The alarm originated from the upsetting of a gasoline stove in the shop of Jacob Librowicz, but that gentleman extin- guished the flames, by aid of a small hose and hydrant, before the company arrived. Great Falls Leader: W. Meade Fletcher has decided to leave Great Falls and locate permanently at Chatta- nooga, Tenn. Mr. Fletcher, who has been practicing law here for the past two years, has established a very hand some practice in this city, and was only induced to leave by the fact that the climate does not agree with him and this induced hitn to accept a most flat- tering legal opening which has been of- fered him in Chattanooga. He will leave here for his southern home net t Set urday or a unday. The telegraphic reports of the Cat bett Mitchell prize tight continue to fill the newspaper columue, and to the disgust of people who are in favor of square and manly sports. The latest reports are that Cooke City offers a75,000 in gold bullion, and Helena a90,000 in range cat- tle, to have tbe tight occur there. There are better men, as men, sawing wood and hauling coal in Fort Benton than Corbett or Mitchell ever aspired to be, and the eternal fitness of things sug- gests that if the two prize ring ftauds bad their proportionate rank in life, they would now be cracking rock on the Jacksonville chain gang. From Monday's Daily. Mrs. Wilhite died at the hospital on Saturday, and was buried yesterday. lair the past 4S hours the temperature has been rather steady between zero and 14' below. Mrs. H. W.

Johnson, and niece, Mies May Hill, left today for Helena, where they will visit for some time. Omar G. V. Gregg, editor of the Ha- vre Advertiser, is in Fort Benton for a couple of days. From his conversation it would seem there is a slight friction along certain lines in the busy town at the junction. Parties in from Havre today inform us of the death of a brakeman named Mc- Guire, who was run over by the cars at a point about a mile east of Havre. It is supposed he fell from the train. When found, McGuire was cut complete- ly in two above the abdomen. A s iitht robbery occurred at the store of T. C. Power & Bro., Srinday night. The burglar effected an entrance by breaking the Riese in one of the doors; but his efforts to get ieta toe till were fruitleee, and the small change therein, about Xl.75, was untouched.

C. J. Fenty, of Choteau, is at present reflecting upon his actions of the past few days and considering his chances of securing free board at Deer Lodge. Last Saturday Mr. Fenty drove eight head of fine steers to Great Falls, and of- fered them to the butchers for $25 each. The butchers sent for Inspector Sam Heron, who was in Great Falls, and the investigations of the latter resulted in the arrest of Peaty, to answer to a charge of stealing cattle. In the bunch of cattle offered by Fenty were two bear- ing the brand of J. D. Hogan, two of Geo. Quil, and one each of Jim Adams, F. Truchot and Sam Ford. The remain- ing steer had a double triangle brand and belongs in the Northwest Territory. From Tuesday's Daily. A marriage license was issued today to A. J.

Ar- rangements will be made to hold a dance on the evening of Feb. 5th, which prom- ises to be one of the best ever held in Fort Benton, and to which all persons are invited. A Great Falls item of Monday has the following: The leading social event of Fort Benton the past week was a mas- querade ball, which occurred on Friday evening. Professor Pettingill, of Great Falls, furnished the music, and be de- clares that Bentonites sustained their well known reputation for hospitality by entertaining the guests in a right royal manner. The bid of the Gillette-Heezog Mfg. Co., for the construction of the bridge across West fork of Milk river, at Chi- nook, was $1,797, while that of Vennum & Mahan was $1,473, or $324 less. The first named bid was for a steel and wood combination bridge, while the latter was to be a wooden bridge; and the commis- sioners, in considering the plans and specifications, concluded that the com- bination bridge would be much the cheaper bridge in the end, even at the figures named. A Night of Fun. Dancers and other invited guests to the number of about 230 attended the fancy dress ball and masquerade given by the Delphic Social club, in Green's ball, Friday evening; and for a pleasant, unique and generally uproarious good time, the like was never before seen in Fort Benton. The dancing floor was a trifle to greatly filled for comfort, but all present enjoyed themselves, and every imaginable character was repre- sented. Grover Cleveland and Queen Lil. were there, Lil. of course playing the top hand. Then there was Romeo, Juliet, the goddess of night, bootblacks, plan- tat on melodists, pages, Spanish girls, Gros Ventre bucks, and scores of others. The unmasking showed an unusual number of surprises and created roar after roar if laughter. While many of the costumes were both elegant and beautiful, the verdict for the best cos- tume was generally granted to N. A uthier, who represented a court page of the fifteenth century. A score of ladies also bad most bewitching cos - tomes, which were a credit to the in- genuity of the makers. The music was not the least enjoyable part of the evening's entertainment, and was led by N. F. Pettengill, a splendid violinist from Great Falls. Dancing contined until 3 a. tn., wi en the last lingering dancers departed, and all with congratulations upon tee success of the OM:ninon. points Were in F.

A oopy 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. HE 15 NOW A BENEDICT. Charley Lepley Joins the Married Ranks In Vermont. On Saturday. Jan. 13, 1894, Charles Lepley, of Fort Benton, was united in marriage to Miss May Tisdale, at the residence of the bride's parents, in East Middlebury, Vermont. The ceremony was performed at 10 a. in., Rev. S. B. Blunt, rector of the Episcopal church of Middlebury, officiating. Immediately after the ceremony was performed, Mr. and Mrs. Lepley left for Boston and a tour of New England. It is their intention to then snend a few days in East Midd)ebury, and return via Washington City, Niagara, and Chi- cago, visiting for some time at Mr. Lep- ley'a old home in Hopkinton, Iowa, and the cards announce, "At home, after March 1st, Fort Benton, Mont." Ches. Lepley is too well known in Fort Benton to require any words of en- dorsement. He came here a few years since to take charge at the large inter- ests of his uncle, John Lepley, one of the leading cattle kings of northern Montana, and no man was ever truer to the interests of his employer. During that time, Chas. Lepley has won the esteem of all who know him, and by economy and prudent business methods, has himself become a cattle owner of prominence. His bride is not an absolute stranger in Montana, but visited in the spring of 1893 with friends in White Sulphur Springs, where she and Mr. Lepley be- came acquainted. The happy couple will occupy Mr. Lepley's pleasant home in the Big Sag, at the foot of the High- woods, where they wili receive the con- gratulations which will be extended by their many friends. OUT OF LUCK A Helena Boy. Well Rowan in Benton, Breaks a Leg. Helena Independent. Arthur A. Pelletier, stenographer for Hon. T. C. Power, met with a driving occident yesterday afternoon which resulted in the fracture of both bones of the lower part of the left leg. Pelle- tier was coming up town in the light wagon of August Weiserhorn, driven by William Frank. When above Sixth avenue a car going up and a wagon com- ing in the opposite direction caused Frank to whip up the horse in order to get clear of the other two vehicles. The wagon the two were in struck the other wagon, frightening Frank's horse so that it got beyond control. The horse dashed up Main street. Pelletier jumped from the wagon and struck the pavement with some force, breaking the two bones in the lower left leg. Ile was carried into Dr. Salvail's office and the fracture reduced, after which Pelletier was taken to his home. Policeman Quinten stopped the runaway horse. Murphy-McIntyre. - --- A quiet little wedding occurred in the Episcopal church in Fort Benton, yes- terday, the parties united being Thomas W. Murphy and Miss Laura S. McIn- tyre, Rev. H. E. Clowes officiating. Mr. Murphy is strictly a Montanian, having been a resident of this state all his ljfe; is a young lawyer of Fort Benton, and is well known throughout northern Mon- tana. His bride is a very accomplished lady; a fluent linguist, and an artist of rare ability. She has been a resident of Fort Benton for several months past. After the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Mur- phy repaired to the Grand Union hotel, where they have taken rooms and will reside for the present. The best wishes of their friends accompany them. Frozen to Death. Last evening Coroner Houser received a telegram from Sidney. stating that the section men bad found a man, frozen to death, at a point about eight miles west of Fort Benton. The coroner dis- patched W. O. Dexter to bring in the body, and the dead man was found to be a person known he as John Moriarty. A few weeks ago Moriarty was brought up here from Havre and placed in St. Clare hospital. On Tuesday he was discharged, cured, and later re- ceived some money from a brother in Butte. All day Sunday he was about town drinking, and the last seen of him was about 10 o'clock Monday. At that time the temperature was down to zero, and fell gradually fulfil it was 26 0 below this morning. It is supposed that in his drunken condition he wandered out to Eight -mile springs, where he perished from exposure. A Cook Book Free. in German or Scandinavian will be rent if desired.

Baker, a letter carrier, and Miss Nellie Geary were married Monday night by Justice Woodman. Before the same Justice on Tuesday is complaint was sworn out by Miss Lottie Stevens ctarging Baker with unlawful cohabita Hon. Mies Stevens came here rem Minneapolis last fall. She met Baker in November, and shortly after this, she claims, he induced her to go and live with him. They lived together, she says, at various places in this city, and he was in her room the night before his wedding. Baker was arrested on Tues- day night and Postmaster Cleweil weet I his bail. Miss Stevens is but 16 years' old, and looks much younger. HAPPENING,. AT H %VIM. The Fight Regarding the Eligibility of the Mayor Is still Gil HAVRE, January 19 -City Marshal Pratt was arrested for disturbing the peace on the 18.6 inst.. us a result of the contention that the mayor, who ap- pointed Pratt, and some of the council who confirmed him, were net eligible to office when elected, and it is understood that this is to be made a test case. A little row arose in Peckover's saloon be- tween two refractory customers, and Marshal Pratt went in to maintain the peace. While Pratt was leading one of the parties away, Constable Gorman, who was present, took Pratt by the arm and asked where he was taking the man. Pratt replied in rafter forcible language that it was none of Gortnan's business. Gorman swore out a warrant on Pratt before Justice McIntyre, and got another person to serve it. The trial is set for Saturday, when some fun is anticipated. A meeting of a number of saloon men was held a few days ago to resist the paying of the license imposed, the ob- jecting persons claiming tbat some of the parties who passed the ordinance were no eligible. Yesterday better judgment prevailed, and nearly all paid their licenses. Montana Garrison No. 113, of the reg- ular Army and Navy Union was duly organized last night by Commander Punket, of Fort Aaainniboiue. The city council has rented the log building on the corner of First street and Third avenue, and the same will be used as jail and police magistrate's of- fice. Carpenters are now at work mak- ing cells in the building. Delegates to San Francisco. HELENA, January 21. -Governor Rick- ards has appointed the following dele gates to represent Montana at the Trans - Mississippi congress, which meets in San Francisco Feb. 3, next: E. D. Weed, Martin Maginnis, Thomas G. Merrill and C. D. Curtis of Helena; Alex Metzel, Puller Springs; J. M. John- son, Hamilton; II. J. Mock, Kalispel; J. S. Thompson, Livingstut.; John E. Lloyd, Butte; J. R McKay, Miles City. Mexico. This neighbor of ours on the south takes its name from a group of Ameri- can tribes calling themselves "Mexica," or "Aztecs," who settled in the lake re gion in the center of the country, and about 1325 built their capital on the site occupied by the present City of Mexico. Humboldt was of the opinion that the Aztecs were of Mongolian des cent, and that they arrived in America at a time when the Aleutian islands were above water as a -chain of moun- tains connecting Asia with our cente- nent. No country of the South will prove more interesting for a winter tour than .Mexico. The many remains of architecture from the Aztec age inter- estingly show some thing of the civiliza- tion attained by a people whose laws, religion, arts and skill in building aston- ished the Spanish conquerors of the six- teenth century. Its modern history, too, a succession of revolutions since 1811, affords an attractive field for the student. The customs and dress of the people, the strange fruits and flowers, and the perpetual spring of the climate unite to make Mexico an ideal winter resort. The reeideot of the Northwest going to Mexico should be sure that his ticket from Mioneapolis or St. Paul to St. Louis or Kansas City, the gateways by which to reach this foreign land, is over the Burlington.

Among the Malays football has been In existeuce from time immemorial, but it is with them essesitially a game, as, for instance, battledoor and shuttle- cock is with us, and it is not a contest. The football is rather smaller than that used at Eton and is niade of wicker work. Those who juin in the game ar- range themselves in a wide circle and kick the ball from one to another with the inside, or, at times, with the fiat of the foot. The object of the players is to keep the ball passing about without its ever touching the ground or the hand of any one. Great dexterity is shown in this performance, and the ball is usually kicked to a very respectable height. There seems to be no penalty exacted from a player who may kick the ball badly or fail to kick it at all. We had our own game of football, and the Dutchmen, assisted by two members of our team, scored two goals to our four. During the game the na- tives collected in still gloater numbers. and at its tertnination they begged us to allow them to have a game among themselves. Ti) this we assented, and two of us acted as captains of the sides, numbering about 80 players apiece, most of whom stripped to the "sarung,•' and wrapped it round their loins, leav- ing the rest of their bodies bare. The ball was started, and then fol- lowed one id' the most extraordinary games of football that has ever been seen. The game soon ceased to be a game at all and became a veritable bat- tle. As when a sort of lusty shephlrds try Their force 1tt football, care of victory Makes them salute so rudely, breast to breast. That their encounter seenled too rough for :est. Hands. arms and even teeth, were used on all aides, blood flowed freely, and scattered about the field were soon to be seen the wounded, 1 might almost say, the slain. As some fell exhausted to the ground they were removed, and their places in the fray were taken by others, who rushed forth eagerly from the crowd of spectators. Shouts of victory and groans of de- feat rent the air, and at length things became so serious that the two captains were obliged to seize' upon the ball and bolt with it to the pavilion. The game thus came to an end, and the players withdrew to their homes, with the ex- cited crowd following at their heels. This must have been regarded as a red letter day by the native community of Medan, and the visit of the "Orange Puteh" (Englishmen) will be remem- bered among them for some time to come. We received a hint next morn- ing from the authorities that the natives must not be allowed to take part in our games.-Fortuightly Review. To Benefit Barmaids. A movement is on foot in England, fostered by a group of noble ladies in- terested in the subject, to protect bar- maids as to their hours of labor. It is estimated that there are 120.000 young women in London in licensed houses who work from 15 to 18 hours a day on weekdays and from seven to nine hours on Sundays, with one Sunday off in each mouth. Surely when so much is said about an eight hour day for men these young women ought not to be for- gotten. They find a haven of rest an their brief intervals of leisure at the Morley rooms, established by the late Mr. Samuel Morley and now under the superintendence of Miss U. M. (-lough. Here barmaids out of work can stay, paying a very small sum for board and lodging. But the social part of the work is the most valuable. Barmaids are brought into contact with ladies of education and refinement. The rooms are used for reading, writing, music, conversation, rest and advice, and books are lent from an excellent library. - London Truth. Butler Took the Case. "I had a important law case on," said a Wakefield gentleman. ''I knew no one could win that case for me but Ben Butler. He was in Washington at the time. I went to Washington, and after hard scrabbling tor two days got an audience with him. He said he wouldn't take my case for $1,000 a day. He had more work on his lands now than be could attend to, and he went about his work right then. " 'General,' 1 said, 'I was born in the same town with you.' He grunted, but wasn't otherwise affected that I could see. " Do you remember little Miss--? And you remember the boy who used to send notes to her, and the boy who used to take them? I am the boy who took the notes.' " 'And lam the boy who sent them,' said the general. He held out his hand, '1 guess ill take your case, after all,' he said, and he did and won it." -Bos- ton Globe. Dream Warning of Death. There is a family well known in lit- erary circles in New York of which one member, an old lady, has had 12 or 13 repetitions of a dream that she was car- rying a child a long and'wearydistance up hills and ever rough paths. When- ever the dream occurs, some member of the family dies shortly afterward. It is not connected with previous knowl- edge of ill health, for in one of these in- stences the death has been that of a per- son supposed to be perfectly healthy, sit- ting at his study table at work, and car- ried off quickly by a stroke of apoplexy. The last instance of this dream was just before the death of a well known news- paper man in this city last winter. - Chicago Post. The Latest In Adverthsements.

Alittle row arose in Peckover's saloon be-tween two refractory customers, andMarshal Pratt went in to maintain thepeace. While Pratt was leading one ofthe parties away, Constable Gorman,who was present, took Pratt by thearm and asked where he was taking theman. Pratt replied in rafter forciblelanguage that it was none of Gortnan'sbusiness. Gorman swore out a warranton Pratt before Justice McIntyre, andgot another person to serve it. Thetrial is set for Saturday, when some funis anticipated.A meeting of a number of saloon men

was held a few days ago to resist thepaying of the license imposed, the ob-jecting persons claiming tbat some ofthe parties who passed the ordinancewere no eligible. Yesterday betterjudgment prevailed, and nearly all paidtheir licenses.Montana Garrison No. 113, of the reg-

Mexico.

This neighbor of ours on the southtakes its name from a group of Ameri-can tribes calling themselves "Mexica,"or "Aztecs," who settled in the lake region in the center of the country, andabout 1325 built their capital on thesite occupied by the present City ofMexico. Humboldt was of the opinionthat the Aztecs were of Mongolian descent, and that they arrived in Americaat a time when the Aleutian islandswere above water as a -chain of moun-tains connecting Asia with our cente-nent. No country of the South willprove more interesting for a winter tourthan .Mexico. The many remains ofarchitecture from the Aztec age inter-estingly show some thing of the civiliza-tion attained by a people whose laws,religion, arts and skill in building aston-ished the Spanish conquerors of the six-teenth century. Its modern history,too, a succession of revolutions since1811, affords an attractive field for thestudent. The customs and dress of thepeople, the strange fruits and flowers,and the perpetual spring of the climateunite to make Mexico an ideal winterresort. The reeideot of the Northwestgoing to Mexico should be sure that histicket from Mioneapolis or St. Paul toSt. Louis or Kansas City, the gatewaysby which to reach this foreign land, isover the Burlington.

FOOTBaLL IN MALAY:

A Game That Might Give Our owe Playersa Few Pointers.

Among the Malays football has beenIn existeuce from time immemorial,but it is with them essesitially a game,as, for instance, battledoor and shuttle-cock is with us, and it is not a contest.The football is rather smaller than thatused at Eton and is niade of wickerwork. Those who juin in the game ar-range themselves in a wide circle andkick the ball from one to another withthe inside, or, at times, with the fiat ofthe foot. The object of the players isto keep the ball passing about withoutits ever touching the ground or the handof any one. Great dexterity is shownin this performance, and the ball isusually kicked to a very respectableheight. There seems to be no penaltyexacted from a player who may kick theball badly or fail to kick it at all.We had our own game of football,

and the Dutchmen, assisted by twomembers of our team, scored two goalsto our four. During the game the na-tives collected in still gloater numbers.and at its tertnination they begged usto allow them to have a game amongthemselves. Ti) this we assented, andtwo of us acted as captains of the sides,numbering about 80 players apiece,most of whom stripped to the "sarung,•'and wrapped it round their loins, leav-ing the rest of their bodies bare.The ball was started, and then fol-

lowed one id' the most extraordinarygames of football that has ever beenseen. The game soon ceased to be agame at all and became a veritable bat-tle.As when a sort of lusty shephlrds tryTheir force 1tt football, care of victoryMakes them salute so rudely, breast to breast.That their encounter seenled too rough for :est.

Hands. arms and even teeth, wereused on all aides, blood flowed freely,and scattered about the field were soonto be seen the wounded, 1 might almostsay, the slain. As some fell exhaustedto the ground they were removed, andtheir places in the fray were taken byothers, who rushed forth eagerly fromthe crowd of spectators.Shouts of victory and groans of de-

feat rent the air, and at length thingsbecame so serious that the two captainswere obliged to seize' upon the ball andbolt with it to the pavilion. The gamethus came to an end, and the playerswithdrew to their homes, with the ex-cited crowd following at their heels.This must have been regarded as a redletter day by the native community ofMedan, and the visit of the "OrangePuteh" (Englishmen) will be remem-bered among them for some time tocome. We received a hint next morn-ing from the authorities that the nativesmust not be allowed to take part in ourgames.-Fortuightly Review.

To Benefit Barmaids.

A movement is on foot in England,fostered by a group of noble ladies in-terested in the subject, to protect bar-maids as to their hours of labor. It isestimated that there are 120.000 youngwomen in London in licensed houseswho work from 15 to 18 hours a day onweekdays and from seven to nine hourson Sundays, with one Sunday off ineach mouth. Surely when so much issaid about an eight hour day for menthese young women ought not to be for-gotten. They find a haven of rest antheir brief intervals of leisure at theMorley rooms, established by the lateMr. Samuel Morley and now under thesuperintendence of Miss U. M. (-lough.Here barmaids out of work can stay,paying a very small sum for board andlodging. But the social part of thework is the most valuable. Barmaidsare brought into contact with ladies ofeducation and refinement. The roomsare used for reading, writing, music,conversation, rest and advice, and booksare lent from an excellent library.-London Truth.

Butler Took the Case."I had a important law case on,"

said a Wakefield gentleman. ''I knewno one could win that case for me butBen Butler. He was in Washington atthe time. I went to Washington, andafter hard scrabbling tor two days gotan audience with him. He said hewouldn't take my case for $1,000 a day.He had more work on his lands nowthan be could attend to, and he wentabout his work right then." 'General,' 1 said, 'I was born in thesame town with you.'

He grunted, but wasn't otherwiseaffected that I could see." • Do you remember little Miss--?

And you remember the boy who used tosend notes to her, and the boy who usedto take them? I am the boy who tookthe notes.'" 'And lam the boy who sent them,'

said the general. He held out his hand,'1 guess ill take your case, after all,'he said, and he did and won it."-Bos-ton Globe.

Dream Warning of Death.There is a family well known in lit-

erary circles in New York of which onemember, an old lady, has had 12 or 13repetitions of a dream that she was car-rying a child a long and'wearydistanceup hills and ever rough paths. When-ever the dream occurs, some member ofthe family dies shortly afterward. Itis not connected with previous knowl-edge of ill health, for in one of these in-stences the death has been that of a per-son supposed to be perfectly healthy, sit-ting at his study table at work, and car-ried off quickly by a stroke of apoplexy.The last instance of this dream was justbefore the death of a well known news-paper man in this city last winter.-Chicago Post.
