Lewistown. His name is Pierre Law
erdure. and he is 109 years old. He
inhabits a white-washed log cabin.
which his good wife, IS years of age,
keeps as clean as plate glass win
dow. Mr.. Laverdure is French
and Indian half breed. He is tall.
and even in his advanced age is as
straight as the proverbial arrow.
Think what it means to walk the
earth for more than century!
This man has lived through the
terms of all presidents Of the United
States from George Washington to
William Mckinley. He was slen-
der youth with the skin of wild ami
NAL around his loins during the war
of 1912. He was full of fire and vigor
and hope when Perry met the enemy
ON Lake Erie and they became his.
He was approaching the prime of life
when Napoleon was marching over
Europe conquering nations, and he
was still in his eos when that great
military genius stepped aboard the
Bellophoron for transportation to st.
Helena. He was an old man when
the "Johnnies" fired on Fort Sump.
ter, and was an old man yet when the

Pierre Layerdure. aged Ill years.
who has been a resident of Fergus
county since 1876. died at his home
on the outskirts of the city yester-
day morning at o'clock.
He had many friends among the
old timers in this section of the
county who were familiar with him
when he was a vi ,orous and hearty
old man in the early seventies. His
unusual longevity is no doubt due to
the simple and invigorating life led
by the early pioneers who hunted
and trapped for living and were.
perforce, removed from many of the
enervating influences which are at
tendant upon a modern civilization.
Pierre Laverdure leaves wife and
many children to mourn for one who
has always treated his family with
kindness. The following account Of
the life of the deceased was publish
ed in the Pictorial Edition Of the
ARGUS, issued last year:

FOUR HORSE RUNAWAY.
A Coal Team Stampedes on Fifth
Avenue.

A heavy four-horse team belonging
to John Borgh stampeded from in
front OF Wells & Co.'S clothing estab-
lishment on Fifth avenue last Friday
morning. and after careering toward
the steam laundry at a pace which
would have put a chariot race to
shame were finally stopped by Alb.
Decker opposite lhe Day ranch.
On rounding the corner of Fifth
avenue they dragged the wagon so
close to an electric light pole that
several cuts were made in II by the
hub OF the front wheel, and on cross.

residence one OF the wheelers fell
and put check on the terrific speed
which had been maintained from the
start. Alb. Decker saw the team as
they passed and was able to catch
them at the Day ranch after the
wheeler had been dragged two hun.
dred yards. Luckily no damage was
done, with the exception of the break.

come by patent attachment invent
ed expressly for that purpose; this is
in fact a series OF steel knives so ar.
ranged that the wheels will be scrap
ed clean of mud at each revolution,
and this combined with the extreme
width of the tires will in all probabil.
ity be especially conducive to the sue.
cess of the enterprise.
While a speed of twenty miles an
hour could be obtained on good roads
1t is most probable that the average
speed will be in the neighborhood of
fifteen to sixten miles, which would
enable the trip to Harlowton to be
made In little over four hours. This
itself would be a great improvement
not to mention the increased comfort
OF the transportation.
1t is to be hoped that the venture
will prove a success, as it will un-
doubtedly mean much to Lewistown
and the surrounding mining camps
by brining them into closer contact
with the outside world. A consider
able amount of both time and money
has been expended on the project
which is worthy of the heartiest pub
lie support and encouragement.

that the team stopped as soon as the

the party, who congratulated them
selves at intervals on the fact that
they were still alive.
