 gage, and that of his wife was at tached. He claims the attachment was secured by Bert Wertheim a hire
 ling, to whom the claim was assign ed for $300 Humiliation caused by the arrest and the loss of his cloth- ing, prompts the count to sue for the $25OO0 A similar suit was field by Countess Irma .Leonore Tracy Kilgal- lon von Mourik etc. who asks $25,- 900 of Samuel C. Watt, Enoch Hughes, Charles Walker, Samuel Wagner, J. w. Haley, the constable of Hot Springs and George Housely and Lem O'Reill, his bondsmen.

have been building to this city from
Herrin for the past several months
reached the corporate limits here at
10 O'Clock this morning and at the
close of the days work at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon the track had been
finished
There has been some trouble occa-
stoned by the small number of la
borers. The road was forced to build
within the last four miles to this city
with less than half the amount of
men required.
With the entering of the road came
the blowing of whistles and a general
commotion was noticeable from one
end of the city to the other especial
ly among the men who had fought
for the roads entrance to Metropolis.
There are at present about 200 la
borers, seventy-tive of which are ne
groes, fifty Italians and the rest of
sundry nationalities
The proposed location of the side
tracks has been graded and 1t is
thought that the laborers will reach
this part of the work by the last of
the week.
There is much ballasting TO be Zone
vet and it will probably be two or
perhaps three weeks before trains
will enter here over the Burlington
track. The work viii be rushed with
all possible haste and it is very prob
able that additional workmen will be
aided here the first OF next week.

sided since leaving Ordway some two
years ago, Mrs. Mcintosh cncloses
money order to cover another years
subscription to the New Era and says:
II am very 10th to give IL up as yet. -"
Her letter describes the country they
now call home and will be interesting
especially to their many friends here:
Salcsyillc, Montana, Is located on
the West Gallatin River and Is about
fifteen miles from Bozcman. with
which it Is connected by an electric
car line. Three cars are run each
day the year round aud specials every
day during the summer.
Salcsville Is at the mouth OF West
Galatin canon, one OF the must beau
tiful in the West. The water Of West
Gallatin river Is clear and very cold,
which makes trout fishing special
Cy. The drinking water comes from
springs and is very soft.
There are several summer resorts up
West Gallatin canon. The camping
companies meet each car and take
the guests up in private cOnveyances.
Salesville is rs yet quite small, but
is building up rapidly, now, due to the
new car line and the great farming
interests which are springing up
around it. Gallatin Valley is called
the Nile Valley OF America.

To Tho Farmers:

There seems to have been a feeling
among the farmers that the Hood
water from Sunday nights storm was
Improperly distributed by this com
pany. a little calm consideration uf
the matter will make IL clear that
the flood run could not have lasted u
exceed four or live hours. The rain
came after all preparations had been
made to take care Of II run 0f Lake
Meredith water and IT. would have
been impossible for Il ditch rider to
get to all OF the hcadgatcs in time u
make any equitable distribution OF the
water and certainly the farmers
themselves would not have been ready
to take care Of IL and 10 would not
have been possible to notify them
during the storm. Isy the time our
ditch riders got out in the morning
and got over the territory the Hood
water was gone.
There have been several instances,
during run OF TwinLakcs water " hen
River water became suddenly availa.
BILE through storms and In such cases
the people who had no Twin Lakes
water or Lake Meredith water profit
ed by such combination. IL Is com.
mon knowledge that many farmers
who have no Lake Meredith water are
in the habit OF filling their cistcrns
and reservoirs and watering their
gardens during II run OF Meredith
water and when both sides OF the
question are considered we think IL
will be found that no farmer can
claim 10 be Il loser. by reason of the
action OF this Company in regard to a
short. sudden flood like that OF Sun
day night.
Our farmer friends must surely un-
derstnnd that We are not looking for
trouble and are making every effort
possible To keep things smooth and
everybody satisfied, as We are in Il po.
sitinn to suffer more than any number
OF individuals in the community.
