RAILROAD men IN THE CITY
Milwaukee Railroad viii Locate State ImmiQra.
ton Agent In This City.-.TraCk Finished
To HarlOWtOn Within Two Weeks.

That the people OF Fergus county
will be amazed at the rush of i'm
migrants to Fergus county during
the next two years is the opinion of
number of prominent Milwaukee
railroad men who are in the city to-
day.
The party came in last night and
includes immigration Agent Brown
of the entire Milwaukee system, R.
w. Reynolds, who has been appoint
ed immigration agent for Montana
by the Milwaukee company, Walker
Mylner of South Dakota. and J. Q.
Adams, who is associated indirectly
with the Milwaukee Railroad COM
pany in various enterprises.
These gentlemen, together with
]. E. Lane, manager of the Montana
Lumber company, have just returned
from trip along the line as far as
the Musselshell river.
Mr.. Reynolds is so impressed with
Lewistown that he has decided to
make this city his permanent head
quarters. He will fit up a fine office
here and will bring his family here to
reside. He talked entertainingly to
the Democrat concerning the plans
of his company and what they expect
to do toward bringing people into
the Judith Basin.
II must confess that l have never
seen a country which looks better
to me than Fergus county," said Mr..
Reynolds. Il had heard great deal
about the Judith Basin and was pre-
pared to find good country but my
expectations have been more than
realized in every particular. l cx-
pect to establish an office here just
as quickly as possible and will make
this city my home
Work is being pushed vigorously
on the coast extension and with the
open winter which we are having
this wear, Our progress has been sur
orising even to those having the
actual work in hand. The road will
be completed as far as Forsyth by
next Saturday night. Then, there
will be but 45 miles of track between
Miles Citv and Forsyth to be laid
and the rails will be spiked down all
the way to Harlowton. They are
laying track at the rate of four and
one-half miles day so you can see
that within about ten days at the
most, the line will be all completed
except for the leveling work, into
the Meagher county town.

MUCH ACCOMPLISHED AT CONVENTION

The woolgrowers and other Fer
gus county people who attended the
annual convention of the National
Woolgrowers' Association which
was held last week in Helena, re-
turned to the city Friday evening.
Without an exception those who
went to Helena say that the con-
vention was great success in ev-
cry way. Some unusually able ad-
dresses were delivered before the
convention and much to the welfare
of the woolgrowing industry was ac-
complished.
The convention will be held in
Pocatello, Idaho, next year, and the
following officers were elected for
the ensuing twelve months: Presi-
dent, Fred Gooding, of Idaho; vice
president, ]. M. Wilson, of Wyom-
ing; secretary, T. J. Walsh, of Mon
tana; treasurer, Lewis Penwell, Mon
tana.
Since the secretary and treasurer
of the association reside in Helena
that city will be the chief head
quarters of the body for the coming
year.
To the Democrat, Hon. B. c.
White gave most interesting ac-
count of the convention.

doubt but that it is going to ex,
perience a fine growth during the
next few years. 1t is good place
in which to live and l am more than
satisfied to cast my lot with you.'
Mr.. Brown is equally enthusiastic
over the future of this county. He
said that this is the first place he
has ever struck in which he failed to
find a knocker. "I have met a lot
OF people in Fergue county and have
yet to hear the first knock from one
of your residents" said Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Mylner and Mr.. Adams were
equally optimistic over the future
development of Fergus county.
Gene Lane, who accompanied these
gentlemen to the Musselshell, went
down for the purpose of looking ov-
er the ground with a view to the es-
tablishment of some more branch
lumber yards. They have their yard
at Roundup in operation and Mr..
Lane is now preparing to put in
yards at Lavina and Melstone.

ENTIRE FAMILY is MURDERED

What will undoubtedly prove to be
the foulest crime ever committed in
Fergus county was the murder of
Mrs. Fred Schleuter and four child
rem at their little cabin on the Mus
selshell river, about ten miles below
the Mosby post office, last Friday
night.
The perpetrator of the foul crime
tried to destroy all evidences of his
horrible deed by burning the cabin
containing the bodies of his victims.
News of the murder was telephoned
to the officers in this city by Asa
Carpenter from Flatwillow. Chris
Nelson had brought the word from
the Circle Bar ranch, one Of the
neighbors of the unfortunate family
bringing it as far as the Circle Bar.
A telephone message to the Dem
ocrat this morning from Mr. Car
penter states that no additional de-
alls Of the murder has been received
there since the talk with County At
torney Ayers and Sheriff Martin
Sunday afternoon.
Friday night, while returning home
from neighboring place, John An
derson rode by the Schleuter cabin
and discovered that it was afre. Al
though burning rapidly, all portions
Of the cabin was not afire at that
time. Mr.. Anderson rode up as
closely as the blaze would permit
and hollooed several times. Receiv-
ing no answer, he assumed that Mrs.
Schleuter and family were up to his
(Anderson's) house, about one mile
distant and rode on up to the house.
10 his very great surprise, he found
that they were not there and very
quickly rode back to the scene of the
fire
Just as he got there, the roof Of
the building fell in. He notified the
neighbors and by the time the fire
was extinguished, several men were
on the ground.
Bodies Are Found.
After short search among the
embers and ashes, two bodies which
had not been very greatly burned

months ago. Fred Scheuter, the
husband OF the woman who was MUIR
dered, went to Mosby last October
and when he returned, was in dying
condition, being just able to drag
himself into the house and was new
er able to tell his family what was
the. matter with him. He died that
night, the cause of his death being
given as pneumonia. 1t was report
ed that he had saved up 81 900, which
he had left cached somewhere about
the place.
Motive for Crime.
This may or may not have been
the motive which prompted the
crime. People living in that neigh
borhood are said to suspicion a GER
tain party and no doubt the causes
of this suspicion will be thoroughly
gone into by the officers. There is
feeling down there that there is
some connection between the disap-
pearance Of Williams and the murder
of the Schleuter family with the
chances being in favor Of foul play
in connection with the sudden and
peculiar death of Schleuter himself.
A Very Wild Country.
The Schleuters lived on what is
known as the Old Battoms ranch
which is down in the bottom on the
Musselshell river 1t is surrounded
by bad lands Of the widest character
imaginable and the country offers
safe retreat for desperate characters.
Within the next twenty-four hours
u IS probable that some sensational
developments will have materialized
in the case.

the administration with reference to

probably acted wisely in not having
any one there to attempt to answer
this speech.

down alons, the Musselshell.' said
Mr.. Lane to the Democrat this
morning. Roundup is already 60
ing right ahead. Several stores are
going up and they are getting the
big coal mine in shape to be worked
Roundup and Milestone will prob
ably be the principal points on the
Milwaukee down there. Milestone
i'll be important particularly from
the fact that it will be division
point and that coal mine will make
Roundup mighty lively town in
short order. A lot of people will be
settled down in that section during
the next few years and it is going to
become very important part of

Burglars Are at Work,

The first burglary to take place in
Lewistown in several months oc-
Cured last Saturday night when the
Judith Hardware company's store
was broken into and six or seven
fine revolvers, a lot of ammunition
and a knife or two carried away.
The burglars removed a glass from
a door in the rear Of the store and
then easily unfastened the bolts
which held the door closed So far
as the management have been able
to discover, nothing but the guns,
knives and ammunition was taken.
The officers have been working
quietly but steadily on the case and
will use every effort to locate the per-
petrators of the deed.

NEW LINE FOR SPOKANE.
Electric Road From Miles City to
Keith, Fails

The construction Of a railroad up
the Columbia river from Miles city
to Kettle Falls is planned by Jay p.
Graves, head OF the Inland Empire
system Of electric railroads, in case
he is aided and encouraged in his eff
forts to construct a line from Spo-
kane to the Columbia river, says the
Spokane Chronicle.
Mr.. Graves plans do not stop here.
He is working to secure irrigation for
the rich lands in the Columbia valley
in the section named, which have
been proved to be admirably adapted
to fruit raising.
Mr.. Graves would have every acre
Of "teeming intercale and fruitful up
land" planted to orchards and vine-
yards. He says the soil and climate
are equal to any of the fruit produc-
ing sections of the state and that the
opening OF the tract will materially
increase the wealth Of eastern Wash
ington. Several producing orchards
in the territory afford the best proof
that the soil is we'll adapted for fruit
raising and that the climate is all that
need be desired. Mr.. Graves states
that he and those associated with him
will contribute to the opening of the
section.
"This is a project for the accomp-
lishment of which every citizen Of
Spokane ought to boost" stated Mr..
Graves in discussing his plan. "If
the rich valley of the Columbia lying
between Miles City and Kettle Falls
is irrigated and the lands covered
with orchards and vineyards, Spokane
will have at her very doors a fruit
producing section as great as that at
Wenatchee and one that would pos
sibly rival Yakima.
Only Seventy Miles Away.
"If the road to the Columbia is
built, it will bring the rich tract I
have mentioned within two and a
half hours Of Spokane. The line to
Miles City will be about 10 miles long
and the journey could easily be made
within the time stated. The opening
Of an irrigated tract in the vicinity
Of Wenatchee has resulted in the
building up of a city of about 1000
inhabitants. which statistics show
contributes one-fifth as much busi-
ness to the Great Northern railroad
as Spokane. Irrigated fruit tracts
have made Lewiston y prosperous
city of 5000 to 10000 inhabitants.
and since the irrigated tracts at Va
kima were started. that city has
grown until today it has a popula-
tion of over 10000.
