Motion Pictures at the Exposition.

The Montana Exposition Commits
sion has placed with the Montana Ex-
position Motion Picture Company of
Butte contract for taking the motion
pictures to be shown at the Panama
Pacific Exposition in the Montana
building, every day during the expo
sition.
The motion picture plan of exploit
alton has been adopted by practically
all of the states exhibiting at the ex-
position, and Montana should have a
display second to none. y 1t is intend
ed to show in these pictures the re-
sources and industries of Montana,
together with the historic and scenic
points, the school system, and what
ever else might be of interest to the
prospective settler.
The motion picture company now
has it's camera men in the field, and
any community or enterprise desiring
to be shown should promptly COM
municate with the company at Butte,
or with the Exposition Commission.
The agricultural sections in particular
should act promptly, as pictures
should be secured now while the crops
are at their best

company has 1000 acres in crop and
prospects are bright for an excellent
return.

ts enforced i'm this district is proven
hg the arrest Of Les Nelson down in

s.1;.-uh Nth caught him shooting grouse

.'}.sxge of the man and brought him to

isny- Justice Fischer. The evidence
yp1aat2uced at the trial showed that Mel
spn worked for Henry Evers as man
sa@4s..r of his sheep camps, and had re-
,tsNtly bought 20 rifle and 1000

Battle.

Sam Allen, prominent Paradise
Valley rancller, was fatally shot and
his hired man was killed at County
Attorney Ward Smiths summer cabin

Finding the cabin used by robbers
for stolen goods Sheriff killorn and a
posse of farmers stayed there to catch
the thieves. The county attorney and
a party drove to the cabin and the
sheriff's force, not recognizing them,
shot into the party, causing the lat

Attractions at the Fair.

The Valley County Fair at Glas-
gov will this year furnish more
attractions in the amusement de-
partment than ever before offered.
Aside from the big racing program
and band concert each afternoon
the Association has contracted for
Professor O'Dare. the worlds most
daring mronaut, Purcell, the slack
wire king, and master Buckingham,
the champion Juvenile juggler. All
these attractions will be presented
each afternoon at the fair grounds
opposite the grand stand.
The racing program is sure to prove
intensely interesting for those in at
tendance owing to all competitors
being residents Of Valley county. No
one but bona tide residents and horses
owned in the county will be permitted
to enter any race.
Of special interest will be the ladies'
relay race, two miles each day, for
there are many of the fair sex in the
county known to be expert riders, and
these are all expected to enter. The
two prizes for this race-a $50 saddle
and $40 bridle-are of sufficient
value to attract wide competition in
this race.
There are six races each day, con-
sisting of boys pony race, boys relay
race, free-for-all running race, OK
team race, mule team race, farm team
race, motorcycle and auto races. Many
entries have, been received for all
these races, many more are expected
to enter, SO that each will have per-
sonal interest for nearly everyone at
the fair, for some friend will be racing
in every event.
Purcell, the slack wire king, will
perform some wonderful new balanc-
ing stunts every afternoon on wire
mounted high in the air. He has the
reputation for doing more daring bal
ancing than any other man now APP
pearing in public. This is the first
time he has ever been off the "big
time" circuit and was secured for this
occasion by special arrangement with
the Theatre Booking Co., of Omaha.
Master Buckingham. the juvenile
juggler, will furnish delightful en-
upon a specially-erected
platform 2OX4O feet built for his use
the grand stand. He uses all
straight line work OF famous jugglers,
and has added many novel and ANUS
ing features of his own. His work
commands high praise from all who
have witnessed his clever act, and he
is booked for straight year following
his appearance here. 1t required
special effort and guarantee from the
Fair Association to secure this big
attraction owing to the
great demand ON the eastern circuit
for him.
Professor O'Dare, known the world
over as the greatest and most daring
aeronaut, makes a thrilling ascension
of 5000 feet in his big balloon. When
up among the clouds he releases the
making his daring DEATH
defying drop, hanging by his teeth.
Professor O'Dare is the only aeronaut
now riding balloon who attempts
this remarkable feat. He will make !
an ascension every afternoon from
the fair grounds for the entertainment !
of the thousands of visitors in attend !!
ance.
Valley County Fair patrons are to
be congratulated as the entertainment |
features are of a class far superior to
any attractions ever before offered.

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT OLMITZ

Word was phOned to Sheriff
Brown here Tuesday that DR.. At
KIN had shot and seriously wound
ed Albert Weigel at Olmitz, and
Deputy SheriffS Watt O'Connell
and Ed Brown were at once sent
to the place to put Atkin under ar
rest and he was brought here and
lodged in the county Jail. Weigel
was shot in the calf of the leg
with a 22-rifle and not seriously
injured, but it is claimed he was
tired at several times. DR.. Atkin
claims that he was shooting at
birds for a target and that he did
not intend to hit Weigel, and it
may be that the affair will be ar
raigned out of court and no pro-
SecutiOn will follow. 1t is said that
the affair was the result of a fam
lily affair and that both men had
been drinking. Weigel has been
in trouble before.

Every Person Interested Farming The And 10th
STILL IN THE RING.

Although the results of the cleo
ton on Tuesday so far show that
the Democrat man was defeated
for a second term as County
Printer, yet he has the satisfaction
OF knowing that his campaign was
absolutely clean in every way, and
there is not a single instance of
which he has cause to regret or
to be ashamed, and while he re-
ceived a mighty black eye in some
precincts where he had cause to
believe he should receive SubStan-
tial majOritieS, yet the sore spots
on his person are conspicuous by
their absence, for the Democrat
man believes in the principles of
Democracy, and one of the main
points of this is that the people
shall rule, and undoubtedly the
man who was the one the people
thought best was selected. The
Democrat man sincerely appreci-
ateS the finevO received from the
people of Great Bend, the Repub-
lican stronghold of the county.
Two years ago the Republican
candidate received a majority of
S2S in this city, but that number
was reduced to 120 on Tuesday,
and this vote was especially ap-
preciated from the fact that il was
practically unsolicited, as not over
three hours in all was devoted to
campaigning the people of Great
Bend. There's a whole lot of sat
isfactiOn in receiving a nice vote
from the people where you are
well known. and especially where
the great majority is of a different
political faith.

ELECTION IN BARTON.
Republicans Make Gains-Take
Two More County Offices.

Tuesday was an ideal day for
an election and a large vote was
polled, but not nearly as large as
was expected, considering that the
weather man could not have dish
ed upa finer day for the people to
get out and express their opinion.
Very few of the townships pOlled
anything like their full vote, and
in Great Bend and HoiSingtOn in
each place about two hundred
less people voted than were regis
tered for the election. A gOodly
per cent of the votes cast in both
this city and Hoisington were
from the women and there was
also a good woman vote in the
most of the country precincts.
Over $50 women voted in Ellin-
wood and Lakin township.
The election was one OF sur
priSeS to the leaders of all parties.
1t had been estimated that Muir
dock and Allen would poll a much
larger vote than Curtis and Cap
per in this county, but the result
was the reverse. The vote of Bill
lard for governor, was also a sur
prise, as it had been estimated that
he would not poll over 500 votes
at the most, but his total vote for
the county was 77S. The county
ticket was full of surprises. 1t
had been estimated that Brown
would be reelected as sheriff by
a good majority, but not even his
most optimistic friends expected
a majority of 1887. 1t bad also
been expected by the leaders of
bOth-partieS that Yeo, Kellam and
YOunkin would have close races
for their jobs, but each went in
with big majoritieS. Even Russell
believed he was defeated in his
race for reelection as county at
torney, but the return of the votes
showed he had over 100 majori-
ty. The Republicans made gain
in the county of two offices by
the election of w. L. Bowersox
over Matte Fruit for county Su-
perintendent, and of TownSley
over McMullen for county printer.

unofficial results:
