having the campaign in charge, and
this week the county central commit
tee wrote to him formally inviting him
to pay Fergus visit. No reply has yet
been received, but unless his dates
have all been covered, it is considered
certain that he will come.
The Whistle has made one final, su-
preme effort to unhorse Henry M. Rae,
Republican candidate for state SEN
ator. The charge brought against Mr..
Rae is that he has not resided in Fer
gus county long enough to suit the
Whistle. The fact is, in spite OF all
the Whistle can say, that Mr.. Rae has
been a resident of this county over
four years. During all of that period Mr.
Rae considered Fergus his home, and
made it his home, except during such
time as he was tempOrily absent in
the east. The Whistle devotes about
two columns of it's space to the at
tempt to show that Mr.. Rae is a new
conner, and that is the head and front
of his offending. His ability, his hon
esty, his energy are all conceded, and
not even an attempt is made to show
that he is in any way untitled to fill
the office for which he has been nomi-
mated. All the Whistle can cha1ge
against him is its parrot like repetl-
tion of the stale cry that Mr.. Rae has
not lived here long enough. Isn't that
an absolute confession of weakness
Doesn't it show that the Whistle
knows Mr.. Rae is in every way quail
fed to make an ideal state senator
When all that can be said against him
Is the claim-and that an utterly false
one-of too short residence in the
county, will not the voters conclude
that the man must be pretty strong

He believes in the tariff, in protection
to our wool growers, and he believes
in sustaining President Roosevelt II

whole people. He is Straightforward
and consistent. He has never place.
himself in an anomalous position OF
public questions and policies. It can
not be said of him that he is ION botf

make no mistake If they send Mr.. RAJ
to Helena next winter. Nothing proves
this quite so conclusively as the com
plete breakdown in the Whistles ef
fort to defeat him.

FERGUS COUNTY'S
BIG TAX PAYERS
Bank of Fergus County Heads List This Year With
Contribution of $6, 157..Total Revenue for
the Year Is About $192, 900.

The total revenue to be derived
from taxation by Fergus county this
year. on the basis of valuation, coun-
ty, state and special included, and as.
suming that there will be no delin-
quents, is about 1892, 900. A great part
of this sum, of course, will go to the
state and to the schools.
The Large Taxpayers.
There has been considerable shift
ing about in the position of the large
taxpayers this year. For many years
Oscar Stephens was the largest indi-
vidual tax payer in the county, but
the position at the head Of the list
is held this season by the Bank of Fer
gus County, which will pay the snug
sum of $6. 1879 into the county treas
ury. The Kendall Gold Mining company
comes next with a contribution of $4,-
1896. while the estate of Oscar
Stephens comes next with $3,926.S6.
Bower Bros, the big wool growers,
are in fourth position, and the Barnes.
King mining company is charged with
$3,379.60, while Thomas Cruise follows
with $2,992.35. The Sage Creek Sheep
company will pay $2.S46.76, and the
First National Bank $2,476.90.
Many More Tsxpsyers
The list of taxpayers this year is the
longest one ever turned in to the treas
urer. This result is very largely due
to the arrival of new settlers in Fergus
during the last year and half. and
there are probably from $50 to 400 new
names on the list. The additions come
chiefly from the farming districts and
represent very desirable class of cit
izens. whose holdings will naturally
show considerable increase in value
each year as more and more land is
brought under cultivation.
Some Early Birds
| Although the tax notices are Just be-
ing mailed by Treasurer E. p. P.Chand
Ter, few property owners have al :
ready called to settle, and so far about
twenty receipts have been issued. The
great rush, of course. win not come
until near the end.

in the land by the beginning of the
new year.
Another Improvement.
Another improvement that is just
now receiving attention is in the fire
department. Chief Bebb is now re-
ceiving the new equipment, and in a
short time the work of training the
team of horses recently purchased will
begin. With this addition, and a paid
man at headquarters all the time, prac.
tically, the splendid record made by
the firemen for efficiency in the past
will be eclipsed. The changes will ado
vastly to the protection of the city
against loss by fire

Nearly all lue n0mDeTS Vi the DlS
Fergus county delegation to the state
fair at Helena returned home on the
special Sunday morning, arriving here
at 10 a. m. All were greatly pleased
with the big show, and more especially
with the hOnOrs won by Fergus coun-
ty The unanimous opinion is that the
fair this year far surpassed all pre-
viou efforts, the improvement extend
ing through every department. The at
tendance was enormous. but the Helena
people succeeded in taking care of the
crowds all right.
One of the most interesting events
this year was the cowboys relay race,
and this was captured by w. E. Lori
mer, of this city, who CARED off $500
in cash. Lorimer won by nearly half a
minute over his nearest competitor e.
Douglas, of Canyon Ferry That was
just starter however, as Fergus coun-
ty captured the following prizes on
grain:
First prize for sheaf wheat; first
and second prizes for sheaf barley;
Sandy Baker, first prize Turkey red
winter wheat (grain); second prize for
timothy seed; Frank King, third prize
for blue joint, Louis Kincher, second
prize for red clover, and finally, the
third prize for general display, Fergus

except Gallatin and Yellowstone.
This was, of course, the best show.
ing Fergus has ever made at the state
fair, and it is only an indication OF
what can be done when the work is
taken up far ahead of fair time. and
carried out on larger scale. All agree
that the exhibit from this county re-
ceived as much attention as that from
any other section Of the state. Every
one had read about our dry land farm

Man Who Escaped With the Rosc0s on

us ATTACHMENT FOR A PRtTTY WOMAN
And How h Finally Led to His Undoinq.-
Roscos Are Now in the Crezy
Mountains.

Deputy Sheriff johnson. stationed at
Lombard, came in last night, bringing
with him Charles Brown, whose true
name is Albert Alkire, one of the three
prisoners who escaped from the county
Jail on Sept %. The Rosco brothers
are still az large and are now hiding in
the Crazy mountains. The posse in
charge of Under-Sheritf Martin and
Deputy Sheriff Silverthornc is on the
trail. and it is believed the officers have
a good chance of getting these dcsper-
ADDE'S.
Capture OF Brown
Browns capture was primarily due
to his attachment for woman. He
separated from the Roscos last week.
after they had been fred on by Iced
Shoemaker, the woolgrawer, one OF
whose camps they had robbed Soon
after this Brown fell in with party
travelling across the country, the wo,
man referred to being a member Of it.
Instead of keeping to the mountains he
joined them, and started across the
open country with the woman for the
postoffice at Lat, in Park county. The
posse soon learned of this and was not
long in overtaking Brown, who was
unarmed and promptly surrendered,
although he was greatly chagrined over
the unexpected turn of affairs. Ed
SilverthOrne's satisfaction over the cap
ture of one of the men who knocked
him out and locked him up in Jail was
correspondingly great. In addition to
Silverthorne those in the posse were
Under-Sheriff Martin, Deputy Sheriff
johnson and young man who acted
as guide.
How They Got Away
Brown says they got away from this
locality in about The way the officers
had figured it outlying in the brush
near town until dark. He pointed out
from the cars last night the spot be-
yond the railway track where they
threw awOy the key to the Jail.
