Reported That the Divorce Proceed.
inQs Which Promised Sensations
Mas Been Settled.
CITY WINS AGAINST HAMILTON
Business Man Accused of Furious
Riding Through the Streets Is
found Guilty.

Several cases have been DISPOSED Of
week. One case, which promised to at
tract much more than the average
amount of attention, the divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by Mrs. Charles
Porter against her husband, promi-
nent young stockgrower of Philbrook,
has been continued until the third of
April and it is reliably reported that
the suit which promised many sensa-
tions will never come to trial. 1t has
been settled out of court, but upon
what grounds the public will never
know.
The case of Stoner VS.. Barney,
wherein the plaintiff sued for s54, bal
ance on account, occupied two days for
trial. The jury brought in a verdict
awarding Barney, the defendant, dam
ages in the sum Of $50 The suit re-
suited over some work which Stoner
did for Barney and which the defend
ant declared unsatisfactory. An ap-
peal will be taken in this case.
The City Of Lewistown VS.. Emmett
Hamilton was tried yesterday, having
gone upto the district court on an ap-
peal from the court of City Magistrate
MacGowan. The case resulted in a
verdict of guilty, and the infliction Of
a penalty was left to the court. Ham
ilton, who is a well known young
business man of this city was charged
with furious riding through the streets
of Lewistown.
The case which is just being most
talked Of in this city is that of Maude
Hedges VS.. Adelheid Belcher. Mrs. Bel

tanned by the defendant to fight the
case. Mrs Belcher, the defendant, has

SNEAK THIEF TN KENDALL.


That most contemplate of all crea-
lures. the sneak thief. has been con-
ducting his nefarious operations In the
gold camp recently.
The Shaules cottage. at the rear OF
the hotel, is occupied by Ed jenkins,
John McKinnon, James Warner, Cleve
and Willie Durnen.
When jenkins came off shift Thurs
day evening he found a valuable ring
and some silver gone from his cloth
ing which was left in the room.
Warner reported the loss of silk
muffler, fountain pen and pearl
handled knife.
McKinnon missed pocketbook con-
tanning a certificate Of deposit on the
First State Bank of Kendall. Payment
on the certificate was stopped as soon
as it's loss was discovered.
This is the first instance of thlevery
that has occurred in town for long
time. Usually aa man is quite safe In
leaving valuables in his room without
fear of molestation but it is evident
that black sheep has gotten into the
fold. There is no clue to the guilty
party but Deputy Fisher will keep
sharp lookout for the missing articles.

THE WOOL MARKETS.

In it's review of the wool market for
the past week, the American Wool an
Cotton Reporter says:
In territories there has been some
trade with such houses as have had
any siZable lines to offer. Two or three
houses are reported to have moved, be-
tween them, about one million pounds.
One mill making woolen and worsted
dress goods is credited with having
bought a considerable amount of terri
tory, and another worsted mill bought
half blood Idaho. The wooden manu-
facturers, comprising makers of woolen
dress goods and overcoating, have
bought fine and fine medium territory,
including Idahos, Montanas and Utahs,
paying 6S to zoe, clean.
One house sold about 100000 pounds
of odd lots of territories at prices rang
ing from p cents for fine medium up
TO % cents for medium, the clean cost
of the woods being 20 to re for fine,
according ostaple, 6S to 70c for good
fine medium, with half blood selling at
about the same figures; 60 for three
eights, and about Coo for quarter blood

OPPORTUNITIES
ON ALL SIDES
Charles EQan, Well Known Railroad
Contrac ttrot Mime apoIis Thinks
Well of Fergus County.

Charles Egan, we'll known railroad
contractor and business man of St.
Paul, Mimi. arrived in this city last
Thursday and has gone out to Ken
dali where he will have charge of the
work of sinking the two-compartment
shaft on the Bullard tract which new
belongs to the Queen Mining company.
Mr.. Egan is stockkholder in the
Queen and thinks very highly OF the
prospects for striking a fine mine on
the Bullard ground.
In company with J. +. Ballard, Mr..
Egan paid the Democrat office an ap-
preciated call last Friday morning. He
is a pleasant gentleman socially and is
enthusiastic over the chances of max
ing profitable investments in Fergus
county.
ct have knocked about consider
able" said Mr.. Egan to the editor OF
the Democrat, but I must say that I
have never found a country which
one. I was here about year ago and
remained for about one month and at
that time formed a very high opinion
of this country and its resources.
''It is impossible for anyone to ar
rive at anything like correct esti-
mate of your possibilities without re-
naming here for several weeks. And
the longer one stays in the country, the
more impressed he Is with conditions
here. The vast size Of the county es-
capes a person until they attempt to
ride across it or even portion of 1t.
The fact that you have only about 15,-
900 people in the county with it's six
million acres of land certainly indicates
that there is room for many more.
And they are coming, too" continu-
ed Mr.. Egan. Your country is just
becoming known throughout the east
ern states and there will be a great
movement of people to Montana this
year. Fergus county, believe, will get
a large number of them.
Il shall be a resident of Fergus coun-
ty for the summer at least. We will
commence at once on the shaft on the
Queen Mining company's ground and
| will be in Kendall the greater portion
of my time. While we thoroughly un.
derstand the chances which are con-
nected with the mining industry, we
believe that we have better than an
even break on the Queen. At any rate,
we will go down and if it is there, we
will find it. While we are diging the
shaft. we will thoroughly prospect the
ground by means of diamond drill
and within six months, we will have a
pretty accurate idea of the lay of the
ground Mr. w. E. Hail. one of the
directors of the company and general
manager. will be out from Foley, Min
nesota, very shortly and will be here
for several weeks

BY HUNDREDS
Largest Business in the History Of
the U. S. Land Office at This
Place BeiaQ Done.

Fergus county is certainly getting
her share of the HON eseekers who are
crowding into the west this season. The
records of the United States land office
here shows that never in the history of
Fergus county has there been such a
rush to secure lands During the pres
ent quarter, beginning with January /,
1906, there have been 225 homestead en-
tries and 80 desert land claims filed on
in this district. The total acreage TAX
en- up under the homestead act
reaches 10000, and the acreage of des-
ert claims taken UP goes about $4,000.
The greater part of this land has
been taken up over on The Sage creek,
north of Utica, on or rear the proposed
line of the Burlins,. IN extension from
Billings to Great Falls. Immigrants
have comprised the greater number of
the settlers.

ENGINEERS CLOSE CALL.
Fly Wheel on Hosting Machine at
Barnes-KinQ Is Demolished.

Alex Dilley, an engineer at the
Barnes King hosting plant, had about
as close a call to instant death as ever
fell to the lot of man.
At ten O'Clock Thursday morning,
without a moments warning, the huge
drive wheel, or "bull' wheel, as 1t Is
called, flew into many pieces. Dllley
stood within a few feet of the hoist
with his hand upon the brake. Frag-
ments of the shattered wheel flew IN
every direction, but in some miraculous
manner the engineer escaped serious
injury. One small piece, however,
struck him on the left side of his BODY
but it did not hurt him badly.
At the time of the accident the skip
was being drawn to the surface loaded
with ore. When the drive wheel broke
the automatic safety clamps prevented
