WILL HAVE PICNIC
People North of Cruise to Celebrate
the First Year of
Settlement.

The people living on the bench
lands north of Cruise will celebrate
their first year in that vicinity, and
their first crops by giving picnic.
The date of the festival is not def
nitely settled but it will be scme
time during the present month, and
will be held in Pine-Tree grove.
Thomas Cummings, one of the
boosters of that section was in town
the fore part OF the week, and an
nounced the picnic, and also stated
that the gardens and other crops
looked so well and had made such
splendid progress that they were
worthy of some recognition, especial
ly since they are the first crops.
The country north Of the little
town of Cruise is rapidly coming to
the front as one of the best farming
districts in this section. They have
a large number of settlers on the
bench lands there, and many more
are coming in. Dry farming is in its
experimental stage, and SO far the
experiment has revealed wonderful
results. The people are happy and
contented, a condition which gives
promise of prosperity.

ROBBERY
Gold Bar Saloon Belonging tt
Christianson and Qualls
is Tapped.

On Wednesday night, shortly after
midnight, robbers broke into the
Gold Bar Saloon, of which Christian
son and Qualls were the proprietors,
and made getaway of one hundred
dollars. No clue has yet been dis
covered that will lead to the appre-
hension of the thieves. Efforts are
being made to ascertain some evidence
that will enable the officers to make
arrests.
The bartender had locked the build
ing about IL O'Clock, and had left
about 800 in cash in the till, no one
was around at that time. In the
morning there was thirty cents left
in the drawer where the $lOO was
placed. This appears to be all that
is known of the circumstances of the
robbery.
The saloon firm of Christianson
and Qualls had decided to dissolve on
Wednesday SO that the robbery had
no bearing on the dissolution.

FAST WORK
ThoneY Dreyer and Crew Of Men
Put up Ball Park
in Hurry.

About the fastest piece of construc-
work that has been done in this sec
tion is nearing completion on the
railroad flats south of town. Thoney
Drever got the notion Thursday noon
that the proposed ball park should be
erected without further delay. Man
ager Lewellin gave him authority to
to go ahead with the project. Then
Thoney got busy. A dozen men were
set 70 work digging post holes and
putting in posts, and the first half
day saw nearly all the posts in. Fri
day morning saw the men at work
bright and early and by night the
ground was almost enclosed.
The rapidity with which the fence
was built would lead one to believe
that the work was not well done, but
the fence is solid and tight. 1t is
kite shaped and is larger than the or
dinary grounds. Good gates will be
set swinging tomorrow. A ticket Of
fice in the corner next to town will
also be built, and the grounds will be
entirely ready for the game Sunday.
1t is not definitely settled what
team will be here Sunday. but it is
most likely that Twodot will be the
town that will dedicate the now park
on June 9th. The "long talked Of
game with the bridge-builders has
been postponed until a week from
Sunday and will be played here June
l3th
Now that the park has been built,
more games will be played here.
Lewistown and Moore are coming in
the near future. Roundup and Three
Forks want games. All that is re-
quired is to keep away from the
hardware store and throw away the
little hammers you already have.

Special Session Of Council Decides to
Take1n Van Cleve Addition.
Conditions.

At special meeting of the town
council held Monday, it was decided
to approve the new Van Cleve ad-
dition. The matter of approving of
this addition has been before the
council for some time, but there has
been some difficulty over the streets
to the new section. Mr.. Graves and
Mrs. Van Cleve appeared before the
council. The former agreed to allow
the city the privilege of using the

iod of three years and the latter
agreed not to make further demands
upon the town for streets to the new
part for the same period. Both the
councilmen and the owners of tie
new addition are glad that the matter
has been satisfactorily adjusted.

Children Entertain.

''The Rescue of the Princess Win
some" was the title of an attractive
entertainment given in the Opera
House Wednesday evening by a num-
Der of Harlowton young people under
the direction Of Mrs. j. w. Freeman.
The play was taken from series
of stories by Mrs. Annie Fellows
johnson. A horrible Ogre has stolen
two royal children from their parents
and has locked them in his tower pri-
son. He had induced Wich to turn
the Prince into dog. A brave
Knight, Zeal the Faithful, offers his
services in rescuing the captives, and
after much wandering, finds the
South Winds flute which enables
him to summon fairy band to his
aid. The fairies bind the Ogre and
Witch, who are made to give up the
key to the tower and divulge the
spell that keeps the Prince dog
The costumes were especially good.
In the tower scene the Princess at
iiCl bllC oCSCI dl llOWCI
messengers sent by the Knight to
bear tidings of the progress Of his
quest caused much favorable COM
ment. But the climax came when
the fairy band, Queen Titania at
their head, came dancing in, clad in
glittering stars, holding bouncing
balloons on which they had floated
from their far-off summer land.
The young people have been inter
ested in raising money for the win
dows to be put in the new Methodist
Church. They have given occasional
entertainments during the winter,
and the proceeds from Wednes-
day evening bring their fund up to
$l05.

MINNEAPOLIS HERE
Fifty Business Men From Special Are Enter.
tanned in "The Pride of
the Musselshell.

Harlowton performed the grand act
Wednesday afternoon by entertain.
ing for an hour about fifty business
men from Minneapolis, representing
as many different jobbing houses.
The special from Minneapolis arrived
about O'Clock. 1t was met at the
depot by the band and a large num-
Der of citizens, and number of rapid
acquaintances were made. 1t was a
jolly time and happy crowd.
The band then led the way to the
opera house, and the business men
and visitors followed in double file.
The Minneapolitianas had the oppor-
tunity of seeing the town, and many
called on their customers here. At
the opera house Mayor A. T. Ander-
son presided, and after the band had
rendered another selection that
brought forth a round of applause, he
introduced Attorney w. &. Husband,
who delivered the address of welcome.
He stated that the town was thrown
open to the visitors as it was proud
and honored to entertain number of
business men from the greatest city
in the northwest. He also referred to
the close connection between Mime
apolis and Montana, due to the fact
that Minneapolis was the great -four
ing center of the world, and that
Montana was "rapidly throwing aside
boots, snaps, spurs and six-shooters, ;"
and coming to the front as wheat
state, and ended by giving the visi-
tors some advice from the experience
of tenderfoot,
Mayor Anderson then intro duced
Wallace G. Nye, the secretary of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
who responded to the address of well
come. He stated that the purpose of
the visit was to bring the wholesaler
and the retailer into closer connec-
tion, and to form that friendship that
is SO beneficial in trade. In compli-
menting the citizens here on the
hearty reception and on the rapid
growth of the town, he took occasion
to say that the end should not he all
business, but that it is important to
build town that will make plea
SAINT place in which to live, "a town
in which a man can raise family
and give them the training they de-
serve" He extended the best wishes
of the business interests If Minnea-
polls for the prosperity and growth
of Harlowton, and expressed a hope
that the great Musselshell Valley
would blossom like the rose'.
After the band had played another
selection, that was highly appreciated
the visitors scattered around the
town and called on the different bu-
siness houses. There were laughs
and jokes in parts of the town until
the special pulled out for Lewistown
a little after O'Clock,
The Minneapolis business men are
a gentlemenly and good natured
bunch. Harlowton was pleased to re-
ceive as guests men who are at the
helm OF the jobbing interests of the
northwest. Many compliments were
passed out to the citizens here. The
guests thought that the town showed
a wonderful growth in two years
