Judge Cheadle was called upon by
Chairman Hilger to extend, on be-
half OF the local commercial club,
welcome to the visitors and to gen
orally outline the line of discussion.
This Judge Cheadle did in his usual
thorough and happy manner
He stated that the Inconvenience to
which the people south of the Snowies
and especially of city the size OF
Roundup are put because of their re
moteness from the seat OF govern
ment in this county is an admitted
fact. That they have within the
boundaries OF the proposed county
sufficient assessible wealth TO justify
them in their contention for segrega-
ton is another matter Of which there
can be but little discussion. The only
matter therefore, continued the judge,
is to decide, if possible, upon
boundary line which shall be just both
to Fergus county and to the people
residing in the new county OF Mus
selshell He suggested that point
drawn due eastward from the crest Of
the Snowy mountains would appear
to be the logical dividing line. This
line would run about six miles south
Of the third standard parallel.
Address by Dan Slayton.
Dan Slayton, who is chairman OF
the county division club OF Roundup,
was the next speaker. He cited the
many inconveniences to the people re-
siding south of the Snowy mountains,
who have to travel 270 miles by rail

O. w. Belden was called upon to
present Lewistown side Of the con-
troversy He stated that since the
county division agitation was begun
two years ago, new conditions have
arisen which places a somewhat dif-
ferent face on the subject. There is
now being constructed from Melstone,
on the Musselshell river, new line

that the Great Northern will also

truth of those lines OF Longfellow,
why have | been born with these

they lead only to sorrow and disap-
pointment? How empty, how desolate

This is an unusually superior pro

Joint Meeting of Business Men of
Two Cities Held Last Night at
Judith Club Rooms.
COUNTY DIVISION talk
Extended Discussion of the Subject
by Both Sides Results in Much
Better Understanding.

About fifty representative business
men of the city OF Roundup and
vicinity met one hundred or more
members OF the Lewistown CONNER
cial Club at the rooms of the Judith
Club last night, at which time the
subject Of county division, for the
purpose OF creating Musselshell
county, was thoroughly discussed
from the viewpoints both OF Lewis
town and Roundup. The discussion
revealed that about the only point at
issue between the two commercial
bodies is that relating to the boundary
between Fergus county on the south
and the proposed county of Mussel-
shell on the north.
Third Standard Meridian.
The Roundup contingent want the
line established on the third standard
meridian from the Musselshell river
westward through the Snowy noun
tains. The Lewistown people con-
tended that the natural boundary
would run six miles south Of that
meridian, which is a natural water
Shed 1t is believed that this matter
Of boundary will be amicably adjust
ed, in which event the Lewistown
Commercial Club as body will likely
interpose no opposition to the wishes
Of the Musselshell boosters at the
forthcoming session of the state leg
islature.
Eloquent Addresses Made.
David Hilger, president of the Lew
istown Commercial Club was select
ed to preside over the meeting and
he gave both sides an opportunity to
discuss the matter in the fullest and
freest possible manner. The boys
from the south had number of good
speakers in their bunch and put for

parties on Tuesday night and is shat
tered SO that a new rock must be
procured. The act was malicious
one and the fact that the parties who
did it are unknown shows that those
persons will be wise enough to keep
1t to themselves. The Miners Union
had planned to move this large slab
of granite from the old Bullard place,
where the last celebration took place,
to the baseball grounds near the
school house. 1t will now be neces-
sary to procure a new rock from
Maiden, and this necessarily means
some additional trouble and expense
1t is suggested by some people that a
night guard be kept when the new
rock is placed, 50 that there will be
no repetition Of the contemplate,
sneaking trick
The staff OF teachers for the COM
ing year was chosen at meeting OF
the school board on Tuesday evening.
Professor A. r. Thompson was re-
elected to act as principal, and will
again have the seventh and eighth
grades; Miss Lydia Vallentyne will
teach the fifth and sixth grades; Miss
Maud Morton the third and fourth,
and Miss Elizabeth Hogeland the
primary department. Miss Vallentyne
IS a graduate OF the University of
Minnesota and has taught for two
years past III the Red Lodge high
school, although her home is near
Kendall, where she has a homestead.
Miss Morton comes with good recon-
mendatons, while Prof. Thompson
and Miss Hogeland need no intro
ducton to Kendallites. Professor
Thompson, who has taken charge of
the Kendall Miner, will spend his
vacation in Kendall. Miss Stella
Rees will visit her parents at Dorsey
Miss Hogeland will spend the sum,
mer months with relatives in this
county and will visit Kendall oc-
casionally. Miss Cora Brown, who is
one OF the ablest teachers that the
Kendall schools have had the good
fortune to have, has given up teach
ing for year Or so, on account OF
i'll health, and after short visit with
her parents at Fond du Lac, Wis
has gone to the Bernard McFadden
Institute in Chicago, for treatment
and her numerous friends in Kendall
hope to hear of her rapid recovery of
health.
Miss Anna McRoberts spent Sun
day at her ranch near the Fergus
place. Miss McRoberts and Miss
Mayme Cook, OF Lewistown, visited
their homesteads at the same time,
and relieved the monotonv of holding
down their claims by killing rattle
snakes.
f. B. Coolidge. who has had charge
of the zinc department in the Kendall
MILL has resigned his position to take
charge of the Cumberland mill at
Maiden. Mr.. Coolidge is graduate
of the South Dakota School of Mines
and has specialized in the cyanide

LOSE ANOTHER GAME
TO JUDITH GAP team
BALL TOSSERS OF THE "Y'
TOWN TAKE THE THIRD
GAME.

The Lewistown base ball team
Journeyed down to Judith Gap last
Sunday and received drubbing from
the fast aggregation Of that place by
a score OF to 2. The victory gives
the team at the ~" two out OF three,
they having broken even i'll a double
header played in LeWistown last
week.
Game a Fast One.
The game was fast one, both
teams doing fine work The Gaplets
were just a bit more lucky in bunch
ing their hits than the Lewistown ag-
gregatlon. Two three-baggers with
men on bases in both instances did
the business. Lewistown batted hard
but without luck. McCabe, who
pitched for the Gap team, was steady
throughout and was given gilt edge
support. Smith pitched the first five
innings for Iewistown and was also
fairly effective but not III his best
form. Friedline, who twirled the last
four innings, was invincible, tanning
eight men and giving but two hits.
Philbrook Next Sunday.
The Hobson-P -Phlbrook team will
play Lewistown at Athletic Heights
next Sunday. They have one OF the
strongest teams in the county and
the contest will be one well worth
going far to see.
