HAIL STORM in
JUDITH BASIN
Not as Much Damage as First Re-
ported Many Windows Broken
in Moore and LeWiStoWn.

Moore was the center of a hail storm
Wednesday afternoon, which covered
about three miles by one and one-half
miles wide. Some of the haistones
were as large as good sized eggs and
covered the ground at some places to
the depth of about three inches. 1t
was at first reported that the entire
crops around Moore had been COM
pletely destroyed, but further inves-
LEGATIONS show that only the crops on
a few farms have been destroyed.
1t seems that the hail started four
miles from Philbrook toward Moore,
for no hail fell at Philbrook. Their
was no hail, but a heavy rainfall at
Stanford; Straw, no hail; Natal, no
hail; Hedges, no hail; Benchland, no
hail. A large number of windows
were broken in both Lewistown and
Moore. The afternoon passenger
from Lewistown passed through the
storm, and 19 broken window lights
were the result.

Harry b. Mitchell and son, Fergus,
and G. E, Vidal and son, Forest, all
of Great Falls, Montana passed thru
here in an auto on their way to the
Boulder River, where they will spend
a short vacation fishing. Mr.. Fl. B..
Mitchell, who is the editor of the
Great Falls Tribune, was greatly su r
prised at the growth Of Harlowton.
He had been here about three years
ago, and the change was so great that
he could hardly believe it to be the
same ,itV

A GOOD TIME
The Box Social and Band Conert Given
by the N. E. Ladies' Aid Proves
Big Success.

Notwithstanding the bad weather
the box social and band concert
given in the NJ f. Church last night
by the Ladies Aid was well attended.
The band concert was of such nature
that every citizen of this city, that
was present, felt proud of that organ
ization. Attorney w. C. Husband gave
"SpartacuS to the Gladiators;' and
all said it was good. The boxes all
sold for fair price, and the entire
proceeds were S2S.25. This money will
be turned over to the M. E. Church.
After the social and the concert,
the band boys were given a luncheon
of ice cream and cake. Taxing it
altogether, the whole affair was big
success.

GOOD BYE OLD MERINO
Only Two Buildings Left to Mark That
Old Historic Town.

Quaint Old Merino will soon be no
more. This week two buildings were
moved out to the l.. ID. Glenn home
stead south of town, and there now
but remains two log structures to
remind the old timer Of the great
roundups that once made the town
its headquarters. The two log cabins
that were moved this week, were at
one time the postoffice and a res
taurant, and are over thirty years old.
Mr.. Glenn thinks that these buildings
are worthy Of preservation and there
fore moved them onto his claim.

TO COL0NlZE LAND
Near Harlowton in Meagher County,
Colony of Hollanders to Take
up Land.
up Land.

The GiltianPenwell Ranch Com
pany have just completed arrangements
whereby $4,000 acres of exceptionally
fertile land situated about 20 miles
from this city and 7 miles from the
new town of Hedges on the B. & N.
will be colonized by well-to-do farm
ers from Holland. Part of the tract
lies in Fergus County and part in
Meagher.
1t is the opinion of the stockholders
of the firm that the work of coonizing
will 60 forward with great rush, as
the Holanders are deeply interested
in the proposition. The Dutch are
excellent f~rmers and the addition of
the colony to this part of the coun-
try is fortunate occurrence.
FIR. Heuvel, Catholic priest, who
is interested, has accomplished a
great deal in the work of inducing
ohe Hollanders to come to Montana.
He, however, has established several
very successful colonies in the western
states and the Hol!anders place a
great deal of confidence in him.
In addition to the settlement of
the land arrangements are now under
way for the irrigation of a great por-
tion of the tract to be coIonized. Sur
veyors are now at work on the irriga-
tion projects and engineers are busily
engaged in preparing plans and
estimates for the construction of
numerous reservoirs and dams in that
section.

The Place For Him.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. G. Borchardt, who
came here with that party from A ber-
deem land buyers last week, decided
that the Pride of the Musselshell is
the place for them. They have taken
up a homestead six miles northeast of
here and bought another quarter
adjoining it. Mr.. Brochardt will estab-
lish his residence on his homestead at
once, and informs the News man that
he will perhaps launch into some bus
mess in our city little later on.

A NEW ROAD
County Surveyor E. J. Spach Laying
Out New Roads From Harlowton
To Judith Gap.

E. j. Spach, the county surveyor,
is at present surveying new road
from this city to Judith Gap and
then on to Living Springs. Mr..
Spach is at present at Judith Gap,
where he is making his headquarters
while doing this surveying. This
new road is badly needed and when
finished will mean a great deal to
both Judith Gap and HarIowton.
The homesteaders near the Gap are
also going after the commissioners
for some other new roads. Now this
would be a good plan for our city to
adopt as it is badly in need of good
roads. The roads leading to the
Sweet Grass Country and to Bercail
are such that it is nearly impossible
for one to drive on them, with even
a small load. This is question of
vital Importance and should be taken
up at once.

HARL0WTON SORE
Twodot and The Locals Play Ball
Umpire's Decisions too Coarse
For Harlow Fans.

On Sunday afternoon we again found
the local team and the Twodot ball
nine pitted against each other on lie
Twodot diamond. This time the
game was not stopped on account of
SO many players being disabled, as in
the game four weeks ago, but from
the unfairness that was shown on the
part of the umpire. Up to the sixth
inning the game was to 3 in favor
of the locals. Seeing that Harlowton
was getting the best of the deal the
umpire became so "rotten" in his
decisions that the boys become dis
heartened and quit.
