democratic Rally Monday Night At
Arcade Draws Five Hundred People
To Haii-Dr. Donohue Makes Fine
Address.

Almost rivaling in point of numbers
and exceeding in enthusiasm the pre-
ceeding demonstrations, was the big
Democratic rally held at the Arcade
Opera House, Monday night, at which
all the candidates on the county ticket
spoke in favor of their candidacy.
c. A. Thurston presided and pre-
sented the speakers. Desmond J..
O'Neil delivered fine address, as did
Miss Reed. Bryle Chappell, Leonard
Guy and E. L. McClatchie. The others
spoke briefly and asked for the sup
port of the voters on the strength of
their records in the county and their
qualifications for the Office they sought.
DR.. Dan J. Donohue made much ap-
plauded and characteristic speech, in
which he explained the Butte situation
and told some truths about a local
matter that his hearers will not soon
forget.
Dan L. O'Hern was the speaker of
the evening and delivered a master
full address. He spoke strongly in de-
fence of congressman Evans and
Stout and gave his hearers plausible
reasons why DIR. Donohue should be
elected state senator.

LOST HUNTER NOT VET FOUND

Up to the time Of going to press, no
word has been received that the body
Of ]. D. Craycraft of this city, who was
lost in the vicinity Of Red Canyon on
October 4th, had been recovered.
Officer Sam Austin who interviewed
the two sons of. Mr.. Craycraft, who
have been securing the hills in search
of their father, tells us that they have
about given up their long search. The
boys came into town last week stating
that on account of the severe snow
storm that followed their fathers dis
appearance, little hope is held out for
the recovery of the body until next
spring, unless 1t Is accidentally dis
covered by some hunter or by the game
wardens who will continue the search
as long as the weather permits.

WILL NOT INTERFERE
Cotton Shipments to Germany and
Austria Will Not be stopped-This
Also Applies to Wool, Sheep
And Grain

Washington, Oct. 27,- American
shippers can send cotton to Germany
and Austria without interference by
England.
Arrangements are being made be.
tween various neutral countries in Eu-
rope providing against the re-exporta>-
ton of conditional contraband to bel.
ligerent countries.
Commerce between neutral coun-
tries will not be hindered in the least
by Great Britain so long at least as
cargoes are specifically consigned.
American shippers will be supported
in their claims against belligerents if
American cargoes are lost when car
ried in belligerent bottoms.
These are the chief principles of the
shipping situation which the state de-
partment has worked out in diplomatic
negotiations with Great Britain whose
cruisers are in practical control of
transatlantic commerce.
Baron Won Schoen, attache of the
German embassy, was formally ap-
prised by Acting Secretary Lansing of
the state department of Great Britians
attitude toward cotton shipments,
namely, that they were not contra
band and would not be. declared, as
such ships were available now, a great
opportunity could be seized to trans
port cotton to many nations which
want it.

HON II HAPPENED

The following explanation of How
it Happened, clipped from the James
town, N. D., Daily Alert, no doubt will
be appreciated by our readers, and we
reprint it herewith in full:
when the political battle smoke
clears away, there is always consid-
cradle speculation as to who is to
blame, etc. But as Democrat. am
sure that the real trouble is that the
Lord has made too many Republi-
cans and thus quite often the pre-
sumptuous inquiry suggests itself,
"Why is this" AS well might we
ask, "Why are mosquitoes and flies
and snakes and mice and ten thou
sand other ills?" It is useless to mar
vel. Let us be happy that it is not
worse.
Personally, did not expect to be
elected. am very much in the con-
dition Of the young colored man at q
revival meeting, who was farther OF
on his scripture than on his philos-
ophy, who said, Blessed am he who
expecteth nuffiing, TO- he shall sho not
be disappointed" And / beg to
thank my friends for their courteous
support. M. C. FREERKS.

MARQUIS WHEAT PROVES
A GOOD PRODUCER

With the introduction of any new
grain into community there is always
more or less skepticism in regard to
its yielding ability. Under such con-
ditions Marquis wheat was tried out
in eastern Montana the past season.
There were many who thought it q
very high priced grain, and without
any advantage over any of the other
spring wheats.
However, under the most trying OF
seasonal conditions that have existed
in eastern Montana for number of
years, Marquis wheat has lived up to
it's reputation and withstood adverse
growing conditions splendidly. The
writer has talked with number of
growers, and in every case where given
an equal chance with other spring
wheats it has maintained it's superior
yielding powers.
Data gathered from every section
of Wibaux county show that it has
outyielded other spring grains from
to bushels per acre. Not only this,
but the quality of this grain has been
superior in nearly every case. AT the
elevator it has received No. / grade,
which Is the exception rather than the
rule for spring wheat this year.
On one farm four miles west of Den
mis-, where the same cultural methods
were used as on adjoining fields and
seeded at the same time, Marquis pro-
duced 24.3 bushels per acre and Blue
stem II bushels. Again, it has prov
ed to be from five to seven days earli-
er, which means considerable differ
ence in the quality of grain during
dry season. The fact that it has a
closely adhering hull prevents any
undue shelling loss in handling.
It will pay the man who has Marquis
wheat to clean and grade it for his
own use or to sell for seed wheat.
No doubt there will be a large demand
for this wheat next spring. ]. C.

ty.

Death Follows Runaway Accident
A peculiar phase of the matter was
the fact that on the previous day when
Metz and Erdman were driving a span
of mules, the team ran away, and
Erdman's collar bone was broken. Mr..
Metz was heard to remark that he
thought both Of them were lucky not
to have been killed, little thinking
that on the following day he was to
meet just that fate.
The body was brought to Glendive in
Billy Hayden's car, after he was noti-
fed by Andrew Larson who was in the
neighborhood at the time of the &C.
cident. The body was prepared for
burial at Lowe Brothers undertaking
parlors, and shipped on Sunday to La
Crosse, Wis.,, for interment. The
two daughters of the deceased, Mrs.
George Void and Mrs. Zine, both resi-
dents of the Bloomfield country ac-
companied the body to the Wisconsin

of the death and will probably make
the trip east to be in time for the
funeral.

LATE POLITICAL NOTES

Late telegraphic reports from Butte
show that Sheriff Henderson was the
only republican elected to Office in
Silver Bow county. The socialists lost
ground over the entire county; woman
suffrage failed to carry; and the entire
state Democratic ticket went through
with big lead.
Einar Rivenes of the Toggery, is
still confined to his bed with the
rheumatism, but outside of that is as
clipper as a lark, keeping in just as
close touch with political and other
matters as the handy phone will allow
him.
No doubt by this time politicians all
over the country are wondering how
they, came to guess SO poorly.
A telephone message received this
morning from publisher Johns Of the
Fairview Times advised us of the elec-
ti0n Of five Democratic candidates for
county Offices in Richland county, as
follows: Representative. r. NJ. Lord:
four-year term commissioner, Frank
Hardy; two-year term commissioner.
o. H. Kronkright; Sheriff, George
w. Arkle: and Assessor, John ]. Carey.
Up to that time, no official word had
been received In Fairview as to even
the probable fate of any of the initia-
tive or referendum measures.
In justice to the Democratic can
didates, 1t must be stated that the
dirty mud-slinging tactics of two men
who were not running for any office,
and whose TRADE of abuse was direct
ed against certain official, was not
INDUCED in with the sanction of any
man on the Democratic ticket. Had
they known of the attacks being made
they would have called the men off,
for it only lost votes for their man.
At any rate the Democratic County
Central Committee was fortunate that
it did not get the band on Monday
night, thereby saving sixty good dol
lars. It is to be regretted, however,
that the republicans had to get the
band the way they did.

A most unusual automobile accident,
resulting in the death of one man and
not injuring the three other occupants
of the car in any way, although one
man had a newly-set collar bone, was
that which occurred about five o'clock
last Thursday afternoon, October
29th, when the 7-passenger Oldsmobile
owned and driven by Fred Hise of
Bloomfield turned turtle and before
righting itself again broke the neck
of the occupant of the front seat, Jack
Metz, an elderly homesteader of Pas
ture Creek, who was accompanying
the party.
Men Thrown Thirty Feet
The accident happened within half
IA mile of the home of Fred Hise, by
the steering gear becoming uncoupled.
The front wheels buckled and the car
turned completely over on it's side,
throwing Mr. Metz under the heavy
body and throwing two of the occu-
pants, Homer Dawson and Ernest
Erdman about thirty feet to the side.
Fred Hise, who was driving the car,
stuck to his seat, being held in by the
steering wheel, and was not hurt ex-
cept for slight abrasion of the scalp
and a grazed knee. Homer Dawson
sustained slightly sprained ankle, and
Ernest Erdman, who was being taken
home after having his broken collar
bone set by the doctor, did not sustain
injury of any kind, his body evidently
being protected by the heavy band
ages holding his broken collar bone in
place.
After the car righted itself and the
frightened men picked themselves up,
it was discovered that Mr.. Metz's
neck was broken, his death being
instantaneous.
Mr.. Hise claims that he was not 60
