NEGOTIATIONS FOR THAT PuR.
POSE NOW PENDING.
WELL BACKED BY CAPITAL
Syndicate of Moneyed Men Looking
Over Tract With View to
Purchasing.
from Fridays Daily Gazette.

yfrom Fridays Daily Gazette.
While it is not definitely decided
and the plans are not sufficiently ma.
tured to warrant publication as a
fact, there is every reason to believe
that the long cherished hope of bring,
ing under cultivation Of the lands
known as the Huntley fiat is now
nearing fruition.
During the last few weeks the lands
have been looked over by gentlemen
who are interested in irrigation and
the development of just such tracts
as the fiat is. They are experienced
men and are backed by ample capital
to handle the matter and bring about
the settlement and reclamation of the
tract lying Immediately east of the
city. It is believed that the interests
of the state as well as that of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
can be so arranged in the deal pend
ing that there will be little doubt of
the early habitation of the land in
question by a thrifty class of farm
ers.
The tract comprises some 10000
acres and if the deal is successful
the land will furnish homes to several
hundred families.

senger Station Here.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
When President Mellen and other
officers of the Northern Pacific pulled
out for the east yesterday morning
and it had been ascertained that the
matter of a new depot and other i'm
provements by the company in the
city had not been called to their at
tention during their brief stop here,
Chris Yegen appointed himself a COM
mittee of one and boarded the train
when it was leaving to lay the matter
before Mr.. Mellen and his associates.
Mr.. Yegen went down the line about
so miles and obtained what he con
sidered a very satisfactory interview
on the subject.
Mr.. Mellen stated that while a new
passenger depot fdD city had not
been included in the list of improve
ments contemplated along the system
next year, he thought, however, that
something in that direction might be
done for the city. MI. Mellen express
ed his willingness to lay the matter
before the directors of the company
and make a strong recommendation
for a new union passenger station.
Mr.. Yegen called the attention of

ceipts of the company at this station,
as compared to other towns along
the line the size of Billings. He also
asked that they compare it's improve
ments in the city to one Or more 9TH
err towns in the state which do not
contribute nearly so much annual
revenue to the company as does Bill

ing all her dreams of happiness in
South Africa and with it the alluring
pictures of domestic bliss on the
veldt, the bride packed up her be-
longings and with her mother and the
faithful Turney returned to Miles City,
where all now are once more. What
became of Sargsson is not known, but
the supposition is that he is some
where to the east and still doing work
in behalf of the destitute and Cypress
ed OF his native Transvaal.
Before coming here Sargsson was
at Livingston and the Post of that
city says he is regarded there as a
fraud. While at that place he was
accompanied by a woman and child,
who were said to be his wife and
daughter.

corning Crow Lands.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
While disappointed at the failure
of the passage of the Crow Indian
segregation bill in congress last win
ter, the people of this particular Sec
ton of Montana are by no means dis
couraged and have every reason to
believe that the efforts of the Mon
tana delegation at Washington this
winter will result in the success of
that measure.
Although some blame was attached
to the Montana delegation in con-
gress during the late campaign in the
state for the delay in the passage of
the BILL it is believed that they did
all in their power to bring about the
opening of the lands provided for un-
der the terms of the treaty with the
Indians. Some opposition was en-
countered to the measure as introduce
ed by Senator Clark, for the reason
that the bill provides that the govern
ment is not to be reimbursed by the
for money appropriated to
make the purchase from the Indians.

CATTLE IN
Texans Prospecting Copper Rive*
Country for Range.

1t is "ery evident that he reports
concerni !s the growing scarcity of
range in Texas have not been ex
agerated and that the cattiemen of
the Lone Star state, or at least some
of them are beginning to find them
selves confronted by a serious propo-
sition. Realizing that the northern
ranges, SO far as affording feed for
are not better than their own, some
of the Texans are considering the in
vasion of entirely new territory and
which hitherto has not entered into
the calculations of the stockmen.
Upon the report made by Thomas
H. Powell, one of the extensive stock
raisers of the Texas Panhandle coun-
try, will depend the stocking of the
unsurveyed grazing lands of the Cop
per river country with beef cattle,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Mr.. Powell is at present in the city
on his way to Valdes, from where he
will examine the possibilities and re-
port when he returns in the early
spring. He says that Texas cattle
men are forced to find some place
to Craze next spring, and from the
reports received they believe the
Alaska district is worth investigating.
1--WE + short of range in Texas"
he said at the Northern yesterday,
"and if we can find what we lack in
the Copper river country we will ship
a large number of cattle there. We
will engage in the stock business, l
mean, for the whole of Alaska. That
country is able to furnish us with a
market for a large number of cattle
if we can find the grazing land.
"Since my arrival here l am
what discouraged. l have talked with
a number of people who have. been in
that part of the country, and they in
form me that while there is an abund-
ance of grass it is watery and cannot
be cured for hay. l have been inform
ed that horses will get poor on it, and
if that is the case, then cattle cannot
subsist, even so well as horses. If
this is the condition there is no use
of trying it. However, l will go and
make a personal investigation.

in the north, and will return here
about February. If we conclude to

Candidate for Representative.

Democrats Will So Nominate Thei,
Candidate for Representative.
1t is generally understood among
the democrats of the county that nc
convention will be held to place in
nomination a candidate for the legis.
lature by that party for the special
election to be held next month. The
candidate, who, very likely will be
Mr.. Morse, is to be nominated by pc.
tition which under the law requires
5 per cent of the names of those of
that party who voted at the last gen
eral election.
1t is not known at this time whether
the republicans will adopt the same
course in making their nomination.
Some of the party leaders prefer that
the nomination to be made by petit
ton, while others insist that the
wishes of the party will be best con-
served if the candidate is named in a
convention of representative republi-
cans from every precinct in the coun-
ey. To get an expression of the
wishes of the party in respect to the
manner of procedure, Chairman Prick
EFT Of the county central committee,
will probably call a meeting of the
republicans of the county to be held
at the court house at some date in
the hear future to agree upon a plan
of nomination.

"CaIamity" Lands in Jail for Being

escapades was n of yesterday and

seriously but for the timely inter
ference of a bystander.
Without any apparent reason, save
that suggested by a mind more or
less disordered by too free indulgence
in her %favorite tipple, Jane armed her.
self with a Ratchet and invaded
Yegen Bros store and attempted to
put an end to the existence of one
of the young ladies employed in the
drygoods department. At least she
advanced toward her with the Ratchet
uplifted and declared that she would
chop her to pieces then and there. 1t
may have been only one of James
practical jokes, but the victim of it
failed to appreciate it and began to
scream for help. One of the male
clerks fastened to the rescue and
after disarming the belligenent Ca
lamity assisted her out of the store.
No cofplaint was made and Jane es-
capped arrest.
This morning she visited another
store on the south side and again
became o~bstreporous. For this she
was arrested and placed in the city
Jail, where she spent the day, with
the promise of a trial this afternoon,
in case she should sober up enough
to make her appearance in court pos
sible. A state complaint has been
filed against her and it is very likely
that she will be given a sentence in
the county Jail of such length that
she will have plenty of time in which
to get the liquor out of her system. 4
