minds of everyone is, "What has be-
come of Lawrence Grant?"
Since he arose Saturday at day
light and walked out into the street
from a room where he and friend
had spent the night, he has not been
seen by anyone and his disappearance
could not be more mystifying had the
earth opened and swallowed him
Lawrence Grant, or as he was better
known "Grat," has for the past sew
eral years been manager of the Frank
Mitchell ranch. south of town, and
has always borne reputation for in
dustry and honesty. At times when
work was slack at the ranch, Grant
would come to town and spend few
days among his friends. Although he
left Saturday morning, it was evening
before his disappearance was noticed

Secretary State Board Of Health De-
ivers Interesting Address Here.
Doctor Thomas Tuttle, secretary of
the state board of health, delivered an
interesting lecture at the Princess
theater last Thursday evening. The
building was crowded and the Hell
ena physician, who is an expert on
city sanitation, held the closest at
tention of all present.
The lecture was illustrated with
stereopticon views OF local streets and
alleys Many of these views were by
no means Aattering, and doubtless,
after seeing their back-yards in pic
ture, many property owners will get
busy at once cleaning up their
premises. Doctor Tuttle showed how
dirty streets, alleys and back-yards in
variably lead to outbreaks OF con-
tagion. and his entire address was
strong appeal for cleaner and more
sanitary surroundings.
| The. Lewistown Women's club
members were instrumental in bring
ing DR.. Tuttle to the city and paid all
expenses and deserve the thanks OF
the community for thus showing
practical interest in their community

is BADLY NEEDED NOW
Crowded Condition of Present School
Buildings Make Additional Room
Absolutely Necessary.

AT a meeting OF the board Of trus-
tees OF School District No. !, held
yesterday afternoon in the Office Of
Clerk ii. B. Cutler, a resolution was
adopted calling special election on
Saturday, May IS. for the purpose Of
permitting the qualified electors in
this district to decide whether or not
they shall vote bonds i'll the sum Of
SIS 900 for the erection and equip
ment Of new central school building
III LcwistoWn on the site Of the old
brick structure on Sixth and Seventh
avenues. This resolution Is the re
suit OF numerous meetings recently
held by the board, at which all mat
tcrs pertaining to the subject have
been thoroughly discussed and
thrcshed out
More Room Badly Needed
The school rooms III all Of the
buildings Of the city are now badly
oyercroWded and another large build
ing is already a necessity ii the in
crease in students continues for the
next three years as it has during the
three years past, the twelve Or four
teen rooms into which the proposed
new building will be divided, will all
be occupied and there will then be
call for yet more room.
Building for the Future
The board decided that it Is wise
at this time to build for the future,
and for that reason, are going to ask
the taxpayers to vote bonds sufficient
to erect modern, fire-proof struc-
ture to cost between fifty and sixty
thousand dollars. The district is in
excellent shape financially and the
assessed valuation for 1911 will be
such as to cause no increase in the
school tax levy by reason of the con-
templated bond issue. The revenue
which shall come from the natural
increase in valuation will enable the
boards of the future to put aside
sinking fund which will amply take
care OF the bonds when they become
due in twenty years, and may enable
them to be paid off in ten years, at
which time they will become redeem
able. The new building will be To-
Gated on the sight OF the old brick
building, which is in the center OF
the block bounded by Sixth and
Seventh avenues and Janeaux and
Watson streets.
For the present. the old building
will not be disturbed, granting that
the bonds shall be voted and new
building erected. The new structure
will be built in front Of the block and
amore slightly location for a beautiful
public building cannot be found in the
city.
Advertise for Plans.
The board will Immediately adver-
tise for architects plans 1t is un-
decided just yet as to the character
Of the building, although the most
feasible plan would appear to favor
the erection OF a building two stories
above tie basement and constructed
of native stone or pressed brick.
These are matters which will be
threshed out during the next two or
three weeks by the board H. A.
Dayee, r. G. Jackson and J. w. Luton
were appointed judges Of the special
election, which will be held between
the hours OF 2 and 6 o'clock at the
Hawthorne building.

At that time miner who has been
inquired for him. AS he went from
place to place with no success, It
dawned on him that something was
wrong, and with a number of citi-
zens, he began search of the out
buildings and sheds around town.
Thinking it possible that he had taken
short cut and walked home another
visit was made to the ranch, but he
had not been there. Sunday the town
and surrounding country was again
gone over and word sent to Stanford
and Spionkop, but he had not been
seen. A number of men visited the
reservoir east Of town. trying to find
footprints or some clue, but as the
grass grows up to the edge of steep
bank, it was impossible to find any
trace whatever. While apparently OF
a cheerful disposition, the fact of his
being away so long and without be-
ing seen by anyone. would give weight
to the suicide theory, which is also
strengthened by the fact that his dog
faithful friend, is still around town
and has been noticed coming from
the direction Of the reservoir.
