CITY DADS
CONVENE
Council Meet Wednesday Evening
and Enlarge the Copper
ate Limits.

The city fathers men in regular
session last Wednesday in the Urner
Mercantile Company's Store. 1t was
the last meeting of the old council,
but not the least. The old council
made itself memorable by enlarging
the corporate limits Of the city so as
to take in that property on the brow
of the hill towards the depot, and all
that west along the original channe-
of the Musselshell. After allowing
number of bills against the city,
the matter of enlarging the city
limits was brought up for discussion.
There had been several written OBJ
jections filed with the clerk, pursuant
to the notices published in the paper
against the proposed addition but
the council disregarded these for the
reason that objections were made by
freehOlders, but not resident freel
holders as required by the statute.
Attorney L. ID. Glenn appeared be-
fore the council and explained the
objections. The council then adopt
ed a resolution taking in the new
territory, which includes the new no.
tel and adjacent property, the reso-
luton adopted will be published next
week

RUSSELL ON THE ROUNDUP
Noted Cowboy Artist Will Aid in
Corraline Buffalo on the
Flathead Reservation.

"A large bunch of cowboys are now
engaged in rounding up the buffalo
on the Flathead Indian Reservation
The buffalo were purchased by The
Canadian government for the Cana
dian national park near Banff, Alber-
ia. The government across the line
has provided pasture there for 10, 900
buffalo, it is thought the heard will
eventually reach that figure.
Charles M. Russell, who is rapidly
coming into prominence as the COW
boy who can paint western scenes in
an artistic manner, is taking part in
the roundup, and will make many
sketches incident to the roundup.
He undergoes the same difficulties in
getting the buffalo into the corrals
and makes the same long jaunts. as
the others.

MURDER AT ROUNDUP
John Black Attempts to Kill Robin
son and Kuntz, Then Flees
to the Mountains.

At late hour Monday night in a
saloon at Roundup, John Black, a
young miner just arrived at the big
coal camp made desperate attempt
to kill William Kuntz and James
Robinson. The latter is a member of
the firm of Martin and Robinson who
carry on a saloon business at tie
coal city. Kuntz was shot through
the shoulder, it was at first reported
that he was killed, but he will recov-
er. The bullet fired at Robinson just
grazed the top of his forehrad. Both
men had narrow escape.
The provocation of the shooting
was a quarrel and some i'll treatment
that Black had received at the hands
of Robinson and the bartender.
Some say he was justified in retaliat-
ing in this manner.
After firing the shots the assailant
fled to the hill that surround the
town of Roundup, and under the Gov
er of darkness has concealed himself.
Up to Friday noon nothing has been
learned Of his whereabouts.
Sheriff Martin of Fergus County
with two deputies and several citi.
zens are in pursuit. The posse are
well armed and provided, and there
is every likelihood that Black will be
run down quickly. The direction
taken by the posse and the meagre
information upon which to work are
similar to that of the posse that cap
tuged the murderer Of Sheriff Webb.

STARTS TO ROLL
Meeting Monday Night Does Things for Baseball
Lewellin Elected Manager.

An enthusiastic meeting was held
in the Urner Hall last Monday for
the purpose of organizing the Har-
lowton baseball team. Mort Level
lin was elected manager, and COM
mittee of three live business men
were selected to collect funds to build
park and select site for the new
baseball park.
Attorney w. G. Husband was plac-
ed in the chair, and Anthony Dreyer
took the floor and gave the meeting
an outline. of what the band is doing
and its financial condition. He asked
that a committee be appointed to COL
lect enough to purchase uniforms for
the organization. After the baseball
matter was disposed Of, the band was
given due attention. MeSsrs Woods
Stevenson and Plat Richardson were
appointed as committee of two to
look after the interests of the band.
The first proposition that came up
in regard to the ball team was the
matter Of grounds. Some thought,
among whom was Plat Richardson,
that the team could get along with
out enclosed grounds. Several
thought that if the grounds were
partly enclosed on the side from
which the crowd came that it
would be satisfactory. But the pre-
vailing opinion seemed to be that the
entire ground should be enclosed.
The proposition of financing the
team was then discussed. The gener-
al opinion seemed to be that if COM
mittee were appointed to solicit funds

as we'll. The school will undoubted-
ly be an advertisement and ornament
for the town.
The site for the new building has
not been selected so far, but site
will be selected that will be conven-
lent, and which will be convenient
for the children of the grades and al
so for pupils in the high school. The
building will be built with the view
OF establishing high school rooms and
conducting first class high school
course. This will be an inducement
to keep many students at home that
are annually sent to high schools in
Helena and Bozeman. The board
will probable make provision for the
vote on the site in the near future, as
the patrons are anxious to see the
building in the course of construc-
tion.

BONDS CARRY
Taxpayers of Harlowton School Dis
trict Vote School Bonds by
Large Majority.

Last Saturday was red letter day
for education in Harlowton. The
taxpayers of the district got together
at the school house and voted to bond
the school district for s2l, 900. The
vote showed the absolute desire of
the people for first class school.
When the ballots were counted the
vote stood Y for bonding and
against. 1t was anticipated that the
bonds would carry, but no one was
optimistic enough to expect such a
decisive vote.
The action of the school board in
putting the matter to a vote, and the
hearty support given the proposition,
shows the progressive spirit of all con-
cerned. Harlowton is badly in need
OF a new school. The present build
ing from the standpoint of sanitation
and capacity is entirely inedaquate.
With the rapid increase of popula-
tion, another year would bring on the
district a condition that would be
embarrassing. They would be con-
fronted with the situation of hay
ing many more scholars than could
be Accommodated in the present build
ings. 1t may be that the new build
ing will not be built in time for the
coming school year. but the crowded
condition will not continue long.
The amount of the bonds voted is
sufficient to erect substantial eight
room building of brick or stone, and
equip it in a manner that will not
only be comfort to the children of
school age, but will be a matter of

and were to do it in a systematic
manner, that enough could be collect
ed to build ball park and start the
team out latter which the team would
be self-supporting. Accordingly a
committee was appointed who should
have full power to select the grounds,
and canvas the town. Messrs Level
lin, Kirby and Curtis were so appoint
ed. Mr. Anderson suggested that a
list OF the names of all the business
men and others be prepared, and
that each be assessed in proper
tion TO his ability to pay, that way nc
one would be bearing too much bur-
den. The committee have acted on
this suggestion and are meeting with
great success.
Mr. Mort Lewellin, who appeared
to be the unanimous choice for mana
ger, was selected to manage the team.
The duties OF manager are various
and burdensolle, but Mort has the
goods, and will give the best of satis-
faction. He knows the other mana
gers in this vicinity, and is willing to
give the managership proper atten-
ton.
The site for the park has not been
definitely selected by the committee.
There are two places in view. one
just below the hill on the railroad
flats little east of the road to the de-
pot, and the other west of town on
the fiat beyond the old store house.
The committee will make the selec-
tion today
