REDUCED TFLEGRAPHIC RATES.
Lewist0wn Connected With the
Western Union at Great Falls.
Cor Sale,

On July 1st the Lewistown Tele-
phone company established direct con-
nection with the Western Union COM
pany al Great Falls and from that
date will be treated as a Western
Union office. This move on the part
of the local company will be hailed
with great satisfaction by the busi-
ness men of Lewistown and residents
of the Judith basin generally, as it
will reduce the cost of telegraphic
communication with the outside world
little more than 20 per cent. This
Is mainly due to the sweeping reduce
tion put into effect by the local COM
pany between Lewistown and Great
Falls, which will amount to more than
SO per cent. The prevailing price,
prior to July l from this point to
Great Falls, was so cents for mes
sage of 10 words, while the charge un-
der the new schedule is but 25 cents,
with cents per word for messages
over 10 words. instead of cents per
word as formerly charged. resident
operator will also be installed in the
office here as soon as the necessary
apparatus arrives.

ful Accident With EireCraCker.

w. W. Dickinson, the we'll known
representative of the blue Line"
met with a most painful accident
while assisting some friends to set off
some fire works in front of the Hoff-
man house Monday evening
Mr.. Dickinson had lighted a large
canon cracker but thought that the
fuse was not burning and started to
light another match. While he was
getting the match, the cracker ex-
ploded in his right hand, frightfully
lacerating that member. A doctor
was Immediately summoned and the
hand was dressed. Mr. Dickinson suf-
fered severely from the injury all
night but today the pain has ceased
somewhat. The full extent of the in
jury cannot yet be determined but the
many friends of the popular railroader
hope that he will suffer no more than
| temporary i'll results from the unfor-
tunate accident

BANK ROBBERS AT BELT.
Dynamite is Used But Booty Secured
is Small.

The Bank of Belt was burglarized
last Friday night sometime between
midnight and morning apparently by
experts, who We're thoroughly onto
their business, SO far as safe cracking
is concerned; though the reward
which met their labor must have been
disappointingly small.
Entrance was gained to the bank
by picking out the wall at the rear of
the building and the safe was blown
open with nitro glycerine. The ex-
plosion which must have followed was
so nicely calculated that the door of
the safe was blown out in such a man.
ner as to give the burglars access to
the upper part of the safe, where the
silver was kept. This amounted to
between 5000 and $500. The lower
chamber of the safe, which contained
the currency and gold, was left intact
Either the burglars were unaware of
the valuable contents of this portion
of the safe or got frightened away be-
fore they completed their job. This
latter theory is borne out by the fact
that they left their tools on the prem
ises.
Nothing was known of the burglary
till the cashier came to the bank Sat
urday morning. No explosion was
heard by anyone during the night,
and as there is an all night saloon just
across the street. the noise made by
the explosion in the vault must have
been very light or cleverly muffled.

f. S. WeidenbOrner Very RetiCent.
However. Concerning Develop
ments on BuIldrd Property.
LET'S CONTRACT FOR A SHAFT
Company Will Sink -Four Hundred
Feet and Thoroughly Explore
Property in That Manner.

F. S. Weidenborner, president of the
Queen Gold Mining and Milling COM
pany, was in this city last Thursday
and while here paid a visit to the Of
much surprise that the Democrat
should have secured such an excel
lent description Of the big strike which
his company recently made on the
the Bullard property as every en-
deavor was made to keep the result
of the diamond drill work a close Sc
cret for several weeks.
When asked as to the correctness of
the article Mr.. Deidenborner denied
only that portion which related to the
sale of the property to one Of the 9TH
er companies, the Kendall Mining
company, in fact.
He said that there is no further
need in trying to keep the matter se-
cret as there is no stock Of the COM
pany on the market and that the pres
ent owners fully intend to operate the
property themselves. In substantial
ton of this assertion, he stated that a
tentative contract had been entered
into between himself and z. S. Ken
ney,, at present employed by the Ken
dali Mining company, for 40O-foot
shaft on the property, the contract
price being SIS per foot. This shaft
will be sunk about equal distance
| from all three of the holes which have
! been sunk with the diamond drill and
after a depth of 400 feet is reached,
the company will drift in three direc-
tions on the ore body, thus determn-
| ing definitely it's size.
The rumor that the Kendall people
| are negotiating for the property per-
| sistently refuses to down Superin-
| tendent H. H. Lang of the Kendall
| company left last Thursday morning
for Spokane. Mr.. Weidenborner left
| on the same train, ostensibly for st.
| Paul to see his associates with refer
ence to the letting of contracts for
further development work, but it is
believed by many that he accompani-
|
announcement 0f some sort of a deal
is likely to be announced within a
couple of weeks.
1t is no longer any secret that the
find is a splendid one. If it proves to
be as extensive as the diamond drill
indicates, there is but little doubt but
that there will be a big mill erected
on the property within twelve months
The news, first given in the Demo
crat. of the big strike created a de-
cided sensation in Kendall and has
stimulated interest in mining and
| prospecting to a greater heighth than
| has ever been known. Every foot of
available ground has been taken ur
and numerous plans are being made
for doing a great deal of work on all
sides of the North Moccasin noun
| tains.

LewistoUn team tried to entertain
the Moore aggregation but made a
lamentable failure of the job. 1t was
the most decisive defeat ever suffered
by the Lewistown aggregation on the
ball grounds. The Moore boys had
on their playing togs and put up an
excellent article of the national game;
whereas the Lewistown players We're
absolutely useless at the bat or in the
field. Sherman started off to pitch
for Lewistown and was going well un-
til several rank errors let in five runs.
He then voluntarily went out and
Taylor went in. He met with the
same fate that discouraged Sherman
and number of runs We're made from
his delivery. Ralph Tavenner pitched
the game for Moore and was particu-
larly effective. In the first inning the
visitors got three runs but were un-
able to bet a man across the plate
thereafter, the final score being Il to
5.
The other sports We're most inter-
esting, cash event being hotly con-
tested. The train came through be-
fore the races We're completed and
large part of the crowd left.
Not an accident or unpleasant in
cident of any sort happened to mar
the pleasure of the day. The wind
was somewhat disagreeable ana
shower or two threatened to put a
damper on proceedings but they did
not diminish the continuous celebra-
ton of the day. 1t is estimated that
over a thousand people We're in town
during the day.
