Knots at least can take a back seat

was trailed from Shelby to
Blackfoot. Those who were driving
the herd stopped for awhile in Cut
Bank and proceeded on their jour-
ney late in the evening. Since that
evening a horse belonging to A. j.
Whitehead and one belonging to
Will O'Brien have been missing and
diligent search hereabouts has been
fruitless. The Blackfoot herd has
been inspected but the missing ami
mails were not there. The owners
are of the opinion that the horses
have been driven over the Canadian
border line.
Tom Fitzpatrick, brother of J. E.
Fitzpatrick, the we'll known Sweet
Grass rancher, fell from a load of
lumber which he was hauling from
Sweet Grass. on Monday of this
week, and was dead when found by
neighbors, some time afterwards.
Deceased did some ranching in the
Sweet Grass country and resided
with his brother and family most of
the time. He had not been in nor
NAL health for a long time. so the
Pioneer Press understands.
Surveyor Colin Ward is spending
the week in this community, laying
out a number of roads passed upon
by the Commissioners at their re-
cent session. The Ethridge-north
road, a stub connection of the Cut
Bank Kelvin road, the Wilkins road
and a change in the road leading ov-
er the Rim" are receiving the at
tention of the surveyor. J. J. Mil
Ter has been assisting him in the
work.
The Petersons, the we'll known
stockmen of the st. Mary's valley
country. are now at Helena, before
the U. S. court, Judge Raasch pre-
siding. They are charged with
stock rustling and the counts are
numerous. The Helena Record says
it is the biggest case before the
present court. John Bostwick, an
other Blackfeet resident, has plead
ed guilty to the charge of rustling
and will be sentenced tomorrow.
Under the directing care of Col.
Donahue, with Col. Moe as chief adj
visor, the Palace Barber Shop is I'M
dergoing a complete interior remod-
cling. j. l.. Hyatt has charge of
the carpenter work and Morgan &
Bannister the decorating. The pro-
prietor promises that the Palace
will have all the modern convent
ences and luxuries when the work
is completed.
At the Mint there is displayed a
couple of specimens of oats and flax
grown in the community that are
sure-enough eye-openers to those
who have not been out to inspect
the growing grain recently. The
oats is about six inches high and the
flax, which must have been sown
early in the eason is about twelve
inches high and some of it in flower.
Bricklayers have been busily en-
gagged during the week installing a
vault in the First National Bank, a
protective improvement that will be
greatly appreciated by those in
charge of the bank.
Tom Delaney is spending the
week in Cut Bank and expects tc
