Two Counts A gainst Him.

Great Falls Feb. 1S.-Charies A.
Burns, the man under arrest for for
gerry at Choteau, will have two counts
against him. In addition to the check
which he passed on Mclean Bros. &
Coburn, he also worked one off on
Peter Joyce in the sum of $3.50. 1t
was signed by Lou Matheson and was
payable to John A. Hanson. Burns
had been boarding with Joyce and
owed him 81, and when Burns rendered
this check and Joyce had given him
$50 in change Joyce was very happy,
for. as he remarked at the time, he
had never expected to be able to col
lect the sum from Burns. Under the
circumstances, however, Joyce would
be happier had the board bill remain
ed unpaid. Burns will have to an
swer to this second charge if the first
should break down, which does not
seem likely.

Barn Burned.

Great Falls, Feb. 1S.-The destruc-
ton by fire of the barn used by Dan
Mccormick as a stage stable is re-
ported from Choteau. When the flames
were first seen the building was too
far gone for any hope. and the struc-
ture with it's contents was entirely con-
stunned. The loss is about $500, without
insurance. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated in a shed adjoining the barn.
Some lime was stored there. and the
dripping of water from the roof may
have Stacked this and created enough
heat to set the barrels in a blaze

A Nice Legal Question.

Great Falls, Feb. 1S.-A rather pecu-
liar case and one which will be likely
to prove interesting to attorneys was
filed in the district court to-day. Mrs.
Eta McCallum files suit to enforce a
judgment obtained together with a de-
cree of divorce in North Dakota in the
fall of 1895! She states that she brought
suit in Williston, N. D., on Sept, 20,
1895. for divorce from her husband, AL
bert Fl. Thomas. The suit was not
fought and she obtained judgment on
Nov. 81. 1895. That judgment gave her
the custody of seven children, $500 with
interest at { per cent. until paid, $50
costs and $100 per annum as alimony
during the minority of the children. On
March II, 1896, she married McCallum.
She now asks this court to enforce the
Dakota judgment against her former
husband. On his part he replies that
he never had notice of the Dakota suit
and was ignorant of it. That he filed
suit for divorce against his wife, the
former Mrs. Thomas and now Mrs.
McCalum, and the plaintiff in the pres
ent suit, at Glendive in Dawson coun-
ty, on Sept. II, 1895, and on the follow
ing Nov. q, the same date as that of
the Dakota divorce, he, too, obtained
decree parting forever from the
quondam Mrs. Thomas For this rea-
son he denies her right to enforce her
judgment or to recover anything on it.

about 800 miles of unbroken down
stream navigation made up as follows:
Athabasca river, 40 miles: across neck
of A.habasca lake, 10 miles: outlet of
lake to junction with Peace river, 30
miles; Peace river to Fort Smith down
Great Slave river. rs miles.
The Hudson Bay company have a
large steamer plying on this stretch OF
navigation. and the Roman Catholic
mission also have q steamer. A Chicago
company also have steamer which
was put on last fall.
There are : succession of four port
ages within 16 miles at Fort Smith. The
portages are short, being only from a
quarter TO half mile, and at the last
one only part of the load has to be port
aged. At the other three the boat and
load have to be portrayed. There is a
cart road 16 miles in length around the
rapids, and freight is hauled by team
around the rapids at SO cents to 81 per
100. Many people. however. prefer to do
their own work on the portages to hir-
ing teams. A guide has to be hired to
take the boats past the rapids and over
these portages.
From Fort Smith to Great Slave lake
is 1876 miles of uninterrupted down
stream navigation. The Hudson Bay
company and the Roman Catholic mis-
sion have steamers on this stretch of
river A number of small steamers were
put on last season by Yukon bound
parties.
The time occupied on the trip from
Edmonton to Great Slave lake varies
according to the stage of water. the
loads taken, the kind of boat and the
numbers and energy of the men them
selves In a good stage of water the
time would vary from 15 days light to
80 days loaded. Being down stream
there is not so much difference between
light and loaded time as if it were up
stream or on still water. The delay
with loads is at the portages.

PENITENTIARY MATTERs.

The Directors VIII Not Take Action
to Recover Dol. Meals Shortage
Until tho Investigating COnmittes
Completes its Work,
The Columbia correspondent OF the
} News and Courier writes as follows:
Tho penitentiary investigation hat
the general public. The special inves
tigating committee, which met here
some time ago and unearthed the scan
dals, will meet here again on the 18th
of June. The intention OF the com
mittee, at the time OF its adjournment
was to meet here on the 18th, and
after q session OF day or two, 60 tC
the State farms and resume the inves
tigation there. The idea OF the com
mittee was to visit the farms iG per
son, and see with their own eyes &C.
tually what had been done, on the
ground that too much had already
been taken on faith.
The board Of directors OF the peni.
tontiary will meet here on the 18th, SO
that the members OF the board might
be hero at the Same time as the inves-
tigating committee.
1t is learned that nothing will be
done in the matter OF recovering any
of the shortage from Col. Neal, or his
bOndsmen, nor will any other action be
taken until the investigation has boon
completed, and tho Legislative com.
| mlttee makes its report to the Gov
crnor, as contemplated by tho resolu
tion creating tho committee. A spe.
cial committee OF tho board OF direc.

Attorney General, and 1t was suggest-
ed to the board that it would be best to
wait on the complete report Of the
special committee before any proceed.

ncy General the J. b. Watson contract,
on which to sue for tho amount duo by
him to the State. The position OF tho
board is that 1t did not know Col. Neal

suit for the money due on this contract
will no doubt be pushed at once.

later in the summer than tho 18th OF
June. The petition was gotten up by

RICHLAND COUNTY FARMFRS.
To the Editor OF The State:

To the Editor OF The State:
At your request 1 will try and let
your readers know something Of our
community. For generations it has
been known as Mill Creek, but Uncle
Sam has seen fit because, forsooth,
there was another Mill Creek in
our State, to change tho name to
FLykesland, and along with the change
of maine, it seems that other changes
have come, especially in agricultural
development.
From time immemorial We have
been confirmed cottontots, but we are
learning better. The rulo here has
been, for, oh, 60 long, to plant to each
plow about 80 acres of cotton, and from
s to 10 acres Of corn and other stuff.
Now, from 16 to 20 acres in cotton Is
nearer the rule and there are some
who plant none at ell. / know some
farmers who last year planted 80 or 60
acres in cotton will not plant an acre
this year, and they have entered on the
change fearlesslyv too. In fact thore
has been revolution in farming meth
dds here, and tho good work goes on.
We are reaching out in several direc-
tions, trying to better our condition,
and we all have an abiding faith in our
soil, climate and ourselves.
