In the same issue, three staff of the YJ and [[Johnny Carter]] of Leighton & Jordan's, on the [[Chinese New Year]], are treated to eating, drinking and making merry at the "washee man west of Leighton's store". They enjoyed imported candies, nuts, chewing gum, rice liquor and a "string of unnamable viands and luxuries". The Chinese took pride in explaining what each awful decoction and mixture was and enjoyed the impression made upon us by the taste of their" chewing gum, the taste remaining long after the names were forgotten.

28 Jul 1887 While attempting to ford Tongue river yesterday at the government crossing, a 2 horse livery rig, in which were two Chanamen, was washed downstream by the current...They jumped out of the carriage when it neared the shore on the town side and standing in water up to their necks held the horses' heads above the water until help arrived. The tugs (part that attaches to the wagon) were unfastened and the horses towed along the cut bank until a lowering in the bank allowed of their climbing up out of the water. A dozen willing hands snaked the carriage out of the rushing current and the Chinamen took care of themselves. One of the "celestials", a Bozeman merchant (possibly Hop Gee?) claims to have lost his pocketbook containing over $200 in the struggle. They would have made the ford if they had aimed right, diagonally upstream, but they allowed the horses to drift down and into deeper water on the east side against the cut bank.

Smith]] which was standing by the [[Wing Chung]] laundry, bolted and being blind in the right eye, hit the iron railing over [[James M. Sipes]]' barber shop, which gave way, and horse and vehicle tumbled into the basement. Bystanders pulled the horse out and he was found to be only a bit scratched up.
