what advancement the town is

that there has been spent, or

dollars in buildings and improve

Of these are very noticeable to the
visitors, but those living in town
do not pay attention to them.

REFUSED.
Judge Cheadle Refuses An In
junction in the Case of
Judith Land Co.

On Friday morning Judge
Cheadle decided one of the most
interesting cases that has arisen
in Meagher County for some years,
when he refused the Judith Land
Company of st. Paul an injunction
against Wilton a. Miller and
others of Twodot, and set aside the
temporary restraining order that
| had been issued.
The Judith Land Company sued
Wilton A. Miller for an account
ing during the month Of February,
at the June term of Court in
White Sulphur Springs, it was
stipulated to settle the case by
arbitration. The board met, and
in their findings annulled the lease
contract that Mr.. Miller had on the
land of the Judith Land Company
north of Twodot, being about
$4,000 acres. The lease was @ five
year lease, and only two years had
expired.
Mr.. Miller contended that the
board had exceeded their authority
in determining the lease, and pro
ceeded to occupy the ranch as he
had always done. The Judith
| Land Company then brought
an action on the award and asked
that Miller and his wife and son
4 in-law be restrained from further
interference on the ranch, and ask
ing for damages.
The case was transferred from
White Sulphur Springs to Lewis
town on stipulation and was Eear6
in Lewistown on Wednesday anc
Thursday of last week. The evi
dence was yoluminous, and tin
case was hotly contested and inter
esting. Judge Chcadle took th'
) case under adyisement, and decid
ed to deny an injunction to tn
' Judith Land Company. and hcls
r that the contract could not hav
j. been cancelled by the board, ant
1 that it was still binding upon TIL
s parties.
e Mr.. Miller, who is well acquain'
4 ed in Twodot and Harlowton. an

der and 1t was not deemed advisable
to intrust the ritual to any one not
eligible to membership. AT that time
Major Benjamin F. Stephenson, the
originator of the Grand Army, was 3
resident of Springfield, and there he
wrote the ritual. At Decatur he found
two soldier printers-Isaac CoItrin
and Joseph Pryor-and they "set up
the ritual. There wer twelve char.

into being Is still standing In De

Captain Riebsame recalls that the
room in which the first meeting was
held was the second story Of q bust.

loft, without lights or furniture. In
this primitive meeting place, on the
night of April s, 1865, the Grand
Army was born. Candles stuck IN
bottles or IN inches in the walls fur.
nished the only light The veterans
sat upon boxes and took the oath OF
allegiance. The surroundings were
bare and dismal, but all present were
fired by patriotism and the enthus-
iasm of youth. Major Stephenson, dy-
ing in 1871, did not live to see the
tremendous growth and power of the
order.
NJ. F. Kapan was the first com
mander and George r Steele the
first adtutant.
The ritual was revised in later
years and it now bears little resemb-
lance to its original form. The orig
inal contained long eulogies OF Lin
coin, Grant and other war time
heroes, and conveyed the idea that
the order was designed to uphold the
Government after the close OF the
war and be ready at any time to take
up arms again, If necessary, to pro
tect the flag. The order took an act
i've part in politics and this came near
proving fatal. Finally, after Gen.
John A. Logan was chosen command
er, many posts which had been aban-
Goned because of political differences
were. revived, and the order flourished
anew.

G. A. R. POST

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Of
tional encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic which opened
this week at Los Angeles, one of the
most notable will be Capt. Christian
Riebsame of Bloomington, who has
the distinction of being the last sur
vivor of the first G. A. II. post. All
of his eleven associates are, dead.
Christian Riebsame came from
Germany in 1853 and settled in Chi
cago. In 1883 he moved to Decatur.
His first occupation was that of bar
Der. He numbered among his Gus
toners Abraham Lincoln and Richard
Oglesby, later Governor. He was
among the first to enlist in the Civil
War. His regiment was the One
Hundred and Sixteenth Illinois Infan.
try and he served until the surrender
of Lee, By successive promotions he
rose to the rank of captain. Among
the battles he engaged in were Vicks-
burg, Resaca, Chickasaw Bayou, Ar
kansas Port, Dallas, Fort McAllister,
Savannah, Bentonville, Columbus,
Ezra Chapel, Kenesaw Mountain, New
House Church and Jonesborough. He
was in the grand review of the troops
in Washington after the close of the
war. On being mustered out he re-
turned to Decatur, but subsequently
came to Bloomington.
Decatur acquired the honor Of be-
ing the birthplace of the first G. A. r.
post because of the fact that none Of
the printers in Springfield was sol

grants. They do make crop contracts
however.
He said, in answer to a question
from Ashford, that not more than one
or two were ever physically forced to
leave the immigration station.
He told of the troubles that arose
with the Russians brought here, end
ing with the statement that of the L.
0S6 brought here, about half have gone
to the mainland, and that of the 1000
Russians now in the Territory, about
$50 are on plantations.
Mr.. Thurston volunteered an expla-
nation of the blowing open of the safe
with dynamite during the strike some
years ago. He spoke for Attorney
Kinney, who could not be present, and
told Kinney's story of the entire af-
fair. According to it, Kinney figured
that the end justified the means. b
THE explanation does not leave me
with any clearer view OF just why
Mr.. Kinney did il than | had before"
remarked Secretary Fisher. Kinney,
Thurston said, faced two horns of a
diIemma-one the question of going
dence to convict; the other, the ques-
ton of violating the law to get the
discriminating evidence.
S. T. Starrett, Superintendent of
Public Marketing, was asked few
questions Starrett said he feels that
freight rates to the mainland are very
fair. He said he is optimistic as to
the development of small farming,
and said that as far as freight rates,
including Inter-Island rates. are ais
right except that perhaps in one or
two cases the landing charges are
excessive.
In answer to Mr.. Fishers question,
Gov. Frear said it is question
whether the harbor commission has
authority to regulate rates at private
~ owned wharves where the general
public is served.
Mr.. Starrett thought that if the
Government would help small grow
ers in the matter of water the diver
sified farming could be made profit
able in the Territory
He was then excused, and the Gov
crnor asked If he had any statement
to make that he had overlooked. He
recalled none, and Attorney Ashford
asked him regarding the license for
water held by the Laupahoehoe Plan
tation.
This, with the general statements
by the Governor, Ashford and Mr.
Ashford, ended the hearings.
