htw POST 0tf|(t
Petition Being Circulated for. Es-
tablishment of New Post Office
in Flatwillow Country.

George w. Rice, one of the new
settlers in the Flatwillow country,
was in Roundup Wednesday for a
load of supplies, and while here had
a petition prepared asking for the
establishment of a new postofiice in
his section Of the country. With a
large number Of settlers already
located there and new ones continu-
ally coming in, the establishment
of an office there has become a ne
cessity and convenience greatly
to be desired. Most of these people
now get their mail at Roundup
while some go to Flatwillow, and
as the distance is so great many
go for weeks without any mail.
The new office would supply a large
territory which is rapidly becoming
thickly populated. and the depart
ment will no doubt order it's cstab-
lishment.
The residents of that section have
decided on "Riceton" as the name
OF the new postoflice in honor Of
Mr.. Rice. It is to be located on
Ray Enright's homestead, south
west quarter of section 16-12-2o,
and the petition recommends Mr..
Enright as the first postmaster.
a general store is also to be
loceted at the new place, the pro
moters Of this enterprise being
Messrs. Rice and Enright.

House Committee on Appropria-
ton Holds Sum to the
Minimum.

Because Of the desire to econo-
mize in expenditures this year the
house committee on appropriations
appropriated in the sundry civil bill
but 100000 for surveys in Mon
tana next year. More would have
been appropriated but the field
force could not handle it. The de-
partment has estimated that it will
take 81 ,00O,OO0 to survey all the re-
naming unsurveyed land in the
state, which amounts to Al, ,5o3, ,23S
acres. 1t will take $406, 900 more
to complete the surveys in Valley,
Dawson, Custer and Fergus counties
in addition to the 100000 appro-
priated in the present bill.
The committee on appropriations
endeavored to find from the land
office officials when they were be-
fore it whether there was any truth
in the reports that homeseekers had
turned to Canada when they could
not find surveyed land in Montana.
The officials said they had no Of
fetal reports on the subject. It
was stated that all the land in three
counties were available for entry
after surveyed. It was also stated
that progress was being made in the
survey of the Northern Pacific land

TIM tXTthD[D
Official Enumerator Given Until Nav
9th to Complete Census Of
Roundup.

Having found it impossible to
properly enumerate all the people
of Roundup and this district before
the expiration Of the time limit,
May 10Th, Leon Shaw, supervisor of
census second district of Montana,
has, at the instance of Mayor Lob
man. extended the time until Nav
9th and it is expected that Census
Enumeration jarrett will be able to
thoroughly cover his territory by that
time. The following is letter re-
ceived by Mayor Lohman from
Supervisor Shaw in regard to the
the matter:

}. G. Lohman, Mayor,
Roundup, Montana,
Dear Sir
The purpose of the census is to
enumerate the people, and it will
not be closed until this has been
done. ] think, however, that an
explanation will appease your mind
in degree at least. That section
opposite you in Yellowstone county
is being covered by resident of
Broadview, who got a late start
from the fact that the first enumer-
ator became afflicted with scarlet
fever and is now in quarantine in
Billings. 1t took several days to
get second man-Mr. Rommell.
who resided off the railroad. Even
tually he will get into your section
and cover his part Of Yellowstone
county. Mr.. Jarrett is the enumer-
ator for Roundup and that section
OF Fergus county. | appreciate
that he has large population and
have informed him that extra time
would be allowed for the compile
ton of his work. | would also
make a suggestion concerning
plan which has been followed out
with great success in Great Falls,
Billings, Helena and elsewhere, and
which is the only logical method
under the law, which dose not per-
init OF anyone accompanying an
enumeratOr nor does it allow cities
or bodies to hire an assistant for
him. Therefore, in Roundup, your
commercial organization might adj
vcrtisc in the papers and make in
quiries as to who has not been en-
umeratcd, or it might hire a couple
OF men to make house to house
canvass and upon ascertaining the
names OF those who for one reason
or another have been overlooked,
and then give the list to the Com
mercial club, which in turn could
give it to the enumerator, thus Civ
ing him something scmi-oflicial at
least upon which to act. The
government vii! not permit these
men to use official blanks, but they
can secure the information and give
Mr.. Garrett, who can verify for him.
self and then enter upon his official
rolls. | thank you for the informa-
ton contained in your letter, for I
am anxious as yourself for just
and proper enumeration not only of
Roundup, but all Of Fergus county
and in fact every county in my dis
trict. Shall be pleased to hear from
you at any time.

MAY ExTRADITE MoHR
Man Wanted Cor Conspiracy Failed to
Appear in the Municipal Court

District Attorney R. Y. Baker may
take immediate steps to extradite
Christian H. Mohr, who is now at
Wheaton, ILL.,, and who is under bonds
to appear in the municipal court here
and answer to a charge of conspiracy.
Mohr should have appeared at the open
ing of the April term of the municipal
court, but his bond of $500 has not
as yet been declared forfeit. Mohr
was arrested in connection with the
charges brought against John J. But
ties, the Chicago real estate man who
was charged with securing possession
OF farm in the town of Bristol by
fraud. 1t is alleged that Mohr decid-
ed to turn states evidence and that for
this reason the case against him has
not been pushed In the Buttles case
the attorneys for the defendant took
change of venue to the circdit court
and the case is set for trial on next
Monday morning. 1t is thought that
Mohr will be extradited if this course
is found necessary in time to have him
appear as a witness against Buttles
at that time The Buttles trial
promises to be one of the most bitter
ly contested cases ever heard in this
county.

WERE ON THE IOWA
Mrs. Rorer's Famous Cooking Kit
Were OH Beached Steamer

Ladies, did you know that the cook
ing utensils of the most famous cook
in the world were on the steamer Iowa,
which stranded on the beach at Berry
vile Saturday morning early and
which was not released until Tuesday
afternoon?
If you are not interested, there are
thousands of women who are, for al,
most every woman in the city of Mil
waukee has been awaiting the arrival
of the Iowa there so that Mrs. Sarah
Tyson Rorer could get busy with her
exhibit of fine cooking at the Cream
City's pure food show which opened
Monday night.
Mrs. Rorer's historic trunk, contain
ing the cooking F'toois" was slowed
away in the hold of the stranded YES
sci, and when the crew started to I'M
load the freight onto scow to bring
it to the shore the trunk was not among
the collection for only the perishabIe
goods were taken Off However, now
that the vessel is once more afoat Mrs.
Rorer can make the Milwaukee women
happy.
When the show opened Monday even
ing and all day the next day, the fam
Gus tinker" of eatables beat eggs
with a knife and did it wen at that
according to the scribe on the Milwau-
kee newspaper. Despite the fact that
she was forced to use such utensils
as she could rake together in a hurry,
Mrs. Rorer held her audience spell
bound, for she is more than cook
she is a physician, an ethical teach
er, political economist, a hygienist
and a near-Socialist.
The trunk ON board the Iowa has
been Mrs. Rorer's since the Centennial
exposition in 1876 and besides the
utensils, it contained lectures and notes
for which she would not take their
weight in gold.

OFFERS DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Attorneys Claim THAT it is New
Wrinkle in Personal Damage Cases
and it is Certain to be Taken to the
Supreme Court.

Enoeh Kline stabbed on an electric
car near Berryville last August will
receive damages for his injuries to the
amount of $1,000 if the verdict Of a
jury in the municipal court is upheld
by the supreme court of the state.
The jury reached verdict in the suit
brought by Kline against the Milwau
kee Electric Railway and Light Com
pany just before nine 'clock Wednes
day evening and the amount of the
verdict was surprise to many people
who had followed the trial Of the case
in the court. The case is an unusual
one and it is claimed by the attorneys
that this is the first time that just
such a case has been tried in the
courts Of Wisconsin. There have
been many cases in which damages for
personal injuries were demanded from
railway companies, but in this case
Kline was the victim of an assault
Charles Rose, who assaulted him is
now in the state prison at Waupun
serving a two years term. Kline had
asked for $4,000 and the attorneys for
the railway company had refused to
make any sort of a settlement. The
defense at the trial was that the con-
ductor in charge of the car had no
facts to warrant him to believe that
Kline was in danger Of being injured
The defendant company sought to have
the case dismissed on the grounds that
the complaint did not warrant a cause
of action and later asked that the
court direct verdict for the defen-
dant company. Both motions were
denied and Judge Randall submitted
the case to the jury for a special YER
dict. The jury was out for more than
four hours and all questions in the
special verdict were answered in favor
Of the plaintiff. The. attorneys for
the company were not in the court
room when the verdict was rendered,
but it is understood that they will APP
pear and ask that the verdict be set
aside as excessive and that the court
grant a new trial in the case. 1t is
pretty certain that the case will go to
the Supreme court of the state and
the result Of the argument and deci-
sion in that court will be watched with
interest on account of the peculiar
claim made by Kline. It is claimed
that Kline was so seriously injured in
the assault that he will never regain
his health and strength. At the time
of the stabbiug it was thought that
Kline was fatally injured, but he re-
covered after being in hospital for
little over a month.

LIKE WAGNER'S PLAN
Many Automobile Owners
Agree to Go Into Proposed
Road Repairing Assn.
TO keep ROADS IN CONDITION

John Wagner of Racine, promoter of
the Good Roads Association to be sup
ported by the automobile owners in
Racine, Kenosha and Milwaukee, was
in Kenosha on Wednesday afternoon
seeking members for the association
and he met with great deal of en-
couragement Before he left the city
late Wednesday evening more than
fifty of the owners Of cars in Kenosha
had signed the agreement to go into
the association and pay ten dollars
annually for the repair of the roads
between the three cities. Already
nearly a hundred people in Racine
have agreed to go into the association
and the matter has not as yet been
taken up with the Milwaukee automo-
bile experts The agreement provides
that the association shall not be or
ganized unless at least three hundred
members are secured and the men sign
ing the agreement will make no pay
ments of their annual dues until this
number has been secured Mr.. Wag-
ner was enthusiastic over the outlook
and declared that he thought that the
number of members secured would be
in excess Of the number asked for. He
declared that he thought that the total
number would be nearer 400 than 800
and that after the first year the asso-
citation would number among it's mem
bers nearly every owner of an auto
mobile in the three cities. The asso
citation if 800 members are secured will
have a fund of $4,000 and all Of this
will be expended on roads between Ke-
nosha and Milwaukee.
In speaking of the plans Mr.. Wag-
ner said: sit is the plan of the organi-
cation to have a man and a team for
work on roads in every town in the
counties between Kenosha and Milwau-
kee We figure that with $4,000 it viii
be possible for US to employ fore
man and at least six men and teams
and they will be kept at work on
the roads all the time during the auto
mobile season. After every rain they
will go over the roads, oil them down
and drag them into condition. With
this amount of work being done we
believe that it will be possible to keep
the roads between Milwaukee in first
class condition during the entire sea
son. y
Kenosha automobile owners are en-
thusiastic over the plan and they be-
lieve that Kenosha will do its full
share to make possible the success of
the organization.
