ADVERTISING
TIE COUNTY
Sale of Barnes-Kine Bringing Fergus
County Before Notice of People
All Over the State. L.

E. o. Busenburg, the hustling junior
member of the enterprising firm of
Hilger & Busenburg, returned the mid
die of last week from Helena where he
attended a meeting of the State Board
of Education of which he is a most ac-
tive member.
The board transacted much business
of Importance to the educational insti-
tutions of this state and outlined the
program which is to be followed dur
ing the approaching session of the state
legislature. The board will ask the
Legislature for some good round sums of
money to be expended in making need
ed improvements at the various state
schools and, in order to see that their
recommendations are not turned down
by the solons who will assemble in
Helena the first of the year, the educa-
tors will be represented in the capitol
city by an active, working lobby.
After having discoursed with a re-
porter for the Democrat on educational
matters, Mr.. Busenburg turned his at
tention to other matters of general in
terest throughout the state.
Il found that Fergus county is re-
ceiving world of most excellent ad-
vertising on account of the Barnes
King DEAL" said Mr.. Busenburg.
"A number of Helena people tried to
secure some of the stock of the Barnes
King Development company which has
been organized by the gentlemen who
have taken over the big property, but
very few of them were successful as
Butte and New York grabbed up the
stock. know one gentleman who tele-
graphed first to Butte and later to New
York for 5000 shares at $500 per share
but could only get 1000 shares.
From the general talk I heard am
ong business men and especially those
who are engaged in the real estate
business, there is going to be unusual
activity in the real estate business in
Fergus county next summer. There is
going to be a great influx of settlers
and | look for much of our land to
change hands within the next twelve
months. The outlook is certainly most
excellent for this particular section of
the state"
Mr. Busenburg did not volunteer any
information neither was he asked any
questions concerning a certain little
check transaction which took place
during his absence. However, anyone
who desires to hear the story with all
of it's embellishments have only to see
Dave Hilger.

Probably Prove Fatal Injuries at
Spring Greek Mine.
The INJURED MAN A FINIANDFR
Came to lewiStOwn From Red lOd0e
About One Month AgO--NOw at
Schroeder Hospital.

A probably fatal accident occurred at
thu Spring Greek coal mine this morn
inc about o'clock when Adolf Hutte-
men, a Finn miner, drilled into a missed
hole and received horrible injuries from
the resultant explosion.
Hutteman placed a charge last night
and tried to set it off but it did not
go. This morning, he did something
which no prudent miner would think of
attempting, drilling the powder out of
the hole
The explosion hurled coal and rock
against him with terrific force. tearing
off several fingers of the left hand and
inflicting injuries bout the head which
his physician, DR.. Attix, fears Will
.,rOve fatal.
The injured man was brought down
to Schroeder hospital shortly after the
accident and is receiving every pos
sible attention.
Huttemen came TO this city about a
month ago from Red Lodge where he
had previously worked.
He has been employed at the Sprin.
creek mine ever since his arrival. So
far as known, he is unmarried and
nothing is known as to any of his rel
atves. :
