THE DEERFILD COLONY

Arrangements for the sale of the
famous Bank ranch has been COM
pleted between the proprietors, Waite.
Elliot & Peck, and the well known
real estate man, Vac!av Pulec, of this
city.
Mr.. Pulec proposes to start colony
of settlers on this beautiful land, and
surely more suitable place for this
purpose could not be found in the
whole country. This property consists
of 5000 acres of rich bottom land,
which is covered by an inexhaustible
supply of water from Warm Spring
creek. A piece of 10 or 20 acres is
enough even for large family, if
properly handled. E. D. Barney, who
for several years past is gardening on
such land in that neighborhOod. writes
that he received for vegetables and
fruits raised on 20 acres Of ground,
$4,l93.O5 during the past season 1904.

they were badly dressed and suffer
ing from the cold.
The japanese report that 500 Rus
SLAMS We're taken prisoners during the
Sandepas operations is untrue, and
the Japanese losses greatly exceed
the Toxic estimates of the Russian
losses, because in their advance over
the frozen ground it was impossible
Tor the Japanese to entrench. The re-
port that Gen. Kuropatkin received
orders from ST. Petersburg to advance
on account of the internal conditions
in Russia is also untrue The fighting
was inaugurated independently, and
the operations could have assumed
important dimensions only in case OF
the success of their primary object, the
capture of Sandepas.

FINAL CALL
GEORGE w. CULLiSON, A WELL
KNOWN PIONEER OF MON.
TANA, PASSES AWAY.

Gilt Edge, Feb. Another pioneer
is gone. Geo. w. Cullison died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. T. E. Nc
koln, at their ranch near Gilt Edge,
at 2 p. m. Jan. 80, 1905, after long
and painful illness of cancer. Mr.. Gull
lison was born near Baltimore, Md,
Aug. 16, 1915. In 1856 he came to St.
Joe, Mich, where he married Miss
Adeline Burton April, 1887. Mrs. Gull
lison died in Helena about seven years
ago at the age of 50. Two daughters
were born to Mrs. and Mr.. Cullison,
Mrs. T. E. McKoin, of Gilt Edge, and
Mrs. Hattie Hamilton, or Butte, Mont
In 1845 he moved to Iowa with his fam
lily, and in 1860 to Colorado. In April
1864, he came to Bannack City, Mont,
and in 1865 to Helena, where he resid-
ed until September, 1900, when he
came to Fergus county to reside with
his eldest daughter, Mrs. T. E. Nc
Koin. Mr.. Cullison was an honorable,
upright, conscientious man, who al
ways attended to his own affairs. He
was highly esteemed among his old
friends and neighbors, of Helena. He
was member of the Society of Mon
tana Pioneers and member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and was
particular friend of Rev. Van Ors-
del. Had he lived until August next,
he would have reached the ripe old
age of 80 years. The last time he
was in Gilt Edge was to vote for Pres
ident Roosevelt and Governor Toole,
as he was particular friend of the
governor. He leaves two daughters,
seven grandchildren and eleven great
grand children. The remains were
brought to Gilt Edge, where services
were held by Rev. Winters, of Lewis
town. The pail bearers were William
Pott, Hugh Green, A. Schneider, ]. w.
Rodgers, V. Caraway and Chas. Will
liams. 1nterment was in the Gilt
Edge cemetery. The remains will be
moved later to Helena and buried be-
side his wife. A large number of peo-
pie assembled to pay their last re-
spects to the departed. The family
has the sympathy of the community.
Jas. Tyler, of Rocky Point, is in
town after load of supplies. Mr.
Tyler Is postmaster at Rocky Point
and has been for the last twenty
years. and has been trying for some
time to get rid of the job, as he has

err down the river. He says stock is
