SfiE FCiLEb A PLOT,
How Mime. Albonf Frustrated
Scheme to Hiss Her.

LINN
Scheme to Hiss Her.
"Once upon a time, when Nine. A1bonj
was at Trieste" writes Henry G. Lahse In
Famous Singers Of Today" "she wa
informed Of the existence Of q plot to hiss
her off the stage. Having ascertained tha
names of her detractors and where they
were to be found, she donned male attire,
10 which her short hair and robust figure
helped to complete her disguise, and went
to the cafe at which the co~nspirators met.
Here she found them In full consultation,
and taking q seat at a table she listened
10 their conversation for q time After
awhile she addressed the leader, saying:
II hear that you intend to play a trick
upon some one. I am very fond Of a lit
tie practical joke myself and should b
glad If you would allow me TO join you
on this occasion"
"'With pleasure was the reply. We
intend to hiss An opera singer of the stage
this evening"
"'Ipdeedl And of what is she guilty.
ooh, nothing, except that, being an
italian, she has sung in Munich and Vi
anna t German audiences, and we think
she ought to receive some c~astigation fol
her unpatriotlc conduct
al agree with you, and now please tell
me what I am to do
"'Take this WHISTLE said the leader.
At a signal to be given at the conclusion
Vt the air sung by Rosina the noise will
oegin, end you will have to join in
al shall be very glad to do 3d. said
The singer and put the whistle In he1
pocket.
SIN the evening tho house was packed
every seat was occupied-and the au.
dience warmly applauded the opening
numbers of the opera. In due course
Nine. Alboni appeared, and at the point
nt which she was about tP address hen
tutor a few of the conspirators began ia
make a disturbance, not waiting for tho
signal.
"Without showing any concern, Nine.
Alboni walked down to the footlights,
and, holding up the whistle, which wal
hung to her neck by a ribbon, she e1'
claimed: Gentlemen, are you not a little
before your timer I thought we were not
to whistling tpntl I had sung
the air.
"For a moment a deathly stiffness pre-.
vailed; then suddenly the house broke In.
to thunders Of applause, which was led b
tho conspirators themselves"

"Oh, worse than thatl My Arthur

not that he could gaze affectionately Al

"That is really very nice Of him. And.
pray, is it that you are crying fors

INJURED In A SMASHUP
Mr.. William Lunceford Formerly Of
harlowtoa Sustains a Broken Rib
Result Of Runaway.

Mr.. William Lunceford came in
from his ranch in the mountains
northeast of Harlowton on Tuesday.
This is the first trip he has made to
town for three weeks owing to the
fact that he was badly shaken up
in runaway.
lie was alone at the time about six
miles from Bercail, when the horse
he had hitched in a buggy became
unmanageable, and dashed away. The
horse was young and strong. 1t ran
for about mile through fences over
bitches towards Bercail. The buggy
was smashed to pieces. Mr.. Lunce-
ford is an old man, Civil War veter-
an, and a cripple. Although he has
been laid up for several weeks with
his injury, it is fortunate that the
accident did not have more serious
results.

to prove up, and retain their claims.
1t is thought by some that this ac-
tion has been taken to retain sheep
range and is therefore questionable
but the demand for land in this sec
tion is SO prevalent, that the parties
interested must act in good faith or
lose their rights.
The immediate resultsof the action
of the board in withdrawing this land
will be detriment to Harlowton as it
prevents settlers locating in the vici-
nifty of the town. However the re-
clamation of large portion of the
territory that will come under the
ditch, which would not otherwise be
settled, will in the end have beneti-
cial results. The railroad, school and
decided lands in this section will be
left for settlers and it is very likely
that this will be grabbed as soon as
possible

The secretary of the Musselshell
Valley Business Mems association
has just received a communication
from H. Spencer, Division Superin-
tendant of the c. NJ. & P. S. in ans
wer to requests that sidewalks be
laid from the depot to the brow of
the hill. In the letter Mr.. Spencer
states that Mr.. r. A. Good has been
given instructions TO build this side
walk.
Mr.. Good states that he is ready to
begin almost any time. 1t is expect
ed that the new sidewalk to the de-
pot will be built and ready for use on
the 4th of July. every little bit
added to what you got, makes just
a little bit more"
1t is long stretch between the de-
pot and the hill, and when it rains it
has been inconvenient for pedestrians
on account of the mud. The new
walk will put an end to muddy shoes
between the depot and town.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
President Duniway of University Of
Montana Sees Har.
lOWt0n,

HarloWtOn was honored by a visit
from an educated and talented gen
tleman last Friday, in the person of
President Duniway of the University
of Montana. He was on his way to
Lewistown where he was scheduled to
address the graduating class of the
Fergus county high school, but on ac-
count of the delayed train from the
east, he was unable to reach Lewis
town in time for the exercises. He
spent the time between trains look
ing over the town. Although disap-
pointed in not being able to get to
LewistOWn to deliver his address,
the President did not loose the oppor-
tunity to drop bouquet for Harlow
ton. 1t was his first trip into this
section, and he was surprised at the
substantial growth and development
of the towns and surrounding coun-
try.

CLEANED UP TOWN
Citizens Make a Big Improvement
By Picking up Rubbish and
Waste Matter.

Last Tuesday was generally observ-
ed in Harlowton as civic holiday
for the purpose of cleaning up the
town. The town conncil had set
apart the day, and requested that
the business houses should close.
Many establishments closed pursuant
to the request, which enabled the
employees to clean up the yards and
streets.
The result has been very satisfac-
tory and beneficial. A large number
of back yards were cleaned of rub
bish. Stones that were a constant
menace to horses in the streets were
picked up, and large part of the
town took on an appearance of clean
illness. The rubbish was picked up
and placed in heaps, and on Wednes-
day Marshall karnop had refuse
wagon gather up all the piles.
There are number of lots yet to
be cleaned. 1t is up to the owners to
see that these vacant spots are as
neat and clean as the OF her parts of
town. Harlowton will celebrate the
4th of July this year and it is hoped
by the business men that all will take
an interest in making the town look
as clean and progressive as possible.
1t is the intention of the council to
have all the sidewalks laid for the
celebration, and with rubbish and
other waste matter cleared up, Har-
Iowton can entertain as well as any
of them.

SOLD AGAIN
Harlowtonites Were Stuns Wednes
day Evening at the Farce Put
On at Opera House.

A large number wound their way to
the Opera House Wednesday to see
what was footed to be a first class
show, but lemons were handed out in
large quantities. The moving pic
lures were so blurred that they were
irritating and painful to the eyes.
The musical numbers were ordinary,
and with the exception Of the from
bone solo, by the Dutch comedian,
the show as whole was much below
the mediocre.
The managers of the opera house
are not to blame. 1t is their inten.
tion to give the public here good
shows for their money. But misre-
presentation is a trick of the show
business, and the result is that some
one bears the sting, and that some
one is generally the manager as his
future receipts generally indicate.

LAND WITHDRAWN
Territory North and West of Town
to be Reclaimed by Carey
Land Act.
Land Act.

About 10000 acres north and west
of HarlowtOn has been withdrawn
from homestead entry under the
Carey Land Act. The plat was filed
at the U. S. Land Office in Lewis
town Thursday morning. In that
part of the township in which Har-
lowton is situated which lies north of
the river, there is very little govern
ment land that is not withdrawn un-
der the plat just filed. The same can
be said of the township Immediately
west. All the land south of the Mus
selshell is still open for settlement
The proposed ditch begins above
Matinsdale and runs along the base
of the mountains and reclaims prac-
tically all the land north and east of
town between the river and the ditch.
Those who have homesteads in this
territory, or who have filed previously
to Thursday morning will be allowed

NO DOUBT
AS TO MILL
H. B. Essers Sr. and W. N. Smith
Say Flour Mill for Harlowton
is a Certainty.

II. B. Eggers Sr. and w. N. Smith,
of Grafton, N. d., the president and
treasurer respectively of the Grafton
Roller Mill Company, paid us visit
visit the during the week, and
in conversation with several of their
friends from North Dakota, they
stated that the -four mill for Harlow
ton was sure thing They desire to
locate on the main line, and if the
site should be farther west they
would have to contend with soft
wheat, but at Harlowton they have
all the advantages and facilities that
railroad center affords, besides the
mill will be able to make big saw
ing in freight rates. The wheat from
the Judith Basin will be handy for
milling, besides the wheat country
around Har.owton will have a ready
market.
The company also expect to get
large amount of wheat from Dakota,
which will be milled at this point
and then shipped on to Seattle.
Rates can be secured from the Mil
waukee Company so that the wheat
can be milled in transit without extra
freight charges. 1t is understood
that Lewistown has offered large
bonus to the mill company to locate
there, but the basin city has not the
railroad facilities that are afforded at
Harlowton, and Mr.. Eggers thinks
that the saving in freight rates
would in one year cover the bonus
offered.
While here the mill company select
ed site, which is on the west side of
the old Jaw-bone track, near the
stock yards Mr.. Graves has offered
this site for a nominal consideration,
and has guaranteed all the building
stone that will be required free of
cost. The company are anxious that
they be furnished water supply for
washing the grain, with this supply
of water they will be in position to
erect mill here with 300 barrel Ca
pacity from the outset which will be
increased later on.
Mr.. Smith states that they expect
to build this summer and have plans
for four story stone building fifty
by ninety that can be easily increas-
ed. Both he and Mr. Eggers are
very enthusiastic over the outlook
and returned home Friday afternoon
satisfied with the deal made.

DRUGGISTS ARRIVE
New Firm Will Open in Three
Weeks Splendid
Fixtures.

H. E. Hawley and his partner
George Farr both of Hensel, North

They have ordered some very hand

new drug store that is nearing COM
pletion on Central Avenue. Mr. Haw-
ley stated that he expected the store
would open up in about three weeks,
but that he will not likely have a
soda fountain.
Mr.. Del McGuinn also of Hensel ac-
companied Mr.. Farr on his trip tC
Montana. He is representing large
number of land seekers from that
part of Dakota, and will look over
the country around Harlowton fol
several weeks. Mr.. McGuinn is a
grain buyer of prominence in NORTH
Dakota, but may change his Il cation
if the opportunity presents itself.

Locals Win.

The Harlowton boys succeeded in
putting it over the fast bridge build
ers team Tuesday evening to the tune
OF Ia to >, Edison record. The exh-
bilion would be shameful even in tle
dark ages, and was as full of mistakes
and errors as the first lesson of be-
ginner in Commercial College. The
bridge builders ran bases like a child
trying to cheat in examinations, get
ting caught in the act. The game
was replete with hits, and hot drives
that would wilt the feathers in
Maude's new boa. The feature of
the game was Che bunco trick put on
by Lord, who wound his elongated
wing like bowling dervish before
delivering the ball. this had the ef-
feet to put the "kibosh' on the pile
drivers, and to give them thoughts
of wonderland.
Only five innings were played, but
during that time 10 men had run
around the entire chalk line. Nine
times the locals put the ball in some
nasty place where log beavers could
not handle 1.-THE log the heavers re-
turned the compliment by getting
seven hits off the three Harlowton
tWirlerS.
Shirdahl, with the awkward wing,
did the throwing for the strangers,
and considering the sluggers upon
whose cOuntenances he was compelled
to gaze, he did exceeding well, he
was backed up by jumper named
Paulson. Cooper started in to do the
mound work for Harlowton, but re-
tired in the second in favor of Twit-
chell, one lean, long 1.-the timber rail-
roader, who served some wide and
high ones, "Twitch" was out for
the first time, and displayed a whip,
which if brought down to date in
working-out, would be a mean one.

sweetly all through the rottenness of
the last spasm. The following is a
brief summary of the agony:
