HORSES KICK
PROVES FATAL
W. G. Learmonth of Upper Cotton
wood Dies From the Effects of
an Unfortunate Accident.
DECEASED A NEWCOMER HERE
Moved to Fergus County From Gala
tin County Last May, Having
Purchased the Hawson Ranch.

w. G. Learmonth, OF Upper Cotton
wood, died this morning about four
o'clock from the effects Of being kick
ed by a horse yesterday afternoon at
four O'Clock. The accident occurred
on the ranch of Mr.. Learmonth about
IL or 10 miles from this city. The
exact circumstances connected with
the fatal injury to Mr.. Learmonth
could not be learned this morning,
but it appears that he was doing his
usual work about the barnyard when
a horse blonging to one of his chill
dren and generally considered very
gentle. kicked him with full force in
the chest.
The injured man was taken into the
house by members of his family and
DR.. Stoll, of this city, was summoned.
On the way out the doctor himself
met with an accident and was delay.
ed some time in getting there. When
within about four miles Of the Lear
month ranch his cutter was overturn-
ed. The doctor was thrown out and
the horses ran away, smashing the
cutter to pieces. DR.. Stoll was some
what bruised, nevertheless, got up and
walked the remainder of the distance
to the house of his patient. He found
Mr.. Learmonth still unconscious but
suffering greatly.
An examination showed that the
ribs had been torn loose from the
breast bone, the stomach badly injur.
ed and that peritonitis had already
set in. The doctor could do no more
than make the injured man easy and
alleviate the pain as much as posi-.
BILE until his death, which occurred
at four o'clock this morning. He was
unconscious until the time Of his
death and all of his family were in
Inc house when the end came.
The deceased was about so years
of age and has been a resident OF
Fergus county since June last. AT
that time he purchased the Hawson
ranch on Upper Cottonwood, n OF
the noted farms Of this county. He
lived in Gallatin county near Bel
grade before coming to Fergus coun.
ty. He leaves a wife and three chill
dren to mourn his untimely demise
Undertaken George Creel left this
morning for the Learmonth ranch
with a casket.
The funeral will be held at the
Presbyterian church Friday at 2:3C

ANOTHER TRAIN ARRIVED.
Five Trains In a Month is the Rec
ord-F reiuht Held Back.


Considerable of a sensation was Gre
ated in Lewistown about Oils this
morning when a train arrived over the
rusting rails of the Montana railroad.
The train consisted of two engines
with a snow pillow, one heater and two
passenger coaches carrying company
employees and two or three passen-
gers.
The arrival of this train makes up
the record for a month, during which
time five trains have arrived, one on
the 9Th. two on the 9th, one on the
18th and n today. Only two of these
have brought freight. which is now in
great demand. The train which left
here Tuesday, the 18th. was at Gar
neill until Monday and this morning
is reported at Leadboro, where il Is
likely to remain indefinitely-so re-
ports E. w. King. who is an out
going passenger.
Sheriff Slater has been patiently
waiting for an opportunity to take
out Flynn, two crazy men and one
prisoner for Meagher county, but
from inquiries made this morning. has
about decided to take no chances on
starting at once, not desiring to be
laid up in a snowdrift with such com
pany for a week or more.
The resulting injury TO business
cannot be estimated. Practically all
the travel in and out OF Lewlstown for
six weeks has been over the stage
lines. express and freight has been
..eld up for weeks at a time and the
mails greatly delayed until the Off
Gals gave up the attempt to trans.
port it over the railroad and turned
all by way OF Great Falls.

have been prevented. but there are a

Pac,nc I.as, ..-S.r-.

Unofficial estimates put the annual
cut Of lumber and shingles OF the
three Pacific iatcs at i,6O0.0O0.000
feet, Of which California supplies $780,
100000 feet. Oregon I4O,OCO,OOO feet
and Washington 2~,3oO000,O00 feet. AT
this rate II is calculated that the for
ests OF the Pacific roast will be ex-
hausted in forty years. Shipments by
water alone nj Seattle were 5Gi.472,s0i
feet OF lumber in 1892 and 506.9G4, 749
feet in 1901. In 1902 rail shipments to
the interior amounted TO 562. 175,0O0
feet and In 1901 to 3G4,53o,0OO feet.
Portland, Ore. shows a traffic toward
the interior by rail ranking next to
Seattle in importance. In the calendar
year 1900 1886 cars Of lumber were
shipped from that port, 1877 in 1901

Benjamin Smith Thomas was born in

had spent the whole of a strenuous life
10 that community; his ancestors. were
among the earliest settlers here when
the Indian title was coded in the first
decade Of the last century, and they
filled a prominent part in the official
life Of the county, which az gratified

him with no resources but his energy
and integrity. but with these as a
capital he not only amassed fortune,
but he dispensed an unostentatlous
hospitality and charity which thou
sands Will gratefully remember.
In the employment Of his talent he
was actuated by no selfish motive;
ne used his best efforts for the up
building of the, community, and was
always ready with brain and purse, to
promote every enterprise for the public
good whether social, moral, eaucation

He was always faithful and con-

The SEN

A good many Democrats Of Maury
county are of the opinion that the
agreement entered into at the Hohen-
wald Democratic convention CT 1902 is
not binding upon this county IN regard
10 the next State Senator from this dis
trict. and IL now seems certain that
Mr.. Fred Schubert, who has received
the nomination as the Lewis county
candidate. will have opposition from
Maury. Ii IL doubtful If the hand
full of committeeman who represented
Maury county at the Hohenwald meet
ing had the right to make the piedI es
they did for Maury county. We
heartily endorse the statement OF
Editor Lander of the Columbia Herald
that lit Is a matter of very small
moment where the candidate comes
from; put 1t is matter of very great
moment what he stands for" II the
candidate De from Maury, Perry or
Lewis, aud is good man for the
place and stands for those things de-
sired by the majority OF the people OF
the district. he should receive the
Democratic nomination regardless
OF county lines. But if the candidate
be lined up with the saloon element;
IT ne be incapable of representing his
important district in credItable
manner, 1t 10 then the voters privi-
lege to bring out opposition to defeat
HIM. The few Democrats OF Maury
county who were sent to Hohenwald
last year to select candidate in
the last race for Senator had nothing
VIII j tever to do with the election of
a CANDIDATE for this year, for 1906 and
for later years, and they were not en-
powered by reason OF their office as
committeeman TO enter into any agree
ment which would be binding on |
MaurY county Democrats in this or
any future selection OF a candidate
for this important Office.
The main issue in the election of
Senator from this district Will neces-
sarily be drawn IN lines OF the Adams
Law and an extension thereof to
towns the size OF Columbia, and any
effort to turn the issue to the Bate
and Mcmillan contest will un-
questionably prove a failure. The
latter question should be left entirely
to the voice of the Democrats of the
entire district, and the candidate re-
ceiving the nomination should act with
instruction from the voters Ut the
1lstrict. 1t Is given out that Mr.
Schubert favors Mr.. Bate, and that
be received the Lewis county nomi- {
nation on that account. Ii this be
rue, and supposlng that both Maury
md Perry favor Mr.. Mcmillan, Mr..
Schubert has begun his race opposing g
he greater portion of his district.
