The roundup record. [volume] (Roundup, Mont.) 1908-1929, 1909-11-05

Fergus county will this year have
about 100 carloads of potatoes to
ship to the outside markets. The
county usually produces sufficient
potatoes to meet the local demand,
although this has not always been
the case, but this year more farmers
have grown the tubers and the crop
is an immense one. There will also
be surplus of some 25 carloads of
cabbages to be shipped away.

George pirrie, Rothiemay Sheepman,
Said to Have Violated Contract
Labor Law,

Alleging 20 separate and distinct
violations of the contract labor law,
suit has been brought in the feder-
al court against George Pirrie,
prominent sheeman of Fergus coun-
ty for judgment in the sum of $780,
600 and costs.
The evidence against Pirrie was
obtained by the immigration service
of this district, under Chief inspect
or Alfred Hampton. 1t is said that
Pirrie, declining to pay the prevail
ling scale Of wages to sheepherders
OF $40 a month, contracted with the
inhabitants Of Scotland and England
to work for him for $50 month, a
years contract being made.
Twenty causes OF action are al
legged, all practically the same ex-
cept the names of the aliens. 1t is
alleged that Feb. %, 1909, Pirrie
had inserted in the Peoples Jour-
nal, published in Aberdeen and
Dundee, Scotland, the following ad-
vertisement:
TO farm servants: w. G. Matt
land, clothier, Langside, has been
instructed by George Pirrie, Ameri-
ca, late Of Rothiemay, Aberdeen
shire, to engage IA farm servants
and six sheepherders to sail the
twelfth of March, wages, $50 Il
month and board and years en-
gagement. Apply at once to W. J.
Maitland. p. S.-All applicants to
pay their own fare"
1t is alleged that as result of
this advertisement and oral agree
ment and promise of employment,
divers persons migrated to Rothie-
may, Mont, and worked for Pirrie.
who ratified the agreement told of
the advertisement.
1t is charged that the following
came to the United State in pur-
suance to the agreement, which, it.
is alleged, violates the contract la
Dor law: John Birnie, David kellas,
Thomas Garrow, Peter Riddle,
Peter Dugnid, William Milne. V.
Barry, JONES Peterson and Alexan-
der Cummings.
It is further alleged that the de-
fendant entered into express parole
contracts, also in violation of the
labor law, with the following resi-
dents of Canada. the contracts be-
ing made at Toronto, Canada:
Adam Stewart, William Murry.
James Wilson, Charles Farquhason,
Henry Ruddick, John Law, Sam
Thompson, Edward Sealder. James
Davidson and William Moffet.
All OF these persons are aliens,
the complaint charges, and none
skilled workmen or members OF
any learned profession.
The law provides for the intlietion
of thousand dollars penalty for
each infraction of the contract law
and, therefore, $4,000 is demand-
ed in all. It is charged that the
Scottish aliens were imported in
March, 1909, and the Canadian
aliens in 1908,

MINER DIS fR0N BLOWS ON HAD
Saloon Brawl at Camp No. 2 Results
Fatally-Bartender May Be
Charged With Murder.

Jake Dubrowitz, miner employ
ed at Camp No. 2 Of the Republic
Coal Co., died at 5 clock Wednes-
day morning from a hemorrhage
and conclusion of the brain, the re-
suit of an alteration, it is alleged,
with a bartender, Thomas James,
which occurred in the Keenan, saloon
the night before. Dubrowitz, in
company with two Austrian miners,
were in the saloon when some
trouble arose between the bartender
and one of the party. Dubrowitz
entered in the controversy, which
finally resulted in the bartender as
sailing the party and attempting to
remove them from the place. In
the scuffle which followed Dubro-
WITT was hit over the head twice,
presumably with some blunt instru-
ment, altho the evidence at the cor
oner's inquest was conflicting as to
the manner in which he was struck.
Some Of those who witnessed the
fight declare that a pickhandle was
employed in hitting Dubrowitz,
while Others say the bartender used
only his fists. The trouble happened
between seven and eight O'Clock
Tuesday evening. Dubrowitz died
the next morning at o'clock.
Coroner G. Herman Smith, De-
putty Sheriff Bateman and A. L.
Mitchell, of the county attorneys
Office, came out from Billings
Wednesday afternoon to investigate
the case. A coroner's inquest was
held over the body Wednesday
evening, the finding of the jury be-
ing that the deceased came to his
death as a result of hemmorrhage
and concussion of the brain caused
dy fracture of the skull, resulting
from uncertain causes, possibly thru
scuf1le with one, Tom. James.
James was taken to Billings in
custody of Deputy Bateman and is
now confined in the county Jail
awaiting his preliminary examina-
ton which will be held in few
days. Advice from Billings this
morning is to the effect that he may
be charged with first degree mur-
der.
The body of Dubrowitz was
brought to Roundup and post
mortem examination was held by
Drs. Welsh and Brissenden. The
atopsy showed clearly that death
resulted directly from injuries in
flicted on the head, and that there
were no other contributing causes.
The skull was fractured on the right
side and a clot of blood as big as
fist was found ON the brain. There
was also a severe bruise on the left
side Of the head which resulted in
conclusion of the brain.
Dubrowitz was an Austrian, hav-
ing come here several months ago
from Red Lodge. The remains
were inferred in the city cemetery
this afternoon. No trace of relatives
of the dead man can be found.

SCIENTIFIC SOIL CULTURE.

TNYROF. CAMPBELL the Father of Dry Farming"
N2 and one Of the best known authorities on scen-
tho soil culture in the country, in his lecture here
Tuesday, laid down the following three rules to
be followed by those who wish be assured success in
farming the semi-arid regions of the west:
The soil should be moist when plowed.
?. The under portion of piowed ground should be
made fine and firm.
g. The surface should always be kept loose SO for
possible.
This, in nutshell. constitutes the system Of dry farm
ing taught by Prof Campbell and which has brought
to many farmers hruout the West
"lhe best methods to be pursued in raising crops in
any country with moderate allowance of rain fall said
Prof Campbell in his lecture have been ascertaned only
after many years of experimental work and observations
and after encounterng many miserable failures and puzz
ing obstacles strict adherence % the principles Of
scientific soil culture brings farming down to positive
business proposition; to attempt to farm in haphazard
is nothing but gambling"

Drifting is in progress on the 400

to turn into ore at almost any time.
There is no question but that the
great Red Top vein goes through the
Booth ground, and logically ought to
make this one of the good producers
of the district, but the famous Co.
lumbia Mountain fualt is in close
proximity to the Booth workings, and
it seems to have had an adverse in
