visit. He reports great Improvement
in the Dawson county capital since his
last visit. AT least a half dozen new
wind mills have been erected since
then for the purpose Of pumping water
for the citizens who have grown en-
tirely too wealthy to longer be con-
tented with the old way Of pumping
by hand. Glendive has not arrived at
the dignity of possessing a system of
water works.
Quite a number Of persons were
attracted to the stockyards yesterday
to witness the "entraining" of the
horses that the representatives Of the
British governmental have bought from
Lowther & Hepe6m. The animals
numbered ABBOTT 700 and into .the~hoof
of each was lburned~ttre broad arrow
which stands as the emblem of En-
glish ownership. The horses were a
superior lot and some of them gave
evidence Of possessing enough vim
and life to satisfy the most accom-
plished rough rider that eve strad-
led a saddle in his majesty's service.
Friday night John Popovich was ar
rested by a policeman at the Northern
Pacific depot for acting in a suspic-
ious manner and locked up for the
night. Yesterday morning he was
arraigned in police court and there
being no charge against him he was
released and given 80 minutes in
which to get out Of town. In order
that he might not take the wrong di-
rection an officer was detailed to es-
cort him to the city limits. While
he had done nothing constituting a
criminal o~ffense, Popovich when ar
rested was acting as though he in
tended to make a raid on the belong
ings of passengers in the cars, as
he persisted in boarding a waiting
train, Notwithstanding that the train
men had repeatedly put him off, and
it was deemed best to put him where
he was certain to modest no one.
Meagre particulars have been re-
ceived of a distressing accident which
befell William Bowles, a rancher re-
siding lea Park City, a few days ago.
He was engaged in unloading a Win
chester rifle and while throwing the
cartridges out of the magazine enc
became lodged in the breecli a L ex-
ploded. Although the bullet missed
him, the powder was driven into his
face and completely destroyed the
: sight of both eyes. A singular fea'
ture in connection with the occurrence
was the fact that for almost a quarter
: of an hour after the accident Bowles
5 was able to see. The attending ply
stefan explained the phenomenon by
saying that it probably had taken thai
length of time for the optic nerves tt
h become dead and for the blood tt
cease. circulating. Bowles is describ
ed as a young man and the aff1ictio1
for that reason is all the greater.
