MONTANA
One Deputy Sheriff's Hardships i
GETTING a Witness.

Getting witness.
The perils of process serving in
Montana in winter are more than
those who dwell in cities realize.
Think of a deputy sheriff who risked
his life-and nearly lost it-and trav-
eled sixteen days to serve a subpoena
on one witness. Clyde Osgood of
Fergus county, is the deputy. Recent
ly he was ordered to serve a witness
in state case.
After many days travelling in a
wide and sparsely settled country he
found his man at l andusky, in the
Little Rockies, served him and started
to return. On reaching the old cross
ing of the Missouri below Rocky Point
he was forced to take to a skiff A
thin crust of ice, however, was on
the river, and, not having the luck of
George Washington on the Delaware,
Osgood had to abandon the attempt.
Then he tried to walk across. He sue.
ceeded until he reached the center
and then he broke through.
An ordinary man, says the Anacon-
da Standard, would have drowned.
Montana sheriffs are not ordinary
men, however, SO Osgood finished his
journey by swimming. breaking the
ice in front of him as he progressed.
Reaching the other side he procured
another horse and proceeded to Lew
iston, reaching there in sixteen DAYS
after his start. And he does not think
he did anything unusual, either.

HAVE FOUND RELIC OF STONE AGE
Flint Dagger Deeply Embedded IN

ull OF Horse.
In Sweden has been found a very
curious relic of the stone age. It is
the skull CT horse, and it was dis
covered by ]. A. Sjogren, an archae-
ologist, in the mud of the Ulitorpsa,
near Ingelslad.
Gunner Anderson, describing the
Ystad, says:
"At first it was thought to be the
skull of a deer, but Professors Leche
and Lundgren, after a careful exami-
nation, proved that it was that Of o
two-year-old horse. Compared with
the skull Of modern horse it is I'M
usually large, but what makes it
chiefly notable is the fact that a flint
dagger was stuck in it when it was
found. The dagger was broken off,
and its original length, as r1ay be in
ferred from several specimens of a
similar weapon in the museum at
Stockholm, could not have exceeded
twenty centimeters. Hence it could
never have formed part Of a lance.
That the dagger was broken off at
the moment when it was driven into
the skull is as certain as that it dates
back to the stone, or so-called neo-
lithic age The man who thrust it
into the skull knew his business, for
tie weapon IS fixed exactly in the SUI
ture between the zones and the
crown, and it was driven with such
force that it did not leave the slight
est mark on the outside. Indeed it is
liked SO firmly that it would require
a good deal of strength to draw it out.
All the scientists who have examined
1t say that it would be hardly possible
even for an unusually strong man
to drive weapon of this kind with
his hand into horses skull"

The whole bill is for $3.50, for two ami
mails, one of which is the $500 steer.

not been paid, largely because there is

that the state board Of control will offer
some objection. g.. .........
