All eyes are watching for the return
OF Robert Booth and bride. 1t is sincere
ly hoped that he will not dsappoint us
this time.
Chester Kellogg is getting the lumber
on tho ground for his new residence.
which it is reported is to DO ono of the
finest in the township.
Miss Alice Walker spent the greater
portion OF last week IN Langdon visit
ing friends and attending q meeting OF
the county association OF teachers.
There is one OF our Horon boys who
seems to spend considerable of the time
on the road driving these days. They
say that it is these institutes or some
thing or other that is attracting him.

The Daniels brothers started tkeir
new threshing outfit this week on the
farm OF Chester Kellogg. A field OF
barley that they started in on Monday
is turning out fine sample. with indi-
cations OF the yield making a good
average.
Harvest is about over in this section
and what our farmers are just now
busying themselves with is the problem
OF how to get the crop threshsd and in
the granary before it rains some more.
With little more OF the fine weather
that has been our lot lately Henderson
will haul into the market crop OF
which any one OF the older tewnships
might feel proud.

single horse left he is in al bad fix as
anyone can imagine for farmer in poor
circumstances with the prospect OF a big
crop going to ruin.
Scarcely anything is heard around
here these days but the click OF the
binder and the crop is so heavy that it
is next to impossible for the farmer to
secure Irvine with which to bind the
sheaves. Some of the farmers have had
to double the orders that they gave for
Irvine before the harvest begun.
A new firm, caused by the formation
OF a partnership between George &.
Wall, Frank Ballweg and John j.
Becker have invested in second hand
threshing outfit which they brought out
here last week and gave a trial on the
Ballweg place. All parties seem to be
well pleased with the result of the trial
and without a doubt they will have a
big season ahead OF them.
Harvest hands and ,hreshers are
wandering in around here from all d.
rections One OF the more an,bihous
kind applied for job as engineer on the
Ballweg threshing outfit. Tho best &C.
count he could give OF himself was that
he was half German and half English.
He was cornered when asked what his
name was. Farmers in here have no
use for man who shows himself to be
80 densely ignorant as that.

FAKE STORIES ABOUT
K|NTLA OIL FIELDS
Declared to Have Been No Oil Struck
in the District Although Surface
Indications Are Good.
Especial to Inter Mountain


Kaispcll, Dec. 20.-Claud S. Burr has
fturned from a three weeks visit to the
Kintla oil fields.
He says that in spite of the fact that
there is nearly two feet of snow in the
district prospectors and locators are still
busy and there is every prospect that
some of them will remain there during
the entire winter Mr.. Burr says that
the drill of the Knutee Oil company was
down 135 feet few days ago, and that
the formation is black limestone, which
is considered a favorable indication.
Of course the recent story to the effect
that the Butte people had struck an oil
sandstone and had stopped drilling was
pure fabrication. The drill has been
operating continuously and there are
as yet no positive indications of Oil in
the we'll.
Mr.. Bender, the manager came out
over month ago, and at that time an
nouneed his intention of not returning
before spring. These over-zealous spec
ulators in the Kintla field injure the in
terests of the bona-fide operators with
their fairy tales.
The only indications of Oil in the Kintla
district up to date are the seepages, and
the reports of experts qualified to judge
that the surface indications are most IA
vorab BILE.
This is as much as the conservative
operators and companies are willing te
state and all stories to the contrary may
be set down as plain fakes.

LEYSON SEEKS RELIEF,
Says Judge Harvey Exceeded His
Jurisdiction in Davis Estate.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Helena, Dec. 20.-Judge E. N. Harwood,
representing John H. Leyson, admins
traitor of the estate of A. j. Davis, today
applied to the supreme court for a writ
of certiorari to review the decree of dis
tribution made some time ago by Judge
Harvey at the instance of H. A. Root
and others.
The petition of the writ states that the
court exceeded it's jurisdiction in order
Ing the distribution, and that the orders
that the court made parceling the estate
to certain parties is void by reason Of
the litigation over the estate in the
United States court and other actions in
which Mr.. Leyson as administrator was
made party for the purpose of COM
pelling him to deliver the same property
to other claimants of the estate who We're
not favored with a share in the distribute
ing ordered by the court.
The petition states that Mr.. Leyson.
might, as the result of such litigation,
be compelled to turn the property over
to other persons than those named in the
decree Of distribution issued by Judge
Harvey.
If the order of the district court was
In excess of jurisdiction, it is contended
by Mr. Leyson's attorneys, that he would
not be protected in turning the property
over upon a void order.

WILL PAY CASH.
State Treasury Has Funds Ample for
All indebtedness.
Especial to Inter Mountain.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, Dec. 20.-By the first of next
week Montana will be on a cash basis.
That is, the state will pay for every
thing, except wolf bounties as it goes
along.
State Treasurer Barrett has paid about
$4,000 during the last two days, taking
up outstanding general fund warrants.
There are still about $4,000 worth of war;
rants that have not been paid, but there
Is ample money in the treasury to meet
all obligations as fast as they are pre-
sented for payment.
Early last spring State Treasurer Bar
ret was able to take up and pay all war
rants. and for the first time in many
years the state was able to pay cash.
During the summer there was a small
accumulation of warrants on hand at all
times, but before Christmas the state
will have cash sufficient to meet all it's
obligations.
State Treasurer Barrel expects that
next year he will be able to take up all
claims against the state as fast as they
are presented. In the past the banks
have carried the state warrants as cash,
charging a small amount of interest for
the accommodation.

ing fan tan, will probably not be fur
Their prosecuted. Their attorney, Albert
I. Loeb, filed a demurrer to the complaint,
which the court sustained, and unless
new information is filed against the two
Cinnamon they will not be tried. The
demurrer alleged that the defendants
We're not proprietors, dealers or employees
of the fan tan game, but were charged
with playing. Mr.. Loeb contended that
they were not amenable to the law and
had committed no offense. The other two
Cinnamon arrested during the raid on
a fan tan game in Chinatown several
weeks ago will be tried at this term of
the district court on the charge of violat-
ing the gambling law.

continent, however, is but temporary


one
There has been some friction among
the officers of the society growing out
of the charges of cruelty to the chill
dren made against Miss Uttley, the
1llatron of the home, who has just re-
signed. It is believed, however, that the
resignation of Miss Uttley will make
the way clear for a settlement Of the
differences and for future effective work.
:, The Montana Children's Home society
has been in existence for the last five
years and has conducted a very COM
raenda BILE work. Very close to 900 chill
dren have been provided homes through
the agency of the organization. A short
time ago Miss Dowden started can
vass for funds and in Lewistown alone
she secured pledges of $1,000. Since then,
however, she has been unable to give
but a small part of her time to the
work. but during the last two months
She has secured subscriptions which
aggregate nearly $4,000.
The modus operandi of the society is
to find homes for children left alone
in the world. When a waif comes into
the possession of the society it is cared
for and nurtured until suitable home
may be provided.
The application for children really
exceeds the supply although it is not
always the easiest thing to secure the
right kind of home for certain chill
dren. Children of different dispositions
must be placed in homes that are best
suited to their dispositions.
There are more homes without chill
dren than there are children without
homes" said Miss I. e. S. Dowden,
who has been in charge of the work for
y some time.
The society has done a world of good
and it is to be hoped that it's work will
be continued

SEVERITY OF THE RECENT STORM
MUCH EXAGGERATED.
ONLY FOUR INCHES OF SNOW
Plenty of Grass Still Visible on the
Ranges-Indignation Expressed at
the Untruthful Reports of
Heavy Snowfall.
Especial to Inter Mountain

Miles City, Dec. 2O.-The stories re-
Gently wired abroad from Montana
concerning the severity of the recent
live stock, may fit some portions of the
state, but not eastern Montana.
Not more than four inches of snow in
all has fallen here and during the late
storm there We're two days in success
sion when thermometers registered %
and "a degrees below zero. This was
succeeded by warmer days and then a
chinook.
AS this extreme cold was unaccompa-
MED with wind, and as there is plenty
of grass still visible on the ranges, there
has been no loss of range stock re-
ported.
On the contrary, cattle are looking
first rate. The two days cold weather
put but little strain upon any sort of
stock. The fakir who sent out the
alarming reports of two to six feet of
snow here and impending bankruptcy
for stock rasers, should be kept under
a barrel for the balance of the winter.
There has been considera BILE public
interest aroused by the trial of Earl
and Sol Nichols in the district court.
The Nichols brothers We're charged with
aiding Bill Clark, an alleged member
of the notorious McPeake horse stealing
gang, to escape from Emmett Wynne.
an officer, who found Clark in hiding at
the Nichols ranch.
1t is claimed that the Nichols boys
seized Wynne, disarmed him and at the
muzzle of revolver prevented the ar
rest. Clark made good his escape and
has never since been found.
