SUES FOR DAMAGES.
Craig Wool Grower Lost Stock by
CareIessness of the Railroad

Craig Wool Grower Lost Stock by
Carelessness OF the Railroad.
Benjamin f. Stickney, the Craig
wool grower, commenced an action in
the district court yesterday to recov.
er from the Great Northern Railway
company and the Montana Central
Railway company the sum of s4,675..
10 for damages alleged to have been
sustained in March. 1902, by the neg.
ligence of the defendant companies in
transporting train load of sheep from
Craig to Chicago within the regular
schedule time, some of the sheep hav.
ing died from exposure to the extreme
cold and others becoming emaciated
from lack of feed and care so that
their market value was greatly reduc.
ed.
There are four counts to the COM
plant, each specifying certain num-
ber of sheep consigned to certain par
ties in Chicago. II is alleged that the
sheep were delivered to the Montana
Central Railway company on March
25, 1902, in a sound and marketable
condition, with the express under.
standing that the railway company
was to transport them to Chicago In
the same condition within a period of
four days. 1t is alleged that the COM
pany wrongfully. willfully, negligently
and improperly kept and detained the
sheep in the yards and pens at Craig
for two days, exposing them to the ex-
treme cold, from which some of them
died, and that the train was negli-
gently detained en- route to Chicago
from st. Paul, and that the sheep were
not delivered in Chicago until April
10.

torneys for the plaintiff.

feet on the Democrats, who discuss
the future campaign among themselves
with evident apathy.
A prominent official Of the treasury
department said this evening: The
unqualified expressions OF approval
which President Roosevelt has receiv.
ed from states controlling far more
than a majority of the votes in the
next convention. a full year in ad-
vance of the time when the nomina-
tion will be actually before the peo-
pie. are one of the most remarkable
testimonials ever received by pres
ident OF the United States. The Re-

its long established precedent and
give to President Roosevelt a second
term
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1903-06-17


From these figures II will be seen
that there is grand total of 1870
votes pledged to Mr.. Roosevelt. New
Jersey is not enumerated In the above
lists, but In the opinion OF good
judges New Jersey will take the first
available occasion to come into line
with unanimous delegation. Indi-
ana Is not enumerated because her
state chairman has said that she was
for Fairbanks first, last. and all the
time" Complimentary as this state
ment is to Senator Fairbanks, and
sincere as is the admiration for the
senator which induced II. II Is believ-
ed that Mr.. Fairbanks will insist that
the president when the time comes for
the convention, and the delegation
will doubtless be guided by his wish.
A dispatch from Indianapolis received
In Washington yesterday quotes Sen.
ator Fairbanks as saying:
so far as | know there will be no
opposition TO President Roosevelt in
Indiana. The president will be In
dorsed."
North Dakota is another state which
has not yet voiced It's sentiment. but
there is probably no state In the un.
ion in which President Roosevelt is
more popular, and II may be safely
counted upon to throw It's solid vote
in his favor. as may every other west
ern state. These three states togoth-
er would add sixty.two more votes to
the Roosevelt majority, were there 10
be only a majority vote.
Postmaster General Payne said yes
terday: Il have no doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be nominated u
succeed himself by acclamation. Ger
tainly, II the expressions OF state con
yentions and state chairmen mean
anything they mean that the president
will be the overwhelmingly popular
choice of the convention. and IL does
not take half prophet to see that
he will be elected by an extraordinary
majority
There Is no discounting the fact
that the action of the conventions of
year ago. or, In fact. those OF this
wear. is not actually binding on the
delegations which will attend the ma
tional convention a year hence. New

BROAD KNOCKED OUT.
AureIio Herrera, the Little Mexican,
Easily the Winner at Butte.


Butte, June 13.-Aurelio Herrera,
the Mexican, tonight knocked out Kid
Broad in the fourth round of what
was to have been a 20-round go, be.
fore 1000 people in the Broadway
theatre. Broad apparently was help
less against the tactics Of the Mexi-
can and his rushes were nfet by that
impregnable and peculiar guard of
the Bakersfield lad. At the opening
of the gong Herrera assumed an up
right position and the greater part OF
the first round was spent by the fight
ers in feinting and dancing about the
ring. In the second round Broad be-
came aggressive and proceeded to mix
matters with the Mexican, who doub-
led himself up into knot and allow.
ed Broad to exhaust himself In fli-
tile rain of blows upon the shoulders
and arms of the Mexican. Broad
would make almost frantic efforts to
break down the guard Of Herrera.
Herrera struck but few blows during
the second round and apparently was
studying the Kid and waiting for an
opening. Herrera played for Broad's
stomach and with change of Kids
guard succeeded in getting a wallop
on the jaw of the Kid that staggered
him for moment.
Broad came up in the third round
extremely cautious of the Mexican,
and though willing to mix 1t at any
stage of the game, he broke ground
before the boring in Of the Mexican
Broad in this round succeeded in land.
ing light left on Herrera's jaws, but
the blows were light and ineffeticve
Broad landed blow after blow on
the Mexican's ribs, and pounded the
back of his head, but the Mexican
came out Of the mix up smiling. Broad
rushed Herrera and received two short
arm jabs. At the close of the third
round It was evident as to the result
In the fourth Herrera started In with
the apparent purpose of finishing his
man and bored in. Broad retreated
around the ring several times. when
Herrera, with hard right ~ the .aw
sent Broad to the floor for the count
of eight. Broad regained his feet on
ly to go down again under another
right swing to the jaw. The third
time the game Cleveland lad arose
he was sent to the floor. down and
out before a left to the head, follow
ed by terrific right swing to the jaw
This is the first time In his career
of log battles that Broad has been gi7
en- a knockout of sufficient force tc
render him unconscious. For sever

favorite at the ringside at odds Of 81

Portland. Ore, June l5.-F'ollowing
cloudburst a wall OF water 90 feet
high rushed down the gulch OF vii
low creek at dusk yesterday and
drowned half Of the 1850 inhabitants
OF Heppner. Ore.
The furious water carried the resi-.
dents OF Heppner away. So great
was the force of the water that bould-
ers weighing ton were rolled along
the gulch. crushing everything in their
path Wires, bridges and rallrads
were swept away and complete r.
ports have not yet been received.
The most trustworthy reports To-
night say that the loss Of life at Hepp-
ner will be about 500. though the nuiI-
ber OF dead is probably larger. A
report from lone. II miles from Hepp-
ner. says that 300 bodies have been
recovered.
The food came with such sudden
ness that the inhabitants were unable
to seek places OF safety and we're
carried down to death by the awful
rush OF water. Some Of the business
part of Heppner. which is on high
ground, escaped.
As soon as possible after the flood
subsidized the work of relief was begun
by the survivors. Dozens OF bodies
were found lodged along the bends of
the stream and in several places they
were piled two or three deep. Up to
2 O'Clock this afternoon 200 bodies had
been recovered within the town.
Many OF the buildings which were
not carried away were moved from
their foundations or toppled over.
Hundreds Of horses. cattle, sheep and
hogs. that had gone into the creek
bottoms for water, perished.
AS soon as possible news was sent
by couBler TO nearby towns asking for
relief Of the stricken people. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany started a relief train from the
Dalles shortly after noon with a party
OF 100, including three doctors, four
nurses and supplies OF all kinds.
At 1880 O'Clock this afternoon a re.
hef train with doctors and supplies
started for the scene from Portland.
The citizens OF Portland started a re-
lief fund as soon as the news OF the
disaster spread over the city and with
ing a few hours $1,000 was raised.
Fifteen buildings in Lexington, nine
miles below Heppner, on Willow creek,
were washed away. but no loss of life.

Notes of the Day.
The buildings of Kendall were ap.
propriately adorned in bunting and
flags In honor Of the day. One of the
most notable decorations was the flag
and bunting which adorned the hoist
up at the Barnes-King. Being high
up above the city It was conspicuous
and attractive.
A large number of the visitors re-
mained over in Kendall all night, and
some were sorely pressed for a pillow
whereon to lay their weary heads.
The hotels were filled to the limit, but
the citizens came to the rescue and
helped to stow away the crowds.
While returning home Saturday af-
ternoon bolt came out of the single
tree of the buggy Occupied by II. R.
Watson, Marion Leach and Harry Kel-
ly, OF the Argus 'foorce," and there
was Immediately something doin'.
The horses kicked, the tongue fell
down, the buggy turned over and it
took the boys some moments to un-
tangle themselves from each other.
Fortunately they escaped with slight
bruises and were all able to be back
to work Monday. One of the horses
ran into a wire fence and was quite
badly cut, but is getting along very
well now. The buggy was consider
ably segregated.

DISASTROUS
CLOUDBURST
Thousands of Dollars Loss Result
From a Downpour Near Park
City in Yellowstone County.
HUNDREDS LOST IN OREGON
Little Mountain Town Swept Away
and Over Half Of the 1900 In.
habitants Are Drowned.

Billings, June IA cloudburst in
the western end OF the county last
evening about o'clock has resulted
in many thousands dollars damage
to the ranchmen and the Northern
Pacific railroad. as well as an irrlgat-
ing ditch company.
The cloudburst was part of the
storm that hung over this city yes
terday afternoon for about an hour and
which looked quite serious for time,
but Il seems TO have broken and pass
ed over Billings. So great was IL
between Columbus and Park City that
nearly a mile of track was washed
out for the Northern Pacific just east
of Columbus and bridge swept away,
delaying traffic until this afternoon.
IL was necessary TO call the pile driv-
cr and track repairing crew from
Glendive TO the scene In addition TO
the one from Livingston.
Last night word was received in
Billings of the damages and several
cars Of cinders and timbers were sent
from here to assist in the work of re-
pair. The passenger trains for the
east due in the night were held here
until noon today. when thy went out
TO Park City, where they remained
until the damage was repaired suffi.
iently to permit the passage of trains.
The cloudburst also did serious dam
age to the Big Ditch company's prop
erty just west of Park City. The val
ley creek flume, $50 feet long. 25 feet
wide and 6 feet deep. was entirely
swept away, entailing loss of $4,000
and delaying the work OF irrigation
in the valley at least ten days. and
this also means a great loss to the
ranchmen, depriying them OF the wa
ter for their grain fields.
Superintendent Z. B. Searles Of the
Big Ditch company came to Billings
this morning and ordered several car
loads of lumber to be used in repair
ing the fumes. He says the fiume was
struck square by the cloudburst, for
IL was carried to the railroad, one
half mile away. His advices from that
point this morning at IL o'clock were
that the water had not receded enough
to permit work to begin on the new
fiume.
John Greenwood. of Park City, rid.
er for the Italian Ditch company. met
with a narrow escape from death. He
had started out yesterday afternoon
to ride the ditch when he was oyertak-
en- by the storm. He dismounted from
his horse and took refuge In tree.
which he left later for position on
the headgate of the ditch. where he
had TO remain all night, and was on

late this forenoon by a rescuing party.
Oliver Basset. Of Park City. is re-
ported to have lost nearly $500 head

the water and drowned. The sheep

north of Park City. were swept away,
