TO ATTRACT.
HOMESEEKERS
LEWISTOWN BUSINESS MEMS AS.
ISOLATION WILL GET TO
WORK VERY SOON.

The annual meeting of the Lewis
towns Business Mems association was
held Monday night, when the first
step was taken in campaign that
will be inaugurated to bring the re-
sources Of the Judith basin to the
attention of the country, and espec-
tally those who are coming from the
east to seek homes. These people are,
as rule, a most desirable class of
settlers, and nearly every other Sec
ton of the state is making an effort
to secure share of the immigration.
The Business Mems association will
not attempt more than preliminary
work this year, as it would require
too much time to carry out extensive
plans, but what is done will be done
at once, and will not be without con-
siderable effect, it is believed. 1t will
be followed up later on by systematic
efforts on much larger scale.
William Rae Speaks. ....
William Rae, of Bozeman, who has
had much experience in this line Of
work, was invited to address the meet
ing, and told of the plans followed
in other sections. The results, said
Mr.. Rae, had been very satisfactory
He suggested that as beginning
some printed matter descriptive OF
the Judith basin be issued, and that
this be carefully distributed in the dis
tricts from which the homeseekers
are coming, and also at St. Paul and
the other gateways of travel.
The suggestion was adopted, and
J. E. Lane, G. j. Bach and H, R. Wat
son were named as committee to
look into the matter, ascertain the
cost of the work, and report back
within a week.
Several speakers pointed out the
urgent necessity of having a home
| seekers rate from Lombard to Lewis
town while such rate is in effect on
the Great Northern, and S. S. Hobson
William Abel and A. B. Lehman were
appointed as a committee to take the
matter up with President r. A. Har
low, of the Montana railroad, and
make report at the same time the
advertising committee does.
The election of officers of the asso
citation resulted in the old officials be-
ing chosen to serve another year
They are w. D. Symmes, president:

A number Of Maiden people were

R. M. Dougherty left for South Da-
kota last week, where he will dispose

many friends.
Many ranchers have been in town
the last few days and are jubilant
over the heavy fall of snow. They
report more than half of their crops
planted and expect good returns this
year.
Mr.. A. c. Wilburn, brother.in-law OF
R. A. Mckee, who has been here the
past year in the employ of the Gold
Reef Mining company, has resigned
his position to accept a position with
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany of New York. He will be To-
Gated at Butte. Mr.. Wilburn, while
here, formed many acquaintances who
will be sorry to see him go, but wish
him success in his new field of labor.
Mr.. Wilburn is an ex-superintendent
of the Western and Southern Life In
surance company, of Cincinnati, and
was with us simply waiting for an
opening. OF the different positions
offered he has accepted the one at
Butte, owing to it's being the largest
town in the state. He has the best
wishes of his many friends, who wish
him success and prosperity in his new
home.

TO OINSTITUTE
NOVEL SUIT
COUNTY WANTS TUBB BROS. TO
PRODUCE HANGMAN'S GAL
LOWS OR PAY VALUE.

Under instructions from the county
commissioners, County Attorney Ay.
ers will this week bring a novel action
against Tubb Bros. The suit will be
instituted to recover from the con
tractors one hangman's gallows, or the
value thereof, $500.
1t seems that over a year ago the
county sold the old Jail, fence, etc..
to Tubb Bros, for about $100, and
was glad to get rid of the trash at
that figure. The sale included every.
thing except the cells and furniture,
but did not expressly include the man
killer. The commissioners never
dreamed that the buyers would con.
slider this grewsome instrument as
included in the job lot, but they did
and it was hauled off with the rest
of the old lumber, etc.
Wanted to be Neighborly.
Sheriff Slater supposed the gallows
was safely stored away until a few
days ago, when he received request
from the sheriff of Meagher county
for the loan of it. Being an accom-
moiating man, and wishing to be
neighborly, Sheriff Slater had Under
sheriff Martin go for the gallows. but
it was not to be found. Further in
vestigation revealed the fact that ii
had been cut up by the contractors
and although parts of it remained
the device upon which William Cal
der expiated his terrible crime exist
ed only in a fragmentary condition.
When these facts were reported to
the county commissioners, they were
wrathy and instructed the attorney
to proceed against the contractors al
