MANY new SETTLERS
COMING WEST

The big tract of land north of Chi.
nook was formally opened to entry
and filing yesterday morning. A tre-
mendOus rush for choice selections
took place at the land office. The set
tiers who have been coming out for
the past week to make selections went
to Havre Monday and Tuesday to be
ready to file. A line of couple of
hundred had formed in front of the
land office Tuesday evening, ready to
stay there all night. Some of the
early ones in the line had held their
places since Sunday night. The sec
ton open to entry, however, is a large
one and there will be room for hum
dreds of settlers there yet.
The rush of home seekers into Chi
nook has continued with increasing
numbers every day during the past
week. Every available team has
been pressed into service to handle
the crowds that have been coming.
The locators have gone out every day
with large parties and a majority of
the visitars file on piece of land
after going out. About a hundred
filings were made during the past ten
days and the rush has just started -

SHERIDAN COUNTY
Plentywood Gets the County
Seat.

| The campaign machinery is stilleG
and the mill has ground out a new
county-Sheridan-from the ponder
GUS proportions Of oldValley. County
division carried by q big majority
and there is little question but what
operations in the new county will be-
gin early; so much for the good judg-
ment of the voters and so much for
the pockets of the taxpayers. There
is glory enough in the fact that the
new county has been created, even
though the county seat is apt to 90 to
Plentywood temporarily.
The county seat battle was probably
the warmest ever waged i'm any sec
ton OF the northwest, and the close
finish Of Medicine Lake and Plenty
wood shows the manifest interest in
the two leaders. Culbertson and
Balnville were lost in the shuttle and
are eliminated from the final race at
the next general election. Plenty
wood appears to lead Medicine Lake
by the bare majority of IS votes, and
it is rumored that the margin will
lessen down even more when the final
count has been made.
Officers elected for the new county
of Sheridan were:
State Senator-H. G. Walker, of
Poplar.
Representative, r.. S. Richardson,
of Antelope.
County Commissioners "A .Wein-
rich, Of Mondak, Eli Hansen, of Dag
mar, ii. ID. Loucks, of Redstone.

lope.

Clerk of Court-L. j. Onstad, of
Dagmar.
Clerk and Recorder-Ben Johnson,
of Poplar.
County Attomey-Paul Babcock,
of Culbertson.
Assessor--H. B. Kill, of Mopaak.
Surveyor-Olaf Bergh. of Redstone.
Superintendent of Schools Miss
Irene Murphy, of Enterprise.
Coroner Harry Sparkling, of Medi-
cine Lake.

LAST BIG ROUNDUP

At meeting Of the Commercial
Club last night it was decided to have
a ronsing celebration at Fort Benton
on April 22d, the day upon which the
Northern Montana Roundup assoca-
ton meets. There will be rough rid
ing, field sports, Il barbecue, a big
dance, and other entertainment. The
stockmen believe that this Will be the
last meet of the roundup association.
For that reason they intend to make
it u day that will be long remembered
in Northern Montana. Arrange
nents will be made to run special
trains into Fort Benton to bring peo-
pie from surrounding cities to the

AFTER HORSE THIEVES

The efforts of the state board of
stock commissioners towards eradj-
eating the horse stealing evil in Mon
tana are meeting with success. said
ID. w. Raymond, secretary of the
board, in an interview last evening,
Mr.. Raymond further stated that sew
eral other inspectors have been added
to the present force of Il for the pur-
pose OF cleaning the entire state of
these rustlers.
There are at present ten men await
ing trial throughout the state for
horse stealing; two in Custer county.
three in Dawson, three in Fergus and
two in Hill. These men have been
caught at their nefarious business
and arrested within the past month.
The thefts have been more tlagrant
in and about Fergus county. The
officers OF this county and those of
Blaine uncovered we'll organized
gang OF alleged horse stealers, and
placed behind the bars Harry Asher
and Mark Teeters of Lewistown and
Tom Gilhuly of Harlem.
The method used by the alleged
thieves was to round up the horses in
one county, drive them over into
another county and put them in the
hands Of another band of their accom-
plces to be placed on the market.
The horses would be sold two or thre
hundred miles from where they were
taken.
The reason that these men are being
rounded up now and not before, is
that in former years the board of
stock commissioners have been handi-
capped by q lack Of money. Prior to
two years ago there were but six in
spectors working in the state, a num-
Der altogether insufficient to rightly
take care Of the work. The legisla-
ture two years ago came to the rescue
with an appropriation which enabled
the board to add eight inspectors to
the force. The recent legislature
again voted an appropriation Of S25,-
300 for this purpose, which will still
further aid the work of corralline the
Ninety-nlne convictions of horse
thieves were made by the board
the state last year Thir-
tytive Of this number were given
prison OF Jail sentences. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Raymond that the con-
and imprisonments this year
will far exceed this number. Helena

Topeka, May 24.-The property
of Greek letter fraternities and sor-

ject to taxation.
This is the opinion held by the

assessors in all counties where there
are fraternities have been ordered
to assess fraternity property.
While this action does not neces-
sarily settle the matter, which has
been disturbing the county asses
sors for some time, 1t puts the case
up to the fraternities, and the next
step must come from them. Just
what action they will take is un-
certain.

Retha Bacon against Andrew West
line. All of the parties reside in Els

sert. they were driving along the
road in a buggy. two and half
miles west of Elsmore. Andrew
Westline, real estate dealer OF

pass the machine.
Instead Of stopping, the Bacons
say, Westline sped on at high and
dangerous rate Of speed, exceeding
twenty-five miles per hour in "di-
rect violation Of chapter IS, session

NATIONAL MEETING

THE COMMITTEE rs IN SESSION
Progre9ives Anxious About Their
Political neutrality-suspicious.
Believe They Will Regain
Power.
THE COMMITTEE is IN SESSION

Washington, May 24.-The Re
publican national executive commit
tee which meets here at the call OF
Charles D. Hilles. chairman Of the
national committee primarily will
consider the advisability of calling
an early meeting OF the national
committee to consider plans for
strengthening the party lines pre-
paratory to the next congressional
campaign.
Before determining to call the
national committee together it will
be decided whether the time is ripe
for the beginning of organization
for the future, or whether it might
be better to wait until the present
Democratic administration has pro-
coded farther on its way; until af-
ter the opposition tariff law has
been written into the statutes and
its effect on the country analysed.
Some of the party leaders are
firmly Of the mind that the agita-
ton for a reorganization of the ma
tional convention this coming fall
is premature, and it would be chiefly
to consider the advisability of such
a convention that tho national COM
mittee would meet.
