REFUSES TO
VACATE LAND
After Selling Ranch on Pole Creek
Rancher Refuses to Give
Possession.

Regrettlng his action in selling
his ranch at the head of Pole creek
IN the Snowy mountains, d. X.
Anderson now steadfastly refuses to
give possession thereof to the prr-
chaser, S. w. Raddue, of Delevan,
Nina, according to the terms Of the
contract entered into last October.
The deal for the ranch, which en-
braces 24O acres, was made last
October, the purchase price being
$1,000, $500 of which was paid
down In cash at the time. When
Mr.. Raddue arrived here about three
weeks ago with his family and a
complete equipment of farm mach
inery to occupy the land he found
tnat the original owner refused to
give possession Of the ranch.
Both parties have engaged coun-
eel and the case will come up in
district court for settlement.

AN ARTESIAN
WELL STRUCK
Flowing Well is Struck on Horse
Thief Greek at Depth Of
22O Feet

An artesian we'll was struck or
the ranch of Bert Miller on Horse
Thief creek last week. and Mr.. Mil
Ter now enjoys the many advan
tages of steady stream of cleal
flowing water on his place. The
we'll was drilled by Mr.. Miller him
self with the aid of Henry Willis
well drilling outfit. The depth o
the well is only 22O feet, and the
pressure of the water is sufficient tC
bring it up in a pipe about three feet
above the surface of the ground
It is only partly cased, and it is
thought that when completely eased
the pressure will be considerabl,
increased. 1t is also probable that
by drilling deeper stronger flow
can be secured. Mr.. Miller's ranch
is located where Cameron and Pole
creeks join Horse Thief.
This is the first real flowing vel
to be struck in this immediate sec.
ton, and proves the contention held
by many that artesion wells We're q
possibility here.

Musselshell County Cuts
Lose from Fergus at
Even Break
Will Get Share Of Delinquent Taxes
However Meaeher County Pays
Baby County $197

Musselshell county cuts lose from
Fergus without cent of cash or
indebtedness. This was the settle
ment arrived at last Friday at Lew
istown at a consultation between
the commissioners Of both counties
with Judge Cheadle presiding.
After deadlock extending over
four days, an agreement was reach
ed as to the apportionment of the
county funds and bonded indebted
ness between the parent and newly
created counties,
Under the terms Of the agreement
there will be no money transferred
from one county to the other. The
assets Of Fergus county in which
Musselshell had pro rata interest,
were figured up as follows: Court
house, $4,000; furniture. $11, 900;
Jail, $S,950.6S; poor farm, $1,000;
clock, 81. 800; cash on hand, $62,-
1882, Total, 1903, 1SO. The debit
items include bonded Indebtedness,
$2O3. 900, with $3.50 interest, total,
$2O3, $50. :.
The deadlock as a result of the
valuation placed on the property of
Fergus hy the commissioners Of that
county. The court house was put
in at less than actual cost, while the
grounds were not included at al, !,
the Fergus county board claiming
that this was donated and therefore
not a part Of the assets to be APP
portioned. It was also contended
by the Musselshel representatives
that the poor farm is worth more
than the figure fixed in the list
above.
However it was finally agreed to
call it a stand off with the under
standing that the new county is to
receive one fifth of the delinquent

rer Of WOODEN goods in Salt Lake

encouragement in establishing such
an enterprise here.
Mr.. Lever has complete plant

is possible that sheepmen in this
section as well as local business
men will aid the enterprise finan-

sheep interests are fast selling out
and retiring from business on ac-
count Of the enroachment of The

The sheep business will be carried
on on a smaller scale by more

The other prisoner was Fred Jones
who was arrested here last week fof
stealing watch and gun from a

Night Policeman Potter visited
the Jail about eleven O'Clock at
which time all was we'll. Not until
one o'clock was it discovered that
the prisoners had broke Jail. All
the neighboring towns were noti-
fled to be on the lookout for Jones,
who it is believed left town on one
of the trains the same night. No
trace has yet been found of him.
The other prisoner returned to his
home at Klein where he was found
by the authorities the next morning.
He claims he knows nothing about
the Jail breaking. No charge has
been entered against him and he
was allowed his freedom.
The local authorities are now try
