The state veterinarian for Montana
gives US the following statement
regarding CHAMBERS: I'm 1914. a total
of IA, 1874 horses were inspected in Mon
tana. of which 2 90 were destroyed on
account of CHAMBERS. Of the number de-
stroyed, lis, 0757.5 percent were de-
stroyed in Dawson county. This ought
to be of great Importance to horse
owners of the county and with their as
sistance and good will. we hope to be
able in another year to reduce the loss.
at least on a par with other countries.
Adams county seed grain bonds in
the sum of $35, 600 were sold on Thurs
day last to the Union Investment Com
pany of Minnea polls, the same COM
pany that bought the bonds that were
issued last year. The new bonds will
draw interest at a little over six per
cent The county commissioners. after
reviewing carefully the applications for
seed grain decided that $35. 900 will not
be enough and that instead i: will take
at the least consideration $50, 900. Ac-
cordingly they are now advertising for
bids for all additional SIS. 900 worth
of bonds. This with the $35. 900 worth
that has already been sold will, it is
thought. supply the farmers of the
count ypretty we'll.
Deputy Sheriff Anderson went to Mar
marth the first of the week and brought
back with him Labe Woods who had
been surrendered by his bondsmen.
Woods, it will be remembered, was one
of the men in the party when his BROTH
er. Denver Woods shot and killed Mr..
Grove. He was held in the county Jail
in Adams county for about a year. on
the charge of murder, and at the last
term of the district court in Bowman
county the charge was changed to horse
stealing and he was released on bonds.
Since then he had been at Marmarth,
and his conduct was such that the
bondsmen thought they would sleep bet
ter nights il some other fellow was
surety for Woods appearance at the
ext term of district court, so they turn
ed him over to the sherif f.-Bowman
Pioneer.
Mott Pioneer: The indications
strongly underlaid with facts-now are
that tile old reliable Northern Pacific
road will resume the work of building
west from Mott early in the spring.
All last week M. L. Connolly, chief
right of way agent for the N. p. was in
Mott closing up all matters pertaining to
the purchase of lands situated along the
proposed line of the Northern Pacific
west of Mott. Mr.. Connolly came direct
from the head office at St. Paul with
strict orders to consult land owners who
are interested in the sale of the property
which the N. P. proposes to traverse in
its extension west from Mott to the
main line at Terry and to close up all
negotiations for the land. There were
only two tracts in which matters were
pending. the balance of the right of
way having been purchased and the
deals closed up last year. One was
the adjustment of the Jacob Barth Jr..
property involving two quarters near
Mott and the land owned by Chas.
Mutchelknaus also of Mott. We un-
derstand the price paid for the lands
in question was about 50, 900. This
leaves a clear field for the N. P. 10 COM
mence work in the spring.
