overlook some of his friends-they
are so many in Wyoming and Mon

Dunbars Great Success.

What is considered by many as
the "classiest" entertainment ever
given in this city was that by the
Dunbar quartet last Thursday even
ing. The entertainment was one of
the Lecture Club numbers and the
management experienced all sorts of
difficulty in securing a place. Gull
ver's hall having been previously en-
gagged, it was first arranged to hold
the musical in Harmony Hall but
Chief Bebb decided that as the hall
did not have the exits required by
law, it would not be we'll to permit
the entertainment to be held there.
The Methodist church was finally Sc
cured and was crowded to its utmost
capacity, many standing throughout
the entire program.
The Dunbars are certainly a great
aggregation, individually and col
lectively. Every member is an artist
of the highest order Their bell ring
ing met with the manifest approval OF
the audience and the vocal and in
strumental numbers were likewise
well received.
The next number on the Lecture
Club program will be lecture by
Governor Johnson, the famous Mime.
sofa executive. Governor Johnson is
recognized AZ one of the really great
men of the country and is said to be
an orator of compelling magnetism
That he will be greeted by crowd
ed house is a certainty. Lewistown
is lucky in securing him for this place
as he is booked for only two or three
lectures in Montana this year.

Phillips, president of the Empire
Bank & Trust company, and one of
the oldest residents of this part OF
the country, was nominated for the
office of mayor of Lewistown last
night. The nomination came en-
tirely unsolicited. In fact, Mr.. Phil
lips had repeatedly refused to permit
his name to be used in connection
with the honor until the persistent
urging of his friends prevailed upon
him to agree to accept the place if
it were rendered him.

his revolver and shot Rowan in the

fired the shot he said "How do Won

Stage Driver Testifes.
The principal witness for the state.
Herbert Clayton, the stage driver. was
lrst placed on the stand. He made
good witness and was never con-
fused. In brief his story was that he
lett Grass Range early in the morn
ing of the 10th with Rowan and
Iabor as passengers. Both were
drinking and quarrelng. Tabor was
sitting on his bed in the rear of the
wagon and Rowan was sitting in the

Decide On School Site.
After transacting the usual routine
business, the question of deciding up
on the choice of site for the pro-
posed new school building was taken
up. A number OF sites had been Of
fered but after going into the situa-
ton thoroughly, it was decided by
the board to put the new building
over on what is known as Buckskin
Flat, if it meets with the approval of
the taxpayers of the district.
The site decided upon is an entire
block of ground just across the wagoa
bridge on the Boulevard and opposite
the residence of J. w. Hughes. Mr..
Hughes, the owner of the property.
has offered it to the district for $4,000
ard the price seems very reasonable.
