3, T. Bowman in the East.

B. T. Bowman. the well known civ.
il war veteran of this city, who left
for the east last winter on an extended
visit, is now at huntsville, New
\ DIRK, and writes to the Argus that he
has spent some time at Westfield
Pa, his old home. He finds the coun-
try greatly changed and says there
is a vast difference between the peo-
pie of the east and those of the great
intermountain country. Mr.. Bowman
who is now with his daughter at
huntsville, expects to leave for Wash
ington about Nov. l, accompanied by
his granddaughter and grandson, and
they will then go on to Florida by
steamer and spend the winter. In the
spring, Mr.. Bowman will go to Gal
weston, Texas, and return to Mon
tana next summer. He says he has
informed numbers of people of the
vast resources of Montana, and tina,
his missionary work will result in a
several parties coming to the treas
ure state. Mr.. Bowman states tina,
he has enjoyed his travels very much
but finds, after all, that there Is nc
place like home and will not regret
when the time arrives for him to turf
again toward Fergus.

AYERS RULING
IS SUSTAINED
ATTORNEY GENERAL GALEN
GIVES OPINION ON SCHOOL
BONDING NATTER.

Before County Clerk Hazen began
to make up his assessment book he
submitted the following proposition to
County Attorney Ayers for an opinion:
THE Utica school district was bond
ed short time ago for sum o,
money for the purpose Of building and
furnishing a school house, said school
house was built and furnished, and at
recent date said district was cut in
two, now does that portion that was
cut therefrom have to help pay that
bOnd?"
County Attorney Ayers advised the
county clerk that the portion cut off
did not have to pay any portion of the
bond, and this opinion was transmit
ted to the clerk of the Utica district,
who was not entirely satisfied with
the ruling. County Attorney Ayers
thereupon wrote Attorney General Gal.
en- for an opinion regarding the mat.
ter, and was very emphatically sus
tanned by that official in the follow.
ing OPINION:
Attorney Generals Opinion.
IF school district is bonded for a
sum of money, said sum being for the
building and furnishing of school
house, and said district is afterward
divided and a new district created out
OF a portion thereof, does the part that
has become the new district have to
help pay said bond?" was the query
propounded to the attorney general by
Mr.. Ayers.
Assuming that in the division OF
| the district the old district retained
the school house, the attorney general
in replying, answers in the neg
alive.
THE bonds were issued against the
old district. The territory out of which
the new district was created ceases
to be part of the old district and can
not be taxed to pay for school house
not situated within the boundaries OF
the new district nor subject to use
by it," says the opinion.
Attorney General Galen says the
opinion is based upon the findings in
the case of Laramie county against
Albany county, 92nd United States re
ports, and the Political codes, section
1854, which does not provide that the
new district shall be liable for any
portion of the old Indebtedness.

THIS SWINDLER
A CLEVER ONE
GETS SECURITIES WORTH $500 900

New York, Oct. 1.-The details of
scheme whereby the National City

clever forger came out today. The

by stranger, who received the Secur-
tiles deposited by Pearl & Company

The bank on which the brokers'
check was drawn is one with which
Pearl a. Company never had an ac.
count, so the forgery was not discov-

through the clearing house exchange,
when it was promptly branded as fic-

was at once called in, and the transfer
of the securities stopped.

check" added Mr.. Stakback, "repre-
sents days interest at Az per cent
AS a matter of fact the loan is record
ed on our books at Az per cent. Clear

of the loan. Yet had it been some one
in our employ the interest would have
been computed at AZ per cent.

Boarders at the Mouton Threaten to

The bOarderS at Mrs. MOultOnS, i'll
view of the fact that co-education and
co-everything else is now the rule,
have entered a strong protest against
separate dining room for the fair sex
and their sentiments are expressed
in the following resolutions and, where
as, prepared by some of the geniuses
of that establishment, and presented
yesterday to Mrs. Moulton.
Whereas, 1t is generally and well
known that certain respective gal
liant and chivalrous gentlemen and
fair, attractive and lovely ladies at
tend upon the table and board of Mrs.
H. A. MoultOn; and,
Whereas, The said Mrs. H. A. Moul-

Whereas, That great statesman,

at once, lament and protest against
continuance of this unreasonable

Resolved, secondly, That we cannot
tolerate continuance of the same,

one with the other and not apart, at
the same table and board.
Resolved, thirdly, That these resolu-

QUEST
IS A FAILURE
WELL KNOWN YOGO COLORE0
WOMAN WILL BE TAKEN TO
GREAT FALLS.

\ Great Falls, Oct. 2.-Advanced in
years and hardly able now to care for
herself, the story of Mile Ringgold,
the pioneer colored woman, still fired
with the ambition to strike it rich,
is pathetic one While she owns
property that may some day become
bonanza, she is about to enter the
county infirmary, near this city and
he looked after as a person in her con-
dition should.
Word was received here several
days ago from Old Yogo, in the east.
ern part of Cascade county, where
the woman has lived for 26 years. that
she was in destitute circumstances
and quite feeble. AS she has but
three neighbors in that sparsely set
tied district, and two of them-Dutch
George and John Steinmetz-are
about to leave for another section of
the state, the authorities deemed it
advisable to have her brought to
Great Falls.
To certain extent she has been
a county charge for some time. Or
ders have been sent to the Utica Mer-
camille company to furnish her with
provisions, the cost of which was not
so great, but doubled the bill after a
delivery of 25 miles through the
rough country from Utica to where
she lived.
Fuel can not be easily supplied
for her, and, fearing that she might
suffer from cold during the coming
winter months, the men who are on
the point of leaving Old Yogo joined
iii the request that she be given bet
ter shelter and a more suitable place
III which to spend her declining years.
Armed with the necessary papers,
Deputy Sheriff Kirschwing will leave
this morning for Old Yogo, which is
fully 10 miles from this city. He
Will make the aged colored woman
as comfortable as possible and bring

A Long Struggle.
For more than a quarter of cen.
fury, Mile Ringgold has lived in the
cheerful hope that sooner or later she
would realize a big fortune from the
treasure she still believes is hidden
in her mining claims. She has always
insisted that gold and copper could
be found there in abundance, but the
continued search was in vain.
The woman went to Old Yogo in
1879, having in her possession, it is
said. $4,000 in gold. This she had
saved by dint of economy and diligent
toll. With part of the money, she
built modest house on the mining
claims she staked out, and the re-
mainder was spent in the effort to
find the elusive gold Through all
these years she has toiled early and
late, being unable at times to make
enough to buy grub" Neighbors
nave assisted her in different ways
In the face of adversely she has been
cheerful, at no time giving up the be-
lief that she would yet be rich.
The woman came to Fort Benton in
the early days. She had been a SER

family, and, upon their arrival at the
then trading post, from long trip
up the Missouri river she started 10
work for herself. For awhile she con.

had at Fort Benton and left there.

still at work on the case, but are not
