It is remarkable how lucky a man will
be at times. A young man, one day this

and quit.

Wandering Reds.
A Ft. Shaw dispatch says that a sergeant
in charge of Assinaboine transportation,
while on his way to Ft. Shaw, sighted a
large war party of Indians near the Big
Lake. He stated that the Indians came
within a short distance of his outfit, but,
probably thinking a party of soldiers were
at hand, turned around and rode off.
Wonder what brand he had been taking.
Racing Events.

the Montana Agricultural, Mineral and
Mechanical Association are out in a joint

Will Push It.
('ol. C. A. Broadwater, president of the
Montana Central Railroad company, came
over from Helena this morning. Surmis
ing that his visit here was caused by busi
ness relating to the Montana Central con
struction work, an ITter-Momotaini repre
sentative called at the company's head
quarters, which have been established in
room 12, in the Chambers block. Co!.
Br',,ad water w;i engaged with N. C. Ray
in lou,!ing over the maps of the railroad
from here to Helena. He accommoda
tingly accorded a few m.ments of his time
to the reporter.
"Yes," said he, "it is Montana Central
business which brings me to Butte. I came
over to advise and consult with Mr. Ray,
who is in charge of our business here.
Work will be begun on the Montana Cen
tral at'once and pushed as fast as money
can push it. Our progressuwnill depend
almost entirely on the character of the
rock in the big tunnel. That is the all
important thing. We have already begun
work at both ends of this tunnel and by
the first of June we expect to be far
enough in to determine the general char
acter of the work. If the rock proves too
obstinate we will have to put in an over
head line.
"We shall also begin work right away
on the tunnel near Butte. But the big
tunnel is the all important factor and will
regulate all the other work. We shall
also begin to break ground at once, as we
expect to have all the grading done before
the cold weather sets in again. We shall
employ a large force of meh and, as I
said before the work all along the line
will be pushed as fast as money can push
it.
"You ask me to fix a date for the com
pletion of the road between Butte and
Helena? It is hard to do that at the pres
ent time. When we are just 'sizing up'
the difficulties that lay before us in the
way of construction, it is no easy matter to
predict how long it will take us to sur
mount them. You may say, however, that
we hope to be in Butte by the first of next
May. We might be a month earlier er a
month later, but I do not think our arrival
will be outside of those limits."
Col. Broadwater stated also that the
Montana Central might go to Anaconda
as soon as the line is completed. He pos
itively denied, however, any intention on
the part of the corporation of extending
its line from the latter place to Philips
burg. The colonel's stay in Butte will be
short, and he will return to Helena in a
day or two.-Inter-Mountain.
