MUST BE CAREFUL
Governor Offers Reward for Arrest
Of Those Who Locate a Man on
Wrong Land.

For the dual purpose of warning
prospective settlers that bunco men
are engaged in their operations, and
likewise to make an example of those
who may be caught in the act, Gov
ernor Norris has offered a reward of
$3.50 for the arrest and conviction of
persons engaged in the business of To-
eating those desiring to settle upon
government lands and who do not
hesitate to impart false information
concerning the situation.
Governor Norris and others, had a
conference on the subject at which it
developed that in several instances,
at least, these land locators had To-
Gated more than one person on the
same land, receiving a fee from each
In other instances they have located
settlers on lands, not knowing wheth
er it was occupied or not, with the re-
suit that settlers are beginning to file
protests concerning such treatment.
1t seems many OF tie offenders
formerly operated in a similar capa-
city in North Dakota and are now
boarding trains as they enter Mon
tana and, gaining the confidence OF
the settlers, induce them to part with
large sums for locating them, when
as a matter of fact, they know little,
If any, more about the situation than
the settlers themselves.

EARTHQUAKE FELT
Throughout the State. 1--WE Dis
tinct Seismic Shocks Occurred
Shortly After one Tuesday
Morning.

The most pronounced earthquake
shock felt in Montana for years oc-
Cured Monday morning at 1870. Sew
eral of the Harlowton people felt the
shock very plainly, although 1t was
not as heavy in this section as in the
western part of the state. In Butte
and Helena, chairs were hurled over,
crockery rolled from shelves. and
things were shaken up In general.
The residents in Butte and Helena
ana from some of the other larger
cities in the west, very badly fright
ened and some superstitiously incliu-
ed persons believed that dire pre-
dictions which sensationalists have
made concerning Halley's comet
Manv theories as to the cause Of
were about to come true.
the earthquake have already been
advanced by seismologists. The one
that seems to be the most reasonable
is the one advanced by Professor
Shaler. He holds that 1t was caused
0y the slipping Of one strata or seam
upon another, caused under pressure
of great weight.

BIG SESSION AT MILES CITY
Days Of the Ranges Passing Away
Will Have to do Business on Diff
ferent Scale in Future.

Miles City, April 1S.-At the an
nual meeting of the Eastern Montana
Woolgrowers' Association, which con-
vened in the opera house here this
morning, larger number of those in
terested in the business were present
than ever before. Speakers selected
from all over the country who are
familiar with topics in which the
Woolgrowers and cattle raisers of the
West are interested are present and
will be given places on the pro-
grammes Of the three days in which
the associations of the men in both
industries will meet. The woolmen
met today, the cattlemen will meet
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Buildings throughout the city have
been draped with flags and bunting to
an extent never observed before dur
ing the sessions of these bodies. The
opera house, in which the meetings
are held, Is one blazing mass of colors
from pit to ventilator, and plants and
flowers are heavily banked about the
stage. This unprecedented (for these
meetings) display is due to the fact
that the Montana Stockgrowers' asso-
citation has just rounded out it's first
quarter of a century of existence and
is celebrating it's silver anniversary.
The Woolgrowers Association is a
year it's junior.
At the convening of the woolgrow-
ers this morning, after the band had
stirred the enthusiasm with martial
airs, President O'Neill called the
meeting to order and, after roll call
and the reading of the minutes of last
year, Secretary II. b. Wiley read his
annual report.

CAUGHT In SWINDLE
Six MilWukee Railroad Arrested on
Charge Of Holding up
Immigrants.

Mobridge, N. d., April 16 Six en-
ployes of the Milwaukee road have
been arrested by the sheriff of NAL
worth county for collecting toll over
the Missouri river bridge from unsus-
pecting immigrants. Among the six
it is reported that one was a yard
master, another an operator and the
remainder switchmen and brakemen.
Their system was for one to enter
an immigrant Car otficiously and de-
mand the occupants contracts. Upon
examination it was found, Of course,
that the immigrant had not paid his
bridge toll, a>>toll that existed in the
swinblers' mind only.
The latter Immediately demanded
ESQ and II the immigrant paid they
gave him receipt from the pad, sign
ing the name of a yardmaster who
left the city some years ago, or the
name of a conductor on the Puget
Sound line. If the immigrant re-
belled they called the yardmaster,
who was in with the gang, and if the
people or the immigrants were uncon-
vinced, they took him to the oper.
ator, who, if necessary, gave a receipt
and took the money.
How long this graft has been going
on the Milwaukee Company has been
unable to learn, but inasmuch as
nearly 1000 ears of immigrants have
passed through this year, it is safe to
say a goodly share Of the occupants
were fleeced.

LAVINA HAS FIRE
Adams Hotel Saved from Destruc
ton by Passengers Of East
Bound Train.

Roundup Record: Just as the east
bound passenger train was pulling
into Lavina last Sunday afternoon
about five o'clock, smoke was seen is.
suing from the basement of the
Adams hotel at that place, having
caught fire few moments before.
Conductor Sam Berberidge, who was
in charge, held the train thirty min
utes to give the passengers an oppor-
tunity to assist in saving the building,
which they did in a heroic manner.
The male passengers almost to man
got out and worked hard, and by
using water from the locomotive ten
der succeeded in putting out the fire
in very short time, but not before
every piece of furniture and other
articles Of value except the kitchen
range and the bar had been removed.
Very little damage was done by the
fire.
The Adams is one of the largest and
best hotels along the new coast ex-
tension, and was named in honor of
j. q. Adams, formerly president OF
the Milwaukee Land Company. The
building, which is owned by L. G.
Lehfeldt, is valued at $4,000.
The citizens of Lavina surely have
reason to feel grateful to Conductor
Berberidge and the passengers who
helped in subduing the blaze, as with
out their assistance it is probable that
the little town would have suffered
disastrous confederation.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, O., June
27.-Usually, when cats and rats
are mentioned in the same sent
ence, it signifies a merry scramble

But not so with a cat owned by

stricken; that's how she came to
do 1t. Several weeks ago she got
hungry and, as most cats do,
prowled around until it found a
rat. My, but it made a good meal!
Next day she got hungry again
and started out in search of an
other dinner. Presently she came
upon a nestful of baby rats. They
were crying for their mother, as
the cat soon saw. Then it appears
to have come to her-she had eat

they would starve If aid wasn't
given them. So she adopted the
family, and now she's their STEP

bOCoCHuy VuHC <oy ISlOs
Now many ears shall be
Ready to bark to thee.
Mars and Jupiter are in reIa-
tive positions today that as
troIogy reads as extremely ia
vorabIe. There should be
bright vivid power in the at.
wosphere making for effective.
ness and directness. The in
fIuence is likely to be at it's
best for persons of strong,
commanding temperaments,
and for those workers who
have great love for their pur.
suits.
Professions that demand in
sight and clear reasoning pow
ers as we'll as resolution and
daring, are likely to benefit the
most.
The sign Is good for men
who deal with great engines,
apparatus that does heavy
work, complicated machinery,
delicate instruments, high tenn
peratures and subtle processes.
Employees who write, caIcu-
late or do ingenious and diff
cult work should feel unusual
keenness and intuition.
A fortunate omen is over the
work of physicians and sur
geons.
Very optimistic or impetuous
persons are likely, in such con-
fisurations as todays's, to be
intoxicated with the stirring
tendencies, and must exercise
wisdom and fore-thought, lest
they be carried away and hurry
into iII-considered actions, reck-
less undertakings or foolish in
vestments.
Speculation is almost always
evil in these signs, because
men are in constant danger Of
mistaking specious promises
for the truth.
The sign is excellent for pub
Iicity, for telling things to
many others, for introducing
new merchandise or methods
and for gaining the attention
Of new customers. SaIespeople
should utilize the time for try
ing again to succeed in fields
where hitherto they have been
able to make no impression.
Dislike Of Flooding labor and
a desire to gain results by bril-
liant strokes Of policy are often
the traits Of persons whose
birth-date this is. They will do
we'll during the tweIve-month
to supplement their natural in
teIIigence and shrewdness with
steady, indomitabIe purpose,
fighting any tendency to
change from one work to an
other merely for the sake Of
