A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our !.
Northern Montana Exchanges.
HavrefPl .indea'er: A suit has been
fled in the district court at Havre by
F. r. Kroner against l.. Minugh,
Cha,l les Smith, Ernest p. Ekeeren,
and Charles Kemp, in which tn. pl air-
tiff asks for 500 dam ages, alleging
the defendants had in some way con-
spired to ~in]ure him and drive him
from Harlem.
Conrad Observer: just to chow our
eastern cousins and the world ia GET
eral how a new country is made in a
hurry, eight large power outfits haul
ing eight and ten gangs OF plows we're
passed in procession along Fourth
avenue 90 Tuesday and were photo.
graphed, the same to be used 10 mo.
ton pictures to be shown by the Great
Northern railroad.
Lewistown Argus: Several Men
nouites, representing q colony of that
sect looking for q location spent some
day here this week. They have Wis
tied various parts of Montana and
have reached the conclusion that the
Judith basin is better adapted to their
needs than any other section. II sat
isfactory terms for q large tract of
land can be made, the colony will
come I o this section.
Glasgow Independent: Ira NJ.
Booth, who was convicted in the court
here a few months ago on a charge of
horse.stealing, has been granted q new
trial on the grounds Of probable cause
and an order made that he be taken 10
charge by the sheriff of this county.
Sheriff Stephens will leave t. morrow
for Deer Lodge to take charge of the
prisoner and brig him back to Glas-
gov awaiting q new hearing.
Chinook Opinion: The trains from
the east are leaving land seekers here
every day and a number of entries are
being made right along. There has
been no rush 10 large punches here
but q steady influx of inquiries for
land. Many of them of curse come
here t O join friends who have already
settled here and there will be little
available land unclaimed in a radius
OF many miles by the end OF the sum-
mer.
Chinook Opinion: The first jury
term of court for Blaine county has
been called by Judge Frank N. Utter.
Judge Utter held q court session here
Monday at the Monday session order
ed a jury venire of one hundred drawn
and set the date for their appearance
at Monday, June 3. He then set the
cases on the calendar for trial. The
two murder cases head the list.
George Klass' trial is set for June
and that of Jos. Bixby 1t June 5
Galata Journal: The Hon. Dan
Mckay spoke last night to a fairrsized
audience on the subject of creating
Toole county. 1t looks as though
Uncle Dan has gotten into q life-job,
as demands for his services are being
made from different parts of the state,
since county division seems to be
quite the rage. We understand the
Toole county supporters have thei1
Petition we'll under way, and expec
to present it to the commissioner
within a week.
Lewistown Democrat: That tn
Great Northern and the Milwaukee
have entered into q rae to determine
which can have their line across
Fergus county and through Lewistowl
completed first Is no longer any secret
The Great Northern got q slight star
by putting a big force OF contractor
at work on the link between Lewis
town and Moccasin. 1t was then tn
Milwaukee's move and they made i
by announcing last night, at Grea
Falls, that the line from the Mussel
shell river through Lewistown t
Great Falls, will be rushed to CON
2 pletion with the next twelve months.
