George Stafford is now installed In
his ley store on Fourth avenue, his

ing and an excellent location.
The past week has been a cold and
\ stormy one throughout this section.
/ The coolest recorded by the Lewis
town wather observer was ten de-
grees below on Monday and Tuesday
nights of last week, while the warm
est was thirty degrees above on the
22nd and cath. Last night at 6
o'clock the thermometer registered

Z. c. j. Holland, who is in the city
this week, and who took out his first
citizenship papers. is interested in
! the New Mines Sapphire Syndicate,
which owns the best sapphire mine in
the world, the famous Yogo mine in
this county. He was a member of a
famous Scotch regiment in the Boer
war and served from the beginning to
the end of that %sanguinary conflict.
He has travelled the world over and
is a most entertaining talker. He ex-
poets his family from the east in a
little while and after remaining In
this county for a short time they will
go to southern California for the re.
mainder OF the winter.
The Wcydert ranch, owned by p.
c. Woydcrt, and located about two
miles west of town. was sold last Sat
urday TO V. Hruska, of ColfaX
~, Neb. The consideration was SILL
00O cash and the deal was negotiated
by Frank Strouf. The Weydert ranch
is n OF the best known places in
Fergus county. II was located in 1881
by Paul Weydert. contains $50 acres
of good ranch and grass and has al.
ways been a money maker for its
owner. II is al present under lease
To Robert Morrison, the dairyman.
His lease will expire April LIST. when
the new owner will take possession.
When II becomes known that Pete
Weydert has an additional bank ac-
count of 81 600. and II is remember
ed that he is in many other ways a
very eligible bachelor, he will prob
ably take to the tall timber until leap
year is passed.
Il Many jurors from the outside have
arrived In the city today TO be ready
for the jury term of the district court
which opens in the morning. The
present term promises to last from
three weeks TO a month, though the
jury may get through In less time.
The two cases of general interest
which are coming up for trial are the
Flynn and Hewitt cases. The Flynn
case will be called first and il is es.
timated by the court that four days
will be required for it's trial. Every
point will be sharply contested and
; neither side will overlook an Oppor.
tunity TO gain an opening. None the
= less interesting will be the Hewitt
case. Hewitt is the man who came so
. near finishing Chris SWAMI. the Utica
|. blacksmith. John c. Huntoon is Hew-
{ tits attorney and will make a stif
E fight for acquittal. The various cases
will require the attendance of a large
. number of witnesses, so the next two
t. or three weeks will probably be live
ly mes in Lewistown.
