legislature of any state is now III ct

stance, that any person who repre-
sents as agent or sells goods made
by trust or combine shall be deem

and conviction shall be punished by

PLANS FOR NEW BUILDING.
Drawing Presented for Four Story
Structure On Day House Corner.

Architect ]. H. Kent is in the city.
having come in Saturday evening
from Harlowton where he has been
busy for several days drawing plan:
tor new buildings at that place. Mr..
Kent has with him some drawings
Tor the new four-story bank, business
and office building which ]. P.
Barnes and M. l.. Woodman are 90
ing to erect on the corner of Main
street and Fourth avenue, better
known as the Day House corner.
The gentlemen contemplate the
erection Of a 90xlOO feet, four story
building on the property. Native
stone for the first story and pressed
brick tor the other three stories will
probably be the materials selected.
AS planned by Mr.. Kent the build
ing will be magnificent structure
with all Of the latest features in
building. The excavating for the
building will probably be done this
tall and the foundation put in so
that an early start can be made next
spring on the actual construction of
the big building.

GREAT CROPS IN FERGUS
Over Half Million Bushels Of Wheat Will Be
ThFeshed In This Counb.--Oats, Potatoes
And Hay In Great Abundance.

Seldom, if ever before, in the his
tory of Fergus county has there been
such fall of rain and so much
thunder and lightning during the
spring and early summer months as
this year There was rather more
rain fall than usual in June and July,
upto date, has certainly broken all
records.
The wet season has been one Of
mixed good and i'll with the good
features, perhaps, predominating,
judging from material standpoint
Several lives have been lost, how
ever, and for these, no material bene-
fit can compensate.
Two men in the western part of
the county have been killed by light
ming and great many head Of horses
and cattle have also been killed in
this manner.
Along Musselshell and some of its
tributaries no less than four men
have lost their lives owing to cloud
bursts and the sudden rising Of
streams
George Pirrie Of Rothemay lost
several thousand dollars worth of
shepe one entire band Of ewes and
lambs being washed away in Care
less creek In the same storm, w.
c. Jenizen suffered a loss of $4,000
worth of sheep which were being
herded on Careless creek.
But about ten days ago, the Moule
shearing pens were flooded and w.
J. Cameron lost about 800 head of
sheep and Mr. Moule also lost sew
eral hundred dollars worth.
The rains have also interfered
greatly with shearing operations and
woolgrowers in the western and
southern part Of the county are from
two to three weeks behind. The
greater part of the wool is sold but
not much money can be realized until
it can be baled and weighed out.
The county will be put to a rather
heavy expense in replacing bridges
which have been washed out and in
mending roads which the floods have
made almost impossible Work on
the Milwaukee and Billings &
Northern railroads has been put back
three months and along the Mussel
shell it will be necessary for the Mil
waukee to rebuild many miles of the
grade which had been completed.
Mining operations in the Judith
and Moccasin mountains have been
considerably interfered with, result
ing in falling off, last month, of the
gold production in this county.
SO much for what may be termed |
the disadvantages of an exceptionally |
wet season The advantages are
many and far more than offset the
losses.
From present indications, the
greatest crop of wheat ever raised
in the state will be harvested in Fer
gus county this year. 1t is estimated
that there is $4,000 acres of wheat in
the county. Unless hail storm
comes along within the next three

In the meanwhile, Roosa was driv-

man, turning corners into side streets
to get out Of the sight Of the people
who were trying to follow him. An
hour later, he was found at the Cas-

there arrested.
