2e, $50 people who have come into

''Ihese figures, of course, have no.
thing to do with the thousands of
land lockers and investment seekers
who have come into the state on our
passenger trains," said Mr.. Scanlan.
''The figures / give you relate only to
the actual bona fide settlers who have
shipped their household goods and in
many instances farming utensils into
the state, and taken up land, whether
by homestead or by purchase.
Mr.. Scanlan also tells of solid

MAKE BIG HIT
Many People Attend Literary En-
tertainment Given By Harlowton
Talent at TW0dot.

The concert that was given by
Miss Dehlia Mcmahon, dramatic read
er, and Mrs. e j. North, pianist and
vocalist, assisted by A. j. Dreyer,
cornetist, at Twodot last Friday night
turned out to be one Of the most sue
cessful social events in the history Of
that once famous cow town. The
people from many miles around were
in attendance, while nearly forty of
the Harlowton folks drove up in autos.
The dramatic reader, Miss Mcmahon
read several dramatic and humorous
selections, which were well taken by
the audience. She is reader who
can make the body the servant of the
mind, the outward expression the
manifestation of the mind. All her
selections were rendered in simple
and direct manner rejecting the
thought of the printed page.
Mrs. e. j. North rendered some
very beautiful sele :tions on the piano,
and her vocal solos won the admir-
alton of all. She is too well known in
this section of Montana to need any
further introduction.
A. j. Dreyer assisted the young
ladies in giving their concert by play
ing several selections OH the cornet,
and surprised those present by the
rare ability he displayed. M. Dreyer
ranks as one of the foremost band in
structors in the State, and the time
is not far hence when he will have
gained a statewide reputation as a
musician. After the concert few
pleasant hours were whiled away
dancing.

LAVINA HAS
$4,000 FIRE
SlaYtOn Mercantile Co.'S. Store Burnt
Down Last Thursday Morning
$4,000 Loss.

The stock and store building of the
destroyed by fire early last Thursday
morning, the loss being estimated at
$50 600, one-third of which is covered
by insurance.
The fire was discovered about three
O'Clock at which time the rear of the
building was already enveloped in a
sea of flames. In an incredible short
time the entire building was ablaZe
and in less than two hours was reduc-
ed to ashes. AS Lavina has no fire
protection and as there was a high
wind blowing at the time, efforts to
fight the fire were useless.
Attempts to save some of the stock
were made, but the progress of the
flames was so rapid that only a few
suits Of clothes could be removed from
the burning building. There We're
three clerks sleeping on the second
floor that were compelled to jump
from window to save their lives.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The store was lighted by a gasoline
lighting system but it is said that
this was not the cause Of the fire. 1t
started somewhere in the rear Of the
building.
Dan W Slayton owned the building
and was also the principal stakeholder
in the SIayton Mercantile Co. Belcher
Brothers it is understood were also
interested in the company. This was
the only store in Lavina, and carried
heavy stock. 1t is not known at this
time whether the store will be rebuilt.
Nothing will be done until a settle
ment is male with the insurance
companies.
This is the second fire Lavina has
had the past two months. Tie Adams
Hotel at that place was threatened
by fire about two months ago but
was saved in the nick of ftime.-Round-
up Record.

Local Baseball Team Slip 1t Over
On Them With Ease In
Sundays Game.

The Harlowton heavy stickers de-
feated HedgesvilIe on their grounds
in the baseball game Sunday by the
score Of l5 to l3. The Hedges boys
were on the alert and took advant aye
of the opportunity the locals gave
them by falling to sleep in the ninth.
The result was that Hedges ran in
five scores in this inning.
The game was an interesting one,
both teams being exceptionally good
with the stick. The Harlowton team
had no difficulty in finding the two
pitchers that Hedges put in the box
and each man came home with at
least one hit to his credit. Hedges
was bubbling over with confidence
before the game and even had some
money with which TO punctuate their
statements.
