William Ulm, one of the early settlers
in Cascade county, was severely injured
on Sunday, by being run over by a
team and wagon an his ranch at Ulm.
1t is at present impossible to tell how
serious are his injuries, but it has been
ascertained that two of his ribs are
broken and the accompanying shock
may have serious results owing to his
advanced age.
The Kendall timber stealing case on
which the jury disagreed week ago,
has been settled by the defendants, f.
s. Godfrey, Nat Dawson, II. S. Tolliver
and w. A. Moulds, paying the ex-
penses which were incurred in the case.
The charge was one of stealing timber
from the land of Mildred Lindsay, of
Kendall, and was preferred by Theo-
dore Lindsay. The costs in the case
amounted to ses and was equally borne
by the defendants.
From parties who were in Great Falls
last week we learn that the meet
ing of the business mems association,
at which magic lantern views of north
ern Montana "farms" were exhibited,
was a decided frost, says the River
Press. The attendance was very small,
and Senator Gibson and others made
long speeches for publication only.
The views were carefully selected on
the foothill ranches and made a fine
showing, the past summer and spring
having been wet. 1t is anticipated
that next spring many poor immigrants
can be deluded into settling on the arid
bench lands around Great Falls. The
Great Northern's immigration bureau
has promised to assist in the movement.
Recognizing the opportunities offer
ed by the range south of Chinook, says
the Opinion, Dan Ringer, one of North
Dakota's large cattle owners, and
Frank Plunkett. for the past IL years
identified with the range business here
and most of which time he has had
charge of the Bear Paw Pools interests,
have associated themselves together
and entered into a contract with the
johnson Bros, of the Panhandle, Texas,
to receive a certain number OF thou
sands of two-year-old Texas steers each
year for a term of five years. The con-
tract calls for the delivery of the cat
tie at Billings, where they will be re-
loaded on Great Northern cars and
shipped here, to be run strictly in the
Cow creek and Missouri river country.
The new Mergenthaler Linotype ma
chine, purchased by the ARGUS some
time ago, arrived Saturday last and
this week has been set and is ready for
operation. This is without question
the most complicated and improved
machine ever brought to Fergus coun-
ty and few but experts understand its
Intricate workings, some of the parts
being so finely adjusted that watch oil
only can be used in the bearings. 1t
has almost unlimited capacity for the
casting of type matter and will entirely
displace hand composition in all news
paper use as well as straight matter,
such as book and catalogue work. For
a week the machine will be used in the
job department on some work which
has been delayed until its ar
rival, but with our issue of December
4th we expect to place before our read
ers a newspaper of quite different ap'
pearance than formerly and the exclu
sive product of the new machine. The
linotype will be driven by electric
power and for this purpose the Citizens
Electric Co. will furnish power every
