Ginger,
I looked in newspaper archives (is a pay site that has old newspapers) it didn’t have any papers for dates you need.
Ginger,
I would contact the Yellowstone Genealogy Help line and request copies of these Billings newspapers.

Names on the Face of Montana:
Young’s Point (Stillwater) was a landing point for the boats that came up the Yellowstone River. Alonzo Young, who ran a boat landing here, was appointed postmaster when the office opened in 1878. In 1882 the office moved to Park City, on the railroad.
Park City - Small town, Train Station and Post Office located on Yellowstone River and NPR 23 miles southwest of Billings. It began in June 1882 when a colony from Ripon and other nearby communities in Wisconsin came to Yellowstone Valley and invested in property at the head of Clark’s Fork Bottom, and started the town. Building of the town continued without interruption. The town site was platted all at once, but not filed until September 4, 1882, by E. P. Searles. In August 1882 they were successful in getting a post office named Park City. Alonzo Young, postmaster of Young’s Point stage route stop a few miles east of the new town, received notice on August 4, 1882 that the postal stop and name was changed, and the stage route redeployed from his place to Park City. He was requested to relocate to Park City to conduct business. Alonzo did. An irrigation canal was added, but the town didn’t flourish, since it was too close to Billings. The town was named in honor of Herman Clark.
Alonzo Young (Young’s Point – Park City)
Date of arrival not noted, but identified by the other pioneers as being after McGirl and before Cochran. He established trading post three miles east of Park City. He relocated west and founded Park City. Homesteading land records were not available.
Maybe this Alonzo Young is part of the Young family you are looking for,
Hope this helps your search,
Cathee
