Miles City Journal: Now that the
hanging of Biggerstaff and Gay is off
Tor month or two, the sheriff of Lew
is and Clarke county will have an op-
portunity to WOO his tuneful muse and
1ncubate a few more verses against
the second occasion. We have not the
pleasure of Sheriff Jurgens' acquaint-
ance and for all we know he may be a
very pleasant gentleman and a well
meaning Christian executor, but from
personal perusal of the evidence at
hand we are forced to set him down as
well as a misfit. We believe the
practice of issuing formal invitations
ITO hanging to be all wrong; the few
brother sheriffs who care to go for
practice and experience do not need
invitations, and these, with the coterie
that the law requires to be present
are all that should be there; but the
fashion of issuing formal printed invi-
tations to these grewsome functions
has gotten to be such a fad with the
sheriffs that 1t would probably be
deemed a crying injustice to deprive
them of this questionable privilege
But our versatile friend Jurgens en-
larged this privilege in more ways
than one. He not only sent out cards
of invitation, but had them adorned
with the photographs OF the two star
performers, so that no one in the
throng of invited guests would be put
to the embarrassing necessity of ask
ing which was which. And then TO
cap all, this disciple of the tuneful
Nine. caused to be printed on the cards

rhyme nor reason in 1t though claimed

ing progressed this far it is within the
bounds of reasonable expectation that
when the occasion does arrive for the
working off, of either Gay or Big
gerstaff, the elegiac Jurgens will re-
cite few cantoes from his favorite
poets and have an invisible choir chant
all that he cannot remember. At all
events this is what his poetical depart
ure is leading up to.

THEY RAN THE lVANHOE

Spokane Spokesman Review: One
of the best mining properties in
Okanogan county is the Ivanhoe. owned
by A. c. Cowherd. When discovered
the lode was found to be very near to
the surface and rich paying ore was
struck with only the use of a pillow and
scraper to excavate the soil that COW
cred the ledge. The rock proved TO be
of a decomposed nature and hundreds
of tons have been mined without the
aid OF powder or fuse, only a pick be-
ing used. Four years ago. when first
opened up, a carload of ore was
shipped to Denver for smelling that
Melted 1912, after paying for a wagon
haul OF 80 miles, freight and expenses
there and return. The owner was Of
fered 100000 for the claim, but asked
100000. which the parties refused TO
give.
Mr.. Cowherd. with the help of some
friends, put up a mill and other ma
chfnery at the cost of $4,000. When
the financial depression came he be-
came embarrassed and was unable TO
run the mill and work on the mine
was suspended.
During the past summer the Ivanhoe
and its owners have furnished a bit of
remarkable history that is worthy of
a place in the annals of mining i'm the
Northwest. A large amount of ore still
remained on the dump the wheels of
the mill were idle, and there were no
funds TO hire help to work the proper
~. Nothing daunted. Mr. Cowherd
and his wife, who is far from being a
robust woman, undertook. TO operate
the machinery with the help of one
man and team to deliver the ore TO the
mill. To Mrs. Cowherds lot fell the
duty of engineer and during the whole
spring and summer she has faithfully
stood at her post and has had exclu-
siVe charge of the engine. while her
husband is attending to the rest OF the
machinery.
They have been well rewarded for
their labors. having made good wages.
besides very creditable dividend on
the money invested in the property.

efforts to the entertainment of each

right, but when IL comes to the business
of doing something for the city they
had better stay at home-all but the
