work for the day and had started
to her room in the girls dormitoiy.
As she started down the stone
steps on the north side of the Adj
ministration building she was seen
tn pitch forward and fall the tull
length of the steps. A few seconds
later she was picked up unconscious
and carried to the dormitory. In
falling she struck her head on the
edge Of one of the steps, cutting
a deep cash in her head, just above
the right eve In about an hour
after being carried in she rega'ned
consciousness, and was able to give
the phone number OF her home, and
to to say a lew words to those who
were in the room with her. Later
in the evening she again lost con-

in her brain had been ruptured, and
they had very little hope of her re-
covery. onSaturday morning. DR..
Gibson, Miss Walkers family ply
sician from Richmond, Ky, arrived,
but after examinaing the case, he
held no hope OF her recovery. All

At 10 o'clock crowds commenced

The attendance was so large that

The main altar was tastefully dec

Malta 7.-Harlem 3

Malta ball boys won their second
game of the season here last Sunday
from the team from Harlem. With
the exception of the wind The day
was an ideal one for ball playing and
a good article of ball was put up by
both teams. The most noticeable
thing about the game was the way
The home team Fingered up and done
some hitting. The team work was
the best it has been this season and
individually the players did excep-
tionally we'll. The home team had
the game won from the start and run
in scores almost at will.
The Harlem players were a fine
bunch of boys but they realized they
were outclassed from the first and
this and good batting by our fellows
rather discouraged them.
Malta boys appeared for the first
time in their new suits and they
showed up far better than in any pre-
ViOus game.
Next Sunday the ball team will 90
to Havre where they have game
with the team of that place. Havre
has strong team, but with any kind
of luck Malta will have another sca)p
to their credit when they return.

Flour Mill for Malta

!. F. Lahart, of Minneapolis, who
was here for several days returned to
hit home Saturday evening. He was
hi re i'm interest of -four and feed
mill with an elevator in connection.
When he came here he made the
proposition to a number of our busi-
ness men that if they would furnish
dne-half of the capital to finance the
enterprise that he would furnish the
other half and he, himself, take act
We charge Of the plant. Our busi-
ness men responded and the neces-
sary amount of money was soon
pledged to secure the mill. The site
for the mill has not as yet been Sc
lected, but will be some where close
to the right of way of the Great
Northern and a spur run into the
mill.
This will he one of the best things
for Malta that could have been Sc
cu,ed as it will not only give the
farmer home market for his grain,
but he will get his -four at a third
less cost, than he now pays for it.
Mill feed will be reduced to abou,
one dollar per hundred. Then, in
securing this enterprise for Malta, il
will possibly be years before there is
another mill started in any of the
neighboring towns and thus we will
: draw trade from all points.
Mr.. Lahart expects to return te
this city early in June when the
balance of the necessary arrange
ments will be completed and work
started on the building. 1t is tn,
intention of the promoters to have i
done and in shape to handle thi
years crop.

Lovejoy Road Again

In the past few days we have met
a number of the settlers from the
country in the vicinity of the Love-
JOY and they are all very anxious that
the roads out that way be fixed up.
Some of them, however, are not in
favor of the road over the hills, while
others are very enthusiastic about it.
Monday of this week Mr.. Cosner. ac-
companied by the three county COM
missoners and the county surveyor,
went over the proposed road in ma
chimes, going as near as possible the
road that will be established.
We are informed that the road will
run straight north from Malta to the
bench on the other side Of Big Cot
tonwood and that grades that will
have to he built will be comparatively
easy. This will accommodate the
people living on the bench between
the Assinniboine and Big Cotton
wood and those on the bench be-
tween the two Cottonwoods, but
there is no provisions that we know
of for a road farther than that. The
81 Al,o l..,,
have to look out for themselves, that
is they will have to do all the neces-
sary grading in getting across Little
Cottonwood and up the hills on both
sides. From the top of the first bench
10 the top Of the Langdon bench the
land is all taken up and it will be
necessary for the county to secure {
road through there some way.
The Milk river road already estab.
lished will have to be kept up JUS
the same and one Of the county com
missioners informed us that the
county was buying large grader ano
steam roller with which to put the
various county roads in shape. |
would seem at this time if the peopl,
of Malta wants road straight nortl
from town that they should secure i
now, as the cost of road would b,
very small compared with what i
will be when the land is all take,
up and fenced.
There will be a meeting of th,
citizens of Malta and the people O
the north country at Loveioy mex
Sunday, providing the roads are il
condition to permit of the trip bein.
made in machines, and it is expected
that there will be a large number il
attendance. At this meeting every
one will be given chance to expires
themselves on the road question, an,
it is hoped that they will avail them
selves of the opportunity. After tin
road question is finally settled it i
to he hoped that all interested will
rest in an atmosphere of contentment
