Register Brassey and Receiver Ed
ridge. of the u. s. land office at this
place, are OF the opinion that T. A.
Williams, the Yellowstone county
clerk OF the district court. who has
SO mysteriously disappeared, is re-
naming away from Billings of his
own accord and that he will not re-
turn until brought by officers. He
has been very crooked in his trans.
actions In which the local land Office
was concerned and the officers here
were sure that there would be an ac-
counting some day. He has accepted
money from at least one man on the
Musselshell for whom he filed on a
homestead In the land district. but
failed to forward the money to the
land office. When the man came to
advertise for final proof all he had
was a receipt signed by Williams for
the SIG, and as there had been no
record Of his entry filed in the land
Office ne was out just SIG. II is pos.
sible that other similar cases may
come to light In the future.

taken and contemplated, in order to
put the matter In shape for decision
at an early date. The engineer frs,
estimated the cost of construction at
about $l1 900. but material changes

Harlow OF the Montana railroad will
be in Lewistown within a few days
when necessary preliminaries with the
railroad company can be brought to
a conclusion. The trustees believe
that not later than the 10th Of April

such shape that a meeting OF all the
stockholders may be called, at which
time permanent officers will be elect.
