GREAT CELEBRATION
IS HELD At H|LGER
ABLE ADDRESSES BY JUDGE ROY
e. AYERS AND DAVID
HlLGER.

The celebration at Hilger last week,
which marked the second anniversary
of the founding of the town, was a
great success in every way. The at.
tendance was large, people coming in
from all the adjacentt owns. Ample
provision had been made and there
was entertainment for all.
Splendid addresses were made by
Judge Roy e. Ayers and David Hilger
and varied program of sports In
terested the crowds. One of the fea-
lures was the drilling contest, in which
Driscoll and Robinson, of Kendall,
were matched against Carstens and
Sherman, of Maiden, the latter team
winning. In second match in which
John Driscoll replaced Driscoll on the
Kendall team, the Maiden men again
won.
In two games of baseball the Hill
ger team defeated a team from Lew
istown and in the second game de-
feated the Roy team.
Hilger's Address.
Both Judge Ayers and Mr.. Hilger
made fine addresses, the latter going
back to the time in 1881 when he first
viewed the site of Hilger, little dream
ing that he would later see a pros
porous and populous city there. Mr..
Hilger reviewed the development of
Fergus county from the early days
and dwelt at considerable length up
on the farming industry.
Referring to the extension of the
roads into the north Judith Basin from
Hilger and the founding of other
towns, Mr.. Hilger said:
There are quite number of towns
along the two proposed branches, sit
uated at convenient points, the inten-
ton being to make 1t as easy as pos
sible for the people to ship their
wheat, but as far as the town of Hill
ger is concerned, it will have no effect
whatever, for the reason that you have
the mining industry. which is going
to continue for a decade, and you
have as good an agricultural section
around the town of Hilger as there is
anywhere in the northwest l might
also suggest that Hilger will have
quite a payroll, because 1t will be-
come necessary to have permanent

HAVE GIVEN UP
BY ASSOCIATED PRESs

Douglas, Aliz.. June 23.-General
Pedro Ojeda, the federal commander
who fought a three days battle in
and around Ortiz, Mex, with the at
tacking state troops under Genera
Obregon was today reported TO have
surrendered. The constitutional junta
here was unable to confirm the re-
port
Advices received from the Junta and
private sources at NogaIes last week
stated that Ojeda had been surround
ed and handicapped by the greater
strength Of his enemy and steady loss
by desertiOns, would be forced to sur
render. This gave color to the re-
port today which received credencs
not only among sympathizers with the
Sonora insurgents, but also among
observers on the American side of the
line.
The enmity between Oieda and the
rebel leader Obregon has not merely
been that Of opposing soldiers. Per
sOnal feeling caused Obregon to an
nounce some time ago that when he
had whipped Ojeda, who beat him sew
erai times at Aqua Prieta recently, he
would have the federal general shot.

before the, tariff bill reaches the SEN
ate for final debate. Until the sugar
schedule was reached the party caucus
was entirely harmonious, but the decks
are now cleared for the first deter

lie binding on senators with the pros
pect that Thornton and RansdeI, Of
Louisiana, or maybe one or the other
VIII be released from the pledge.
Senator Shafroth of Colorado, opened 4
the fight and was followed by Walsh
OF Montana. The latter is fighting for
free wool but is standing by the anti
free sugar men in the caucus fight
The wooden and wooden manufac-
lures schedule was sustained by the
caucus with the only material change
being the free listing of cabinet woods
Four votes on the metal schedules
sustained the committee each time.
