From the Daily Herald of August 26 Guests Whom Helena Delights to Greet. Col. George P. Bissell, wife and daugh ter, the HERALD is glad to know, are guests so well pleased with Helena that their stay in the city has been extended from a sin gle day to several. Col. Bissell is one of Hartford's most wealthy and influential citizens—a broad ganged gentleman of affairs, whose ripened judgment has been enlightened by extensive travel, and whose knowledge of peoples and countries has been amplified by personal investigation and contact. His home is a city in which is centered an enormous aggregation of capi tal, estimated, we believe, at not less than $400,000,000, and very considerable por tions of this vast sum are every year seek ing avenues of safe and profitable invest ment. We are not surprised that careful inquiry and painstaking scrutiny of Helena and its surroundings should more favorably impress him than any of the numerous localities he has visited in the past months with respect to their inducements for money placing and the prospects of largely realizing profits. Abundant good often flows from researches undertaken by men of means and intelligence like Col. Bissell, to whom an opportunity like the present is offered to become acquainted with the expanding communities of the Northwest, until com paratively recent times almost entirely de pendent upon their own energies and re sources for the grand developments in mineral, municipal and other wealth toward which they are surely and swiftly tending. In a day or two the Colonel, ac companied by Mrs. and Miss Bissell— ladies whom numbers of our people have been delighted to meet—leave us for a tour in Wonderland. We indulge the expecta tion that the present will not be their last visit, and that the pleasure of greeting them again in Montana will be gratified again and again with the recurring seasons. = ana The Council and House of Repre sentatives Halls. The large court room in the court house is being fitted up with desks, carpets, chairs and fixtures for the members of the House of Representatives, and what was inten ded for the House is being fitted up for the Council. Both halls will be comfortable and elegant with plenty of light, venti lation and room enough for everybody. Our golans never deliberated in more ele gant apartments in this or any other coun try, and here, while they transact the business for the Territory, they will have the satisfaction of making laws and re pealing others while legislating with ease and dignity. The House, for evening ses sions, will be lighted by 34 jets of gas—24 of which will be suspended over the Speaker's desk and ten others will project from the base of the gallery. The Council chamber will have 27 gas jets—suspended and by projections. The gas fitting is under contract by Capt. S. T. Porter and his chief artizan, J. M. Dutton, is at work today on the intricate task of lighting up both rooms in time for Monday even ing. a Pariing Gin. The Encore Club, at their regular meet ing Tuesday night, in addition to their usual harmonious action, gave a beautiful testimonial of their regard to one of their members, who is about to leave them to take up his residence upon the call of official duty on the Pacific coast. During an interlude Mr. A.M. Thornburgh called the attention of the club to the fact that this was the last meeting that Mr. G. G. Chandler would be present, and as tnere representative he would now make the presentation of their friendly offering to the departing member. In a neat speech of a few words Mr. Thornburgh presented Mr. Chandler with an elegant scarf pin in a setting of moonstone and diamonds as a testimonial of his efficient aid as a mem ber of the club from its organization to the present time. After the presentation and the acceptance speeches, an informal recep tion was held to bid good-bye to Mr. Chan dler and wife, who were so soon to leave for the Pacific coast, The Report of His Death Unfounded. The falling of Daniel B. in yesterday's face probably gave rise to the report that he was dead, that was circulated last even ing and confirmed by the morning paper. The HeRaup telephoned to the track this morning and found out that Daniel B. was comparatively uninjured,a scratch on a hind leg being the only sign of his fall. His owner says he is far from being a dead horse and he will match him for any dis tance from five furlongs to a mile. He Mentioned in a Bunch. It is impossible, of course, for the news paper to single out and enumerate indi vidually and by name the hundreds of old timers tarrying in the capital city during the present week. The HERALp, however, desires to considered as having a con sciousness of their presence in force in our midst, and to be construed as paying one and all of them the compliment of its per sonal recognition and as having attempted, in the aggregate at least, of reporting their visit as part of the throng of notabilities our people are proud to honor. 2 Giving Away the Bride. Yesterday afternoon, at the residence of O. C. Rinker, in the valley, his daughter, Miss Madie L. Rinker, was married to Mr. Butler I. Munich, of Helena. The cere mony was performed by the Rev. T. V. Moore. Among the invited guests were Dr. Eckles and family, Mrs. Vinson and others, The Fair Hop. The young gentlemen of Helena who have on previous occasions given a Fair hop last evening had a delightful time at the Knights of Labor Hall, where they en joyed the company of the young ladies of Helena and that of a number of invited guests who are visitors in the city. The Third Infantry concert band furnished the music and many aswain and lassie were there who in their gladness exclaimed, “on with the dance ; let joy be unconfined.” There was a pleasant time and a “hoodlie companee,” which enjoyed to their fall the elegant refreshments which were served in the gallery. ‘The Helena Rod Gun Club held their last official shoot of the season this morn ing. The medal is still held by A. J. Fisk, but the score is not flattering. The Helena team must shoot better than they did to day, or the Territorial cup will pass from a possession at the tournament next we oot ETT LOLOO1ON10— 15 = LORD LOU LOTO01000— +w) LL10110000000001010— —111000101000010000011— 6 = 1OD0TLE s 1OLTLOLIOI—14 = 11012011010101001001—1L poe EDOOLOT LOL LOMO 14 ~LT1000LL1101010101—18- rr. ‘om the Daily Herald of August 7i. PERJURY AND FORGERY. Charles Storms Standing in a Dead Man’s Shoes. This morning a man by the name of Charles Storms stood before Territorial Auditor Sullivan and represented himself (making affidavit to the same) as N. Mor rison and presented certificates for bounty on prairie dogs, and asked that warrants be issued to him in the name of N. Morri son. Upon being questioned by the Audi tor, he said his name was N. Morrison, and that his partner, Storms, was killed by lightning about the first of August, and he (Morrison) was the administrator of Storms’ estate. He not only committed forgery by signing the name of Morrison to the receipt for a warrant, but also com mitted perjury in swearing that he was N. Morrison, to whom the justice’s certifi cates were issued for bounty scalps. It will be remembered that the HERALD, on the 20th inst., published an account of the death by lightning of Nehemiah Morrison, who was killed near the Dearborn about the first of August while out hunting prairie dogs. And it appears that he had a partner, whose name was not learned at the time. This dead man was this morn ing impersonated by Charles Storms, who said that he was the dead man and that he (Storms) was Morrison. Auditor Sullivan made complaint against Storms and he was arrested by George Gibbs and turned over to Sheriff Hath away and jailed. Upon the person of Storms was found $500 in cash and a bounty certificate for $39.10 in favor of Morrison. Helena Talent.
