immediate use for his Faber, how ever, he, as has been his usual custom during this beautiful weather, the roads of course, being in fine condition for wheeling, got astraddle of his bicycle anc. started hurriedly to the office. After se curing his pencil he again quickly mount ed his cycle and started for his home, increasing the speed of his wheel to a won derful momentum ns he sped down the street toward hiB home. When about midway between the office and his house, the seat, in some unaccountable way, be came detached from his bicycle and drop ped off on the ground, the velocity of the wheel at this critical moment making his predicament extremely precarious. He must, of course, alight, for he could not longer stay with the wheel, and save him self, if possible, from serious injury; and light he d id ; and it proved, to him, a sad, yes, a very sad leap, for when he struck the ground, he broke both bones of his left leg, about three or four inches above the ankle joint, the end of the broken limb striking the gronnd with great force, making quite an indenture in the hard and frozen earth. Parties over a hun dred yards distant, distinctly heard the report when the limb snapped. Mr. Cor son, however, folly realizing his situation, of course, more particularly owing to the pang it instantly sent to his brain,naturally enough reclined himself at fall length upon the ground and awaited assistance, whioh was near at hand, to help him' to his house. About this time Dr.'Drake,- ,who was not a great ways off, came hur riedly to the Beene and gave directions to the bystanders to go at once to the Beau pre house and secure a cot so that he could be removed to bis house without causing him any further distress than was possible under the then existing circum stances. Having secured a cot in a few moments, he was placed upon it and forth* with conveyed to his \residence. \Before v nizance. F. D. Smith,\ postal route \inspector came in from the north.lastevening. • He .^e^’ reiic^?d the bouse,,Mr. Corsoq’a little children, imagining, of course, that some thing dreadful had t/ikeD.' place, and not knowing,- at least some o f them, what was the matter, werd* frenzied’ with grie^'ancf Could be berfrd bewailing and bemoaning aloud the! sad .condition of their father. In a few moments aftetteaching tho house, { however, everyone became calm and paci- j iied, at least to a certain extent, and Dr. Drake at once proceeded to set the broken limb.,. .Ye scribe called to see bim several hours afterwards, and although appar- ! ently resting very calm and easy, he slept but very little, if any, up to Wednesday night, when ho slept quite sound, siuce which time he looks much better and is more cheerful aud talkative. With every! thing favorable, Mr. Corson may be able to get to the office on crutches in about two or threo weeks. For the present the moral, which is very suggestive, will bo omitted. opeiK nero pu was called ro .examine dha route .from, here to Blackpool with a view of better ing the, service. F. G. Arnett, of Great Fnlls, is in town! W. K. Flowerree, of Lowery, is attend ing court this week. ’ ' ' E. B. Largent, deputy int -nal rovenuo' collector, is in town. Judge Smith Monday., JMV.
