J. |. Nielsen Sells Fine lot on
Main Street and Sixth Ave.
at $50 Per Front Foot.
WILLIAM BlACkfORO PURCHASER
indications of Great Activity in CITY
Property During Coming Sea-
s0n-.-Otner Deals.

Lewistown city realty is beginning
to move in fine shape and real estate
men inform the Democrat that the in
dications are that activity in this di-
rection during the coming season will
far eclipse all previous years.
Within the past month, over forty
thousand dollars worth of property
on Main street has changed hands and
there is talk of other big deals before
the summer is over.
The largest transaction of the past
week was the sale of one lot on the
corner of Main street and Sixth
avenue. belonging to j. l.. Nielsen.
This is considered one of the most
valuable pieces of property in the city
and was purchased by William Black
ford for $4,000 or $40 per front foot.
Real estate men feel that Mr.. Black
ford got a genuine bargain in this
lot.
Jacob Holzemer, who has been the
proprietor of the Day house for over
quarter OF century, last week
closed that famous hosiery, having
sold it to John p. Barnes and as
sOciates. This leaves Lewistown with.
out hotel although there are a num-
Der of good lodging houses and res
taurants in the city which can take
care of the people
The purchasers of the Day house
property have not fully maturedi their
plans as to building on the ground
but something definite will be decided
upon within the next thirty days. Mr..
Barnes feels that it is entirely too
valuable piece of property to permit
to lie unused and the chances are
better than even that fine three or
four story block, 10Ox9O feet will b..
put UP there this summer. In the
meanwhile, it is probable that some
will be made for the re-
opening Of the old Day house to the
public until such time as a new hotel
is completed.

Run on Anaconda Bank.

Anaconda, Feb. PA run on the
Yegen Bros savings bank Of this CITY
occurred this morning. 1t was caused
by the many rumors afloat pertaining
to labor disturbances and the reports
Of a contemplated shutdown.
AS soon as the bank opened it's doors
tnis morning. a crowd surged in and
kept coming until closing time. At one
time during the forenoon 200 people
were in the bank. Every demand for
money by depositors was granted,
with the exception Of those who had
time deposits, and they were not per.
mitted to draw their money until the
term had been completed 1t is not
known how much money was drawn
from the bank, but it is supposed that
1t amounts to several thousand dol
lars
Panic reigned among the hundreds Of
depositors who had an account with
the savings institution. Wild rumors
were afioat concerning the solvency of
the bank and scores of men quit work
at the smelters, to come to withdraw
their money
Cashier E. p Moftitt stated that the
bank was entirely safe He also an
nounced he would give $1,000 reward
Tor the conviction of the person who
started the story.

Crowd at High School.

perience as, though a lad, he made

upon such trip, the sleepless vigil
lence necessary to prevent surprise and

bellious Indians. the privations Of

SOME STIR IN
CITY POLITICS
Socialists Start Ball Rolling BY
Nominating Full Ticket---Ac-
ton By Old Parties in Doubt

City politics are beginning to warm
up little. The socialists started the
ball rolling last Saturday evening
when they nominated a full ticket to
be placed before the people at the
coming city election, April first.
B. F. Fullmer. the contractor, was
named for mayor; J. A. Rhoades for
city treasurer; E. w. Moody for police
magistrate; Percy Stoner, alderman in
the first ward: G.. B. Jamme. alder
man second ward and Herman
Schnick, alderman third ward. Secre-
tary Herman Brown Of the state Soc
1alist central committee, states that a
good campaign will be made and he
considers the chances of success good
Ihe Democrats and republicans have
not yet done anything toward lining
up. Mayor Pinkley announced some
time since that he would not again be
a candidate. but a large number of
democrats are urging him to again
take the nomination. The record
which the present popular mayor has
made during his two years in Office
''AsA AAA~s>S AAAAA q AOInIludOlc Can0l08t0
should he decide to accept the honor
once more. The name Of Alerman J.
p. Lane has also been most favorably
mentioned in connection with the
mayoralty position. Mr.. Lane wou,i be
q very strong man in the position. He
mas made an enviable record as coun-
Gilman and thoroughly understands
the needs of the city. F. F. MacGowan
Will be the democratic nominee for
police magistrate II he desires the
place and the republicans would have
very small chance Of finding any one
to even oppose him.
The republicans are not saving
although a few conferences
have taken place, among the leauers.
None Of the leading republicans appear
to want the job Of running for mayor
and even alder1manic timber is scarce.
Frank Smith, alderman from the sec.
ond, says he Is going to retire. T. J.
I,ubb may try to succeed himself in
the first. In the third, Alderman
Sloan. the democratic member whose
term expires. has not expressed any
desire for another term, although he
may be induced to take the nomina.
ton for another term. H. r. Watson
has been prominently mentioned as a |
probable republican candidate. He ;.
not out for the place and it will have
to come unsolicited. and even in that
event, he is not certain as to whether
he would take it.
Before another week passes, it is
thought that something definite will |
have been done in the matter by both |
Of the old parties. There Is some talk
Of a non-partisan Ticket but, so far
as we are able to learn. this is not |
favored by the rank and file
of democrats.
