THE TALE OF A SHIRT.
It Was a Wonderful Hoodoo Worker to
Its Wcarers.

Its wearers.
A prominent physician. who has an
Office in downtown skyscraper
bought early this spring n supply of
gorgeous negligee shirts. One OF the
new garments, which he had made
at cost of $3.50 each was so peculi-
arly atrocious that he wore II but once
When he came down 60 breakfast one
morning with the awful red and
green plaid adjoining his manly form
his wife at once gave notice that il
he went down town with il on she
would sue for divorce. She also
warned him that view of the shirt
would certainly bc fatal to his more
delicate patients. Feeling chastened
by this rebuke the doctor took off the
nightmare and went down to work in
white linen.
That evening another young doctor
called at the physicians home and the
subject OF the wonderful shirt was
mentioned. Finally the garment itself
was brought down and displayed and
the matter was settled by the accept
ance of an offer Of fifty cents for the
shirt made by the younger physician.
The new owner of the shirt put IL on
one day and started TO walk down
Clark street on his way to one OF the
railroad stations. On the way the
shirt caused almost Il riot among the
eXcitablc denlZens of the Levee and
the doctor took 1t off that night for the
last time. A few days later, by way
Of n hp
garment TO young cousin for twenty
five cents. The latter put on the shirt
and went TO roof garden. where the
plaidS and stripes attracted so much
more attention than the vaudeville
performance that he took his depar-
ture before the entertainment was
more than half through.
That night burglars broke into the
house of the doctors cousin and
among the property carried of was
the shirt. The burglars We're never
arrested and in a week or two all the
parties who had been interested in the
rainbow front forgot it's existence.
Last week the original owner went
up into Wisconsin to spend a few
days fishing. one evening n wild-eyed
farmer rushed into camp and inquired
If there was doctor on hand. The
physician admitted his identity and
was asked to hurry back 10 the farm
er's house. where man had been bad
ly gored 10y bull.
The victim was lying groaning on a
couch in the dining-room when the
doctor entered. After his wounds had
been bound up the doctor noticed
something familiar about the shirt
which the unfortunate man wore He
looked down at the bosom and there
in red embroidery were his own in
itials. 1t was, indeed, the famous gar
ment which had had such strange
history.
IT'S no wonder the bull hooked
him." said the farmer. He ought to
know better than wear a shirt like
that"
AS a matter of common humanity
the doctor secured possession OF the
ill-omened shirt and sum-; it in the
lake, where it will be powerless to
cause any further riots or accidents

Connection Between Heat and Crime.

=
Summer after summer comes. and
some among us arc still wondering.
rs they wondered years ago. rs to the
connection between heat ard murder.
Why is the revolver so near and the
hand so prone to the billy on hot

nourish passions. The remedy is sim
ple-that is, an emollicnt may readily
be devised. Less poverty would help
greatly, but we can't diminish that by
public action. because so many people
have acquired the habit Of poverty and
persist in 1t, while so many others are
defeated by poverty and are unable to
recover. Less OF the rum habit would
help, but we can't do much here. for
the rum habit is not conqucrable by
law. But the community can lessen
some of the evils OF heat by insisting
upon better tenements, more cleanli-
ness in them and the street. more
small parks and recreation wharves.
more free chairs in the parks. and

Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1901-12-04

Mr.. Harding said that he removed
the corral to the Blood creek divide,
where it was more centrally located
and he did not claim it and never had.
Much more evidence was heard
which corroborated both sides of the
story but failed to prove to the jury
any wrong intent or the part Of Mr..
Harding and he was acquitted after
a short elaboration.
The defendant in the case, Silas j.
Harding, was fined $50 by the court
for swearing to a false affidavit on
November 18th, in which he set forth
that Andrew Fergus, who was out Of
Fergus county at that time, was a nee.
essary witness and thereby securing a
continuance of the case. The court
said that he had made inquiries of
Mr.. Fergus in regard to the matter
and had been informed that he was
not able to testify to the evidence as
set forth in the affidavit.
