His Last Hope Realized.

Gebo, Montana, Sentinel: In the
first opening of Oklahoma to settlers
in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
April. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim
he encountered much bad water which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful, The season for
bowel disorders being at hand sug-

said who helped right the wagon,
which was thrown into the air free
ing the team which tore madly up
the street westward the doubletrees
and singletrees flying into the air and
then falling back striking the
animals heels and rendering them
more frantic. After several attempts
to head them off they finally turned
at the bridge and headed north where
they were soon cornered and brought
back to the elevator. With the
exception Of the tongue and hounds
no great damage was done.

When the court convcres tomorrow

to be raised for settlement by the
court will be who. under the law. arc
the contestants and who are the pro-
ponents. This will have to be deter
mined. first of all, as the decision will
carry with 1t the right OF the party's
attorneys to open and close the argu-
ment. and have the first examination
of the jury panel. Senator Patterson
has set his mind on making the clos
ing argument. and will insist that the
burden OF proof for the admission Of
the Stratton will to probate rests with
the executors named in that document.

Although I. Harry Stratton is con-
testing the will. 1t is possible that the
contention of the other side will not
be gainsaid. for the present. at any
rate. in view of the legal advantages

both passenger and freight service and
it is also authoritatively stated that II
is only a question of short time UNI
til the shops now located at Ration
New Mexico. will be moved to this
city. The visit OF Third Vice Presi-
dent J. NJ. Kcndrick and General Man
ager II. U. Nudge of the Santa Fe to
this city lends color to the latter re-
port and the former is now absolutely
certain.
For some time the company has
been Experimenting here with n view
to making this city freight terminus
and the experiment has proven entire
ly satisfactory.
The completion Of the new Harvey
eating house. which will be opened in
about thirty days. is favorable indi-
cation that 1t is likely the passenger
service will be changed about the time
the hotel is completed.
That the Santa Fe has long contem-
plated bringing its shops here is well
known. and 1t was only delayed in do
ing so because the company and city
could not agree on terms.
