Judge DuBose has appointed n. NJ
Erickson, David Hilger and S. S. Hob.
son to act as a board of appraisers
for Fergus county. They will meet in

February.
James Balm arrived yesterday from
Willow City, South Dakota, where he
purchased two thoroughbred stations
weighing 1870 and 1870 pounds,
one a Clydesdale and the other a
Percheron. They areimported horses
and will be taken to the Balm ranch
near Stanford.-Great Falls Leader.
W. ID. Deaton returned from the
east Wednesday last. The murderers
OF his brother have been captured at
Corinth, Miss, since Mr.. Deaton left
for the west. The sheriff expresses
himself quite severely upon the lassi-
tude OF his special deputies in the late
Gilt Edge affair. He is looking hale
and hearty after his six weeks vaca-
ton.
A citizen Of Lewistown received no
tice first OF the week that a packagehe
had been anxiously waitinl Tor was
''lodged" in the express Office at Arm
ington. The Montana Stage company
should have some business about it
and give a bond for the safe delivery
OF express in Lewistown or else quit
the road. This delay OF express mat
ter is an intolerable nuisance.
Kitty Lee was again brought before
Judge Mcfarland Tuesday for dis
turbing the peace by breaking in a
door to a house belonging to the es-
tate of John Toombs. She was fined
$50 and costs. Commitment to jail
was withheld for three days on her
promise to leave the county within
be a desirable radiance and n large
saving to the county.
Robt. Coburn, accompanied by II.
f. Thompson of the firm of Thomp-
son & Maddox, attorneys, of White
Sulphur Springs, visited Lewistown
this week. Mr.. Coburn has disposed
of nearly all his stock interests in this
county and intends moving the rem
nant of his brand across the river this
season. Mr.. Thompson seemed sur
prised to find Lewistown so large and
spoke in complimentary terms OF our
townsfolk.
The beaver glove advertised in the
ARGUS belonged to Frank Lamb OF
Philbrook. Mr.. Lamb missed the
glove while attending aparty at Utica.
In some n the glove became
concealed in the robes of a sleigh and
was shaken out on the sidewalk in
front OF ID. NJ. Crowley's stable. Mr..
Lamb saw the notice in the ARGUS
and last week regained his property.
1t pays to read the county paper and
to advertise.
The Sunset Club have decided to
give a social ball on March 9th in Cul-
ver's hall. Invitations will not be is
sued but tickets placed on sale by the
club members at 80 each. An effort
will be made to afford all present n
most enjoyable evening. A lunch sup
per will be served, which will be largely
contributed by club members and I'M
der the supervision OF theladies. The
best music obtainable will be present
on occasion. Alarge attendanceis ex-
pected and those desiring tickets may
apply to any club member.
Subscribers north and east of the
Judith range complain that they do
not receive the ARGUS from one to two
weeks after it ispublished. The ARGUS
is in the postofiice every Thursday
morning, several hours before the
Maiden coach leaves, and shouldreach
Maiden the same night. If the bundle
is changed to the Junction mail sack
it will reach Fort Maginnis early Fri
day morning without fail when the
coaches are running regularly. The
bad weather for the past two weeks
has interfered with all the stage lines,
so connections are not reliable and
has probably caused the trouble.
Charles Lehman & Co. are in receipt
of n letter from J. II. Arlington in
which he says that he would see that
all orders o. KID by him are paid in
full. He says he feels quite sure every
one will get what is due them from the
Gilt Edge company and that its affairs
will be Strengthened up before long,
The gentleman says the company is
owing him quite a little money and he
was willing to take hold and work the
property, which is a big success il
handled properly. He expects to re,
turn to Lewistown soon but at pres
ent is busy with First National bank
affairs trying to get things in shape to
reopen.
Supt. Provard OF the Spotted Horse
mine, accompanied by VIM. Brayton,
treasurer OF the company, and w. p,
Brainerd left Sunday morning foI
Great Falls with another consign.
ment OF gold bullion. Mr.. Provard
said the company was taking out
about $4,000 per month. The plant
has temporarily shut down while q
new cage and other machinery is being
placed. Mr.. Brayton goes to his Hi
nois home. Mr.. Brainerd may return
with Mr.. Provard or may 60 east, b,
feeling somewhat doubtful which way
to turn since his good fortune in dis
posing of the Kentucky Favorite lode
for $4,000.
