U GOOD TOOLS
Why There ID No Economy In Purchasing

Why There ID No Economy In Purchasing
Inferior Implements.
In the choice of the common horse
field tools We need to exercise our best
Judgment. and ven then. if We have
not the advice of some friend who has
had experience with the particular tool.
it is than probable that we shall
be disappointed. Two years ago !
bought a horse hoe and cultivatOr. and
one year ago one of the latest improved
swivel plOws. 1.-The best ever used"
In these tools l supposed l had what
would be highly satisfactory. but l was
not a little disappointed. Remember
that testimonials are always in favor
of the maker, and the manufacturers
descriptive circular is sure to tell you
the tool is the best, cheapest and in
every way the most economical and Ia
bOr-saving invention known. In the
choice of the more complicated and ex-
pensive farm machinery, it would often
be economy to. pay q mechanical ex-
pert to select what is without fault in
construction. II machines parts are
not in proper proportion and bearing
to work in fixed mechanical laws, the
machine will not be SO durable and
will throw a serious strain on the tear.
Some of our moving machines and
horse rakes ought never to be brought
into a field.
Tools for working the soil should be
selected while considering the kind of
coil they are to be used in. Different
tools will not work equally well in all
kinds of soil. The price Of horse tools
should not have much weight with in
tending purchasers. for it is often the
case that the best can be bought ut as
low q figure As an inferior article.
Purchase good tools and give your help
all tho advantage there is in their use
and I am sure you will recognize the
economy of it.-C0r. Farm and Home

TWO Candidates for the Pen.

On Sunday night as two section men
were on their way home from town, 60
ing toward the depot, one perfectly So
Der and the other in condition of show
oome-you-so," were held up by a couple
of foot-pads, who knocked the sober man
down and robbed the drunken one of q
gold watch. Tuesday morning Marshal
Souter arrested two men named Jack
Malloy and Jerry Gordon, respectively,
and jailed them. Wednesday they, were
given q hearing before Justice McNeill.
Gordon was held in the sum OF $500, and
Malloy was granted continuance until
tomorrow. WI,
The evidence is quite strong against
the men, and the prospects are very fiat
tering for them serve term in the terri
toriaI pen. Marshal Souter is doing
commendable work in bringing criminals
to justice, and in performing this duty
he has the unqualified support of the
better element of the town OF Sturgis.

Going to the Pacific Coast.

L. d. Petit, the commission: man,
whose name is a household word through
out Dakota and Nebraska, and who ia
the royal rustler of the west, intends
leaving the Hills on Monday for the Pa
cifc coast, with the intention Of going
into business ct Newport, Oregon. BE
will take his family to Los Angeles, to
winter, while no continues his journey
northward to their new home.
The Ellis can lily afford TO lose such
a man as Mr.. Petit. There are too few
men OF his caiibre in this section OF the
country, and what few We have we de-
sire to retain. The business men of this
part OF the west hate to lose man of hia
integrity and business ability, as they
have always found him 9 thoroughly TO
liable, honorable man, one whom they
could trust and man whose word is as
good as the gold. He is safe man to
tie to, and we would say Tor tho benefit
of the citizens Of Newport and eastern
Oregon, that they viii have no better cit
izen, no squarer, thorough-going, every
day man, settle among them than L. D.
Petit.
TIE ADVERTISER joins, with the bal
ance Of Mr.. Pettits hosts of friends and
wishes him ssbon voyage" and although
parting with him regfettuliy, wish him
the abundant success to which his actions
and strict integrity entitle him.

Last Friday night Mr.. James P. Hur-
ley of Bare Butte, concluded he wanted
to ''shake his hoof'' q little, and go left
his ranch and went to attend a
dance given some distance away. When
he returned very early in the morning,
ready to go to bed, he found no bed to
go to. The fire fend, on its way to
Sturgis, undoubtedly, came along and
finding the house without an occupant
took possession, and before it left des-
troyed everything in sight. In addition
to the house and furniture, about 1875
bushels OF corn, 1000 pounds Of oats, a
set Of harness, and all Of his clothing
were destroyed. The only thing saved
was the clothes upon his back. The fire
was caused from the stove, it is thought.
According to arrangements meeting
OF the leading property owners Of stur-
gis was held Saturday evening ut the
Office of Alexander & Hoehn for the pur-
pose OF organizing a board OF trade. The
business Of moa importance was the
subject Of fire protection. After obtain
ing the views of all present committee
was appointed to look the ground over
and see what could be done in the way
of an engine, either steam or hand. Aft
or discussing the subject carefully the
meeting adjourned until Saturday night
next; when board will probably DO or
ganized and plans adopted to secure fire
protection

her under the left arm severing an artery,
from which she bled to death. DR.. Smith
was called but was unable to help her,
and she breathed her last about mid
night.
Owing to several peculiar circumstan-

A TRIANGULAR SUIT
More Claimants to Thomas
Blythe's Millions.
ONE PARTY BOBs UP IN LONDON
A (sIrl who Claims to be His IliegitimAto
Chiid--Three Parties VIII
Soon be Fighting.

New YORK, Dec. 22-A romantic story
was recently sent from Edinburg about the
discovery Of the heirs of Thomas H.
Blythe, the California Millionaire who
died in 1888. leaving property valued az
more than $4,000 900. The Ediuburg
story was given on the authority of Consul
Waling. who is taking testimony ~ kirk
Yetholm Ia the interest OF John w blytne
of Fulton, KY. aud the evidence seemed
70 bear out the theory that the California
millionaire was The defendant OF u gypsy
uirl who married aga INST the wishes Of
her parents. Ia Kirk Yetholm were found
persons who knew all about the Blythes
and Savagess from whom the California
millionairewas supposed to have sprung,
! and u strong chain Of testimony seemed to
have been found. ...
Now couies another story which appears
to as strangely establish the rights OF an.
other lot OF ciai mauts, and, should they
win, several chimncysweeps OF London
will give up their hereditary business and
become leader Of San Francisco society.
According to this new story the rich Cali
fornian originally came from London,
where his nephews. Thomas and James
Savage, and his cousin. Michael Savage,
have been engaged as chinneys weeps for
thirty years. In this story the families
of the Blythes aud Savapes are mixed up,
~ they are in the case OF the Ken.
lucky claimants. The real name Of
Thomas II. Blythe IL said
TO have been Thomas Ii. Savage.
When lad OF II he was chimneysweep
in London, but waa transported to Aus.
tralia for stealing q silver cruet.stand.
There he got ticket.of-leave and AS
sumed the name OF Blythe. which be.
longed to an aunt. From Australia he
went to California, and by some lucky
strikes amassed, the fortune in litigation.
Testimony to establish these facts has been
sent TO the probate court of San Francisco
by the Savages IN London, who, IN the
meantime. are following the chimney
sweeping business. 2
There Is still another feature of the case.
which brings 10 a third claimant. 1t is
said that Blythe went to London incognito
in 1873 and fell in with woman named
Julia Perry. This woman became the
mother OF child named Flora, Of which
che told Blythe he was the father, When
he went back to San Francisco he acknoyl.
edged Flora as his child and placed her
picture Oh his desk. He sent her money
in London. Even though she be illeviti-
mate. under the laws of California Flora
can inherit Blythe's millions IL she can
prove he is her father. But the London
SavaRes declare that julia Perry was mar
ried to man named Ashcroft and that
Flora is Ashcroft's child. Flora has taken
steps to establish her claims. and big
triangular legal fight over Blythe's mil
lions will soon be on, with Flora Blythe
ding against the London chimney.
