with public travel.
Mrs. Minnie Cooley wishes to inform
the Ladies of Lewistown and her past
customers especially, that She has re-
moved her Dress Making Parlors to the
Residence building Immediately oppo-
site Culver's Opera House, Where she
hopes to welcome all her former pat
rons, and extends an invitation to all
the ladies wishing up-to-date work at
reasonable prices. All work promptly
turned out satisfactorily.
Hal Gibson, at present court steno
grapher for Judge Tattan, will continue
in that position under Judge Cheadle.
Mr.. Gibson is very competent man
and Judge Cheadle is fortunate to so
easily secure II man of his ability for
the position. Shortly before the new
year, when Judge Cheadle will take Of
flee, Mr.. Gibson and family will move
from Benton and occupy the residence
adjoining that of Mr.. Cheadle.
The population of Lewistown is lO0s.
This includes only the inhabitants with
in the corporate limits Of the town up
on the first day of June last. Since the
population of other towns of the state
was announced at Washington some
time since and LewiStown omitted, Mr.. |
Croft, who was enumcrator in this dis
trict, felt entirely at liberty TO make
public the information in his possession.
The estimate made by the Argus was
1900 and it is with disappointment that
we learn our figures were too high.
j. Il. Murray has for sale several CO.
pies of Robert Yaughn's work "Then
and Now, or Thirty-six Years in the
Rockies" The author is well known
resident of Northern Montana, one Of
the early pioneers in the state and an
entertaining writer upon subjects of
great interest TO all old timers and of
great historical value 10 the younger
generation. The work includes sketches
of early pioneers. many of them now
gone to their ilnal rest, ofcombats with
the Indians and of the steps taken TO
reclaim this Treasure state from the
wilds and the hands of the aborigines.
The period covered is 1861 10 1900.
w. A. Shaules received cablcgram
this morning from Joseph King now in
Switzerland, announcing thrt his wife,
Betty King, had died there yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. King went TO switzerland
in June last hoping that the trip would
benefit Mrs. Kings health which had
been very poor for some time previous.
Lung trouble was the cause of death.
Deceased was Miss Trepp before She
married Mr. King and was loved by all
who knew her. News of her death will
fall very heavily upon her relatives and
many friends in this section. Mr., An
toinc King and Mrs. John Brangcr Of
Rock creek, and Mrs. =. Ycgen Of Iiil-
= lings were sisters of the deceased. while
Mrs. W. 4. Shaules and Mrs. jas, Cor
coran were cousins.
Saturday evening Sheriff Shaw took
charge Of the Democrat printing plant,
by virtue of chattel mortgage and
two attachments placed in his hands.
The ehattel mortgage is one given by
w. Wallace LARSEN to the Judith Ia
sin bank on January 9th, 1900, to Sc
cure payment of two promisory notes
One Of these notes was drawn Nov 9Th,
1899, for $500 due one year from date,
, the note being signed by w. Wallace
LARSEN, J. l.. Barnes, David IIilger,
w. NJ. l}lackford and c. H. Williams.
The other note was given January 9th,
1899, for s23i.sl and payable in six
months, signed by Mr.. LARSEN only.
In addition to the mortgage the bank
attached for n smaller amount due on
another note and for cash advanced
Matt Regan also attached for a small
amount. The total claim, including in
terests, was about sl,ljO. 1t has been
( known for some time past that foreclu-
: sure on these mortgages only awaited
1 election results, but il does seem tor
9 bad that after all that has been said
5 and done as part of the Democratic
! campaign that the bank should feel the
necessity of putting the Democrat in
charge Of the sheriff. In addition to
d the claims against the Democrat, prcyi-
= ously stated. there are "a number Of
; smaller unsecured claims. Col. Bates.
4 who has been editing the paper, will re-
. tnrn Ia Missouri, from whence he
) came. lie says that he wants 70 go
{ where there are some Democrats. II
= 5 probable that unless settlement
r with the creditors is made Sheriff Shaw
e will sell the printing plant and that +.
= jefferson Joans, who has boasted for
. weeks past that he would get hold of
a the plant, will bc the purchaser and
t very shortly the p.per viii be re-issued
i The publishing OF Democratic paper
r in Fergus county is certainly comedy
a of errors. Monday Mrs. LARSEN. mother
= of Wallace LARSEN, filed an attachment
for $3.50 in protection Of her interests
