1000 acres Of the land with alfalfa.
The ditch was repaired last spring
and has been carrying water thru for
the irrigation Of his lands. The old
lake at Edgemont has been refiIled
for the first time in several years, and
water has been provided for the irri-
cation of all arid territory in the re-
gion. 80

company, taking out the water of the

Helena, Mont, Oct. 1O.-Unless the
supreme court Or Governor Toole in
terferes j. S. Keerl, well known civil
engineer, must spend the rest of his
life in the Montana penitentiary at
Deer Lodge, District Judge Smith hav-
Ing yesterday afternoon declined to
grant new trial.
Keerl was convicted of the murder
of Thomas Crystal, a bartender, whom
he shot as the result of a quarrel. His
counsel gave notice that the case
would be appealed to the supreme
court and, that failing, an effort would
be made to secure his pardon by the
governor.
Keerl is well connected, being a,
son-in-law of a wealthy resident of
this city. He is a civil and mining
engineer of note. The crime was
committed while he was under the
influence of liquor.
The story that stick of dynamite
had been found on the Northern Pa
cif1c tracks near Butte yesterday grew
out of the finding of fuse on the
track by the crew of a train. No dyna-
mite was found, and no attempt has
been made in that vicinity to destroy
railway property.

THE MISSOURI FRONTIER
General Carlin a Conspicuous Figure
Back in the Seventies.

death of General W. P. carlin, re-
tired, recalls some of the interesting
early history of the frontier, with
whose pacification and early settle
ment he was intimately connected.
He was in command at Fort Mexican,
the original site of Fort Lincoln, in
1872 and 1873 There was at that time
a line of frontier forts all along the
Missouri river, they being necessary
to protect the advance guard Of pio-
neers who settled the then far-west-
ern country Fort Yates, Fort Rice,
Fort Mexican, Fort Buford, Fort Ste
venson and other posts were Ravens
of refuge and protection for early set
tiers.
Fort Mexican antedated Bismarck's
settlement, and the present capital Of
North Dakota was then 'EdWinton'
and located near the "Otter Crossing"
Of the Missouri. Fort Mexican was
not infrequently attacked by hostile
Sioux in those early days. The name
of the fort was changed to Fort Lin
coin, whence many important from
tier expeditions set out in the fol-
lowing years. General Carlin was a
property owner in Bismarck.
Bids have been advertised for for
the installation of a water purifica-
ton plant at Fort Lincoln. The fort
has a complete system of water sup
ply. The quantity of mineral solids
in the water is, however, excessive,
and plans have been prepared for a
publication plant.
The impression is growing that
there will be no extra session of the
legislature, altho nothing official has
been given out by the governor.
The controversy regarding the
amount of available funds in the
school and institution funds of the
state seems to have been settled with
the recent explanation of Deputy
Treasurer Cook that there is a total of
about 100000 available for invest
ments in the approved securities.
The citizens committee has raised
almost enough funds to complete the
purchase Of the site for the govern
ment Indian school.
