IS Head of
Horses Stolen

n. B. Canoy, Of Gossett, Mon
tana, who arrived in the city this
evening from Glendive, in search
of a small bunch of strayed horses,
Informs the Pioneer that something
like thirty five head Of broke horses,
belonging to E. j. Berry, Of Glen
dive, were stolen from the pasture
Oh Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Canoy also stated that he
understood there were several sets
of harness stolen, and it is evident
that a number of the horses were
work horses. They were stolen
from Mr.. Berry's pasture about
two miles west of Glendive, ard
the owner of the stock now has
party working the country west of
that place in persuit of the thieves.

Hints on
Road Laws

AS stated i'll the last issue of the
Pioneer there are many important
points concerning the road laws of
Montana, illegal fencing etc., that
the settlers Of this vicinity are not
aware Of ana which we are desirous
of bringing before them at this
time. Also few suggestions as to
what may lead to the most prac-
tical method Of bettering the pres
ent road situation.
According to information from
Attorney Fisher, regarding the
closing Of old roads that have be-
come public highways, anyone do
ing SO without being authorized by
the county commissioners, through
means of a petition, are violating
the law, and in cases where this is
done the offender is held respon-
sible for any damages that may oc-
cur thereby, and subject to fine
While in some cases where the
roads are fenced up very little
change is brought about, there are
many instances where roads are
blocked with no possible means OF
getting around them with a load.
Road Commissioner Bell informs
us that in all cases where a public
road is closed, the party demanding
same is required to open up and
build a suitable road around their
property.
When we recently referred to a
cooperation of the farmers as a
most practical system Of establish
ing good roads, We did not infer
that this work necessarily need be
gratis, but instead Of paying cash
for road tax-as we understand q
number have done-we would sug.
gest that each one work out his tax,
which he is allowed to do, and il
necessary, throw in ali extra halt
day with man and team, and in this
way we would overcome the bad
road conditiona, and soon have
good highways.

nearby town saw a farmer receiving
goods at the station, from Chica-

He approached the farmer and said
