How to Tell EN-

@. W. Martens handed US the
following, taken from the Bow
man County News, and dared US
to print it. He says It's still an
other way to distinguish demo-
crat. Here it is: Bill Atkinson
desires some information con-
corning the gentleman who
helped himself to a $50 set of
harness from the Atkinson
stable last week. Bill says it is
a democrat for he left the collar.
If it had been a repu blican he
would have taken collars, horses
and all.

That the affairs of the convention
were conducted with such dispatch
was due very largely to the executive
ability displayed by Senator Thomas
H. Carter, the permanent chairman of
the gathering, and the way Frank
Hazelbaker of Beaverhead county con-
Quoted the secretary's work. At times
delegates who had secured what they
wanted showed a disposition to pay no
further attention to the proceedings,
but the officers of the convention held
them in line and saw the thing
through in good shape. Some of the
delegates wanted to adjourn about noon
for lunch, but as delay meant another
day for those from Eastern and Wes-
tern Montana, the convention decided
to "stay with it, till all was finished.
Helena people certainly laid them
selves out to see that ali visitors were
taken care of. The residents gave up
their best rooms to guests, and the ho-
tells saw that all who asked were ac-
commodated. If any walked the streets
it was because he didn't hunt for ac-
commodations through the regularly
organized places. The restaurants and
all other eating houses were crowded
all the time, but there was plenty for
all, and the only thing one had to do
was to await his turn.

SUFFERING IS ENDED

After long, hard struggle with
the great white plague, tuberculo-
sis, Mrs. F. NJ Kelly passed away at
her home in this city at about 7:30
on last Sunday evening. Every ex-
pedient to save her life had been
tried, but in vain. Last winter she
spent at Salt Lake City with her
mother, Mrs. J. G. Kiehl, but the
change seemed to do very little good
Nellie M. Kiehl was born at Mel
rose, Mimi, in 1881, the family
shortly afterwards coming to Mon
tana. Her marriage to Mr.. Kelly oc-
Cured some five years ago. She was
27 years of age at the time of her
death. Besides her husband she is
survived by two little children, two
and four years of age, mother, father
and one brother, Ed. Kiehl of Liv-
ingston, who was here to attend the
funeral.
Services for Mrs. Kelly were held
at the Methodist church on Tuesday
afternoon, being simple and beauti-
full in the extreme. The fire depart
ment attended in a body and the
pallbearers were brakemen friends
of Mr.. Kelly. The floral offerings
from friends were many and beauti-
full. The sympathy of the commun-
ity is extended to the family in their
sad bereavement.
Mrs. Kelly and mother had been
living on the claim near Terry for
some time past, only recently COM
ing to the city when Mrs. Kel1y's last
illness necessitated it.

OVERCOME BY GAS
Noxious Subterranean Vapors Snuff Out the Lives
of the Arnold Brothers at Belle Prairie.

The community was saddened last
Monday to learn of the sudden death
which had stricken two of the most
promising young citizens of the coun-
ty on the day previous-the Sabbath
day. The fatalities occurred at the
ranch home of the two brothers in
question at Belle Prairie. 1t was the
insidious seeping of gas into a well
that caused grim Death to stalk forth
into the pleasantness of an autumn
afternoon. The whole event seemed
like the reaching of an invisible hand
from out infinite space, and the con-
sequent noiseless striking down of
these two young settlers.
Charles and John Arnold were the
two victims. The homes of the two
brothers were on adjoining ranches
with the houses about a mile apart,
and the fatal well situated between
them On Sunday afternoon Charles
and his wife had taken walk out over
the claim. Coming to the we'll, the
young man chanced to think of a
wrench left in it's depths, and decided
to go down and get it. So he was
lowered by means Of the windlass.
Hardly had he reached the bottom,
however, when he began to feel the
noxious effects of the gas and called
to his wife. But the rope having slip
ped off the windlass, before she could
be of any assistance, he had been
overcome. Then Mrs. Arnold hurried
after the brother with all speed. Be-
ing informed the latter responded at
once, and dashing to the we'll, descend
ed, without seeming to be aware of
the fearful danger beneath the sur
face. By the time Mrs. Arnold reach
ed the place again with more help both
brothers had lapsed into stupor and

A GREAT SHOWING

E. C. Leonard, the popular boom
er of the famous Thirteen Mile
country, gives the Monitor some ex-
ceedingly interesting information
regarding the crops produced on
the experiment station farm on
Thirteen Mile this year. Comparison
shows that these crops are the best
grown in the state by any of the ex-
pertinent stations. which is only an
other proof of the superiority of
Dawson county products.

following grains: Turkey Red win
