BACONS ARE RECONCILED.
Bacons Decide to Try Living To-
gether for Thirty Days at Least.

After giving their domestic in
felicities full and thorough airing
in the court, Mr.. and Mrs. Adelbert
Bacon, of Moore, last Tuesday after
noon decided to accept the advice of
Judge Cheadle and try the task of
living together once more. If, with
IN thirty days, they find that they
cannot occupy the same homestead
without mixing in la Corbett and
Fltzslnmons, something else will
have to be done.
Judge Cheadle had to bring to bear
every bit of persuasive power. at his
command in order to get them to
agree to this thirty day truce. The
husband was, like Barkis, willin', but
Mrs. Bacon was very obdurate and
held off for long while but finally
gave her assent to the proposition
and it is to be hoped that their mari,
tai troubles which included a scnsa-
tional kidnapping, habeas corpus
proceedings and various other legal
steps, are now at an end

ANOTHER CONTEST SETTLED.
Case of Wedved Versus Petersen
Decided By Secretary of Interior.

The decision of the Secretary Of
Interior in which he affrms the de-
cison of the local land office and If
the commissioner of the general land
office, was received at the local land
office this morning.

of Julius Petersen on the ground that
it was non-desert in character and
that it had not been reclaimed in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
desert land act. The ruling of the
local office was in favor of the
claimant Petersen, and this decision
has been sustained by the higher au-
thorities. TIL cease was initiated in
1905, Hilger & Busenburg represent
ing the claimant.

Will CELEBRATE
BURNS BIRTHDAY
CALIFORNIAN CLUB OF GAR
NELL PREPARING FOR
FESTIVE TIME.

Bob She'll, his partner, Mr.. Erick-
son, and other loyal Scotchmen of
the Garneill neighborhood, are max
ing preparations to entertain great
crowd Of the natives Of the Land
O'Cakes one week from next Fri
day, January 24th, which will be the
occasion of the annual celebration OF
the birthday of Bobbie Burns, the
great poet of old Scotia.
The Democrat this week printed
attractive posters advertising the
celebration and all of the Scotch
people in this part of the state are
cordially invited to be present and
participate in the celebration.
The first celebration of the sort
ever held in Fergus county was that
of last year which was held in Gar.
neill and which was great success
from every viewpoint, despite the dis
advantages of very cold weather
which prevented many from a dis
tance from being present.
Burns birthday is January 25th but
owing to the fact that that date falls
on Saturday, it was decided by prac-
tically all of the Caledonan societies
of the state to hold the celebration
on Friday in order that the celebra-
ton, which always lasts until after
midnight, may not run into Sunday.
Fine Program.
Those having charge of the pro.
gram have arranged some excellen,
numbers for the edifcation of the
visitors at Garneill this year.
In the evening, there will be a
grand Scotch banquet at which Hon.
David Hilger will act as toastmast-
er. Johnny Ross will sing couple
of songs, Miss Nellie litter will
favor the crowd with some of her
best Scotch songs and D. K. An
derson will be present to enliven the
guests with the inspiring strains from
the bagpipes, that instrument which
from time immemorial has aroused
the enthusiasm of Scotchmen in
times of peace and led them gaily
to battle in times of war. :.
Following the banquet, there will
be grand ball at which Scotch
dances will be danced by the guests,
many of whom are expected to ap-
pear in Scotch costumes.
All Are Invited.
Mr.. She'll informs the Democrat
that while the occasion is strictly
Scottish, those who are not fortu-
nate enough to be of that sterling
nationality are cordially invited to
be present and see how gathering
of the Clans do things.

Secretary Of Interior ReyerSeS Lower Tribunals
in Celebrated Case Of Robinson Versus
Moore Involving Desert Entry.

After more or less tempestuous
career beginning in the local u. S.
land office and winding up with a
second visit to the Secretary of the
Interior, the famous contest case OF
Robinson VS.. Moore was finally dis
posed of last week, the final de-
cision being in favor of the claimant
Moore.
Caused Much Excitement.
The case was, in many ways, the
most sensational and far reaching
ever brought before the local land
office and created all sorts of agita-
ton for several months.
Every one who was living here at
the time will remember when Rob-
inson started the contest in the latter
part Of 1904 Moore had advertised
to prove up on his desert claim, To-
Gated on the Rock Creek bench, on
December "a, 1904. On November
y, of the same year, Robinson filed
his contest The contest was filed
on the allegations that the land was
non-desert IN character and had not
been reclaimed in accordance with
the provisions of the desert land
law
The excitement over the contest
was caused from the fact that If
Moore should be unable to prove I'D.
the same defect might be found in
scores of desert entries on the
Bench, which was just then coming
into prominence as a grain growing
section. The ranchers on the Bench
held several meetings at which it
was determined to stand with Moore
in the fight and render every pos
sible assistance in fighting the case.
Rumors of wholesale contests flew
thick and fast and the situation was
somewhat ugly for several months.
Robinson Gets First Blood.
After number of continuances,
the hearing before Register Edward
Brassey and Receiver l.. w. Eldridge
OF the local land office came up Feb
ruary 20, 1905, with Attorney Will
Smith (who has since left this city,
on behalf of the contes-
tant and Hilger & Busenburg for the
claimant Owing to the great inter
est which was attracted by the case
and the large number of witnesses
the hearing was held in the district
court room of the county court
house
On the 14th of September of the
same year, the local land office gave
their decision and recommended the
cancellation of the entry The case
was appealed first to the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office and
to the Secretary of the Interior and
each in turn sustained the decision
of the lower tribunal.
It began to look like a hopeless
fight but the attorneys for the
claimant, Moore, filed with the Sec
retary Of Interior, motion to re-
view. This review was held before

RESUME laying OF STEEL

1t has been officially announced
that the Billings & Northern will
start very soon on the work of lay
ing steel and according to dis
patch from Billings, the company ex-
pect to have the connecting link be-
tween the Burlington at Billings and
the Great Northern at Great Falls
completed by the first of June.
Grading About Completed.
In this connection, the Billings
Gazette of recent issue says:
The grading work on the Billings
& Northern is so nearly complet-
cd that the engineers office in this
city was abandoned yesterday and
M. +. Reed, the engineer in charge
of the construction work for the first
lOO miles out of Billings expects to
leave this morning for ST Paul.
More than 90 per cent of the grad
ing wark has been completed on that
part of the line which is under Mr..
Reeds supervision and it is said that
on most of the rest of the line all
Of the grading work is completed and
in some places steel has been laid.
Most of the contractors have COM
pleted their contracts and since late
last fall have been gradually reduc-
ing their forces, so that now there
are fewer graders employed on the
work than at any time since the con-
struction work on the road was
started.
It is very probable that the work
OF laying the steel on this end of the
line will be commenced early in the
spring and be pushed as rapidly as

Selling Oats at Belt.

tribune; Assistant County Attor-
ney A. II. Gray, returned last nipht
from visit at Belt and he reports
that grain shipments there have been
extraordinarily heavy this year, and
that large loads are still coming in
and being bought by the local mer-
chants, who ship the grain cast
Most of the grain shipped is oats,
and tor this the farmers are paid in
cash, according to the grade of the
gram. For the average, 81 a hun
dred is paid; for good feeding oats
$l.2O, and for first class grain thai
can be used in oatmeal factories
Sl.3o These prices are paid for the
gram loaded on the cars The grain
IS mostly shipped to Duluth, where
the greater part of it is used in the
manufacture of oatmeal
while | was standing and watch
ing the loading" said Mr.. Gray. 81

their turn to unload, and three cars
were being loaded. noticed one
man weigh two loads, one of which
was 6,OOO pounds and the other S.

crage, which are about two tons. The

that there still remains a large ouan-
tity of grain to be loaded"

that sum is a reasonable conclusion
from the latest developments.
Camps Great Future.
Never in the history of the camp
have the people of Kendall felt SO
secure in the stability and future
greatness of their town as at the
present time.
More men are now employed there
than at any other time in the history
OF the district and the result of the
work which they are doing is of the
most encouraging nature. The fu-
ture Of the Santiago as great big
mine is assured. The Kendall mine
is being steadily and proftably work.
ed with enough ore blocked out to
keep the mill running for years to
come.
Barnes-King Outlook.
While little is being given out con-
cerning the result of the great amount
OF development work which is being
done by the Barnes-King Develop.
ment company, it is known to be
tact that they are getting the mine
ana mill IN such shape as to enable
them to do some work which will
look good to those who have stock
in the organization. A vast amount
OF dead work has been done bv
Superintendent McGee, and the bene-
hts from this work will soon begin
to show in the shape Of substantial
dividends.
Work On Golden Discovery.
Fifteen men are now at work on
the Golden Discovery. The main
shaft is now down to a depth of $50
teet and Superintendent Jim Whit
taker expects to go on to the 400
foot level where a station will be
cut and cross-cut run to tap the
ore body at that level.
A station has been cut at the ZOO
foot level and they have run $50 feet
on the cross-cut. They expect to
strike the ore body within the next
$50 feet. The miners were laid off
for couple of weeks while the cage
was being installed.
The affairs of the Golden Dis
covery have been handled in most
Dusiness-like manner, and the main
shaft is probably the cheapest ever
put down in this state. The work
has been pushed from the start and
no time is being lost in developing
the Golden Discovery into mine
which will in every way fulfill the
promise held out by its name.
Operations on the North Kendall
have been shut down, pending the ar
rival of pump, water having been
encountered along with some mighty
good looking ore few days ago.
New Work Planned.
. Plans are now being matured for
the starting of work on an extensive
scale on one or two other proper
ties in the district, and altogether,
the camp should be hummer in ev-
cry sense that the word implies, dur
ing the next year.

possible, so that the entire line will
be completed by the first of June at
the latest
Although it is not very probable
that regular trains will be operated
over the new line by June l, it is al
most certainty that trains will be
running on regular schedule in the
fall.
The construction of the Billings &
Northern grade which was started
more than year ago has afforded
employment for hundreds of men on
this end of the line and distributed
hundreds of thousands of dollars in

OF several English warships the officials
at Canton were notified and Immediately
made defenses against any attack the
rebels might make.
Instead OF visiting the holy temple in
the inner city at midnight the viceroy
and oficials remained I'm their respective
offices, securely guarded by soldiers. Ad-
miral Drake was recognized and thanked
as the man who saved the day. He will
return to the hospital in September for
