Legislators at Helena.
, FORT BENTON, MONT,--A scheme for
the division Of Choteau county into three
counties has been sprung and delegations
from Havre and Chinook are at the capitol
urging their claims. It is purposed to
make one county off the east end Of the
present county, to be known as Belknap,
with Chinook as the county seat, and to
take another off the northwest corner to
be known as Bearpaw county. with Havre
as county seat, the remaining portion to
be Choteau county, with Fort Benton as
its seat, as at present.
Citizens of Fort Benton realized that a
division must come at some time, but are
not satisfied with this one and have sent
representatives to Helena to protest
against it. C1oteau is one of the Oldest
counties in the state and has been in
cluded in almost every judicial district
