ANOTHER BIG
KENDALL DEAL
Outside Capitalists Secure Option on
Group Of Claims Adjoining the
Barnes-king.
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
That Is the Price Agreed Upon-Pa.
pers Sent to the silver Bow
National Bank.

A deal in which outside capitalists
are negotiations for Kendall mining
property has about been closed up,
the owners having given short term
option, and a price, 100000, having
been agreed upon The group is known
as the Arsenoa and Standpat, and ad-
joins the Barnes King Immediately on
the north. 1t is thought by some that
the prospective buyers are the same
people who recently took over the
Barnes-king, while others incline tC
the opinion that +. A. HeinZe figures
in the deal. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, the indentity of the men IN
whose interest the option was secur
ed is unknown, but the fact that the!
are represented in the deal by Judgl
J. z. Moore, of Spokane, makes it eX
tremely likely that Spokane capital
lists are back of it. The owners Of th'
property are r. NJ. Hamilton, J. NJ
Stafford, of Kendall and DR.. w. A

1t is considered almost certain tina
the purchase will be made. The pap
ers have all been signed up and are

THE c., N. 4 ST. p. LINE.
May Have Special Track for Freight
in Mjssoula County.

Missoula. Mont, Dec 2O.-The civil
engineers who have been locating the
route for the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul road in the vicinity of this
city for some weeks, have now prac-
tically completed their surveys in the
Orchards Homes district and through
South Missoula along the river bank,
and are now turning their attention
by laying out the lines through the
old baseball fields and up the mouth
of He'll Gate canyon.
Another party is running a number
of surveys along the base of the west
fact of Mt. Sentinel, and it is under
stood that the engineers are consider
ing the advisability of having the
freight tracks branch off from the
main line at the mouth of the canyon
! and turn in back of the university
buildings. Should they do this they
would follow the southern outskirts OF
the city clear around South Missoula
and would meet with the passenger
tracks again west Of this city near tht
river. Nothing has as yet been done
in regard to the procuring of the op
lions of the property which would bt
used for right-Of-way purposes shoult
such plan be adopted, and the fina
decision must, of course, be made il
the head offices at Chicago.
The plan Of the new road is to u.s.
this line entirely for its freight tracks
since the original line decided upol
will hardly permit of room for so man.

DoWIE GOES INSANE.
Followers Believe His intellect Hao
Permanently Departed.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-John Alexander
Dowie's mind became a blank today.
For several hours the founder of Zion
City was hopelessly beyond the realms
of reason. Then, after being taken to
his room it was asserted that he was
merely affected by temporary aberra-
tion and that his reason had return
ed.
But the followers of the wonderful
old man sadly shook their heads. Their
grief gave evidence of firm belief
that the intellect that had swayed
| them so long had departed.
Dowie came to the regular services
in Shiloh House today laboring under
the hallucination that he was the aide
| to a general who had been killed in
battle. He had assumed the uniform
of this general to keep the spirits Of
his soldiers militant. He thought he
had won his battle in his false feath-
ers. Then he proceeded to tell his
hearers, addressing them as the ini-
aginary army. that he was an imposter
in the role of general and that HIS
real chief lay dead at his feet
His friends sought in vain to quiet
Dowie. He threatened to have them
courtmartialed for insubordination ON
the battlefield. He pronounced an in
coherent eulogy over the body Of his
general, which he fancied lay at his
feet, and exhorted his trusted SOL
diers" to follow his banner to more
glorious victories. The first evidence
that Dowie's mind was shattered pre-
sented itself when the First Apostle
appeared swathed in bandages. La
boring under the delusion that he had
received serious wounds in a mythical
battle, he had acted as his own sur
geon.
I The probable action in Dowie's case
was discussed by the deacons who
have remained true to him, but no
plan of procedure was decided upon
!. 1t was conceded that he should be
closely watched to prevent harm to
himself should a suicidal mania de-
velOp.

PATDWYER, FORMERLY GILT
EDGE MAN, TO BE HANGED

Fatsy DWyer, the former Gilt Edge
saloon keeper, and who is almost as
well known in this city as in the
camp, is to be hanged at Reno, Neva-
da, Jan. 25 for the murder of A. G.
Williams some months ago. Dwyer
will be we'll remembered as the man
who shot and killed Panhandle Bob
Thornton at Gilt Edge on Aug. IL,
1899. For this crime he was convict
ed of manslaughter in this city and
sentenced to serve two and half
years in the penitentiary. The crime
at Gilt Edge was one that gave Dwy-
er most excellent chance TO show
selfdefense, as Thornton was in his
victims saloon brandishing gun.
After getting out of the pen, Dwyeir
went TO Great Falls and spent some
time there. finally going to Nevada.
His latest victim, Williams, was d
popular man, and Dwyer has always
claimed that he mistOok his victim for
man named O'Brien, a gambler, with
whom he had engaged in a row short
time before. The prisoner feels his
position very keenly, as is shown by
the following from the Reno Gazette:
Patsy Dwyer, the gambler. who has
been convicted and sentenced to be
hanged on Jan. 25 for the murder OF
A. c. Williams, a conductor on the
Nevada Central railroad, was brought
to Reno by Sheriff Murphy, of Austin,
Friday morning, and is now occupying
cell in the county Jail. He is ner-
vous wreck, and continually talks of
his two little children, who are now
with their aged grandparents in Can
ada.

while Dwyer was making this
statement, his shoulders shook with
sObs and the tears streamed down
his nervous and tear-wOrn cheeks. He
seems to be on the verge of nervous
collapse, and although he is not afraid
of death, the thought of his children
preys so upon his mind that he is un-
able to sleep and eats but very little.

MODIFICATION OF
THE LAND ORDER
Change Makes All Public Land Subject to Entry
Except Coal Land-Nothing Now in Way of
Onward March of Fergus County

/ There was repjoicing in Fergus
county this week when telegram was
received at the local land office from
the department announcing that the
previous order withdrawing practi-
cally all of the desirable public land III
the land laws had been rescinded, so
far as related to agricultural lands,
and remains in effect only as to coal
lands.
This action is entirely satisfactory
and all that could have been asked
or was hoped for. The promptness
with which the desired relief was Civ
en- was an especially pleasing feature.
Nearly everyone believed that when
the actual condition of affairs in this
county was made known to the depart
ment, a modification of the order
would be made. hut there was gen
eral apprehension that this might be
delayed until actual damage had been
done. As it stands. the county has
not sustained the slightest injury, and
the coal lands remain protected.
Following is the message received
from the department:
BY departments order of today,
withdrawals of July 26. 1906, and sub.
sequent Withdrawals from entry fill
ing or selections of lands believed to
contain workable coal are modified TO
provide for the withdrawal of such
lands from coal entry merely
! Similar action has been taken vita
regard to the other land districts of
| this state, and the work of settling
up and reclaiming the waste places
will continue as heretofore.
| George w. Cook, speaking of the
matter this morning, said that the
action taken in making the original or.
der and its revocation had really stim.
ulated interest in the public lands
among the agriculturists. Those who
had intended to take up land, but
were letting it drag. were made tC
realize suddenly what it would mean
to them il they should lose the chance
and there would be something of a
rush Of hOmesteaders in consequence
David Hilger said that if the order
had not been rescinded, SO far as re
lates to the entry of land for agricul
ural purposes. it would have put {
full stop to the settlement of the coun
ty. There are coal outcrOppings il
various parts Of Fergus" said Mr.. Hill
ger, "but the thickness of these veins
does not exceed 3R feet, and the or
der as it now stands will afford al

tracks, and besides. means quite an
uphill pull in getting out of the city
east.
The Milwaukee now has nearly q
dozen parties working in this county,
and will continue to keep as large,
and perhaps larger force here
throughout the entire winter. Thus
far only preliminary and locating work
has been done by the engineers, and
nothing has been accomplished along
the line of cross-sectioning of COM
putting earth work. The Milwaukee
will enter the city along the river
bank on a very heavy fill, and the
construction work promises to be very
extensive,
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-12-21

the protection to coal lands that is
necessary. The late F. T. Robertson
over year ago brought in here one
of the best known coal operators OF
Wyoming, and he inspected all OF
these Outcroppings and gave it as his
opinion that while all the coal in this
section was good for domestic and
purely local purposes, the veins were
not of sufficient thickness to make
them available for working on large
scale and in a commercial way, with
view to shipping outside. There was,
therefore, no real reason for the with
drawal of all the lands. The idea of
the department to restrict, so far as
possible. large holdings of land by in
Gividuals and corporations Is, OF
course, commendable, and the desire
to preserve the public land for small
settlers who intend to make homes is
all right, but this withdrawal would
really have given the large outfits con-
troll Of the ranges. With this order out
of the way. the outlook for Fergus IS
something splendid. 1t will make more
progress during the coming two years
than has been witnessed in 20 years.
The building of these two railway sys-
TENS across the country will bring a
great number of bona fide settlers and
home builders to us. and they are just
the kind of people the whole west is
seeking.
AS TO the large holdings in this
section, practically all of them have
been acquired by actual purchase OF
what were small ranches in the early
I days. | recall an incident to show this.
Ten years ago there we're eight fam
! lilies living on a certain creek. All
were small stock raisers. At the pres
ent time that whole creek is owned by
two large outfits. Experience has DEM
onstrated that the large cattle and
sheep outfits can be more ecOnomi-
cally conducted than the small ones,
and there is no valid objection to the
sale of the small holdings to the larger
concerns. The withdrawal of the order
gives the actual settlers every advan-
tage possible, but of course nothing ON
earth can ever prevent those who
have acquired the land from selling.
/ Experience has shown that the ranch
er in this semi arid section requires
much more land TO win success than
in the east, and under fair conditions.
l believe that the small rancher should
have not less than $40 acres in order
to follow diversified farming. This is
the general rule. although, of course
there are the usual exceptions"

Sentence Of the Court.
The court" said Judge Cheadle, in
proceeding to pass sentence, has CIV
en- this case considerable thought for
the reason that the jury in each case
left the penalty to be fixed by the
court. The object of punishment is
primarily to protect society from a
repetition of such crimes by the defend
ant or others, and secondly to reform
the offender. There is no room in le-
gal procedure for the qualification
OF any feeling of revenge. In your
case, Hedican, there seems to be very
little room for asking clemency. If
such crimes are punished lightly, the
desired effect is not secured. The chief
object in this case is to prevent the
crime of horse stealing in this county
by yourself and others. In your case
suppose it may seem harsh to be
sent to the penitentiary when other
men, in this county, guilty in a mark
ed degree, are not punished. The court
has no doubt that there are a mum
