SUPPLIES.
Reuorts Received Yesterday from
the Flooded District--NcErocs Re-
fuse 10 work ms Long as Fed.

Reports come from several points In the
recent flooded district along the lower
Brazos that negroes. deluded with the idea
that they are being fed by the govern
ment, refuse to return to work as long as
they are being fed. In order to controvert
as far as possible this idea. Chairman
Taliaferro had n conference yesterday
upon this point with Commissioner
Holmes. sent out by the agricultural de-
pertinent at Washington to gather stalls
ti-al information concerning the flood ana
requested him to controvert this idea by
telling the negroes with whom he came
in contact that the government had moth
ing whatever to do with their sustenance,
that they were simply being provided for
by the generosity of the white people Of
Texas and other localities generous enough
60 contribute supplies. and that these sup
plies will stop as soon as they are In
position to return to work.

w. b. Utley, chairman of the relief com
mittee at Sandy Point, writes that he has
issued rations, clothing, etc, TO 1850 per-
sons. He says the planters are the
heaviest losers. Several leased places VIII
not be retained. The greatest demand IS
for corn, potatoes, sorghum and garden
seeds.
There was shipped to Mr.. utley yester-
day 700 sacks of meal 5000 pounds of ba-
con. 1916 gallons of molasses, and five sacks
of salt
Mr.. John Julff, in charge of the relief
work at Julih, writes, expressing thanks
for supplies sent. He gave out the seed to
thirty seven families and issued the ra-
tons to about 2i0 people, the number be-
ing diminished one half since last ration
day, and will doubtless be much less about
a week hence, as many are preparing 10
leave. He has provisions TO last about two
weeks longer. He says there are some who
are not inclined to work and viii neither
accept nor hunt work. He suggests that
Chairman Taliaferro. as chairman of The
central committee. send q circular to each
of the distributing points Instructing the
agents to issue no more rations to those
who refuse to work, and that this would
have good effect.

c. w. Riddck writes that there are about
thirty three negroes there who have noth-
ing and need rations and seed. In re-

IT is A CURIOUS STORY
A Sand Coulee Rancher Who
Got It in the Neck.
JURY TURNED HIM DOWN
Diedrichson Alleged That Bower Gave
Him the Worst of 1t in Sowing a
Field of His Full of Wild
Mustard

Great Falls, Jan. 16.-An execution
was issued to-day in the suit of Louis
Diedrichson vs. William Bower in favor
of the defendant, and it brings out a
somewhat curious story Most people
have heard or read the parable printed
somewhere in the Bible about the SOW
er who went out to SOW and the cne-
my who went into his quarter section
later on and raised trouble by putting in
a goodly crop of tares, but biblical mis-
tory tails to state whether any lawsuit
grew out of the transaction.
About the same thing happened up
in Sand Coulee this summer. and in
this case there was a lawsuit and a
bitter one. Louis Diedrichson brought
suit against William Bower on alleged
verbal contract, which he claims was
about as follows William was to seed
40 acres of land belonging to Louis wi II
millet, William to furnish the seed and
to put in the labor. In the harvest they
were to share equally. But according
to the story of Louis, Bill bought bad
seed. seed that was full of tares in the
form of wild mustard, and not only
was there no crop, but the land was so
oVerrun with tares that it cost Louis
quite bit to free his land of pernc-
ious weeds Then he went for his enc
my by taking the law on him. UnfOr-
tunately for his side of the story. The
jury believed William, who swore that
the seed was, not only good, but that
Louis was to pay for it some SIS and
had paid but $45. The jury gave Will
liam a verdict for the $50 balance and
costs of the suit.

Great Falls, Jan. 16.-Thomas Curry,

turned to Lethbridge to settle his af-
fairs. In that city he is very popular

A WARM TIME.
Ice Wagon Team Starts WhoIesaI,
Runaway On Central Avenue.

Runaway On Central Avenue.
Great Falls, Jan. 16.--There was a
warm time on Central avenue for
few minutes this morning. A pair of
heavy horses attached to Fletcher's ice
wagon got loose on Second avenue
south, and in a few seconds were on
Central avenue, tearing over the pave
ment at a rate which made some of
the boys who bet their money on slow
horses last fall inclined to believe that
they knew little about speed. The fun
came in when the teams scattered
along the curb on the avenue began
to bolt. The original runaways tore
apart on the corner of Second street
and while one took the sidewalk the
other swept the street, and between
them they set every team to jumping.
One pair near Third street made an
attempt to Climb a board fence, but
were caught before they could do any
damage. Then team on the opposite
side of the street Joined in the race
and started a team belonging to The
meat company. A baggage wagon. the
express sleigh, horse and buggy chip
ped in and two teams standing further
down the avenue were torn from their
moorings, and the whole made a grand
parade down the street Finally they
dropped out one by one and the diff
ferent owners ran over the city pick
ing up their property. AS far as could
be learned, no one was injured and the
damage to property was very Slight
1t was the most exciting runaway ever
witnessed in this city. where such
things are frequent, and as no one was
hurt, it was enjoyable.

Friends Are Indignant,

Great Falls, Jan. 16.-This afternoon
Sam Wilbur, who owns and operates
dray line, had two men arrested for
running an opposition plant without a
Incense. They were Fl. Shepard and j.
M. Jensen, transfers, who had been SO
unfortunate as to take a job of moving
a stock of goods and were ignorant
of the city ordinance on the subject.
Wilbur slid around to the police court
and obtained his warrant, and it cost
the two unfortunates just $40 apiece.
They paid their fines and spent their
wrath in expressing their opinion of a
man who would not come around and
let them know in some milder manner
that they were breaking the law. Both
are old-timers here and reputable men,
and their friends are quite indignant
over the matter.
