WILL TAKE STEPS TO GET
LAND ORDER RESCINDED

Those interested in securing the
revocation of the recent order with
drawing nearly all of the public land
in Fergus county from entry under
any of the land laws have decided on
a line of action. A statement setting
forth the facts in the case is now be.
ing prepared. 1t will demonstrate
that of the more than 100000 acres
of land affected, but q comparatively
small amount is coal land, and that
the order can be rescinded as to such
land without in any way interfering
with the result desired by the depart
ment. When this statement is com.
pleted, it will be turned over to Hon.
Frank E. Smith, to whom will be del
egated the task of enlisting Senator
T. H. Carter in the good cause. The
senator will be asked to use his best
efforts in getting the order revoked,
so far as it relates to the purely agri-
cultural lands. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that Senator Carter can bring
about the desired result II any man
in the United States can.
It is certain that trouble is brew.

according to one report, President
Roosevelt is not satisfied with Secre

Myendorff's statement made in the
form of an affidavit last summer at the
demand of Secretary Hitchcock, pre-
sented some entirely new, and until
now, unsuspected phases Of the coal
land fraud cases. Myendorff was sent
to investigate the complaints In the
Evanston (Wyo) district, and gather
ed up much information. Among 9TH
er things he learned the same general
set of facts that the interstate COM
merce investigation recently developed.
He hunted up the men who had filed
on these coal lands and secured from
them affidavits to the effect that they
had done this at the instigation of
the Union Pacific railroad or the I'm.
ion Pacific Coal company. The men
swore that they had not entered the
lands in good faith, but for the pur'
pose of afterward relinquishing them
to the Union Pacific Coal company
which they did, and they swore that
they were paid various sums by the
Union Pacific interests to do the Al

The plan for constructing an elec'
trio railroad from this city to Ken
dali has been revived, and this time
there is strong assurances that it will
be carried out. The project was or.
iginally taken upby John l.. Bright,
who had the surveys made and close
estimates as to the tonnage that would
be developed prepared. This data
showed that the road could be built
and equipped for not more than $780,
900, while the traffic was sufficient to
pay a reasonable profit on the invest
ment. Mr.. Bright had no trouble in
financing the enterprise in Cincinnati,
and was on the eve of closing 1t up
when he found that it was impossi-
BILE to obtain a rate on the steel that
was anywhere near his estimates. Up
on this he promptly dropped the whole
matter.
The promoter of the present under
taking is a noted coal mine operator
owning property on Spring creek. and
it is proposed to build a power and
light plant near the Spring creek coai
mines. There will be generated the
power to operate the road, with sur
plus to be disposed Of here and al

that the deal for the sale of the
Barnes-king had been consummated
and the first payment made to Messrs,
Barnes, King, Wunderlin, Woodman,
Devereaux and Ledoux. Some were in
clined to be skeptical. but that the
Argus was right was shown conclus-
lively by the Great Falls Tribune,
which arrived this morning. The mat
ter was presented by that paper to
Mr.. Morony for confirmation, and
the Tribune's reference to the deal
follows:
"Mr. Morony, president Of the First
National bank Of Great Falls, was
asked if he knew anything Of the sale
of the Barnes-King mines. He said
yes, the second payment would be
made through his bank this week;
that there was no doubt that all the
stock would be taken up by New
York syndicate.
He said that he understood Mr
John d. Ryan, Mr.. Hennessy and Mr.
Campbell of Butte were large sub
scribers for stock, and that Captain
De Lamar, Patsy Clark and other
New York people, including Mr.. Lalor
of the DAILY estate, were also heavily
interested in the deal, and that a
large sum of money would be paid
into the treasury for betterments al
the property, increasing plants and
the like.
Mr. Morony thinks the Barnes
King a great property and that the
new owners will work it on as big &
scale as the capacity of the mines viii

the first degree, last week succeeded
in defeating the ends of justice by
taking his life. Anderson was charg.
ed with shooting one Fred Finger,
who was also employed at the grading
camp near Straw, and it Is said that
the trouble arose over the dead man
wife. The wound received by Finger
was a slight one, and after Anderson
was brought to the county jail he con-
stantly bewailed the fact that his wife
had gone back on him." Several
weeks ago he tried to commit sui
eide by pounding up small medicine
bottle and swallowing this ground
glass, but medical attention and the
fact that he had reduced the glass to
almost a dust saved his life. He had
fully recovered and his case was set
for trial for Tuesday Of last week.
when the prisoner made another at
tempt to end his existence. This time
he dissolved the heads of box OF
matches in water and swallowed the
mess. He was very sick Monday
night, but by Tuesday morning had
recovered sufficiently to appear in
court and on his plea Of guilty was
sentenced to a year and half in the
penitentiary He was taken back To
his cell, and constantly grew worse
until late Friday night of last week
when he died. Before the end came
Anderson wrote a letter to his wife
telling her what he had done and
again asserting his great affection fol
her. 1t is likely that when he found
himself recovering from the last at
tempt, he in some way added to the
poison he had previously taken, ant
finished the job. DR.. F. F. Attix, at
ter ascertaining all the facts in thu
case, concluded that there was M
necessity to incur the expense Of n
inquest, and the body was turned owe
to Undertaken Creel, the burial takin'

wife at Straw was informed OF he
husbands end, but she did not mani
