Basin,
Special Correspondence of TIE TRIBUNE.
L]EwIsTowN, Aug. 29,-Two topics at
present engross the entire attention of
the citizens of Fergus county. The first
is the county fair, to be heldin this town
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept.
4, 5 and 6. The stables at the track are
filled with good horses and some excel
lent races are assured. One in particular
is exciting great interest. This is the
match pacing race between Benefits
unknown stallion and Crowleys Dist
ance, which was in the July races in
Great Falls. The purse is $1,000. Agri-
cultural, mechanical and household ex-
hibits, for which large premiums are
offered, are arriving and the display of
the products of the judith basin will be
more elaborate than any ever h "nre made.
The second interesting topic is the
controversy over the personnel of the
board of trustees of the Lewistown
school district. The clerk of the dis
trict, T.. q. Worden, took a census be-
tween Aug. l and Aug. 20 and reported
the population of the district at 800
County Superintendent Moulton claimed
that the clerk had returned the name of
only II parent of each chlld, and that the
population of the district was over 1000,
emitting the district to seven trustees.
He appointed Mrs. y. M. Erickson, ID.
illlger, Sam Phillips, and W. f, Hanson
additional trustees. The new a~ppointeea
qualified and attempted to sit with the
board, but Chairman Sherwood refused
to recognize them. Two trump boards
we're then organized, The county Oil
GERS recognize the new appoiuteeH and
the courts will be invoked to sottle the
controversy.
1t is alleged that the new appointeea
are opposed to the sale of $4,000 build
ing fund bonds, while the old board
favoIe the sale.
