near Bull Mountain, was brought to
the city late Wednesday evening and
admitted to the isolation hospital, hav-
ing developed a severe case of small
pc. The man was shipped up in a box
car, SO as to minimize the danger of
contagion and after his removal the
a was thoroughly fumigated. He
was the third patient to be admitted at
the pest house that day, the other two
having appeared on the streets and
are supposed to have been switched
off onto this county by Rosebud.
Charles Rexhius, who was placed in
Jail last Wednesday, on the charge of
being insane, will probably be given
an examination today. Whatever
doubt may have been entertained as
to his insanity has been removed since
his incarceration, as he has steadily
grown worse. Yesterday he refused
to partake Of food, saying the jailer
intended to kill him. He also labors
under the delusion that he has COM
mitted some serious crime and .ex-
presses willingness to be punished for
it, but says he would rather go to the
penitentiary than be killed for the
Offense.

The FARMERS
TO ORGANIZE
MOVEMENT STARTED FOR STATE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
WILL MEET AT HELENA
Development of Montana's Farming
Resources Principal Object of
Proposed Organization.

Profting by the example of the live
stock men and horticulturists, whose
organizations for mutual protection
and the advancement of their re-
spective industries have proved so
highly successful throughout the state,
the agriculturalists propose to organ
ize themselves into a state associa-
tion and a call for a preliminary meet
ing with that object in view has been
issued The leaders of the movement
say no idea is entertained, at least not
at present, OF organizing a fair asso-
citation in connection with the other
subject Of future consideration. Their
present object is to organize a society
of farmers which will meet at stated
times for the discussion of all matters
connected with modern, progressive
farming and to promote the best in
terests of the farmers and develop
the agricultural possibilities Of the
state.
Many letters have been received by
the originators of the movement, the
writer's being farmers and those inter-
ested in farming, and assurances of
hearty support and assistance is o n
tanned in all.
Following is the call for the meet
ing:
Believing that the future welfare Of
our state depends upon the fullest pos
sible development of u agricultural
resources; that it is possible for Mon
tant to become great as an agricultur-
al state, and that this can be FASTENED
by the permanent organization Of a
state agricultural society.
Also recognizing the great influence
that the organization of the state hor-
t%icultural society has had in promot-
ing fruit culture within our state.
Therefore, we hereby a
call for a meeting to be held at the
city of Helena on March IA and Is
1902, for the purpose Of organizing
a state agricultural society, and all
who are interested in the further de
velopment of the agricultural re
sources of our state are invited to be
present. Signed by

LOST MICA LEDGE.
Custer County Romance Recalled BY
Recent Killing.

Custer County Romance recalled BY
Recent Killing.
The shooting some days ago of
Long Henry Thompson in the north
ern part of the state recalled his muir
der Of a half breed negro, named
George Denman, in the little hamlet
of FallOn, in the eastern part of Gus
ter county. The murder was commit
ted in 1894. and the victim was en-
ployed as roundup cook for the Nm
outfit.
Beside recalling Dneman's murder,
the killing of Thompson also recalls
to the minds of some Custer county
people another matter of even more
interest to them. Denman died with a
secret, that if revealed, it is believed,
would have proved a valuable one.
Before joining the outfit in which
he was murdered Denman worked for
l.. w. Stacy, the we'll known cattle
man. While riding the latter's range
he claimed to nave discovered a ledge
of mica and to prove his story brought
to Mr.. Stacy a specimen of the miner
al. He also agreed to take his en-
ployer to the location of his discovery,
but for one reason or another Mr..
Stacy neglected to go with him and
finally Denman left him and was kill
ed by Thompson.
The fact that Mr.. Stacy says he
submitted the sample to experts who
pronounced it mica and of good value
may make it true that Denman did
really discover a ledge of that mineral
but in the opinion of mining men and
those having knowledge of mining il
seems very unlikely. They are in

SEASON is
indication That Spring Has
Really Arrived.

Unless nature is preparing to work
a confidence game and has a surprise
in store for those who are deceived by
it's present benign attitude, winter is
at an end and spring is here, notwith-
standing the calendar says that sev-
eral weeks more must elapse before
it will be proper to don the raiment
usually assumed when the seasons
change. On every hand appears evil
dence of the approach of the glad
springtime. Green grass enough to
ed by late arrivals from the country
and alfalfa has begun to put forth its
first sprouts. In many places it has
attained a height of an inch or two
above the ground and is beginning to
"joint out" as the rural people say.
Up the valley farmers are reported as
blowing and preparing to SOW their
grain.
Stockmen who have visited the
ranges during the past few days say
cattle are as fat as they were at the
beginning of fall and as playful as in
the height of the grass season. Not
a head has been lost and as far as car
be learned it has not been fdNnd nee
essary at any time during the winter
to feed any weak or young stock. The
rain of last Monday extended I've
a large area and filled all the water
holes and c%oulees, placing the range
in the best possible condition.
Those who believe in signs" predic
a continuance Of the present milo
weather and declare that the coming
month will be no more severe than al
ordinary April. A gentleman from VI
country said yesterday that a larg'
flock of meadow larks had winteret
on his ranch and while they had no
yet begun to sing. they were flying
about as clipper and lively as in mid
summer. He said that during a resi-
dence of over a quarter of a centur,
in this part of the Yellowstone val
ley he had never before known of
similar occurrence and accepted i
as an augury of an early and eXcep
ftionally warm spring.

TITLE FOR RICH DOVER.
Solicitors to Secure for Him
wealthy Wife nj Once.

The London Telegraph says the fol-
lowing letter emaaating from an adj
dress and over 9 name corresponding
with those given in the London di-
rectory, has been received by an emil
nent firm of solicitors:
San English peer of old title Is de-
sirous of marrying at once wealthy
lady. Her age and looks are imnia-
teria1, but her character must be ir-
reproachable. She must be a widow
or spinster, not divorcee.
"If among your clients you know
such lady who is willing to pur-
chase the rank of peeress for $780,
600, paid in cash to her future hus-
band, and who has sufficient wealth
besides to keep up the rank of a
peeress, 1 shall be pleased if you
communicate with me in the first in
stance by letter, when a meeting can
be arranged in your office. l beg
you to keep this confidential. The
peer will pay handsomely for the
introduction when it is arranged"
The Telegraph suppressed the vend-
or s rank, which is given in the let
ter, substituting the words peer and
peeress.
