the Dutch settlers at the south end of the
island, and establishing the fact that the de-
fence, or brush wood, was simply a cattle

that IN 1929 commerce invaded Wall Street
IN the shape Of a building erected by the
Bayards for what they termed the "mystery
OF sugar refining" Within the last fifty
years sugar have been refined within u very
few blocks Of Wall Street, but this is our
first information Us to the fact that sugar
refining was ac.ually begun on Wall Street
itself as early us 1929.
Some rather amusing stories have been
told concerning the mystery Of sugar REIN
ing in it's early days in New York. Before
the civil wal the Moller family was % very
conspicuous feature in the industry. The
family vas made up of q number Of brothers,
and The oldest, Peter Moller, was a very pro.
minent factor in the sugar refining industry.
George Moiler and William Moller we're 9TH
er sugar r~einer5 und still another MoIler was
OF the firm Of Moller, Siarck a. Go. 1t was
an old Wall Street story years ago that when
those Moilels were first brought into New
York BY AspjnwalI 4 W0lsey about 1850. or
Garner, tE0N were housed away up South
street near Coriear's Hook ct the sugar re.
fuerY and not allowed 10 90 out at all, This
locking up of the workmou was done by the
sugar reinors Of 1880 to 1850, to prevent
competing |reiner5 from carrying their work
men away, much as was lone during the
Homestead riots near Pittsburg in the Car
negia strike in recent years.
The mystery OF sugar refining in New
York, we think, vas ftat solved practically
by that famous candy maker, Mrs Stuart,
the mother Of the two boys, II. L. Stuart
AL A. Stu1rt, who until some time after the
civil wIr carried on their great refinery
uader the firm namo Of II. L.. & A. Stuart
on what was SAID to nave been the location
of their mothers original candy shop. The
Stuarts retired from business forty years
ago, whom the margins Of profit to the sugar
~rehnors began to narrow, md when the my8-
terioS OF sug Il refining began to disappear.
Mr.. Hill does not tell Us VINO it was that
vas engaged ia the sugar refining business in
Wall Street in the building erected by the
Blyards in 1929 and within the shade Of
Trinity church, which then stood ut the
head Of the Street as now, but he does shy

Kidd, owned the first house on the north

Wholesale and Retail Grocer.
A very important business deal was
consummated yesterday when the
we'll known grocery firm of Forstad &
Johnson went out of existence, James
Forstad buying the interest of Syl-
veSter P. Johnson in stock of goods
and the accounts of the firm. The
stock inventoried over 1920 and the
sale approximately was about a $20,-
600 one. Mr.. Johnson still owns the
SAMSON Block, in which the store is
located at the Corner of Main and 4th

from him, and it will be one of the
most modern stores in the city. The

ness. A bonus of $3.50 was put up by
young man in buying the yards from
the present proprietor C. E. Thomas
and he presumably was buying the
yards for himself. 1t is alleged that
the deal was being engineered for one
of the largest lumber com panies here
and it failed to matrialize and Mr..
Thomas is $3.50 ahead on the collec-
ton of the bonus. He will continue
his lumber business at the same stand
and will greatly increase it and will
as before sell all classes of lumber at
the lowest possible figures for cash.
Mr.. Thomas opened up the Indepen-
dent Lumber Company here six
months ago.

KILLED BY TRAIN
Child of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Be-!

Lavina.

Lavina and its entire community is
cast into gloom by the sad death of
little FLOYD Belcber, the three year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Belcher at that place. She was killed
by the east bound passenger train
last week Thursday. The child was
playing alone under a trestle near
Old Lavina, when she heard the
train approaching. Getting out from
i'm under the treStle on the side op-
pOsite from the town. she tried to
cross the track ahead of the train,
evidently not realizing that she was
in any danger. The engineer saw the
girl and applied the air brakes, but
was too late. half the train passed over
her before it could be stopped. The
little girl was still breathing when
she was picked up but died shortly
afterwards. She was badly mangled
and could hardly be recognized. Mrs.
Belcher was nearly crazed with grief
when informed of the sad fate which
befell her daughter. The funeral was
held Saturday. The services being

TOHAVE MORE POWER
Harlowton Light & Water Company
to Get Enough Power to Run
The New Mill.

1t has been stated in several news
papers that the mill at this place has
just completed contracts with the
Harlowton Light and Water Company,
who are to supply the new mill with
all the power. This however is not
true, as the power company is not yet
sure as to whether they can secure
enough power for this, in case they
should be able to get enough power
they will undoubtedly supply the mill.
Mr.. Goss, the manager Of the Har-
lowton Light & Water Company, tells
the News man that securing power
by means of a large reservoir on what
is known as the Checkerboard near
Martinsdale, is very doutful. The
power for the mills in that case would
be brought down to Harlowton from
Martinsdale. Mr.. Goss is at present
making other investigations, which
will perhaps result in getting rower by
some other means, but at present
these Investigations are withheld
from publication.
