DEATH OF
E. A. ROBINSON

AT 6:45 Monday morning oc-
Cured the death of e. A. Robin
inson at the home of his brother,
Conductor H. S. Robinson.
Mr.. Robinson had been rail
road conductor in the east, but on
account of his health failing he
came here from Edgewood, Ia., to
stay with his brother in hopes that
the change of climate would benefit
him. The change did help him for
a while and he did grow somewhat
stronger, SO he planned on opening
an employment office here, but did
not do SO on account of not receiv-
ing the support he expected from
the railroad contractors.
He was feeling highly elated over
his improving health, when just a
few days before his death he re-
ceived a telegram from his home
stating that his wife had died,
which crushed all his hopes and
he completely gave up the battle
for life and succumbed to the in
evitable ravages of consumption,
The body was prepared for ship
mcnt by Coroner Waggener and
shipped to Edgewood, Ia, yester-
day for burial, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Robinson.

The Lady Firemen" gave an
other one of their delightful card

sonic hall and quite number en-.
joyed a very pleasant time playing
800"
Mrs. Carl Green won the ladies:
head prize, a creamer and sugar
bowl. Leonard Kohlmier captured
the gentlemen's head prize and
received as a reward shaving mug
and brush. Stanley Deputy as
usual carried off the BOBBY prize
and was given a deck of cards to
take home and practice up for the
next card party, as it is asserted
that he never made one move the
whole evening. Mrs. J. Duncan
won the ladies' consolation prize
and was presented with china
plate.
The ladies plan on giving their
next card party some time after
the first OF the year when everyone

FORGIVEN THIS TIME

A threat, I'D break in the fume
at the power house at Bigfork made
it necessary for the plant to shut
down at 2p. m. Monday, in order
that repairs could be made to prevent
worse condition. The hume was
not broken like it was few weeks
ago, but the earth beneath it had
given away making it unsafe, con-
sequently shut down was neces-
sary.
We have grown so use to the
electricity now that when the lights
are turned off there is general
kick from everyone and the electric
light man is much abused for not
having an auxiliary plant that can
be pressed into service when neces-
sary. 1t happened that the old
plant in the planning mill had been
dismantled just a few days before,
but the lights were not off very long
this time. At $50 they were back
on again and the wheels of business
started turning once more.

HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Slade Taylor, a vaudeville per-
former, who has been appearing in
various roles at the local ten-cent
shows since last summer, and per-
tains some of the charms of the
matinee idol, is languishing in Jail
on the charge of seduction, the
victim being a young girl of re-
spectacle parentage, hence nameless
in this connection. Taylor is
married man and his wife is here.
He is held on bail bond of 500
which could not be procured, and
an examination will be held before
Judge Rognlien later this week.
Arthur Station is another alleged
criminal who is now in Jail accused
of the ruination of his sweetheart in
Columbia Falls.
Still another alleged despoiler of
young girls was captured at West
burg's mill on warrant served by
Deputy Adams, this third member
of the reckless trio being Earl
knutson.-Kalispell Bee.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT
FARMERS INSTITUTE

The sessions of the farmers in
stitutes held in Kalispell Saturday
afternoon and evening were in the
point of attendance and many
other features the best and most
successful ever held in the county.
The church auditorium was crowd
ed, many farmers were present
from all parts of the valley, and
there was much interest in the pro-
ceedings.
The program as prepared was
carried out, the chief interest CEN
tering in Prof. Shaw's actresses on
Forage Plants" and "Montana's
Agricultural Problems." The
chief point emphasized by Prof.
Shaw was the absolute necessity for
Montana farmers devoting more
attention to the raising of stock on
the farm, and raising the necessary
forage crops, if the fertility of the
land is to be maintained. Present
profits might be as great, and work
avoided by the present farming
methods, but he insisted that con-
tinued cropping to grain would in
evitably result in the impoverish-
ment of the soil and lessened crops
in the future. Inter Lake.

BAND TO
RE-0RGANIzE

All Whitefsh will be pleased to
know that the Whitefish band is
going to re-organize. We had one
of the best bands in the county here
for time until some of the men,
bers began to get delinquent and
the organization has been lying
dormant for the past six months.
A meeting is called for tomorrow
evening when all the old members
will get together, with a few new
ones added and it is expected to
start the organization off on a SUBJ
stantial footing for the rest of the
winter.
A. P. Sheridan, who was di-
rector of the band some time ago,
has had considerable experience as
a band master, and under his lead
ership we will no doubt have a first
class band in the spring that will be
credit to the town.
Nearly all the old members are
here yet, except two or three who
have moved away, but their places
can be filled by new members, Sc
there will be the same number OF
pieces that there was last year.
AS the president and the business
manager are gone it will be one of
the first duties to have these offices
filled and rehearsals will be held
twice a week as usual.

DEAD BEATS
CAPTURED

A couple of weeks ago two
travelling eye specialists, or who
pretended to be such, giving their
names as Chester and Berry, ar
rived in Kalispell and operated in
that town and vicinity until some
time last week. They had secured
rooms at the National Hotel and
were boarding there also. One day
they were missed, and upon ex-
amining their rooms which they
had left locked on the inside, it
was found that the birds had flown
and taken all their belongings with
them.
To all appearances they had
taken the baggage out of the room
by way of a fire escape, in the
night and got away on No. 43's
connection, and from the informa-
tion that the sheriff could gather it
was thought that they had left the
state. In addition to beating the
National out of about forty dollar
board bill they carried off glasses
that had been left with them for
examination and repair.
Last Thursday Officer Parent re-
ceived a 'hunch" that two men
who were about town were probably
the parties wanted, and watched
their movements closely, and in
the mean time called the sheriff up.
After remaining here a short time
they attempted to leave on No. 3,
but Parent detained them.
When questioned by the officer
one Of them posed as a butcher and
the other as q doctor, and put up
such a good defense with their
bland talk that Parent almost be-
lieved them and very nearly al
lowed them to go, but ON second
thought held them until the sheriff
arrived. With their con" talk
they almost had the sheriff con-
vinced that they were not the men
wanted also. but they We're locked
up for little while and thinking
they might get out of it easier il
they confessed, they owned up that
they were the men wanted.
Sheriff O'Connell took them to
Kalispell on the evening train
where they were put in Jail, as they
did not have any money.
Since then Mr.. O'Connell is
convinced they are the two men
who are wanted in North Yakima,
WASH, for forgery.

ABOUT SMALLPOX

Governor Norris has called a
special session of the state board Of
health, to be held in the governors
reception room on the afternoon of
Dec. Is, to give citizens chance
to protest against the order of the
board, which goes into effect Jan.
l, not making quarantine for small
pox compulsory.
In his letter Governor Norris says
that many reputable citizens have
protested against this order, and he
therefore calls the meeting to give
them hearing. .s2sss

TRAVELLING FREAK
PASSES THRU HERE

An old crutch, battered, worn and
weather beaten, that probably SER
we'd some poor cripple we'll at one
time in the past, but now having
the appearance of having been
relegated to the scrap pile for a
great length of time, was received at
this express Office last week, cov-
cred with express tags from cities
all over the United States as if it
had been decorated with medals as
a reward for the good purpose it
had served.
The crutch had evidently been
started on it's journey by some ex-
press agent in Peoria, ILL.,, who
wished to have a little sport and
shipped it to Seattle with instruc-
tions to pass it on. Ever since
then it has been on the move and
has travelled thousands of miles and
every station where it was put off,
another tag was put on it from that
station and passed on to the next
