live in Canada. After about three
months experience he went out
with the cowboys on a roundup.
The heard being gathered they
started to drive them somewhere
and were obliged to cross a river
on their way. The river was rath-

start across, so the ex-captain
brought his military tactics into
play. leaving some of his men
on their horses he sent some others
into the brush near by, arming
them with cow-hides, sacks, etc.

We are sorry to learn from an
article in the Great Falls Leader of
Sept. 29th, of a serious accident to
our old and well known friend,
Herman F. Knoell, foreman of the
ST" outfit. He was hurt last
Wednesday near Cut Bank, by his
horse stepping in a hole and throw
ing him. He struck the ground on
his left shoulder, breaking the
bone. He was carried to Great
Fails over the Great Falls and
Canada railroad, and taken to the
Ulm House where he was placed
under the care of DR.. Gorden
Nothing more serious than a few
days lay off is anticipated.

The town meeting held at Dupu-
yer last Saturday was a convincing
proof OF the interest and confidence
felt by the people in their efforts to
locate the county seat at Dupuyer.
The meeting of the members of the
Townsite company was not held as
expected, owing to the unavoidable
absence of two of the members, but
no hesitation was felt in going
ahead and winning the race by all
honorable means.

B. r. Fowler of Pondera passed
through town Thursday on his way
home with a load of post timber.
C. r. Scoffn was in town today
on business connected with his reg
istration agency a. Ponderav.
The stockmen around here have
received returns from their cattle
shipments and seem we'll satisfied
with results.
G. B. Perkins paid US a short
visit Yesterday. Cal. is looking as
bright as ever, in spite of his de
feat at the late primary.
Mr.. P. Cosgrove left yesterday
with a pack outfit intending to
take a trip around the country in
search of the dog he lost some time
since. He has our best wishes.
A. H. MORN, Dupuyer's school
teacher, ,as rented and repaired a
vacant cabin near Dupuyer intend
ing to furnish it and enjoy solid
comfort during the winter months.
Frank Curley came In from the
new mission building at Two Medi-
cine today. The building is three
stories high, built of rock and will
be finished in about a month pro-
vided the weather holds good.
W. have been inform ed that it
will be impossible for Representa-
tive Hartman to make his appear
ance at Choteau on Oct. 9th az re-
ported. 1t is not likely that he
will be able to visit the county be.

Several of our readers have ask
ell us if the Acantha is a permanent
plant. We would say in reply,
that if it is watered and fed prop
erly by it's subscribers, we pro-
p ,se to keep it alive. Just come
up with the "needful" and we
will keep the thorns a bristling.
LINKS IN THE CHAIN.
Here are a few items for the con.
sideration of worklngmen and 9th
ers. There will be some building
done and a ditch started in an6

YOU will vote for Choteau for The
County seat. Link 1.
The Choteau people, when max
ing up their report, or rather al
estimate of votes for that place
were brought to a stand still, be-
ing obliged to wait until they coul'
g.. import some men and see how man,
votes they could control among tn
new corners Link 2.
How nice it would be to wor
from now until Nov. 9th next, an
then be discharged on the followin
day, just for the privilege of vo'
ing for Choteaa. Link 8.
From reports that we receive
the resident workmeu of Chotca

for that place may be swelled. 4.
According to the way that SON
people talk, the town that puts |
the most money for whisky shou
be the favorite. This is link 5

and debase human beings. Dup

propose to insult her citizens ar
