As It Was In Billings 45 Years Ago Today
(From Billings Gazette, Feb 22, 1886)
G.W. Thompson, late manager of the Northern Pacific Coal company arrived in 
town this morning with a number of mining experts to the Bull mountains.  Mr. 
Thompson is reported as saying the Bull mountain branch will be built sure this 
summer.  From the best information we can glean, a branch will be built either 
to the coal fields of Rock creek or the Bull mountains.  Either route would be 
of inestimable benefit to the city.
  As was generally predicted the dance given last evening, under the auspices 
of the Billings brass band was a complete success.  Eight-five couples were 
present of “fair women and brave men.”  The music furnished by Moore’s 
orchestra was excellent and the whole affair was without a drawback.  The band 
will net more than $100 out of the entertainment toward their uniform fund.
  Col. Shang Proctor left this morning for Hunters Hot Springs to avail himself 
of the boiling water, which flows with such profusion there.  A few days ago he 
overreached himself trying to reach up to the Northern Pacific water tank to 
take a drink, and consequently feels the necessity of spending a few days at 
the health resort.  As this gentleman has not had a bath since he came west of 
the Missouri 20 years ago, the consequences of his rash act may be better 
imagined than described.
  Canyon Creek had a wedding yesterday when John Guy of the Musselshell was 
married to Maggie Danford, daughter of Joseph Danford.  The ceremony took place 
at the residence of the bride’s father in the presence of a large assembly of 
friends and relatives.
  Dr. W.A. Allen was yesterday the recipient of a handsome gold medal, 
presented him by his friends and patients in Buffalo, Wyo.  The medal was sent 
to Mr. Mund, First National bank, who made an eloquent speech on behalf of the 
donors in making the presentation.
