Managers of the Fair Association Will
Hold An Important Meeting This
Afternoon.
BElDtN VISITS BOHEMIAN FAIR.
Secretary Picks Up Some Valuable
Ideas At the Big GaIIatin
County Show.

Secretary Belden of the Fergus
County Mineral Agricultural and
Stock Association returned Saturday
evening from a trip to Bozeman where
he went or the purpose of taking in
the big county air which was in pro-
gress there last week and also, if
possible, secure a few pointers for the
big county fair which is to be held in
Lewistown week after next. To the
Democrat Mr.. Belden spoke very high
ly of the Bozeman fair.
TT was one Of the best I have ever
seen, said the secretary, this morning.
THE crowds were simply immense.
One day that I was there, over 5000
people passed through the turnstiles.
They came from all over the state as
the fair had haen wall advertised
everywhere and so far as I was able
to determine, all We're well satisfied
with the entertainment offered. The
races We're especially fine
I'VE are steadily preparing or our
big fair which begins on the goth of
the present month and from present
prospects, the fair will greatly sur
pass any previous fair. We are now
considering special eatures and are
are sure of bringing in several which
will materially add to the interest in
the fair. We are thinking of getting
the oath inantry band from Fort Har-
rison. It will cost a lot of money to
bring this organization here but they
are worth the price. The band is con-
sidered the second best military band
in the U. S. and if we get it, the people
of Fergus county will be given a rare
musical treat.
Our racing program will assuredly
be a good one. Some of the best hors-
es of the state will be brought in here,
the purses being of size to cause
horseowners to make the trip. The
cowboy relay race will be a hummer
and other special features will go far
toward making the fair a record
breaker from the viewpoint of fine en-
tertainment. All we ask or nofw is a
week of good weather and we believe
that the people will do the rest

business associates? That question
decided, a clew may be had that will
materially assist toward the discovery
of his murderer.
my brother was not a pawn brok-
er. nor did he conduct a business Of
that nature. He traded in furs and
pelts and was successful from all ac-
counts. He first went to Montana in
1887, and has been there ever since,
and was evidently well known. From
what / can learn, he was held in the
highest estimation by the business
men of Lewistown. We received a
message today from Lewistown, ask

of his remains and will reply at the
earliest opportunity"

tai and labor We're the two great
equal wells In the world. and the
speaker hoped yet to see them sit
down In peace, having settled all their
disputes equitably. In the past there
had been some labor troubles In Lew
istown. but they were due to the pres-
ence here of men who worked onlv
with their mouths, and ith their de-
parture for other fields. industrial
peace had come. and the unions had
grown and prospered He hoped the
time would never come in this coun-
try when commercialism would over
shadow patriotism, vet he sometimes
feared It, The question was one that
he would leave with the workingmen
to think over. The nearer all classes
In this country came to getting toge-
ther as one class, the nearer they
would come to realizing the dream of
an ideal government.
Chairman DeKalb then introduced
Judge Cheadle, who delivered very
interesting and able address, in which
he touched upon many questions of
the day Of especial interest to the
workingmen His address will be
given In the Democrat next week.
AT the conclusion OF Judge Chea-
dies address, the band played a clos
ing selection, ana MIR. DeKalb dismiss
sed the meeting.

FROM STUDzlNSKYS BROTHER.
Michael, Brother of Murdered Man
Gives His Version of the Crime.

Michael Studzinski, Of San Francis
co, whose brother was recently mur-
dered in this city, had the following
to say to the San Francisco Examiner
on the crime:
"It is evident to me that the murder
of my brother whoever he may be, was
someone familiar with his business
and his future intentions. In fact,
believe that the murder was friend
and confident of Samuel. A short
time ago / heard from my brother by
letter. He informed me that he was
about to come to this city as soon as
he could sell his business and dispose
of his property in Lewistown. That
was several weeks ago. l have heard
nothing from him since, and was on
the point of sending him a message,
asking him why he did not come when
l received dispatch telling me of his
death. / have since learned that he
had sold his business to another Lew
istown man. and that he was about
to leave at the time Of the murder.
Whoever committed the crime vas
aware of this and killed him for his
money.
For several years my brother has
labored under the impression that
some one was seeking to do him bod
lily harm, and all his life he exercised
was merely an eccentricty of his. But
we have now learned that his eccen-
trcty was a foreboding of what was
actually to happen. The question now

government had been achieved. The
men who fought the battles for free

whom must finally rest the prosperi-
ty and progress of the country. Capt.

APPEAL TO STATE FOR AID
To Check Epidemic Of charbon in Southeast Part of State-Quaran- tine Guard Exonerated for Killing Negro.
Charbon Spreading.

The disease known as eharbon is spreading so rapidly and causing the loss of so much live stock in Arltan- sas county that state aid has been asked in the effort to check the epi- demic. Unless restrictive methods of the most vigorous kind are employed without delay the disease will cause widespread destruction. It attacks all kinds of live stock. and is generally fatal Already charbon has caused immense losses to stock owners in Arkansas and Desha counties. The disease is transmitted by horse flies or by an insect that punctures. It is important that the carcasses of ami mals be burned at once, which can be done under a law passed by the last legislature The railroads have been asked to cooperate in establishing a quarantine.
