The team, driven by Byers, took

out and, 1t is alleged, struck his victim

had taken from him W. S. bills, a $50

Government Surveying for Prospec-
tive Ditch Near GIendive.

ES
tive Ditch Near Glendive.
John NJ. Kerr and Frank F. Wey-
mouth, two government surveyors OF
the geological department at Wash
ington, have been in the city and vicin-
ity the past week, says the Dawson
County Review, making preparations
ito begin the survey of a large govern
ment ditch to be taken from the Vel
lowstone river at Ferry Point, oppo-
site Fallon, and continued on the
bench lands down the valley to the
Missouri river. The two gentlemen
have been down in the lower valley
studying the topography Of that sec
ton and have purcahesd a team and
outfit here and expect soon to be join
ed by the rest of their party, which
is at present working in Wyoming,
when the survey of the big ditch will
be begun and its practicability de-
termined.
1t will be remembered that Gov
John Lind and ]. G. Swanson
of Minneapolis made Glendive a visit
last spring and also visited the Sec
ton where the proposed ditch is to be
taken from the river. Many at that
time placed a significance upon their
visit and many now attribute the pres
ence Of the surveyors to those gen
tlemen.
When interviewed regarding the
survey MI. Kerr informed a Review
reporter that at present he had moth
ing to give out for publication, but
in a few weeks might be able to fur
nish some valuable information. How
ever, he admitted that he was on a
government survey, the object OF
which is ito find a level for a big ditch
to be taken from the Yellowstone
river.
OF course, the feasibility of the
proposition has not yet been deter
mined, nor will it be for some time,
as the preliminary work has only
begun, but too much importance can
not be attached to the survey, as it is
one of the initial steps of the arid

Dear Sirs: AS agent for the Fulton
Compounds in Billings there are some
facts in the Call Office in this city
that should interest you and the edi-
tor of The Gazette, as well Is news
paper men generally. We copy now
from a letter from Clifford House OF
the Call:
However improbable may cen the
statement that Bright's Disease and
Diabetes are now durable in a great
majority of all cases, it is well within
the province of some of us in the
business department of the Call. to
know that it is true. MI. Edward
Short of this department was given
up by his physicians as a victim of
Diabetes, and is now perfectly well.
The mother of one of the editorial
staff has also recovered from Dia-
betes. This was so conclusive that
l told, a friend, a well-to-do citizen
of Duluth, Mimi, who had Bright's
Disease, and he too recovered"
We will also add that IN ex-supreme
judge, with Offices in the Call building,
is a late recovery. You are authorized
to proclaim to the world that the most
| deadly diseases known, viz: Bright's
Disease and Diabetes, yield to the new
diuretics evolved during experiments
made upon himself by John ]. Fulton
of this city in his memorable and
successful struggle against the raw
ages of Bright's Disease.

ALLEGED SHEEP THIEVES.
Two Arrested and Taken to Red
lodue.

Lodge.
= Wednesday morning Sheriff Potter
of Carbon county was in the city,
en- route to Red Lodge with the men
Grimes and Wood, arrested for sheep
stealing near Columbus, in his Gus
tody. Their capture was effected by
Mr.. Potter and Deputy Sheriff Holt of
this county on Robe creek, about so
miles north of Columbus.
When found the men were driving
"a band of about 1000 sheep, going
in a northerly direction, and travel
ing as fast as possible, presumably
in an effort to reach the Canadian line.
Wood was accompanied by his wife,
while Grimes had a small boy with
him, who assisted in the drive.
Neither one of the men made a show
of resistance, much to the surprise
of the officers, who anticipated trouble
in making the arrests, as it was be-
lieyed they would make a fight.
The sheep said to have been stolen
from the Wescott flock were cut out
and the rest of the band was turned
over to Mrs. Wood and the boy.
Sheriff Potter said that the brands
on the Wescott sheep had been al
tered, but the change having been
made recently he had little trouble
in separating the supposedly stolen
animals from the others.
A mai was left in charge of the
sheep cut out by the officer, with
Instructions to make a closer exami-
nation of the other band, as it was
believed not all of the Wescott sheep
had been recovered.
