man Phil Caselberg and Ole .Veseth. |

an excellent pride for his porkers and
only regrets that he has not more of
them, as there is a big demand for
pigs constantly in this vicinity. The !
profit made from pigs is far greater
than can be derived from most pro-
ducts of the farm.
On the Goth Of this month the in
terstate railway commission will hold
meeting and the express companies
and railways are ordered to appear
and show cause why Montana towns
are charged exhorbitant rates. The
list of questions have been sent the
different companies and they may
ponder over them until that date.
One of the questions is "Wh reason
exist for higher rates in Montana
than in Washington" The answer
to this question would make interest
ing reading to the business men in
Malta.
A judge in Kansas City who SEN
fenced two negro brutes to be hanged
stated that owing to the enormity of
the crime for which they were con-
vcted, he would not sentece them to
be hanged on the legal execution day,
but on the day following. Almost
all murders who have been executed
there have without doubt almost
placed themselves beyond the reach
of pity, but perhaps some of them
still had faint spark of real man.
