day Afternoon.

Eugene Kolb, well known as an
employee for some time past Of the
l.ewistown Meat & Provision Com
pany. died suddenly at his home last
Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
having been complaining but about
one day. and was not considered SER
iously i'll until a very short time be-
fore his death.
On Tuesday he made a trip to Ken
dali ana on his way home, in the af-
tcrnoon. ate some noodle soup at the
half way house. Immediately there
after he began to feel bad and upon
getting back to town looked up DR..
Hedges and got a prescription. He
was not feeling at all well in The fore
noon Wednesday, but got up and ate
dinner. About 3 o'clock DIR. Treacy
got a message to come at one to the
Kolb home and upon arriving there
found that Mr.. Kolb had died about
twenty minutes prior to his coming.

and after considering the sudden and
peculiar manner of the mans death,
decided to hold an autopsy to deter
mine, II possible the cause. Calling
in DIR. Attix to assist, the autopsy was
performed and revealed a state of
chronic colitis and inflammation of
the stomach, liver and intestines, all
of which were of long standing and
very naturally caused the sudden
death of the sick man. The contents
of the stomach were preserved and
will be subjected to a chemical analy-
sis, although they are not likely to
throw any new light on the cause of
Kolb's demise. other than that shown
by the autopsy. Mr.. Kolb was buried
at 10 o'clock Friday morning In the
Catholic cemetery, services having
been held from the Catholic church
by Rev. Father Vermaat.
Deceased was about 40 years of age
and leaves a wife to mourn his un-
timely death. He was a hard work
ing man, provided well for his fam
lily, vas true to mis- friends and pos
sessed the sincerest respect of all
who knew him, either In a business
or social way.

kid" Royals, whose %avocation is
horse stealing, is an old Fergus coun-
ty boy, but his record while living
here, or since leaving, is not such
as will shed much luster on his old

was found at n end of a halter, to
the other end of which vas attached

In this ~predicament he left the coun-

nation being Deer Lodge. After serv-
ing his term there he again branched
out in his chosen profession, follow
ing it so assiduously that when he
was finally caught a few days ago and
taken to Great Falls to answer the
complaint of ii. H. Nelson for horse
stealing, II was discovered that the
sheriffs of several other counties
would like to have him in charge for
awhile; and in case they fail to on

Royals was only 20 years old when
he left Fergus county for the peni.

total receipts being ~$lS.97S.50. In
most cases there was no competitive
bidding but in several instances there
was a ripple of excitement caused by
some active counter bidding. The
contests were generally over sections

the subjects of contention in past
sales. The Huson property, a well
