Horace Brewster, a well known
cow boy, is in Lewistown this week.
Horace was employed on the Flat
willow range i'm 'S6-'SS, but has not
been i'm this section since that time.
In the interval he has beer i'm the en-
ploy of C. j. Mcnamara, the Miner
company, Con Kohrs and Others IN
the range north of the Missouri, but
has returned to look after G. r. Nor
ris' interests on this range. He says
Con Kohrs has closed out his band
of 700 horses at 81 each. Mr.. Brew
ster has married since he left this Sec
ton.
The organization of another cleo
trio light company and the INSTALL
ing of n plant in Lewistown is being
agitated by several gentlemen who
are able to carry the plan into execu-
ton and give the public satisfactory
service il they should decide to pro-
coed. Although Lewistown already
has one plant, the service is so poor
that citizens are becoming aroused,
stores are so poorly lighted but be-
aust reading by the light Is work
ing such injury to the eyes. For a
month past many houses have fire.
quently had to light lamps i'm addi-
ton to the electrics and at Culver's
hall Saturday night it was noted
several gentlemen lighted matches
i'm order to read the programs, which
was a dangerous proceeding, when
the hall was SO crowded With the
magnificent water power and price
being paid there is no excuse for such
a service as during the past month
and it is little wonder that the public
are dissatisfied.
Probably the largest audience
which ever assembled i'm Culver's
hall was that in attendance upon
the school entertainment Saturday
evening. The tableaux Cinderella
had been prepared by Misses CLANCY
and DeBord and the costumes and
pf .ra Saffinoc xx-ara n.,n1 tho affect
however, being injured by the light
which was not thrown to the bes
advantage. Probably the best num-
beers on the program were the sing
ing of Montana" a prize song by
Miss S. Mackey, supported by four
other young girls, and Fairy Moon
light by the same quintet. The
drills by the younger children dis
played long training on the part Of
the teachers and good results,
though the maneuvres were possibly
too prolonged. A farce by Walter
Lehman and Johnnie Campbell, re-
lieved h program considerably.
Other numbers were also good and
no doubt would have been better
had the teachers undertaken the prep
aration of a shorter program. The
receipts were about $175 and as
the expenses did not exceed $25, at
least $50 will have been realized for
the purchase of new books for the
library, and pupils and parents
should be sincerely grateful to the
teachers for their efforts.
