MUST PAY OR vAcATE.
Plight in Which Carbon County
Rancher Finds Himself.

In Red Lodge dispatch further
information is contained concerning
the recent visit to that place by the
agent and other officials of the Grow
agency. The particular object of their
trip was to look after the rights OF
woman OF the Grow tribe to par
eel of land on Red Lodge creek, few
miles from the town.
1t is said that the woman claims
the land under the allotment privilege
and that she has never surrendered
her right 10 it. Notwithstanding this
a man named Aaron HI. Davis is occu.
pying it and has made improvements
upon it aggregating several thousand
dollars. He was informed by the Of
ficers that he would have to move off
the land, as it was the intention OF
the government to, protect the rights
of the squaw in every possible man
ner.
The claim is made that Davis is
simply squatter ,as the woman has
not relinquished her allotment and
that unless he can make settlement
with her he will have to vacate the
ranch and forfeit all the improvements
he has made, valued at about $4,000.
Under the impression that his title
to the land was valid Dovis built a
handsome residence and other struc-
lures costing considerable money.
According to the dispatch the wo-
man is willing to take $4,000 in set
tlement of her claim and it is believed
that Davis will pay the amount, rather
than give up the land

MAKING SURVEYS.
Government Engineers investigating
Matter Of Illegal Fencing.

government Engineers InveStlga atIng
Matter Of illegal Fencing.
Las a result OF the controversies
that have arisen over the alleged il
legal fencing of government lands
hereabouts a party OF surveyors is
now in the field making survey OF
that part of the county in which the
trouble has assumed the most acute
form. A member of the United States
engineering corps is in charge of the
survey, which has been in progress
since last Sunday, the day on which
the party took the field.
It is said that already enough has
been learned to sustain the conten-
tions of those who maintain that much
illegal fencing has been done, although
the work may be said to have been no
more than fairly started. Although
averse 10 talking, it is claimed that
hints have been dropped by some OF
those connected with the survey to
warrant the belief that there will be
something doing" after the job is
completed. Predictions are made
that every foot of the illegal fences
will have to come down and that those
who have been enjoying the fruits
of the wrongful enclosures will find
that hereafter they will have to be
content with simple fencing of such
lands as they own and have under
lease from the state.

is made that there is no likelihood
that default will be made on the bonds,
as the provision for their redemption
is ample and removes all possibility
OF any danger of foreclosure OF the
lien. While this is regarded as very
probable, yet the possibility of de-
fault always exists.
There is still another objection to
the law as it now is. No provision
is made for the creation of fund for
the maintenance OF any system of ir-
rigation the state may build in any
Of the selections it has made. This
is regarded as a material defect by
many and it is this lack of provision
for the future that last winter gave
rise to the agitation started in certain
quarters for an adoption Of the Wy
oming irrigation laws. Under the
laws of that state while the individ-
uals own the lands reclaimed the
state retains possession of the irriga-
ton systems and by means of tax
creates fund for their maintenance.
Upon all these matters the members
formed and all will receive due con-
sideration in the formulation of their
final decision as regards the particular
lands treated OF in this article.

Searles and Jack" Lannon. They
volunteered to search for the body
and rope was stretched across the
river at the place where Kain had
been seen to go down. At either end
was man who held it. Walking out
until the water would get beyond their
depth the two rescuers would dive
and feel for the body. In this way
the bottom OF the river was searched
for some distance, until finally Ian
non felt the body and with the assis-
tance OF SeaTles it was brought to the
surface and taken ashore. Here Doc
tor Rinehart, who had been called,
made tbe usual tests and attempts at
reconstruction. but the last spark OF
life had fed, as the body had been
in the water for fully three hours.
When at last it had been demonstrated
that the boy was dead the body was
placed on a wagon and brought to
town and taken to the home of the
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. Kahn, in
North Twenty-ninth street, between
First and Second avenues.
Coroner Rinehart summoned a jury
and after the members had viewed the
body it was decided to hold the in
quiry the following morning.
Although almost a dozen others had
seen the accident, the coroner thought
it unnecessary to subpoena more than
one witness, Tommy Bouton.
The jury returned verdict OF
drowning near the headwaters of
the Coulson ditch, about 500 yards
above the Northern Pacific railroad
bridge, near Billings, Mont, while try
ing to make his way from a raft to the
Shore"
The funeral OF the unfortunate
youth took place yesterday afternoon
from the Congregational church, SER
vices being conducted by the Rever-
end w. D. Clark. The members OF
the sixth grade of the public schools,
in which the deceased was enrolled,
attended in body, as did also the
Women of Woodcraft and the Lady
Maccabees, to both of which organi-
cations the mother of the boy belongs.
The pail bearers were, o. c. Ovren,
Bert Miller, J. NJ Mcintyre. T. M. Far
mer, D. Me- cod and G.. G. Desmond.
Interment was in the public cemetery.

IRRIGATION BUREAUS REGARD
FOR PROFESSOR FoRTIER.
ASSIGNED TO SPECIAL WORK
Will Have Charge Of Government lr,-
vestigation and Experiments
in California.

years leave OF absence having
been granted Director Fortier Of the
experiment station OF the state agri-
cultural college, the executive board
has created the Office OF vice director
and has appointed Professor Lintield
to fill the position. The work in civil
engineering, which has heretofore
been looked after by Professor For
tier, will fall to Professor Baker who
has been trained under the director
Professor Fortier will spend the
year for which he has been released
in California making Investigations in
irrigation. He believes that the ex-
perience he will gain there will be
of great benefit to him in connection
with his work in Montana. Through
practical experience he has become
familiar with the problems in irriga-
tion that have to be contended with
in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, as
we'll as in this state. In his opinion the
Californians are ahead OF. the people
OF the states named in all matters
pertaining to irrigation and that he
can learn much OF value to be applied
upon his return to Montana.
Among the duties assigned to him
in California, where he goes as the
representative OF the irrigation bu-
reau OF the department. OF agriculture,
is the supervision OF the expenditure
Of something like $4,000 appropriated
for irrigation work by the state and
the national government. He will al
so deliver a series Of lectures on ir-
rigation at the University Of Califor-
mia, besides experimenting the gov
ernment's work in Washington and
Oregon In addition to his multifar-
ious duties ON the coast he will re-
tain direction of the irrigation work
at the experiment station at Boze-
man and will look after the CORE
spondence on that subject
1t was with much reluctance that
the local executive board was pre-
requested leave of absence, but as
there was danger that unless it was
granted he might leave the station
permanently it was decided to com
ply with his wishes. Elwood Mead,
who is the chief of the irrigation bu-
reau OF the general government, has
rr,f
fessor Fortiers services in other
fields. About year ago while at
Bozeman he limited that the professor
as an original worker in the field
of irrigation should be given sphere
of greater usefulness and placed where
his services would be of benefit to
which he has been laboring. Prompt
objection was made to any plan in
volving the professors removal from
the station and college at Bozeman.
AS sort of compromise it was finally
decided to give him the leave of abb
sence upon which he has entered, with
the understanding that he was to re-
turn to Bozeman at its expiration.
OF course, it goes without saying
hat the bureaus selection of Profess
'or Fortier as the man especially well
qualified to discharge the important
IN eloquent expression Of the high
luties now devolving upon him is
egard in which he is held by the
'ficials at Washington. It is con-
eded that as an original investigator
md expert in the field of irrigation
le has few, if any superiors.

LONG LOST KEY.
Missing Piece Of Government Property
Is Recovered.

/
4 Is Recovered.
! After having been lost for about a
| year and it's loss being the cause OF
a man losing good position, key
was recovered in this city a few days
ago in a wholly une1Rected manner.
| The key is the property OF the gov
ernment and it's special use is dedi-
Gated to the postal department. At the
time it disappeared it was in the Gus
/ tody OF a man named Miller, who was
employed as railway mail clerk on
| the Billings-Red Lodge branch OF the
! Northern Pacific railroad. One night
after his return from the other end
| OF the run Miller indulged in little
celebration, during which it is claimed
he also indulged in stimulants to a
degree that rendered him irresponsi.
BILE for his actions. He visited various
resorts on the south side and when
he came to his full senses next morn
ing the key was missing. Report OF
the matter was made and as Miller
, could not account for the key and
! was unable to produce it when de-
mand for it was made he was dismiss
ed the service.
Search for the missing bag unlocker
then abandoned, although agents of the
department continued to bear it in
mind, hoping to recover it some dag.
Last Wednesday it turned up and is
now once more in possession OF the
rightful persons.

brass chain protruding from the pock-
ct of one of the men who are employ
ed to keep the yards and track of the |
company clean. Having until recent
ly been engaged in carrying the mail
between the local postotfice and the |
railroad, he was familiar with postal
as one used in securing mail pouch /
keys and reported his discovery to
Captain Perkins, the inspector. The
latter hunted up the man who had
been seen with the chain and was
rewarded by finding the long miss
ing key which was attached to it. The
man who had them said he found the
chain and key near the place where
Miller's car stood on the night the
clerk had his ."time" and had carried
them ever since. He did not know the
purpose of the key and said he had
been wearing the chain as sort of I
ornament because of it's oddity and I
brightness. AS the man appeared
thoroughly innocent of any evil de-
signs and manifestly was ignorant of
the nature of the "jewelry' he was
permitted to go without molestation.
