seem the only damage was the pulling

OWflCOMf BREAK IN STORM.
Chinook Wind and Sunshine Gives
Respite From Rigorous Winter,

Yesterday Witnessed a welcome break
IN the storm which followed the
chinook of last Thursday.
This last storm was by long odds the
worst of the year. especially south
and west Of Lewistown, but so far as
we have been able to learn, the damage
thus far done to stock is not nearly
as bad as many believe Practically
all of the stockmen Of Fergus county
were well fortified with feed and sheds
and while the large outfits are sure
to suffer some losses, the percentage of
dead stock is not going to cripple the
industry in this county.
from all reports, Fergus county stock
men are coming out of the winter
IN far better shape than are the stock
men of any other of the large stock
raising counties. In the eastern and
northern parts of the state conditions
are reported to be most disheartenine
and the losses will be extremely heavy.
Frank Stephens, probably the
largest Individual stock owner in the
county, arrived in this city today and
informs the Democrat that while the
storm has been exceedingly severe,
his losses are not material He ex-
poets to lose some cattle which he had
down in the bad lands, but the mum.
Der win not be large.
A large amount of mail was received
In this city last night. The mail from
the train, which is In the snow out
about Roberta station, was brought in
ny private conveyance and all other
mail up to Saturday morning was
brought in by the Great Falls coach.
This one coach carried over $500 !
pounds of mail matter and the post
office department has ordered all mail |
sent via the stage line into Lewistown
until trains are again running reg
ularly on the Montana railroad. An
other big load is expected to arrive
this afternoon.
If the present weather continues for
a couple of days the railroad company
feel certain that they will get a
through service established again.
They have large forces of men at
work, every man they can employ in
fact, and the train which has been
working out of Lewistown is expected
to get into Moore today. Altogether,
conditions are by no means discourag-
ing and it is the belief of those in
authority that everything will be in
first class shape before the end of the

PRESIDENT A LAW BREAKER.
So Declares Senator neybOrn of
Idaho in Talk on Public Lands.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Hey
burn of Idaho today addressed the
senate on Senator Carter's resolution,
multiplying the order of the secretary of
the interior providing that no pateGt
! to public lands should be issued with
out an inspection first being made on
the ground by a special agent of the
interior department
Mr.. Hepburn took the position that
the order was legally an order Of the
president. He said the president, in
recent message, had said practically
that he (the presidenD had ordered the
secretary Of the interior not to execute
the public land laws.
Mr.. Hepburn declared that the order
one generation to avail itself of any
benefits to be derived from the public
land laws and he announced his in
tention to criticise the order in un-
stinted words.
He then took up the presidents mes
sage referred to. analyzing and criticis-
ing its statements.
The president says" continued Mr.,
Hepburn, ''for much of the fraud the
present laws are responsible
Mr.. Hepburn asserted that the frauds
came in under the rules and regu-
lations of the department.

Proprietor Of the FERGUS County Ar
gus Begins His vaunted Proceed
inos Against ommissioners.
ne GETS A TEMPORARY ORDER.
Question Of Permanent Injunction
Will be Argued Befsre Judge
Cheadle Thursday.

Being utterly unable to longer con-
template the awful calamity of per.
mitting the Democrat to do the work
which he had considered his in fee
simple, John Montmorency Vroomau
last Saturday went before Judge
Cheadle and secured a temporary re-
straining order against the board of
county commissioners preventing
them from ordering any more work
from this office.
The complaint sets up that Vrooman
has contract" with Fergus county
to-wit: The one signed by the retir-
ing board of commissioners along the
nrst OF December He goes on to say
he is being deprived of all sorts Of
money, because of the fact that the
supplies and advertising are now be-
ing ordered from the Fergus County
Democrat and prays that such an in
dignity be stopped instanter if NOT
sooner.
Judge Cheadle signed temporary
restraining order and set Thursday as
the date for arguing the motion for a
permanent order.
Needless to say, the present board
of commissioners will take proper steps
Ia,
toe proprietor OF the joke Sheet
County Attorney Ayers, assisted by
Blackford & Blackford. will represent
the board in the case.
1t is not thought for an instant that
a permanent injunction will be grant
ed by the district court here. In any
event, the matter will likely be taken
to the supreme court for settlement.
The action of Vrooman was not in
the nature of a surprise His disap.
pointment over the failure Of his little
scheme to tie the hands Of the new
board by having the retiring board
give him contract for two years was
very keen and he will stop at nothing
now to retrieve his position. With the
proceeds from twenty years patronage
from the county, he can certainly EN-
pioy attorneys galore and do many
things to embarrass the new board
in the exercise of their proper functions
but it will avail him but little i'm the
long run.
His action in rushing into court
when he was twice defeated in his
once by the people at the
polls and another time by fearless
board of county commissioners, is
meeting with but little sympathy
rom people who are acquainted with
he facts.

we are getting to be a government
or rules and regulations said Mr..
Hepburn, who added that he was going
to bring forward a resolution, asking
every department for all its rules and
regulations.
Mr.. Spooner asked il the order in
question prevented the issuance of
maj title to a homestead where a
FAMILY lived on the homestead the re-
CURED five years and otherwise COM
pied with the law, where no fraud is
charged.
1T says so in terms" replied Mr..
Hepburn.
Mr. Clark of Wyoming said there
We're thousands of such "held-up"
cases on the records Of the depart, ,
ment
What is the ground taken by the de-
partment for this broad falling of the
AK on the heads of these entrymen ?"
asked Mr.. Hale.
A'''C 10 ho SIOIuu tndt would sat
isfy the senator" answered Mr.. Hey
burn. who added there was no way of
knowing what the secretary had said to
the president. But" he said I've
know that the president said it was
because of the prevalence of fraud"
Mr.. Hepburn concluded by explaining
the hardships the executive order was
working. A homesteader, he said. was
put entirely at the mercy OF the "spe-
clal agent" was not allowed to know
what report was made against him
and was given no opportunity to
answer 1t. 1t made no difference
whether the settler had rendered his
sworn affidavit and the affidavit of
two of his neighbors, in compliance
with the law; the report of the special
agent was placed above the evidence.
AS II was to the advantage of the
special agent to find trouble, the re-
ports so made were likely to be bad.
