glowing possibilities of western HE,
Mr., Smith then abandoned his desk
In Schenectady, IN lS>G, ana followed
the star of empire until II located
him in Montana. After n careful
survey Of the field he wisely decided
upon Lewistown as a desirable lHca
ton and removed there early in 1856.
During each succeeding year he has
had the satisfaction Of seeing his
wisdom verified by the remarkable
growth of the town and the rapid
development OF the resources OF the
surrounding country. Fergus coun-
ty had not at that time been created,
but at the next session OF the state
legislature, the people were given a
local government and the county
was organized.
As already mentioned, Mr.. Smith
was elected To the Office Of county at

In this particular case are too fresh
in the public mind To need repeating
at this time. but 1t may be mention.
ed that. as a result Of one OF these
trials, William Wallace Calder, a
man charged with n cold blooded
murder, was convicted Of murder in
the first degree and was executed for
the crime on March 10 of the present
year; and Milton q. Howell, another
alleged desperado. is now lying In
the county jail awaiting a similar
fate.
Az II fitting recognition OF his abili.
ty. Mr.. Smith was nominated for the
Office OF Judge Of the Tenth judicial
district which embraces the counties
OF Fergus, Choteau and Valley, in
1896. His opponent for Office was
Judge DuBose, now on n trip to
Alaska, who had already filled the
position several years. Mr.. Smith
was defeated on this occasion, but
had no right to complain OF the ex'
cellent showing he made, under the
peculiar circumstances.
In 1890 Mr.. Smith was united in
marriage To Miss Nathalie Belanger.
the daughter OF n highly respected
citizen Of Maiden. They now have
a family OF three bright boys and two
charming little girls who are the
pride OF their parents.
