Roundup Now Connected With
Milestone by Telephone
Line.

The extension of the Lewistown-
Billings Mutual Telephone Cos
line from Musselshell to Milestone
was completed last week. and
Roundup can now talk to the divis-
ion town. A telephone exchange is
also being installed for the conven-
ience of the Melstone people.
It is the intention of the company
to extend the line east of Milestone to
Forsyth, and west from Lavina, the
present end of the line, to Harlow
ton. When the line is completed
Roundup, already being connected
with Lewistown and Billings across
country, will have as good telephone
facilities as any city in the state.
Construction work on the new ex-
tensions will no doubt be COM
menced in the near future.

greater part Of his fine large ranch
near Lavina to a Chicago syndicate
who expect to colonize the tract.
The tract sold comprises about 90
600 acres, and, while the stipulation
is not made public, it is said that
he realized close to 100000 from
the sale. Mr.. Slayton, however,
still retains his home ranch adjoin-
ing the town of Lavina consisting
of about 500 acres, and the old Joe
Mosher ranch in the foothills of the
Snowies of about a thousand acres.
P. B. Walcott of Chicago manipu-

GolZr77ar Brothers Present
Good Exhibition Here
Yesterday.
1900 PEOPLE SEE SHOW
Despite Bad Weather Town Is
Crowded With People from
Country and other Towns

Despite the inclement weather
which prevailed all day with an oc-
casional downpour of rain, fully
1900 people witnessed the perfor-
nance OF the Gollmar Bros. circus,
the first one to show in Roundup.
yesterday afternoon. The steady
rains of the fore part of the week
had played havoc with the roads
leading into Roundup, and it was
almost impossible for people from
any great distance to come in.
Nevertheless, the town was crowed
with people, and Roundup's first
circus day can be called a success.
The circus train, consisting of
twenty-three cars, arrived here from
Miles City at nine o'clock in the
morning, and from the time the
train stopped until it pulled out
again for the west, presented a
scene af activity such as is rarely
witnessed. A big crowd gathered
at the depot to see the novel sight
OF a circus unloading, and they
were not disappointed in seeing
good demonstration Of how mod
ern circus does things.
The rain continued the greater
part Of the day but let up toward
noon, starting in again about four
O'Clock in the afternoon. The circus
was scheduled to give two pref0r-
mances, but the hope Of giving an
exhibition in the evening was aband-
oned. Only the afternoon prefor-
nance was given.
Altho the performance was given
under extremely trying conditions,
the rings being muddy and slippery,
it was Of a high order and would
do credit to a much larger aggrega-
ton. The spectators were we'll
pleased, and the management is to
be congratulated in doing their best
under such adverse circumstances.
1t is estimated that at least 500
pair of rubbers were lost in the mud
on the circus grounds.
The circus train left at nine
O'Clock last night for Harlowton
where they show today. From
there they go to Lewistown.

Up AGAINST It
Locals Loose Another Game Sun
day to Boys of No. 2.

The local base ball nine is travel
ing in bad luck having lost it's
second game Sunday with the mine
No. 2 team. The game, which was
played on the latter's ground. was
a pretty good exhibition with the
exception Of the fourth inning when,
for some reason or other, the law of
gravity was dispensed with for the
space of about fifteen minutes.
When things came down to their
normal plane again the No. 2's had
showed six runners over the rubber
and the game was practically over.
The final score was Z to 8 in favor
OF the boys on Half Breed.
