McEcony Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing of Neill Nc
Evony, on a charge of second degree
assault committed upon Claude Thrail-
kill, was held in Justice Brassey's court
last Saturday forenoon. McEvony is
one of the young men who is alleged to
have made a. brutal assault upon
Thrailkill in this city on August 25th
last, in front of Christe's restaurant.
Among the witnesses examined at the
hearing were Dan Meyers, Henry Peli-
can, Walter Green, Claud Thrailkill
and Emil Christie. The evidence clear,
ly showed that McEvony was the ag-
gressor and he was ordered bound over
to the district court on a second degree
assault charge. His bail was fixed at
$500 which was readily furnished.

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
Schubert Symphony Club Pleases a
Great Audience.

The Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartette furnished a high class
entertainment to Lewistown theatre
goers last Thursday night. The five
talented musicians played to a packed
house in Culvers opera house, and
pleased the large audience present with
every number rendered. Many bewitch-
Ing selections were executed by the
symphony club and the quartette show
ed much training and perfect blending
Of voices. One of the most fas-
cinating features Of the evening was
the skillful and artistic violin playing
of Thomas Purcell. The monologue on
pudding" Arlie Hinman was one Of
the most amusing. realistic and enter
tanning numbers of the evening. Her
other readings likewise captivated her
audience by their irresistible charm.
Manager Culver can be assured of good
houses If such first class attractions are
brought to this city, as the people of
Lewistown are ever ready to patronize
entertainments of this character.

ELECTRIC ROAD
INTO KENDALL
Big Project Has Been Revised by
Prominent Business Man in An
other Part of This State.
PLAN OE GREAT POWER PLANT
Proposed Project Will Mean An In
vestment of Close to One half
MilliOa Dollars.
PLAN Of GREAT POWER PLANT

The Democrat learns from an author
tive source, that the proposition of
building an electric road between this
city and Kendall has been revived and
that the gentlemen who has the matter
in hand has already secured promise of
all the money necessary to complete the
project.
While we are not at liberty to give
the name of the gentleman who is
working on the proposed project, we
may say that he is largely interested in
the mining business of Fergus county,
although a resident of another part of
the state, and is associated in busi-
ness way with some Of the largest con-
Germs in the northwest.
The plan Of this gentleman as out
lined in letter to a well known Lew
istown business man, is to erect big
power plant on Spring creek, the site
having already been decided upon. The
capacity of this plant will be six or
seven hundred horse power and. in ad-
dition to furnishing power for the pro-
prosed electric road to Kendall, will al
so be able to furnish power and light
to Gilt Edge and Moore as well as COM
peting for Lewistown business if it is
found feasible.
The total expenditure contemplated
is close to half a million dollars. I'm
der the plan so far as decided upon,
work will be begun on the plant and
road early as possible in the spring and
the work pushed will all possible expe-
dition, endeavoring to complete the en-
tire line before Christmas, 1907
About two years ago, John l.. Bright,
general manager of the Citizens Elec-
trio company of this city, had a route
surveyed for such a road to Kendall
and found that the project is entirely
feasible from an engineering stand
point but certain circumstances arose
which caused him to abandon the prop
osition.
Those acquainted with all the facts in.
the case believe that the road to Ken
dali will prove to be paying PROPOSE
ton. From present indications, Ken
dali will be the scene of the greatest
activity in a mining way when spring
opens up. Certain deals of huge mag
nitude which have already been parti-
ally consummated, will have much to
do with attracting the attention of the
outside world to the great mining dist
rict. 1t will have the effect of bringing
hundreds of thousands of dollars of out
side capital which will be spent in de-
veloping into mines a large number OF
properties which are now little more
than prospects.
Taken altogether, the coming year
promises to be the best in the history
Of Kendall and the prosperity of that
camp always means much for the ad-
vancement and welfare of Lewistown
and the county in general

New Water System Completed.

Had it not been for the storm of the
past few days the big Lewistown gray
lty water works system would have
been completed last week and water
from the pure crystal spring from the
the city mains at the present time. The
big ditch is completed and all Of the
pipe is laid The entire system has
undergone a complete sluicing and
cleaning. The reservoir has been thod-
oughly cleaned and when water again
flows into it, it will be free from any
contamination. AS soon as the wealth.
er will permit the system will be put
into working order and Lewistown can
then boast of as good water system
as there is in the United States.

WINTER WEATHER
Judith Basin Gets a Touch of Biz
zard Which Has Been Sweeping
Eastern States,

Boreas came out of his northern cave
last week and landed on Fergus county
with a full complement OF icy winds,
driving snow and frigidity Thursday
night. Although the thermometer reg
istered but one or two below zero, the
cold wind which accompanied the storm
made 1t an exceedingly severe spell
It's intensity was emphasized by the
storm coming right on the heels OF
some Of the finest weather.
The storm seriously interfered with
threshing which was still in progress
in many sections of the Basin. Local
weather prophets, however, prognosti-
cate some good weather before Christ
mas which will enable all who have not
yet threshed to get their grain out Of
the sheaves.
Building operations have also been
interfered with. The large crowd OF
men working on the Diamond block
had to suspend operations and many
private residences In different parts of
the city will be delayed by the storm
Work on the city sewers, excavations
and the big gravity water system has
also been temporarily stopped.
AS rule, Fergus county woolgrow-
ers are well prepared for any such a
storm as this. Five dollar ewes are
worth taking care of and as a result
there will be few losses reported from
this Storm
Some of the beeves which are still on
the range awaiting to be shipped to
eastern makets are suffering slightly,
but otherwise no damage will result to
the farmer. cattleman or sheepman
from this rather unexpected, yet belat-
ed storm. On the other hand consider
able good will be forthcoming. Regions
of the cattle range in which drouth
has been reported will have that dim.
Guilty removed as this snow storm will
furnish ample moisture. The farmer
who has winter wheat i'm the ground is
also thankful for the good coating Of
snow.

cused of stealing stock was shown by
the fact that the Montana Stockgrow
ers Association retained O. w. Belden
as an assistant to County Attorney
Ayers in the trial of this case. The
stockmen of this county have hung ur,
big rewards for the arrest and conyic-
ton of horse and cattle thieves and
the chances of guilty party to escape
justice are small.
On the other hand the defense was
also upheld by excellent legal talent.
Worden & Scott, assisted by j. c. Hun
toon, appearing for Hedigan.
Barney Hedigan the defendant. Is
widely known throughout Fergus coun-
ty and his arrest has aroused the keen
est interest throughout central Mon
tana. He has been a resident of the
Git Edge country for many years and
is wen known to nearly every old
timer. In the case which appeared for
trial yesterday, Hedigan is accused of
stealing several head of horses from
Mike Rooney, who lives near Philbrook.
The first case called on Monday was
that of the state VS.. Hedigan and
Ryan. Upon motion of attorneys for
the defendants, the judge decided to
have each of the defenants tried upon
separate charge The trial of the
state VS.. Hedigan was ordered to be
tried forthwith, while the trial of the
state VS.. Ryan was ordered for We'd
nesday, November 21st.
The contention of the prosecution Is
that on or about the 18th of August
Barney Hedigan took two Mares two
colts and gelding from the range,
the horses belonging to Mike Rooney.
On that day, two witnesses, Bert Brock
bank and William Getchel testified
that they saw the defendant driving
the horses past the Powell ranch on the
Judith. on his way to this city. On the
next day Hedigan sold several of these
horses to Ed Mcdonald. Upon looking
over the animals Mr. Mcdonald found
that one OF the animals had his brand
and he recognized the horse as being
one which he had sold to Mike Rooney
some time before. On this ground he
refused to accept the animals, and
Hedigan returned the money paid for
the horses to Mcdonald stating that ne
thought everything was all right, as he
had been so assured by the party he
said he had purchased the horses.
Mr.. Hedigan claims that he pur-
chased the horses in this city from
Dram Stevens, a Gilt Edge miner,
whose whereabouts is not now known.
The taking Of testimony occupied all
forenoon, and the instructions OF the
court were given this afternoon as well
as the agreements for both sides, and
the case was in the hands of the jury
at last reports.

Ill SWALLOWED
SOME MATCHES
And Reuben Anderson, Prisoner, Thus
Succeeds in ShuftIing Off
This Mortal Coil.

One case was marked off the calendar
of the district court last Friday night.
Reuben Anderson. highly colored and
awaiting a term of Imprisonment for
attempting to take the life of a fellow
laborer on the railroad out at Straw
several weeks ago, relieved the county
of the expense of transportation to
Der Lodge. In the settlement of the
case, Reuben took a good sized dose Of
match heads mixed with a few pieces
of ground glass.
Reuben's astronomical apparatus
stood for the mixture for three days
but having been used to dealing with
such digestibles as water melon and
'possum ribs, finally refused to assimi-
late the diet of sulphur and glass and
commenced to make trouble for Reuben
Friday night.
After writhing in pain for several
hours, the boy finally died and thus ac-
complished his firm determination to
destroy himself.
Anderson was one of the large mum.
Der of negroes imported from the south
to work n the Billings & Northern rail-
road between Great Falls and Billings,
A large number of these negroes were
campd at Straw all summer and their
petty laWlessness resulted in much
trouble out there.
AS result of an alteration between
Anderson and another negro, Reuben
was brought into this town with a
first degree assault charge against him.
He entered plea of guilty and was
sentenced to eighteen months in the
penitentiary
He tried to shuttle off about a month
ago when he swallowed some glass but
was not successful. Last Tuesday he
made second and,as it proved, sue
cessful attempt at self destruction bv
soaking some match heads in water
and drinking the mixture. DR.. Wilson
was called but nothing could be done
at that time. The poison commenced
to take effect Friday and resulted in
death that night
Reuben was buried Sunday at the ex-
pense of the county,

The Last of the Fleet.

Four years ago a dozen British ships
went to San Francisco seeking freight.
But the French bounty earners had
driven rates down, and owners in Lon
don and Liverpool scorned the quota
tons made them. So ship after ship
was towed over to Saucelito, there TO
lie and swing to the tide till freights
arose. But freights didn't rise. Grad
ually the fleet lost member after men,
Der, and at last only the Silberhorn
and the Cawdor were left. Their own
.ers were obdurate. Enterprising adj
vertisers offered to lease the spaces on
the ships rusty sides, and contractors
proposed to turn the vessels into
hotels. The exiled shippers only re-
NAMED, and still the freights did not
go up. Three weeks ago the Silber-
horn went. Her weedy cable clanked
in from muddy waters. Her weedy
forecastle again resounded to the
tramp of booted feet. Now only the
Cawdor remains of all that sleeping
fleet, gently nosing to her deep i'm
bedded anchor. her captain pacing his
vacant quarterback, the cook smoking
in his solitary galley-waiting for
freights to go up.-Pall Mall Gazette.

AN ORCHID ROMANCE.
The Rediscovery Of a Rare Plant That
Had Been Lost to the World.

Orchid lovers have for many years
been watching for the rediscovery of
Fairies lady's slipper orchid. They
wanted it. not merely because it had
been utterly lost to cultivation, but be-
cause it was the parent of many of
the most beautiful hybrids we have.
That Fairies orchid has eventually
been rediscovered and reintroduced is
the direct result Of the British govern
ment's mission to Tibet.
I. They were rushed to the auction
rooms, and so keen was the excitement
(; in the orchid world that plants of two
or three growths sold at prices ranging
from $500 to $500. The secret of an
other shipment being on the seas had
been we'll kept, but it arrived in due
time, and today the lady's slipper, lost
for half a century, can be purchased
in good specimens for $25. Already

Grecian Prise. Fortress.

The old town of Nauplia, once the
capital of Greece, is perhaps one of
the most picturesque and attractive
cities in Greece,
The roadstead is one of the best in
Greece. being surrounded by deep wa
ter and having good anchorage in
all parts. The extreme point of the
peninsula, Harbor Rock, called Itsh-
Ka-leh, is surrounded ON the west and
south by the sea. This was the an
Gent Acropolis Of Nauplia, and the orr
ginal polygonal blocks of which the
ancient walls were made have been
made use of in the construction of
the modern Notifications. The most
prominent feature is the fortress of
Falamidji. This is used now solely as
q convict prison. It stands ON the
summit Of high rocky eminence no
fewer than 705 feet above the level
of the harbor. Access to this is OBJ
tanned by means of a staircase of S57
steps cut in the rocks by the Vene-
t;ans.
The prison is isolated on the top of
this bare rock, exposed to the blazing
heat of the sun, whose beams descend
with fierce fury upon the cells and
buildings, where no particle of shade
is obtainable, crowded with the worst

What Harm our Thoughts may Do.

-e@O~os~sD
We would be appalled, If we could
see pass before US, in vivid panorama,
the wrecks caused in lifetime by
cruel thought. A stab here, a thrust
there, a malicious sarcasm, bitter
irony, ungenerous criticism, a jealous
envious or revengeful though hatred
and anger are all going out constantly
from many mind on deadly missions
Servants have actually been made dis
honest by other persons perpetually
holding the suspicion that they we're
dishonest. This thought suggests dis
honesty to the suspect perhaps for
the first time, and, being constantly
held, takes root and grows, and bears
the fruit of theft. The old proverb, if
you have the name, you might as we'll
have, the game" ts put into action
many times. It is simply cruel to
hold a. suspicious thought of another
until you have positive proof. That
other persons mind is sacred; you
have no right to .nvate It with your
miserable thoughts and pictures of su-
spicion.
Many people scatter fear thoughts,
doubt thoughts, failure thoughts
wherever they go;; and these take
root In minds that might otherwise be
free from them and therefore happy,
confident and successful. Be sure that
when you hold an evil, unhealthy, dis
cordant, deadly thought toward an
other something is wrong in your
mind. Learn to radiate Joy, not sting
lily. not meanly. but generously. Fling
out your gladness without reserve.
