Northern Montana Exchanges.
The Floweree: About 3 care of
wheat and FAX have been clipped
from Floweree this fall. It is estima-
ted that about 30 cars SKILL remain To
be shipped.
Harlem News: w. j.. Carter Of
Coburg was taking q shotgun down
from its rack on the wall Frids y after.
noon, when it mysteriously exploded
and blew q hole through his left
shoulder large enough to throw Q
baseball through. Mr.. Carter did
not know the gun al loaded, and was
taking It down with the muzzle pointed
toward him. The charge went through
the shoulder, laying bare the veins 10
the neck, narrowly missing the jugular

Conrad Observer: A new entangle-
ment has recently sprung up in the
Shelby county division scheme by the
fling of q suit to Withdraw certain
townships in the Cut Bank section
| which were included iu the proposed
new county of Toole. The special
| election to vote on the proposition has
been fixed for January 2, next, but the
filing of this new contest to certain
townships will necessi'ate a postpone.
ment until the question is decided ia
the courts.
bingham Review: 1t Is quite evident
that there has not been enough oats
raised in this vici nifty the past season
to supply the local demand, and oats
will have to be shipped in from other
places. The small acreage sown was
perhaps due to the fact that oats is
not considered as profitable a crop as
wheat aud fax, but it would have
been as profitable this year.. as those
in u position to know say that oats
will be worth so cents a busheI by
spring.
Havre Promoter: For the second
time the home of Rev. Leonard J..
Christler has been devastated by fire,
"Hill Crest ranch south of this city
having been burned Monday night.
The result of the fire strongly points
to its being OF incendiary origin, q
small clubhouse between the house and
stable being left intact, while burned
strips of grass showing the direction
Of the wind, would prevent the idea
of sparks from one building having
set fire to the other.
Box Elder Press: Anthem Nelson,
who arrived here only a few weeks
ago from Harvey, N. OAK, to make
his residence on his homestead about
twelve miles northwest Of town was
accidentally killed Friday afternoon
on the road o short distance from

up his wagon with household goods
which he had shipped in here and
purchasing some groceries had start

threw Mr.. Nelson to the ground ant
the wagon fell over on him pinnins
him there so that he could not nov
= and he expired before help arrived.
