the remarkable energy of man when
he once undertakes anything, In 1885
he came to the Musselshell country
and located on Current creek. engag-
ing in the sheep business. Here he
remained for 10 years until 1904 when
he bought the Diamond w ranch near
Laviia from NJ. F. Trask. where he
has made his home since. For 35
years Mr.. Slayton was one of the
principal woolgrowers in this section
disposing of his last sheep only during
the past year. He is the sixth heavi
- taxpayer in the county.
''r. s!ayton's first appearance ir
&c i.:e was in 1894 when he was
tt;cl county commissioner of Fergus
rz,.,.:. l!e served in this capacity
= three years with credit to himself
I'd party, being forced to resign for
the reason that the great distance be-
tween his home and LeWistoWn, the
county seat, prevented him from at
tending TO the duties of the office as
efficiently and we'll as he should and
would have liked to.
In January. 1910, when the people
of the Musselshell valley We're getting
ready to plan the fight for county di-
vision and bring about the creation of
Mnsselshell county, Mr.. Slayton was
picked upon as one of the most cap
able men TO lead the fight. When the
County Division Club was organized
he was elected as its president, and in
this capacity he did much good work
toward the creation Of the new county.
IN selecting Mr., Slayton as their
candidate for state senator, the Re-
pHblieans of Masselshell county have
selected a man Of irreproac liable char
acter, unblemished record, and in
whom a public trust may be reposed
without fear. He is a plain every
day business man OF sound judgment,
whose arguments carry conviction, and
who impresses one with his sincerity
and honesty. In the event of his cleo
tion, of which there is no doubt. Mus
selshell county will have every reason
to feel proud of its first state senator.

WOMAN KILLS IS RATTLERs.
Rancher's Wife Invades Rattlesnake
Rendezvous and Stays Fifteen
of Them

Mrs. Edward Reichard, wife of one
of the progressive and substantial dry
landers in the Wheaton country, last
Sunday killed fifteen rattlesnakes IN
a bunch using the handle of hoe to
do the killing The place where she
found the rattlers was within short
distance of the house where prairie
dogs were wont to make their habitat.
The rattlers did not attempt TO strike
her but as soon AS she commemorate
attack them they started to look for
prairie dog holes as places of safety.
Many Of them did disappear into the
holes while Mrs. Reichard was busy
killing the others. One OF the rattlers
killed was d monster measuring five or
six feet long The number OF rattles
carried by the snakes ranged from
three 10 a dozen During the past two
weeks the Richards have killed
total Of 30 rattlers at the same place
within a radius of about 300 feet. The
past summer their young dauether has
been passing over this same around
every day while going TO school. She
never saw any until the last few
weeks She also has several dead
rattlers to her credit
Mr. Reichard settled on his ranch
last March, and the fact that he has
~ acres under cultivation now and
substantial buildings on his place.
seems TO indicate that the rattlers
can't drive him out The snakes.
however have given him very little
trouble until this fall when they COM
menced to gather on his place to
hole up" for the winter. At the rate
they are being killed they will soon be
exterminated. 1t is a fact that rattle
snakes disappear with the settlement
of country, preferrng to be alone
where they will not be molested by
human beings.

would be. The day wage scale Is ad-
vanced in several classes of labor
principally the lower rates. both inside
and out-the range of increase being
from l0c to 25c per day"
According to statements made by
members of the joint committees ii the
proposed agreement is carried at the
general election the wage scale will be-

ne in force for a period of two years.
-Four thousand miners in the state of
Montana Will receive the benefit, the
advance IN wages amounting to some
thing like $4,000 annually under the
new arrangement.
notwithstanding the fact that the
miners were to remain at work until
the referendum vote on the new scale
was taken. they decided to lay off
This was the action taken by the min

Ton. Daniel w. Slayton. member
III of the last house of representa-
= tiyes, and this fall candidate
for state senator on the Republican
ticket hardly needs an introduction to
the readers of The Record. AS one Of
the pioneers Of the Musselshell valley
and this section of the state he has
earned for himself by his never failing
integrity and honorable dealings with
his fellow men, the love, respect and
esteem of everybody. From one end
of the county to the other is he known
as man of honor. man whose word
is as good as his bond man in whom
the people of Musselshell county may
place every confidence and feel that it
is not misplaced. He is without ques-
ton the most popular man before the
voters this fall. Both Republicans and
Democrats are f1ocking to his standard
and his election as state senator from
this county is only matter of now
and the fifth day of November, being
practically conceded by prominent
men in both parties.
When the Republicans of Mussel.
shell county selected Mr.. Slayton to
head the local ticket in the first cam
paign to be conducted in the baby
county, they selected wisely and we'll
He was the logical candidate for the
position having been a member of the
lower house during the term that the
county was created. He "made
good" and the people recognized it by
honoring him with the nomination for
senator.
Dan Slayton was born in Stuben
county. New York. in 1862, during
Civil War times. Several years later
his folks removed to Fairfax county,
Virginia. where they remained until
1884. In the spring of that year Mr.
Slayton broke his home ties. being
then % years of age, and came to
Montana. He landed at Livingston
and Immediately started out, afoot, for
White Sulphur Springs where he was
to join brother of his. He made the
journey in one day, feat which shows

.JENIzEN NAMED IN
PLACE OF BARTz
TERMS OF REP. CANDIDATES FOR
COMMISSIONERS DESIGNAT.
ED AT MEETING.

A Republican mass convention was
held here yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF regularly placing in nOmina-
ton three candidates for county COM
missioner with respect to the six,
four and two year terms, matter
which was overlooked at the county
convention. The meeting was we'll
attended, 81 votes being cast. Chair
man Richardon of the central commit
tee called the meeting to order, after
which F. NJ. Wall was elected chair
man, and A. w. Eiselein secretary.
Olaf Jensvold was placed in nomina-
ton for the siX-year term, and George
Bachman for the four-year term. A
contest developed over the two-year
term between Henry Bartz, who was
nominated at the county convention,
and w. c. Jenizen. the present incum-
bet. JeniZen was nominated by a vote
Of "a to %.
The discrepancy in the nominations
for county commissioner was purely
an oversight on the part of the con-
vention. The committee on rules and
order had made provisions in their
report for the nomination of these can
didates with respect to the terms, but
upon the advice of several of the dele
gates it was eliminated with the un.
derstanding that it was to be brought
up before the convention for discus
sion and adjustment. In the excit-
ment and turmoil of the convention the
whole matter was overlooked
At the meeting yesterday resolu-
tion was also adopted authorizing the
executive committee to fill any vacan-
cy that may occur on the ticket by
reason of death, resignation or other
causes.
