Among them were Misses Gordon, Wallenstein, Dolph, Marseau: Messrs. Smeltzer, Kauf and Scott. was . received here Thursday by our genial. post master that his son, W. E. Litton, Jr., had been married in Butte to Was -Tuna Walsch. The cou- ple will reside in. the latter city, which has been the home of Mr. Litton for many years. _ Probably Larry Reilly, ritadallbuper . - visas...for the Wickes district, has never seen an Italian sunset, but that he has seen a dago is amply proven, by the number of peddlers hailing from the land of sunshine gathered in for road tax/.during the week. Dick Welch left Wickes. Wednesday eveniugt for Helena. From there he started. on an extended tour through the east, and will land in. Dallas in - time to see the Corbett-Fitisimmons mill pulled off. After the fight he will travel exiensively in Mexico, returning home late in the fall. 4 4. A. Arnet, N. P. agent at Hart- ford, and John H. Hareis, special cor- respondent of the Independent from the saute places were visitors to our burgh on Sunday last. Mr. Arnet was hirmerly station agent at this place, and spent the day very pleasantly re- newing - old acquaintances. A party composed of Theodore Frey- ler, Everett Nale, Miss Mable Gordon and Miss Josie Freyler, chaperoned by Mrs. Wm. Hickey, left here Sunday afternoon for Rawhide gulch to spend a few days berry picking. They ar- rived home Wednesday much pleased with the success of their outing. If the Salvation Army should lose their leader there is plenty of material to draw on in Wickes. The amount of drummers that strike this town in a week is siomething wonderful, and as they generally flock to the places that are cloying the moat business, then Dailey & Terry are - to be congratu- lated. At the hospital there is upthing new to report. Several outside ca.sem have been treated and several patients dim- rharged. Those now remaiuing un- der the charge of Dr. Bullard are rap- idly recoveriug, and the majority will be at work shortly. There are no serious accidents reverted front the stones. 1.1 , ..•••• to last for six week*. In Helena the party was joined by Mrs. Church, who will do the park with them. The tour- ists are a jolly crowd, and will un- doubtedly have good time, returning home the latter part of September with enough anecdotes to last ij.LI wt An atteMpt was made , TuvsdAY morning . at Basin by Jane tiend to destroy the life and property of Mar- tin Buckley, foreman of the Hope mine. At one o'clock on the morning of the 13th a terrific explosioa oc- curred: which shoOk the town to its very foundatioo, and on investigation it was found that the whole side of the building ,stupied by Mr. Buckley had been blowin out by giant powdec hav- ing been exploded minder it. , There were a kozen persons asleep in the house at the time of the explosion, but all escaped without injury. No clue bad to the perpetrator of the das- tardly deed, thongh :!)500 is offered for his.apprehertsion. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nixon, assisted by their daughter, Mrs. Wilcox, enter - tai tied a few of their friends at a bigh tea on Tuesday, last. Among - those present were Mesdames Gordon. Hilde- brand. Simmons, Warwick a/A Miss Ethel,Scott. A very tempting repast was tastfully served at 5:30. Choice flowers decorated the table, and all viands were amply enjoyed. Exquisite buttonholes in white ribbon were placed for each guest, and the tea passed off as merrily as a marriage bell. The evening was spent in games and conversation, principally on the coming concert which takes place in I. 0. 0. F. hall on the 20th. A surprise party was given at the residence of Mrs. Wickersham. Corbin, on Wednesday es . -ening - in honor of the 30th birthd4. of that lady. About couples attended. Dancing was in- dulged in until a late hour. when re- freshmesdv , svere served. In was a jolly assemblage, and iyll enjoyed themselves immensely. Mr. aud Mrs. Jake Terry, Mr. and Mrs. Will Dailey. Miss Terry and Mrs. J. E. Terry left Wickes Saturday even- ing for kawhide gulch on a berrying trip, returning - home Sanday evening with about four gallons of berries, a few colds fram camping out and won- derful stories to relate. Altogether it ss as a splendid outing and if the berry se:111011 was not nearing its close we venture to remark that they would be out inure than ono) this year. A horse hitched to the delivery wagon ot Bach, Cory et Co. had the toothache lVednesalay, and the, driver attempted to do a little dentistry by hitchinf,ra ring on the trreast strap to the offending molar. The horse was brought to his knees and then rolled over a pphrently iq the last In at, Ind ill, tooth still held its oexim. At this stat:e of the game the horse was miltitched from the wagon, )1 . 1 - 0,e to Ins feet and slowly' walked away ., Whet her the tooth was stepped from, aghiag we were ttuable to deter- mine. E. R. Dea ii .1 WI uvi ft. Jas. Wkite told wife asul N. S. t and. wife left here Sot.tdav for the at ional park. The party Waswell' surplied with vrapAms. saddle heieses, fire Arms. Frank Liscoe. John Kinney. John Riley. Luther Williams. Glenn Kemp- sey, John Hogan and Oscar 'Johnson returned Monday from a four week's trip to the Yellowstone park. They report themselves as having had an excellent time: The hunting and fish- ing is exceptionally good this season and consequently drawsla larger crowd than ever before. They say the park in filled with touris4s, most of whom are travelling in private conveyances, though the railroads are also doing a rushing business. To gain an idea of the wonders unfoldec1 to their admir- ing - eyes, sit down for a few minutes and listen, to, the boys talk. ' The following school boy's composi- tion on \The Eititor - is about the most charming portra:Aal we. have seen of the joys of an editor's e„xistence: \The edi- tor is one of the happiest individuals in the world. He can, go to any drew; in the afternoon or evening without pay- ing , a penny, also to inquests and hang- ings. He has free tickets to theators, gets wedding cake sent to him, and. sometimes gets a licking,but not often. for he can take things back in the next issue, which he generally does. - While other folks have to go to bed early, the editor can sit ur late every night and see all that is going on. When I am a man I mean to be an editor so that I may stay out at night. That will be jolly.\ Willie. the three year old son of Jake Sc:larf. received quite a severe burn about the neck and shoulders on Wednesday afternoon. He and his brother, Radford, were playing in the street with lighted roils of paper, in imitation of cigarettes, when fire fell on the dress of the little one and blazed up fiercely. But for the presence of • mind ;If Radford. who neat the flames out, Willie would probab1 v have been burned to death. n . The ee and shoul- tiers are a mass obliaters, \ nd causes the child much pain, but he vitil be en- tirely recovered in a week or te4-days. Since writing the above, we learn fienn Dr. Bollard. who was called in to at- tend the child. that he burns were much more serious than at first antic- ipated, and'that it will require long and careful nursing to insure his et: - tire recovery. ' Spring ia generally the time when housecleaning - and repairing is the order of the -day. and for a visitor to drop tab., town about this time he think that Wickes enjoys perpetual spring. In strolling around the Silver city a few days ago we were struck with the amount of improvements being made.
