Settlers have obtained water by
digging wells to a depth Of from
Is to 26 feet. Many springs are
noticeable in this valley and from
them excellent water can be
procured. Stock can get water
the year around from many side
creeks, water holes, etc. that are
there. Next comes Beaver near
the head of which the town of
Ekalaka is located. This is the
the finest stream of clear run
ming water in eastern Montana,
the water being soft and never
muddy like the most Of the
streams in the country and is
fed by many springs from the
hills. There are many thousands
of acres of unoccupied govern
ment land along this stream that
is open for settlement. The creek
is nearly SO miles IN length and
is considered running through
: one of the best farming localities
in Montana. Another stream
that runs in the vicinity of Eka-
laka is O'Fallon Creek. This
Creek also has numerous tribu-
taries that are fed by springs
and is ,1oted for the fine grass
that is raised on its borders.
The country is somewhat broken
and rough at the head of the
the creek where ash timber and
wild fruits grow in abundance.
This section Of the country is we'll
adapted for stock raising as
there is plenty of water,
shelter and grass in evidence.
Along the main valley Of the
creek may be found some of the
best agricultural land of Montana
and like Box Elder will be settled
up in a few years.
The lands in this section are
outside of the N. P. r. R. grant
and are all subject to homestead
entry. The 800 acre homestead
law applies to nearly all if it.,
only a strip along some Of the
principal streams being reserved
from that law. The cost of
fling upon a ;}2O acre homestead
is $22. Land Office fees and
$500 additional where fling is

IL. F. EMERSON ISDEAD
Well Known Custer County Man Passes Away
at His Home on Beaver Greek Wed
nesday Morning

The little town # Ekalaka and
surrounding country was cast
in sorrow Wednesday morning
by the death Of Mr.. E. F.
Emerson, one Of the most pop
ular and well known men of
Custer country. The announce
ment OF a death is always a
shock but no greater one was
ever experienced by the people
of this country than the news of
the death of Mr.. Emerson which
occurred from a stroke of apolexy
at 600 o'clock in the morn
ing. The end came without a
struggle and unexpectedly as he
had not been i'll and retired the
night before in apparently the
best of health.
E. F. Emerson was born in
Monroe, Wisconsin in October
1857. At an early age he moved
to Wyoming where he engaged
in the live stock business, and
in the fall of 1883 moved from
Cheyenne to Custer county
settling on the ranch where his
death occurred. During the sum-
mer of 'S6, in partnership with
his brother Chas. he was rang
ing a large herd Of cattle in this
country, and prosperity was
indeed smiling upon them. Then
came the hard winter, and like
many other stocl1men they lost
heavily and were forced again to
start anew. For the next few
years they encountered many
hardships and reverses, but from
persistent hard work they soon
began to recover their lost for
tune.
Mr.. Emerson leaves wife,
two sons, Herbert and Charles
and a sister in Monroe to mourn
his death and to these, the SYM
pathy of his large circle of
friends and aquaintances is ex-
tended. The body was prepared
for shipment to Monroe Wis.
Thursday by Undertaken Camb-
bell of Miles City ct which place
the remains will be laid to rest
in the family burying ground.
No services We're heldsin Ekalaka
or at the ranch on account Of the
necessity Of getting the body to
Baker before the high water
arrived.
The deceased was a member of
| the K. of P. lodge, a director Of
the Ekalaka Bank, the r. c.
Charters Co. and was also in
terested in many other Ekalaka
enterprises. His sudden and un-
expected demise from the COM
munity he loved will long be
remembered with regret and his
anaible charater will be sadly
missed.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Real hits were few and far between
yesterday. Each side garnered two.
Jimmy Callahan batted with per-
feet record as the result of two scratch
infield hits and one long three-sacker.
Fremer made a sensational catch of
Slark's short drive back of second base
and robbed Tom of hit This was in
the seventh.
Snyder and Davidson both made
nice plays in the eighth inning. Heinie
picked up roller that appeared tagged
for hit and got his man at first,
while Davy chased over into the
groove between left and center and
PULLED down Wilkes long fly.
Hendricks stopped two real hits
which the Islanders should have been
credited with, although he was unable
to keep one of them from being hit
on the scratch order. IN the fourth
S!attery shot a liner at him which he
managed to cuff down and throw to
first. In the seventh Snyder sent one
back to him, and again he stopped it,
but he could not recover it in time to
get Heinie.

Are in No Way Grateful for Being
Given Extra Proceeds from
Pennant Day.

Waterloo is certainly a grateful
bunch. After Rock Island had switch
ed the observance of pennant day so
that the Boosters might be the ones
to enjoy the extra profits which &C
crued therefrom, the team on it's next
appearance here goes to Davenport
hotel to put up. whereas Dubuque, the
old standby. who had more claim to
teing here on pennant day than did
the newcomers in the league, continues
to put up at Rock Island This is one
of the best paying ball towns in the
league, as every team which comes
here is ready to admit, and yet it is
the only one which is boycotted in
favor of rival town. The clubs which
come here receive more money than
practically in any other city in the
circuit, and yet they fail to spend any
of it in Rock Island

OOTBALL is BARRED OUT

The international Olympic commit
tee held its meeting at Luxembourg
where the program for the Swedish
Olympic games was discussed num-
Der of changes from the list of events
given at London were effected. Sew
eral competitions were dropped and
some new ones put on. Such sports as
on horseback. tennis. rackets and box
ing were dropped. The Rev. S. de
Courcy Laffan. the English delegate,
spoke in favor of including boxing. but
after an objection from Colonel Balch
of Sweden the manly art" was ia
booed. The standing high and broad
jumps have been relegated, as also the
400 meter hurdle race. The pentath-
lon, OF five event all around contest,
will be revived, but it will be different
from that at Athens in 1906, as there
will be a 1.500 meter run instead of
wrestling.
Then there Will be a decathlon. or
ten event all around. the list being
given below. The question of judging
the events was discussed at length. and
the Swedes will appoint foreigners. but
they must not exceed one-third of the
whole jury. Any country sending an
entry of FIVE events will be entitled to
have representative on the interna-
tiona! jury. No cable or telegraph en-
tries will be received by the Swedish
Olympic mana gement.
In the athletic program the following
events have been suggested: One hun

Zephyrs From the Diamond

INSTRUMENTATION ever seen on a Three
Eye league diamond Pitcher Rufus
Gilbert today finds himself on the
Distiller suspension list and it will
probably be some time before the
big southpaw who has always been
held in high esteem by Peoria fans
again secures recognition in organ
lied baseball. Gilbert was suspend
ed without pay Immediately after the
game yesterday afternoon when, af-
ter he had been removed from the
box in the ninth inning of the final
game with Waterloo and Pitcher
Ovitz had been sent in to relieve him,
he showed a disgusting display of
temper by throwing the ball over the
grand stand and then heaving his
glove into the amphitheatre.
Third Baseman Kearns of Peoria,
who has secured a likely position
with a publishing firm in Chicago,
has agreed to remain with. the Dis
tillers through the Bloomington SER
les. He will then leave and Rowan
will probably put Byron Henley at
the third corner. Kearns has played
a good fielding game and has hit con-
sistently for a youngster.

KELLER GIVES UP
FIGHT In THE 18TH
Terry Receives Broken Jaw at Hands
OF Joe Thomas at Ogden,
Utah.

Ogden, Utah, July 29.-Terry Keller
gave up his fight with Joe Thomas, ex-
champion middleweight of San Fran
cisco, at the end of the 18th round last
night. Keller's jaw was broken in this
round by a left hook delivered by
Thomas a few seconds before the gong
sounded. Up to the end the fight ap-
peared even, but as Keller went to his
corner he told his trainer he could not
continue, as his jaw had been broken.
An examination proved this to be true,
and his manager threw up the sponge.

One MI. Hendricks from the Water
loo camp proved too much for the ISL
arders in the first tilt of the series
yesterday afternoon and the result
was defeat for Tighes men by the
rather lopsided count Of to 1. Only
two real hits were made off the visit
irg pitcher but the total was pushed
up to five on three inf1eld scratch af-
fairs. Callahan and Davidson made
the two real drives and the single run
scored by the Islanders was the result.
This happened in the eighth inning
when one man was down. Callahan
came up and. swatted one out almost
to the clubhouse and easily made the
far corner before the sphere could be
returned to the diamond. Davidson
followed with a drive into left field
and the trick was done-that is. a
shutout was averted, for up to this
time it looked like a goose egg sure.
visitors Hit Everything.
Frank Lakaff did the. hurting for the
locals, and while he seemed to be in
good form, the Waterloo crowd hit the
tall anyway and made five runs out of
eight hits. They didn't wait for the
ball to come over the plate about half
the time, merely swinging wildly at it
and GHpping out a neat hit. In the
sixth inning, Leard hit one so close to
lis hands that it broke that bat right
off, but he got a hit nevertheless as
beyond his reach. The same thing

rington hit in the sixth and Beiter's
double in the fifth, scoring two men.
we're really the only good honest hits
made by the visitors in the game and
the loss of the contest was in no way
due to Lakaff's heaving.
Waterloo scored the first run of the
game in the very first inning. Long
bounced one just between Kelly and
Snyder which neither could quite reach
on account of the diamond being a lit
tie slow after the rain which fell in
the morning. Fremer followed with a
popup to left that was out of every
ones reach and Long went 70 third on
it. Better hit a long fly out to left
field and long came home after it was
caught.
Bunch Them in Two Rounds.

FRED MCLEOD TAKES BRIDE
Former Western Golf Champion Mar
rieS in St. Louis.

st. Louis, July 29.-Fred R. Nc
Leod, one of the best known golfers
in the west, was married here to
Miss Mabel C. Downs, trained
nurse of New York. Mcleod was
western professional golf champion
in 1907 and missed the western open
championship in 1908 by one stroke,
Willie Anderson being the victor.
The same year, however, Mcleod
