THE JUDITH HARDWARE co.
Such VIII Be the Name OF a New Compan,
to Be Formed in lewistown.

What was u few days ago n mere
rumor has developed into an actual
ity, a new company To be known
ms the Judith Hardware Company,
will be organized and certificate Of
organization filed in n day or two.
TIE company will consist Of /. NJ.
Hobensack, A. w. StOddard, David
Hilger, John LauX and T.. ii. Sher-
wood. The stock is capitalized Mt
$4,000, paid in full. Mr.. HObensack
will be the general manager and Mr..
StOddard treasurer and book-keepsr.
The new company has purchased
the Main street lot between ID. NJ.
Crowley's saloon and the Power
Mercantile Co.'S store, the lot imme-
diately in the rear, ana four lots
from Robert Morrison, JaneauX
street. The latter purchase will be-
used for yards and warehouse pur-
poses. The old ARGUS building will
he removed at once from the Main
street property and II stone store
building which will occupy the entire
lot, erected in its place. IL has not
as yet been determined whether the
building will be two stories or one.
All the gentlemen comprising the
company have long been identified
with the business interests of Lewis
town and are men of high character
aud integrity. Messrs. Hobcnsack
and Stoddard have already estab-
llshed Il good business in the hard
ware line and the infusion Of new
blood and greater n will enable
them to carry ever n heavier stock
and cover n greater field. This new
company and the Montana Hard.
ware company can fill every want in
the Judith Basin for years To come.
Lewistown can well be proud OF two

anyw here in the great west.

A large body OF ore was struck in
the New Year mine last week.
Miss Sallie Dwight left for her home
in Pennsylvania last Saturday after
noon, going to the railroad by way
of Big Timber. Miss Dwight will
not return to the school.
Oldline Democrats who havegrown
gray in the party harness areloOking
daggers and splitting vitriOl. They
will not stand the secret" executive
session of the county committee.
They want a square deal.
Ted Abbott, the political sage of
Gilt Edge, who was in attendance at
the Democratic county committee,
was heard to say that he 'never saw
anything fairer than the action of
the committee in selecting delegates
and alternates." Yetiti is said Teddy
and j. E. WATSON were self-appointed
representatives from the Gilt Edge
precinct.
w. s. Smith. the furniture dealer,
informs us that he has under consid-
Grafton the erection OF n handsome
stone building on the Lanit lot mid
way between the ARGUS office and
the Fourth avenue corner On the
southeasterly side OF the street. He
has found that his present quarters
on the east side are too small and
thinks 1t quite assured that before
fall he will occupy a store Of his own
carer the business center. The
growth of Mr.. Smiths furniture bus.
mess has been quite miraculous and
all will be pleased II he decides to
add another handsome structure to
Lewistown's business blocks.
1t seems, from our latest advices
that Harlow, instead Of Merino, will
be the name OF the new town on tn,
Musselshell. 1t IL said that som,
parties took up a desert claim a
Merino expecting that the railroad
would be compelled to pay them ;
handsome figure for the land In OrdeI
to get agood townsite location. Tn
company would not stand theil
work and will extend their line ~
Antelope creek from four to five mile
this side of Merino. where the new
town will be located. This will
make the distance from LewistowI
to the terminus OF the road less thar
fifty miles. The road Is headed II
the right direction.
w. V. Lewis brought in from hi
Philbrook ranch Friday last a freal
OF nature in the way OF a youn,
lamb. The lamb was one OF twins
its mate being born dead. The freal
had a hook jaw like that seen OF
clowns masks, the mouth was per
feet except In the upper part OF tn
hook which extended downward in
stead of inward. From the uppe
part of the forehead was n tusk lik
an elephants, about three inche
long with the nostrils in the end
Below the tusk or nose were tw,
eyes In the same socket which was 1
the center of the face. The lam
lived but a short time. Other tina
the head was perfectly formed.

And then there is Matt Regain. The

issued for a state convention Is too
coarse work and will not be toler-

II the eclipse took place Mon
day morning according to the c.
lestial program, the people Of Lew
istown were not aware Of it. The
sun was eclipsed by the clouds. Only
about one-fifth OF the suns surface
would have been invisible here had
the conditions been favorable for OBJ
seryation. In some portions of the
southern states the eclipse was total.
A number of the st. Paul gentle
men who were here on business con-
nected with the New Year property,
are members OF the Town and Country
club of st. Paul. They are looking
with much favor upon a proposition
to make a game and fish preserve out
OF the south fork OF the Judith. There
is no better location anywhere In
Montana and the gentlemen have the
means with local aid, to carry out
the project II they can get sufficient
encouragement.
Freighters who arrived from Great
Falls Sunday state that on Saturday
some breed f%reighters camped on
Louise creek beat n OF their horses
to death and left the animal by the
roadside. Whether the horse was
balky or overworked we did not
learn. In any event such an act was
damnable and should be Investigate
ed by the proper authorities. The
statutes provide ample punishment
for cruelty to animals.
The closing exercises OF the public
schools took place last Friday
at the school house. While no elubo'
rate plans had been made the exer'
cises were interesting and called out
quite q goodly attendance OF patrons
and friends. As usual the primary
pupils acquitted themselves with
credit. JIM. Blackford read an ex'
cellent paper, and Mr.. Cort, in a few
well chosen remarks, awarded di
plomas to TIE roll OF honor children
Prof. Vancil spoke briefly to the pu
pills. The exercises closed by singing
America and the young folks scat
tered to meet again, we hope, In Sep

Our town council should see that
are given the streets in the
lower part OF town. At present 1t Is
difficult to locate people living In
that section because the streets have
no name.
And now we are reliably informed
that Democratic primaries will be
held and a county convention called
to nominate delegates and alternates
to the Butte convention. They are
liable to be recognized ii such is the
case, for such a cours would come

And let the band play on.
The Lewistown and Martinsdale
coach left town Tuesday with eight
passengers. Among thenumber were
w. r. Walker and John Nodson who

he took in the Republican state con-

ley DuBose, of the Tenth Judi
cial district, for Choteau, Valley

day for Cape Nome, where he will
act as attorney for the American
Transportation and Trading com.
pany. Judge DuBose has presided
as Judge Of the district since its or
ganization In 1891, and has been re
peatedly elected to succeed himself,
although a Democrat, in a district
which Is strongly Republican. He
will doubtless be called upon to oc'
cupy the bench In his new field, as he
Ia peculiarly adapted to judicial du'
ties, and In such an event, it goes
without saying that it will render
order out OF chaos.

he stated that arrangements would
probably be made at that time fol
connecting with the Lewistown tele

city connection, not only with Lew

connection with Lewistown will b,
OF great benefit to the merchants ant
