TO BUILD NEXT SPRING

From the expressions of L. G..
Gilman, assistant to President Hill
of the Great Northern, who has
returned to the city after a trip
through the Judith basin accom-
panied by Chief Engineer A. H.
Hogeland, R. E. Taft, engineer in
charge of construction, and several
local Great Northern officials, it is
the belief that the work of con.
structing the proposed Great Nor
thern line from Mondak to Lewis.
town and on to connect with the
Billings line, will be taken up next
spring
Mr.. Gilman was amazed and
pleased with the farm conditions
and the great grain yields of that
section.
The party also inspected the
construction work on the Sun
river line and found grading al
most completed. The laying of
track and the building of bridges
will be taken up as soon as pos
sible and it is expected to have
the line completed early in the
spring, and it will then be con-
tinued through the Flathead to
connect with the main line near

sible through the number system.
Under the arrangements the

KILLED WHILE FLOWING

Another fatal accident occurred
Monday afternoon in the Sherman
field, west of Whithe Sulphur
Springs, in which Dennis Lewis
lost his life. The unfortunate
young man was engaged in blowing
with a four horse team, and just
how the accident occurred will
probably never be known. w.
Reed who resides in the vicinity
noticed the horses stand
ing in the field. Thinking that
something was wrong, he investi-
gated, and found Lewis under the
plow, covered with mud. One of
the horses was down while the
other three were entangled- in the
harness. Mr.. Reed Immediately
notified the officials, when it was
learned that the man had been
dead abot two hours. The body
was taken to the home of Charles
H. Sherman and prepared for
burial.
He was born in Michigan and
was 38 years of age and unmarried.
He came to Montana to years ago
and has worked for Mr.. Sherman
ever since making this state his
home. He was a sober, indus
trious and capable yonng man, and
was a member of the Eagle.

MONTANA Is A

WILL FILED FOR PROBATE

The will of the late Senator
Carter, filed for probate, is one of
the briefest on record in Washing
ton. The value of the estated is
not indicated, but it is estimated
at half million. 1t is written in
ink in the handwriting of the
senator himself and covers a
single sheet of foolscap and is
dated May 18, 1911.
The executors are directed to
turn over to Edward J. Carter, a
brother, all notes and other claims
in full satisfaction of their af-
fairs"
His sister, Julia, is left life
annuity of 5000; to be paid out of
the income from the estate. i.
In bequeathing the whole resi-
due to his widow, Carter provided
that at her death everything re-
naming should go to his two sons
John G. and Hugh Thomas,
equally. Widow and sons are
named as executors, but the wish
of the testator is that the widow
shall act as sole executrix until the
younger son reaches the age of "a.
To the widow the large estate is
intrusted during her life to deal
with as.she may like and the pro-
bate court is requested to dispense
with bonds.

BOZEmAN AND N. P. MIX

The city of Bozeman has been
made defendent in suit filed in
the the fedral court by the North,
ern Pacific Railway company to
restrain it from preventing the
company from extending it's tracks
across certain streets and alleys
in the Uptown" yards in Boze.
man. Judge Rasch issued a tenn
porary injunction and ordered the
defendent and Mayor Mannery
and Chief of Police Reynolds to
show cause October II, why a
permanent Injunction should not
be granted.
The complaint alleges that July
6 the city council of Bozeman
passed an ordinance giving the
complainant permission to extend
it's tracks across certain streets
and alleys, that subsequently a
petition was filed to have the Or
dinance referred to vote of the
people, but this petition, it is
alleged, was not signed by Is per
cent of the qualified property
owners and that therefore it does
not suspend the operation of the
ordinance. October 3rd, when
workmen began on the extension
across Broadway they were stop
ped by the mayoy and chief of
police, the complaint recites. A
permanent restraining order is
asked for; the court is asked to
adjudge that the complainant is
entitled to occupy the streets and
alleys designated in the ordinance
and it is also asked to issue
temporary restraining order.

EXPECT BIG ATTENDANCE

That the winter school of agri
culture conducted by the Montana
State College of Agriculture will
be well attended this year is in.
dicated by the prospects now. The
course, which is six months in
duration, opened last Tuesday.
Already there are number regis
tered for the work and Prof. H. F.
Patterson, principal of the school,
is in correspondence with many
who will be there this week.
The course is given for those
who have neither the preparation
nor the time for a regular college
course in agriculture. During
the past summer the plan of the
short course has been revised and
the practical side of the work en-
phasized more than formerly.
The department has collected
prize samples of grain and corn
from the state fair and other
sources and has purchased stock
of first-class quality for the benefit
of the students.

COUNTY LAW SUSTAINED

The supreme court last Friday
rendered it's first decision on the
law passed by the last legislature
providing for the creation of new
counties, and although the con-
stitution of the law was not raised
in the arguments in the case at
issue, the court reviewed the var
ious provisions of the act, and, it
is believed by those who have read
the decision, theoretically upheld
the law. The specific point at is
sue was the question of whether
the entire registration roll or
merely the present actual electors
of the portion of the county sought
to be divided should be used as a
basis of computing the number of
signatures to the petition, the law
requiring that one-half of the elec
tors of the territory out Of which
it is proposed to create a new cOun,
ty shall join in the petition for it's
creation.
