It was in 1365 that the party left Helena under the guidance of Nat W. Burrls, the | founder of old Gallatin City. The Terri- torial Legislature had authorized the es- | tablishment of a new town to be called | Ophir, at the mouth of the Marias, and it | was for this purpose the men journeyed | thither. They laid out their crude town- | site, and were making preparations to | erect a large warehouse. They were all | engaged in eutting logs in the thick tim- ber, just above tne Marias, unapprehen- | stve of danger, when a band of Indians under the command of Calf Shirt and | Mountain Chief descended upon them. Every white man was slain and not a brave bit the dust to pay for his treachery. The mosi deplorablepart of the affair ' was that, the day-after the tragedy, the families of two of the murdered men ar- | rived by boat from Weston, Mo., to make ! their homes in Montana, only to be met with the heartrending news that fathers | and husbands had been slain. The bodles of the ten men were buried near where | they fell, at the foot of a high bluff along the Missouri, on what is now J. D. Wolff's ranch. w William Lotts is looking for his | her's grave, but old timers say-his search will prove fruitless.

Hopes to Catch the Capital Delegation Either “Goin’ or Comin’” Governor’s Emissaries Are Coquet- ting With Both the Clark and the Wright Republican Factions. SN O AL Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 1.—It is believed | to be practically settled that the coming Republican State Convention will be held in this city. Although the Republican State Central Committee has not yet for- mally fixed upon the place, nevertheless all of the members of the committee who have been approached in the interest of the capital city have pronounced them- selves in favor of its tlaims and it is con- | tidently believed that the.battle ground of | the gubernatorial contest will soon be | transterred to Sacramento. There is great activity in political circles over what is deemed the certain | prospect of the convention meeting here | and the efforts toward bringing about a | settlement between the two contending | factions in the local Republican forces are being pushed with renewed vigor. As yet there has been no reconciliation between Mayor George H. Clark and Colonel J. B. Wright, who lead the differing factions, but politicians predict that an agreement | will surely be reached within two weeks | at the farthest. Upon what terms such | an understanding is to be brought about, | however, not even the wisest of those “on the inside” appear able to say. Booth-McMullen Contest. More than anything else, Clark wants | his warm personal friend and business | partner, Al P. Booth, nominated for | County Coroner. Colonel J. B. Wright, | however, 1is disposed to recognize _the | claim of the incumbent, George C. McMul- | lin, for renomination and he cannot for- | sake him without practically acknowledg- ing Clark as the dictator in the councils | of the party. It might not be thought | that there should be a split in the Repub- licnan organization of this county over | the recipient of a nomination for one | minor office, but such is nevertheless among the recognized probabilities. Governor Gage is interesting himself in the situation only to the extent of mak- through Attorney Monroe, asking that the aged Methodist minister, Rev. D. | Simonds, be declared an incompetent and ' that letters of guardianship over the per- | son and estate of Mr. Simonds be granted to Dr. Briggs. The petition set forth that Rev. Mr. Simonds is nearly 90 years of age and that he :s incapable of caring for himself or his property and that the only relative | he has in this city is a grandneice, Mrs. Dr. Edith C. Wells of 1603 Church street. Presiding Judge Carroll Cook assigned the petition to the probate department and the matter will be heard in the course of a few days | Rev. Dr. Briggs stated last evening that | Mrs. Hartwigsen, who bought the home | of Rev. Mr. Simonds at 935 Clay street, | would make 1o opposition to the petition. | As scon as Rev. Dr. Briggs is appointed | the guardian of the aged minister. the clerzy of the Methodist church purpose | making a thorough investigation as to the | manner in which the old man sold his property for §2000 and if necessary to in- oke the courts to set the deed aside.

His award of the Bank Commissionership. to Colonel J. B. Wright is deemed b){) the adminis- tration followers to have been a master stroke. That equal honors do not await | Mayor George H. Clark at the hands of | Gage is said to be due to the fact that | the genial Mayor wants nothing at pres- | ent that the Governor can give. The | Mayor has been credited with having as- pirations for the nomination for Railroad Commissioner, and he has not disclaimed the ambition. Gage Is Repairing Fences. Gage is attempting to repair his shat- tered fences in the rural districts of Northern California. He has not failed to notice that whenever the farmers or or- chardists in the upper part of the great Sacramento Valley- have talked politics at all they have, regardless of party affilla- tions, expressed their opposition to him. One of the great needs of the wheat- growing and fruit-raising sections is the completion of the Yuba dam, a few miles above Marysville, the purpose of which is | to hold back permanently the millions of | tons of mining debris which has accumu- lated in the Yuba River in the past thirty years and which now with every freshet ‘washes down into the channel of the Sac- ramento River, impairing navigation, and | spreads at times of overflows upon valua- | ble lands and blights their crops. 1 ‘When the Congressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors was here last spring | | to see whether it should recommend that | Congress give $150,000 toward the' dam, | Governor Gage did not concern himself enough about_the interests of the farm- eps and orchardists to accompany the Congressmen on the river trip, nor did he | take the trouble to acknowledge the invi- | tation sent him by the Chamber of Com- merce to do so. On Thursday of this week the people of Marysville were | dumfounded by the arrival there of a | party of special emissaries of the admin- istration, including Daniel Kevane, secre- tary of the State Bouri of Examiners; Dr. W. P. Mathews, secretary of thc | State Board of Health; W. W. Wag- State Debris Commissioner, and oner, Sr. W. J. Hanna, an employe of the State Board of Health. As there was no epidemic in Marysville, either present or prospective, the townsfolk were at a loss to know what was the occasion for the visitation and the Gage missionuries vol- unteered no explanation to the general ublic. A reporter suggested to Dr. athews that he may. have come to Marysville to feel the public pulse, but the doctor failed to see the point of the remark. Senator W. M. Cutter, another faithful Gage adherent, joined the party, and all took carriages for Smartsville, - Kevane Does the Explaining. Daniel Kevane was most affable, if the others were reticent. He took pains to say through the newspapers that the State would expedite matters all it could toward paying its share for constructing the Yuba dam, and that the reason the administration hadn’t adted before was that it didn’t have the chance. Whether this eleventh hour exhibition of concern for the welfare of the up-river people will _soften their pronounced op- position to Gage remains to be seen.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, March 1.—The Pescadero stage had a narrow escape from a disas- ter yesterday, and that no lives were lost is remarkable. Twenty miles up the coast the stage travels along the beach, which, at high tide, is often covered by water. Yesterddy the ocean was higher than at any time in thirty-five years. In the center of the beach it is very rocky and rough, with water on either side. When Driver James Harvey reached this point a monster wave dashed against the stage and upturned it. For two hours the horses, Harvey and the single passenger, Willlam Steele, floundered in the cold waters of the Pa- cific. Fortunately both men were good swimmers. The horses were cut loose and found their way to dry land. Help arrived and after several hours’ work the stage was turned over. It was badly demolished. The vehicle weighed 1600 pounds and was hard to handle. The top had been broken off by the wave, the any longer from stomach, liver and bowel complaints, when Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bitters will cure you. Get a bottle to-day and be convinced.
