ROMANCE
BUSTED"

Ambrose, N. D., July 29.:-Another
of the romances of Lemuef Haynes
has been bursted- Haynes has the
distinction of being the original and
only negro homesteader in this part
OF the state. Twice before, by ad.
vertising, he secured a wife, but tir.
ing OF the lack of co%mpanionship OF
their W race, they followed each
other back TO localities where people
with more pigment in. their skin re
sided. Last spring Haynes essayed
a third time to secure a mate and
vas successful. He advertised in a
paper %patrolized by colOred people
and secured an answer from Emily
Grant Of Butte, Mont. She came here
and they were married. Three
months Of domestic bliss was sutii-
cient for Emily and she has followed
the other two back to the cities and
Lemuel mourns. ~

MAY QUARANTINE
MONTANA HORSES

~
Glenlive, Mont, July 29.-Fearing
a government quarantine against
Montana horses on account of the
prevalence of dourine in this state,
the live stock sanitary Board has
adopted resolutions prohibiting the
running at large of stations in d GER
tain described area, and ordering the
gathering Of all stations in that area
not later than August LIST.
Instructions to the inspectors are
to the effect that all horses that have
been blood tested and examined must
be branded by the inspector with a
serial number. All stations proven
to have dourine. but which the owner
wishes to use as work horses. must
be branded on the left jaw with the
letter ID"
The regulations are the most dras-
tic ever enforced in the state, for it
IS recognized that if this fight against
dourine is not successful and the gov
.erlnent puts a quarantine on Mon
tana l%lorses~it will greatly cripple the
horse raising industry in this state
for several years.
