HAD PREMoNITI0N OF DEATH
New Jersey Mans Fear OF Coming
Disaster Laughed at by Comrades,
but It Was Verified.

John Hueselmans, superintendent
of lumber yard in Harrison, N. j.,
started home after day of intense
worry through fear of impending dis
aster. His premonition caused several
of the workmen to deride him. John
Bissell of Newark led in the soothing

foot-high pile of heavy timbers Bissell,
who was at work on top, uttered a
warning cry and leaped to the ground.
As he did SO the great bulk OF lumber
swayed and toppled over. Hueselmans
was buried beneath the mass and was
instantly killed. Bissell. by his leap.
avoided the crumbling pile and landed
just beyond the timbers. The fall.
however, resulted in his receiving nu'
merous fractures and he was removed
in a critical condition to St. Michael's
hospital.
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas
sengers, many of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. 1t was
half an hour before Hueselmans'
mangled body was extricated.

HAD SOME WAY TO TRAVEL
Thirsty Man Had Not Thought Of Pos
sibiiities When He Made Con-
tract With Guide.

After North Carolina voted to be a
dry state its citizens became very sus-
picious of strangers.
One day commercial traveller went
up to an old negro in little town IN
the eastern part of the state and said
to him:
"Say, uncle, II you will lead me to
some place where l can get drink
I'll give you g."
The old darby looked him carefully
over, accepted the two plunks, and
said: "All right, boss. just foller me"
He led the thirsty one through the
town, on through the suburbs, into the
country, and then started due west.
After they had traversed about Ave
miles in silence and still nothing In
sight, the man asked:
Look here, Nose! Where are we
going after this drink"

Kalispell.-Five hundred automo-
biles from points within the state
brought delegates to the joint conven-
lions of the Montana Good Roads con-
gress and the State Automobile asso-
citation, which convened here July
Is, for three days.
Advance reports impelled the local
committees to provide for the largest

come within Kalispell's gates. Boost
ing delegations come from Great
Falls, Butte and Helena seeking the
honor of entertaining the conventions
next year.
An early feature of the conventions

ORGANIZE GOPHER LEAGUES
Hill County Seeks to Exterminats
Harmful Rodents to Save
Crops.

Helena. Gopher leagues for the
purpose of DISCRIMINATING the millions
of rodents who have caused thousands
of dollars damage to wheat and barley
fields, are being organized in Hill
county, by farmers and grain grow
ers, and heroic efforts will be resorted
to to exterminate the pests, which 1t is
said are overrunning the country.
George w. Dewar, deputy in the
weights and measure department,
while in Helena declared that myriads
of the little animals simply defy the
efforts of farmers to get rid of them.
In the absence of the pied Piper"
farmers are resorting to poison, target
rifles, water, and every other method
to exterminate the gophers, but still
they multiply and continue to destroy
wheat fields and other growing crops,
Mr.. DeWar says.
/ Some days ago, the farmers of the
entire northern section of Hill county
held a meeting fifteen miles north
of Rudyard, to discuss the situation,
and to adopt some method of killing
off the rodents. The meeting was at
tended by scores of ranchers who
came from long distances to offer sug-
gestions, and the reports OF damage
done were amazing.
1t was at this meeting that deter
minaion was reached to organize
gopher leagues.

Foreman Of Jury Had Claimed They

Counsel for the prisoner looked
hopefully at the faces Of the jurors as

hopefully as the foreman announced
that they had agreed. His client had
enjoyed ample provocation for the as

Lewistown.-The production of the
Yogo sapphire mines at Sapphire, in
the Judith Basin, will be greatly in
creased, according to the information
given out by experts sent over from
England by the New Mines Sapphire
syndicate, owner of the property.
About forty men are employed, but it
is expected to increase this number
to at least 100, and to spend around
$4,000 in improving and extending the
property so that the demand for Mon
tana sapphires may be met
Lewistown is to have two more bust
ness buildings to be completed this
summer. Slater Brothers have had the
plans drawn for four-story brick
building to cost around $4,000, while
John Brooks has let the contract for
two-story building to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
The plans for this building were
drawn so that two more stories nigh
be added later on.

capitalization. is a point which the

corporation are excessive and unrea-
sonable. Profits amounting to $780,

GREAT SAVING TO STATE
Montana Grain Growers to Make Mil

Helena.-An aggregate saving to
Montana grain growers in freight
charges. in getting this seasons crop
to market, Of $1,470,000 will be made,
it is calculated, as the result OF an
agreement reached between the Mon
tana railroad commission and the
railroads operating in the state.
Some time ago the commission
planned to protest formally against
the grain rates to the interstate COM
mission. The railroads asked for a
conference, and because of the reduc-
tions they agreed to make the commits
sion decided to accept them so as to
receive immediate benefits.
An estimate of the yield of the varl'
GUS kinds of grain in Montana this
season is made by the commission

FACE IN ONE SOLID RASH

Lindsay, Mont.-"I started to get
great big blotches round my neck and
l did not think very much about 1t at
first, but they commenced getting
worse all the time and such an intense
itching, it never gave me minutes
rest. The pimples were red and would
swell. From itching. and scratching
them so it caused them to spread;
there would be sores from scratching
them so intensely. My face and neck
were covered with pimples. It looked
as If my whole face was in ono solid
rash or sore, and was nearly crazy
with itching and burning. At night
they would be very bad so hardly
could sleep. My face was, I must
say, in one raw sore. l nearly gave
up all hopes of ever getting like my
self.
II bought one cake Of Cuticura Soap
and one box Of Cuticura Ointment and
started to use them and followed the

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
the condition Of the grain crops IN
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested In lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing Of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made considerable
portion Of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this. wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon'
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation Of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking we'll. although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by q report July
5th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces. followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks. while croI
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi
tional upon reasonable weather fol
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada in 1913

teen years, drawing total Of $4,000
in that time. John Truax of this town
confessed that he had never been en-
titled to the money. He had a pre-
liminary examination before United
Staset commissioner and was bound
over to the federal district court. Be-

Greediness Spells All.
Truax might have gone on drawing
the pension until death had he not
become greedy for more-it was COM
ing so easy. Recently he applied for
an increase, and this necessitated an
examination of the records. 1t was
then discovered that there was a dis
crepancy between the age of the pres
ent John Truax and the man who
had served under that name in the
union army.
The investigation which followed
this discovery disclosed that the orig
inal John Truax died, in Mount Pleas
ant, Iowa, thirty-one years ago and
| was buried there by his comrades Of
the G. A. r. Fifteen years later Johr
! Truax, the present bearer of thai
