A. c. Greene, of Antelope, was in the
city this week and stated that the
sheepmen of that section had expert
enced fairly prosperous season and
that sheep prices this fall were salts
factory and many sales had been made
to feeders from the Yellowstone and
Musselshell.
1t is now an assured fact, says the
Record, that Hon. Nelson Story will
rebuild the Touring mill, or rather erect
new structure over the site of the one
burned down at Bozeman a month or 50
ago. The contract for 100000 hard
brick has been let to the Kessley Brick
and Tile company. The mill will have
a capacity of 800 barrels per day and
will be fitted with all the latest appli-
ances.
The three men who were arrested at
Havre last week on the suspicion that
they were would-be train robbers,
turned out to be three hoboes who had
been thrown off freight train and had
assaulted brakeman. They were
taken before Justice Mcintyre and fined
five dollars apiece on a charge of carry
ing concealed weapons. There was no
evidence produced that would hold
them in any way connected with the
crime of which they were suspected
train robbery.
Annie Rogers, alias Maud Williams,
was arrested at Nashville, Tenn, last
week with $3.50 in bills which are sup
posed to have been stolen during the
robbery of the express car in the
Great Northern train robbery. The
woman walked into the Fourth Ma
tional bank at Nashville and asked the
cashier to change the bills for some Of
a larger denomination; suspicion was
aroused by the woman's manner and
the bills were found to have false sig.
natures of the president and cashier Of
q Helena bank attached. The police
were called and the woman arrested,
but all efforts to induce her to make
any communications on the subject
proved futile.
A short time ago Mark Lewis, who
works at the Elkhorn livery barn, had
a new saddle and q housekeeping pony;
he also had friend. Today all he has
left is strong desire to kick himself
and longing memory of his horse and
saddle. The acquaintance, whose name
he did not know, borrowed the outfit
for the purpose Of getting his horse,
which he said was in pasture close to
Frank Days ranch, just outside flown.
Night came and Mr.. Man was still pre-
sumedly hunting his horse, and on his
not showing up at noon the next day
Mr.. Lewis got "hunch" and started
the machinery of the law to working,
but in all probability this action was
taken too late, as nothing has been
heard of the friend" or the borrowed
outfit
The Nickleplate stage was an object
of attention to q large crowd last
Thursday morning, who viewed with
interest the maddened efforts of a
broncho on the wheel, to break things
up generally. The four horse stage
was waiting for some freight close to
the Montana Hardware Co. store and
by some means the broncho on the
wheel got his front feet over the single
tree of one of the leaders. There was
something doing for a while and II
was with difficulty that runaway was
prevented and as it was, the lead team
was right up against the bank window
when the animal who was the cause OF
all the trouble fell over the tongue OF
the wagon and brought things to a
standstill. With the exception Of the
loss of a little hide of the obstreperous
wheeler and u few broken straps, nc
damage was done and the stage 60,
away on time.
Prof. Williams Of the State Normal
school at Dillon, during an address
given at the institute last week, said
"It is doubtful whether young people
in city like Lewistown have any idea
of their opportunities and responsible.
ties, but the fact is that they are toe
near to thoroughly appreciate the ad.
vantages and resources of this wonder.
full country. 1t is for those at dis.
tance to realize the numberless oppor.
tunities for success which are con
tained in country 30 rich both In min
eral and agricultural resources as Fer
gus county" Inavery eloquent speech
he abjured the young people to free
themselves from their evil habits and
passions in order TO be able to cope
with the problems as true men and
women. In short address to the
graduates, before the presentation OF
the diplomas, he appealed to them moi
TO simply float with the crowd but to
use their individuality and aid in solv'
ing the problems and bearing the re
sponsibilities of life.
