a saloon and said he could lick any
one IN the city, state OF county, and
who when he got licked excused him
self by saving that he took in too
much territory" began a travelling
salesman the other day. Here Is q
better version Of the same storyt
eeThe man was drunk and entered
a bowery dance hall in New York
He took a position in the middle Of
the floor and shouted at the top Of
his voice: Z can hex any man IN
this nom. No one paid any atten-
ton % him. but one man finally got
sore, and started TO pound him
"Did the drunk get sore and say
that he took in too much territory
lie did not he Jumped to his feet
PLACED his arm across the shoulder
OF the man who had given him {

PROVIDENCE FORGE
Is GROWING.

Providence Forge. the busy little
New Kent village. is taking on new
growth and has the appearance of
being prosperous. The latest TO
build there is MIR. w. B. Coggin. the
division superintendent of schools Of
New Kent and Charles City, who
makes that place his headquarters.
MIR. Coggin has purchased a small
tract of land and will put in his spare
moments raising chickens. ct cetera.
Providence Forge IS surrounded by
a prosperous farming community
that needs only settlers-good far
mers, &C make it equal 10 any section
Of the state. The place needs a
hustling real estate man 70 advertise
its advantages and resources. 1t is
I close enough 10 Richmond. Ctwenty-
| four niles TO made 1t a shipping
point for milk. butter, cream, poultry
and vegetables. Ii should be the
principal town of New Kent and

little push upwards by its people

great wonder is that the section i:

a decidedly unique and interesting en-

in every day life. While his programs
In this line are miscellaneous, each
number naturally and logically fol-
lows the preceding one, combining to
make a grand panorama of associated
characters.
A novelty also in itself is the fact
that Mr.. Ratio ''makes up" for each
Oh ar acteriza alton before the audience.
He pencils in full view of the audience,
telling an appropriate story all the
while. Mr.. Ratio Is q psychologist.
He studies his audiences before open.
ing his program to suit the taste Of
those before him. While most of his
program Is of the humorous nature,
here and there he slips In a touch o.
the darker side of life that fails
to score heavily and bring handker'
chiefs to the eyes OF many. He has
swayed many an audience from
laughter to tears.

years ago. There is said to be a
legacy awaiting him.
The Chinook creamery, according
to q recent announcement, had a good
reason last year. its butter product
exceeding $4,000 pounds during the
twelve months. A dividend of 10 per
cent to its stockholders indicates q
profitable business.
The state treasurer has received q
check for ga. 1886 IS from the national
treasury, the amour representing
Montana's share of five per cent OF
the receipts from sales of public land
In the state. The money goes into the
permanent school fund.
According to advices from Billings,

At q recent meeting of county Of
fcials at Missoula, the commissioners

OF SO per cent.
A news item from Lewistown says
Fergus county will have an immense
acreage ia spring wheat this year,
Owing to delays 10 harvesting because
of long continued wet weather last
fall, many farmers we're unable to gel
in winter wheat, and they will al,
make up for this by planting spring
wheat this year. There will also be q
large acreage Of fax In this year
probably nearly double that of las
season.

FREEDOM FOR HOWELL.
Chouteau County Convict Released
By Board Of Pardons.

The assistance of Influential friends
secured freedom for William Howell,
a Chouteau county convict sentenced
TO life Imprisonment for murder, whose
sentence was commuted by Governor
Norris last November to q term OF %
years. A parole has DOW been grant
ed by the state board, which enables
the prisoner to leave the penitentiary
under certain conditions.
A news item from Helena says few
men ever have been ia the Montana
state prison who possessed as many
influential friends as Howell, accord.
ing to state officials, and earnestly as
these friends have sought to secure
his freedom, just as earnestly have
friends of the man whom he shot been
laboring to keep him behind the bars
for the remainder of his life. Howell
is a cowboy who worked in Texas and
Oklahoma before coming to eastern
Montana. From there he drifted up
to Chouteau county. In a row overIa
card game in q Fort Benton saloon
he shot and killed Edwin Dale, also a
cowboy having many friends among
the stockmen comprising the Sbonkiu
Roundup association.
Howell pleaded self defense, but he
was found guilty of murder in the
second degree and sentenced to serve
50 years. November ID Governor
Norris granted q diminution of SEN
tence reducing Rowell's term to y
years. He was sentenced In November,
1900, and under the reduced tern
would get out next year. Protests
Immediately began to come in to the
state board of pardons from Chouteau
county stockmen and at the hearing
they we're represented by b. S. Nc
Ginley of Fort Benton, who protested
against the board approving Of thu
action of the governor. O. W. Nc
Cornell appeared tor Howell and L
M. Stacey. the Miles City banker, ani
State Senator J. E. Edgards, who IL
by-eone days himself rode the range
by Howell's eide, urged the board tt
approve the diminution.
After the board had decided to ap
prove the governors action, the stat
parole board met and granted q parol
to the man. Last night the news wal
telephoned to Deer Lodge, and Howell
walked out of the penitentiary.
