BORN-To the wife of Arthur
Broadwater on Sunday, Nov. 5th
1905, baby girl. Mother and daughtel
were doing nicely at last reports.
County commissioner W. E. French
was Havre visitor for several hours
Monday morning. Mr.. French was
returning to his Harlem home from a
business visit to Helena.
A call was made the first of the
week for a general assembling of all
of the superintendents of the Great
Northern system in st. Paul, and
Supt. G. O. jerks left for that city
Monday night,
| Bear Paw Jack Griffen was in town
the first of the week, enroute to his
Clear creek home from a few days
| visit in Chinook. While in the latter
place he matched horse race for 800
a side. Mr.. Griffen made the talk
that his horse "Blar Athol' could
| beat any horse within SO miles of Chi
, nook and put up 500 deposit, which
was covered by Chas. Ross, the veteran
livery man of Chinook. The dates
and place for holding the race have
not been arranged.
A. B. Keith, one of the few remain
ing pioneer newspaper men or rather
editors of Montana, spent Monday in
our city. Mr.. Keith edited the Butte
Daily Miner in the early days, but
was forced to abandon this work on
account of poor health. He has just
returned from months visit in the
east and month in the mountains
IN Jefferson county, where he was
managing mine in which he is inter
ested. Mr.. Keith left for kalispell on
the evening train, where he spoke
upon the Woodmen Of the World. He
has an itinery of 2S places in the
state where he will speak upon the
benefits of this order.
Havre officials are glad that they
are rid of a suspected leper in the
person of one, Wah Lee, native of
the Flowery Kingdom who was arrest
ed by United States Inspector Harris
two months ago, shortly after his
arrival in Hayre, because he did not
have his papers, The Chinaman
was i'll at the time and has remained
sick since. Havre physicians who at
tended him admitted that they could
not exactly define his disease, al
though they did not believe it leporsy.
The officials, however, have been sus-
picious and are glad to be relieved of
their charge. The Chinaman was
taken to Seattle Wednesday night by
Deputy United States Marshal Young
of Helena and it was considered
doubtful whether he would survive
the journey of deportation to his
native land.

WAKE UP CITIZENS!

And do something for your town,
your merchants, your property hold
ers and help to increase the value of
Havre property. Lay aside your strife
and work together, you politicians for
the interests of Havre. Havre is the
largest town in the county and looked
upon by Great Falls as rival, because
it has city facilities, big stores and
stocks OF all varieties and is able to
compete with Great Falls and other
cities. Therefor it deserves the trade
Of the smaller towns and of the
ranchers. Ranchers begin to realize
that they can do better here by way
OF trading than elsewhere, but as
they have poor roads to come to town,
they have to go out of their way to
get here, lots of them go by way of
Chinook. Let us build roads into the
mountains to facilitate their coming
here, SO we don't have to depend
entirely on the railroad and the shops
especially as jim Hill is booming
Minot by building big shops there to
put damper on the 500 road. By
doing SO, he will not help Havre any.

Maj. Logan, agent at the Fort Bel

morning, while returning from a visit
to Helena. When interviewed by a
representative of the HERALD upon
the question Of the suit brought

behalf of the Indians against the Milk
river ranchers to restrain the latter
from using the waters of the Milk
river to the detriment of the Indians.
the Major said that there was no
question as to to the ultimate out

the treaty was made with the Indians
that this question of the use of the
waters of Milk river was particularly
provided for. He does not look for

minutes later the first hose wagon was

The Pelletier store had been clabor-

store was its doom. Like a huge oiled

men arrived they knew no human
power could save the building.
Across the street lowered the seven
story Toy building. The intense heat
from the Pelletier building soon melted
every window. The firemen realizing
the great danger, turned their waite: on
the seven-story stone building. But
their hose sent water scarcely to the
third floor.
The Building Doomed.
In few minutes flames began
careSsing the windows of the Toy
building and it was apparent that
structure as we'll was doomed. After
fighting for this building as long as
hope remained. the fire fighters turned
their hose upon the Metropolitan block
north across Fourth street from the
Toy block. Flames soon appeared on
most of the window sills and the tower
in the seventh story was shooting
flames high in the air. This big block
seemed also doomed.
1t was critical moment If the
Metropolitan block should burn the
fire would have an opening upon the
north side of Fourth street and would
then be travelling in three if not foul

men did valiant work here. Streams
were sent out from the upper floors OF
the Metropolitan block, and, in spite

of the Toy block stood. sending the
flames straight into the air. helped tc

Windows Cracked in He.:.

AS the people watched, half dozen
window panes on the Warfield-Pr
Howell building cracked in The heat.
Three squads of firemen, blinded and
blstered by the intense heat had
dragged their lines as close to the
Wartieid builairg as human being
could stanG not be burned alive. But
their futile streams fell far short of the
third story, where the fire naturally
would start.
With a fierce swish to show the
mockeIy of dalliance, the flames from
across the street pounced down on the
top of the Wartield building and plant
ed spots of red.

1t has never been explained, but Bishop
Talbot was sustained by the investigating
committee. The records show, however,
that only nine of the fifteen members took
part in the decisive vote, which stood five
to four against the presentment.
BY the margin of single vote Bishop
Talbot escaped trial and the church

But still the fire ragged tiercely. It
