Formerly With the Mexico Ledger
Writes a Newsy Letter From
Montana.

Mr.. Reuben Alphonso Laritin Bennett.
LEwIsTowN, Mont, Sept. I6.-My
Dear Colonel: Your frequent briel
messages to me with papers I have
received and the same are much ap,
preciated. see you still do weekly
STUNT on tie LEDGER and there is not
more interested reader OF the Cotton
WOOD items than myself. l Judge that
there have been great improve ments
IN Mexico in the six years tina have
Deen away from what / see in the
local papers and presume also that
Cottonwood has advanced with that
progress. You ought to boom Cotton
wood by plating out a townslte and
securing a shoe factory, for they seem
70 be quite the thing in your section
now.
The Rabbit Club must be defunct, as l
note no mention of 1t in your column.
Two years ago bunch OF US young
FELLOWS In Lewistown started an order
OF that name, which ,charter rights
were devoted exclusively to the fes-
tive game of poker. For one winter
1t fiourished-until the mandate is
sued by the attorney general to all
prosecuting attorneys that all games
must cease, worked hardship on the
organization, and the Rabbits are
now only gathered together semi
occasionally.
Also the annual coon hunt Of the
printers must be neglected in these
later years, as / never see anything
about 1t. Have all the coons been
caught In the Cottonwood mountains
or what is the reason that the enter
prise was neglected? l saw Hess In
Denver a little over a year ago and be
asked me about the organization, but
| could not enlighten him. | thank
II you would give this some mention
in your column and could procure ex-
cursion rates on all Railroads that may
be many old-timers would appear there
early In the season to participate In
the first great hunt. Twill never for
get that hunt which was conducted
with two jugs Of whiskey and six sand
wiches. Charley Greer and yourself
drank most Of the whiskey and Greer
ate all Of the sandwiches before the
hunting ground was reached, and then
said they had been lost out Of the
wagon. Hess rolled all the way down
a hill with the jug and lantern-1I
presume because it was easier than
walking.
l see Charley Daniel is in Mexico. /
wish you would tell him that i have
answered both of his last letters to
me and am awaiting a reply from
him,
That matter of a position for your
self on the police force in our city is
gladly granted, but the position is
not such desirable one. We would
iuVhCh manu- JOu OiU1 ClClhy VI give
you something more in line with your
ability.
l would like to come back to old |
Mexico for a week or two and will
sometimes. l am going to take two
weeks vaction the first of October,
but have trip planned to the coast, |
or would come back there at this
time.
got that marked copy Of the paper |
announcing my prospective marriage
to a grass widow with several gold
mines. Now you have been little
as to that for all of the
gold mines have been taken, and
darn near all of the grass widows,
too.
/ see you have a morning daily in
now. Some time when you
get few spare minutes l wish you
would kindly explain to me where
there is any advantage in publishing a
paper without Associated
Press news. Sincerely yours
MARION LEACH.
