George Morgan was brought in from West Butte Wednesday suffering from a gun shot wound. While his horse was in the act of jumping a badger hole, in some manner the young man's leather cuff caught the hammer of his revolver and raised it, and upon its being released it went down with force enough to ex plode the cartridge. The buliet took a downward course into the fleshy part^of the thigh and came out above the knee, making a painful, though not dangerous wound. The bullet Wt *s£found in his bout, Our usually quiet burg had a small sized sensation on Sunday. On the | arrival of No 3 the dining car conductor j reported that a dead "man was lying! alongside the track about a quarter of a 1 mile east of the station. The whole of ! the population wont to the scene, expect j ing to see the Jjmangled remains of a human being. Mr Gutli, being the first to reach the supposed stiff, took it by the arm, but found that it was very much ! alive, and roiling over remarked, "Gawd, ! boys, I am dry."

They were gone a couple of hours before they were missed and search begun for them. The little tots as soon as they got on the hill west of town took the county road and went to the river seven miles from home before they stopped. There they took a short rest and started for home and reached it in safety without being seen by any of the searchers. There was a scene at each of their homes that is easier imagined than described. None of them will go away on horseback for some time to come. The United States grand jury ret urn cd twenty six indictments, last week against persons accused of crimes'under federal l^ws.

Brown died suddenly Tues day evening, at bis home in Choteau, under circumstances that leave little doubt that it was a case of Buicide.. He sat down to supper with his fami ly and was suddenly seized with a vio lent convulsion from which he recover ed only to be seized by another, and yet another during which he died. 1I-» was sick only about 30 minutes altogether, and there is no doubt that he had taken some violent poison, in a lit of despond ency. Foreclosure proceedings had been »brought against his property in Choteau on the day of his death, and it is gener ally believed that, feeling discouraged, he committed the rash act. An autopsy will probably be held, to determine the exact cause of death. Mr. W. S. Whedon, Cashier of the First National Bank of Winterset, Iowa, in a recent letter gives some experience with a carpenter in his employ, that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: "I had a carpentei working for me who was obliged to stop work for several days on account of being troubled with diarr hoea.
