Old Bill Hamilton. Mr. A. C. Blum, of Emporium, Pa., writes as below regarding old Bill Hamilton, a Western character who may be called well known, but not known as well as he should be, in view j of his past eventful life, j "For the last two or three years I have closely scanned the pages of ; Forest and Stream, and whenever old j timers were mentioned have looked for Bill Hamilton's name, wondering whether the old fellow were alive. Finally, I have been more than reward ed by seeing his name in the issue of Fob. 10, as living in a cabin on the Yellowstone under an American flag. It must certainly feel queer to Bill to [ live under a roof, he who always had a tepee for a home. But the Yellowstone Valley is a fitting place for him. He certainly is one of the original settlers of that region, for he traveled up and down this sulphurous stream long be fore the Botteler brothers established their range near the Bozeman Pass, and they were the first settlers of the Yellowstone Valley, excepting Bill Brown, John Dunn and a few more boys, who used to 'grub stake' at Emi grant Gulch every winter. After them, Friedel, who kept a billiard room in Bozeman, took up a range on the Yel lowstone, and I think this was in 1870, about the same time that Hugh Kirken dall's teamsters were killed by the In dians on the Yellowstone. Of course, every one who was in Montana in the early sixties remembers Hugh Kirkon dall's mule outfit and Ca.pt. Wall and , Broadhead's Diamond R. bull train. "However, I am getting away from my subject, thinking of the old days, when there were neither railroads nor fences nor Yellowstone Park guards; where, in fact, the lake, the falls and geysers were known to but few. "I think the last time I met Bill Hamilton was near the head of Clark's ( Fork, where ho had pitched his tepee and was living a happy life, and 1 did not think I should ever hear from him twenty years afterward, for this happened during the so-called Clark's Fork stampede, when we camped near one of the richest silver mines, and did 1 not know it, as we were looking for placer mining and not for quartz. "Will you kindly let me know whether thi3 is the same Bill Hamilton? The boys used to say he was a relation to the "Dook" of the same name. English he certainly was. A typical mountaineer of the old school and a squaw man. I think his squaw, or at J least one of them, was a Piegan. His territory was between Fort Benton and the upper Yellowstone." There is no doubt in tho world that the old Bill Hamilton mentioned from ! time to time in the Forest amd Stream ! is no other than Mr. Blum's friend, and j it is a good reflection that the paper I has served so pleasant an office as i bringing together two friends of the | real old times At last accounts old > Bill was living still at Columbus or Stillwater, as it was formerly called, ; righi on the banks of one of the most | historic streams on earth— the Yellow- ' t-tone River.—-Forest and Stream. .—. ~ • Pleasant Visit. Last Thursday evening District Dep- > uty Grand Master E. \V. Gaskill, ac companied by Past Grands C. Jay Goodnough, Geo. Metzger, Jr., and 11. • H. Mullin, visited Driftwood Odd Fel lows for the purpose of installing the officers. Tliey were greatly surprised and royally entertained, finding the fraternity located in ono of the best furnished lodge rooms in this section of | the State. The report shows that the ! lodge is rapidly forging to the front ] and will soon be the strongest in the j i county. After tho work had been com- j pleterl an elegant banquet was spread j and a jolly good time was tho result, i The Driftwoodites know how to enter- i tain their friends and always do it i right. Tho largest display of ready-made I clothing and furnishing goods at N. I Segcr'p. I A SUNDAY BLAZE. Dr. R. P. Heilman's Residence Al most Ruined. Last Sunday morning about 11:30, while a heavy wind was blowing from the west, Dr. R. P. Heilman's residence was discovered to be on fire, flames suddenly bursting through the roof, when the alarm was sounded. The Hamilton and Mountaineer Hose Com panies and Hook and Ladder Com pany promptly responded and after a desperate fight subdued the flames, not however until the roof and second floor was completely gutted. Most of the furniture was removed, but in a damaged condition. The Dr. and family were attending M E. Church at the time, leaving Miss Kautz in charge of the house, who was busily attending to her work. When discovered the entire attic was in flames and soon spread to the rooms in the rear of the house. The origin of the fire is a mystery there being no fire in that part of the house. Miss Elvia Whiting, who was board ing with Dr. Heilman, lost part of her clothing, while Miss Kautz lost her en tire wardrobe, saving only the clothes on her back—her room being com pletely envelloped in flames when the fire was discovered. Our efficient fire department worked with their usual vigor, realizing that with the high wind blowing, other property was in danger. The work of our fire laddies was complimented by strangers who witnessed their work. Dr. Heilman's loss on residence and furniture is estimated at §2,700 upon which he carried an insurance of §2,000. Invitation Party. Invitations are being printed in the PHKSS job room for an invitation party at the opera house, Friday evening, April 27th The music will bo furnish ed by Ridgway Theatre Orchestra, which will give a concert from 8:30 to 9:30. The party promises to be a pleas ant affair. Another Handsome Residence. Mr. E. G. Coleman, secretary of Climax Powder Company, who recent ly purchased of the W. C. Clarkeestate the old homestead, on west Fourth street, has sold the dwelling to Harvey Welsh, who will move the same to Fifth street and remodel it for a resi dence. Mr. Coleman will erect a modern residence upon the lot as soon as possible. Bold Bruin. Last Thursday morning about five o'clock, a large black bear ventured into town and boldly walked down Chestnut street as far as Henry Edg combs residence. J. T. Healy, en gineer at Howard's mill, noticed the tracts in the fresh enow as he came down the hill going to his work. The bold and hungry animal returned to the mountain in safety. Fred Yentzer says "that was too bad; tlie boys miss ed some fun." Masonic Home at Wiiliarusport. William Howard, the wealthy Wil | liaxnsport lumberman, has about closed j a deal for the purchase of the Piper I property, in the rear of the Masonic I Temple. lie proposes to remodel the ! residence into a home foraged Masons and to build an addition to the Masonic Temple for the use of the Scottish Rite Masons. When all improvements have been completed he will deliver a deed of gift to the Masonic fraternity. The property is opposite the proposed site of the free library to be built, equipped i and endowed by J. V. Brown. I Stricken With Paralysis. Yesterday afternoon, H. R. Dodge, j more commonly called "Bert," was ! stricken with paralysis while walking l up Cherry street. Ha was assisted to j Taggart's drug store and Dr. Smith I called. His entire right side is effected, i He rallied sufficiently to bo taken to | his home on Four Mile. It is the opin ion of theDr that he will recover. We 1 sincerely hope 80.

The Republicans of Cameron county in convention assembled send greeting to our brothers in Pennsylvania, and point with pride to the great prosper ity enjoyed by the citizens of this great and grand old Commonwealth. Let us all labor, not only for the further advancement of our varied industries, but for the utter demolishment of strife and discord in our great party family, thereby presenting a solid front to the enemy. We heartily indorse the ad mirable administration of President William McKinley; it is particularly distinguished in the history of national administrations. During his term pub lic creuit iii- been restored; prosperity has followed and our commerce has grown to a degree never before known. The magnificent achievements of our forces on land and sea for the liberation of the down-trodden and oppressed accomplished under the masterly guid ance of l is administration are subjects for the greatest congratulation by a convention of Cameron county Repub licans. We recommend to the Republicans of our county, State and Nation the re nomination of President McKinley, which, we believe, wouid result in a sweeping Republican victory and in spire the whole people with confidence for the perpetuation of his splendid policy and insure for them greater tilings for the future. We commend the wise, economic and pariotic policy of the present Executive of our State, Governor William A.Stone, and bespeak for iiis administration, which has the confidence of the people of this State, a condition of prosperity and advancement that has never been excelled during the term of office of any Governor of this Commonwealth.
