BigDitch Machine
is Moving Rapidly
Work on Water System is
Going at a Good
Pace

Those about town who de-
clared that they would not
believe Cut Bank would have a
water works system until they
saw the dirt fly ought to be
convinced by this time. But
the dirt does not fly today as it
did in the olden days. Paddy
and his pick are in the discard.
Where twenty-five or thirty
men might be employed in
digging trenches after the old
way of doing it, a circular digg-
er operated by steam power
chaws into the earth to a depth
of about seven feet, cutting out
a clean, smooth ditch, elevating
the dirt and dumping it into a
carrier, which neatly piles it
alongside the ditch.
Work on the system will be
pushed with great vigor now
Work on the tower, the engine
house and ditching and pipe
laying will afford employment
for quite a few men, even
though modern mechanism does
play a big part. The Green
company desire to have the
work completed before the
period when inclement weather
may be expected and will waste
no time from henceforth.

Public Work

Material for the Cut Bank
river bridge is arriving and it is
probable that actual conStruc-
ton work will soon commence.
This bridge must be completed
in a month or 6 weeks and a
large crew of men will no doubt
be put to work on it. The
bridge is to cost about 100000
and a considerable portion of
this will be paid out to labor.
Cut Bank ought to and doubt
less be benefited considerably
this autumn through the money
expended in the constructor of
this bridge and the water works
system,

Allison Machine j
Blown Up by In
surgents, Tuesday
Boss Bud and Sly Steve
are Latest Political
Lame Ducks

No more perplexing is that
old Interrogation who put the
molasses in grandpa's boots"
than the question of the hour,
who blew up the Rigney-
Allison political machine Tues
day?"
The Rigney-Allison machine,
which was built with such
painstaking and loving care,
was shattered to shards by a
mine, planted by vengeful and
plotting insurgents, at the Tues
day primaries. Nothing but
scrapiron remains of the well
fabricated and efficient little
steam crusher that Steve and
Bud have been plotting about
this precinct for the last year
or so.
1t appears that there has been
much secret activity in the
camps of the Insurgents or
Young Turks in the last few
weeks. These insurgents never
took kindly to the little steam
crusher. They asserted that
Steve and Bud arrogated to
themselves the complete bos-
sism of local democracy. The
democratic counsels were at.
tended by these political Sia-
mese Twins. They were the
front and rear of the democratic
hosts; the generals and the
soldiers. They annointed them
selves with the sacred oils of
authority, in short they ponti-
ficated and perSonified local
democracy in a sort of Divine
Right of Kings fashion.
But the red revolution came
Tuesday. Out of the seething
caldron of insurgency appeared
new leader around whom the
Insurgents rallied. The new
leader Is E. M. Davis. In the
parlance OF the wrestling game
Davis went to the mat with the
erStwhile mighty Bud and come
out victor. There is a new
democratic organization in Cut
Bank just now and Davis is
proclaimed the new political
leader. Bud and Steve are our
| political lame duckS-all same

SHOT |NIBACK
SERIOUSLY HURT
James Lykens, In The Paris
Hospital, Suffers From
Ugly Wound

James Lyllins, an employe of a con-
struction firm ON the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, was brought to the
Massie Memorial Hospital Wednesday
suffering from a bullet wound in the
back and underwent an operation
Wednesday night.
The details of the shooting are
very meager, and it is not known who
fired the shot. 1t is supposed that it
was an accident, as several men en-
gagged in the construction work near
Shawhan are in the habit of amusing
themselves with target practice and
Lykens received the shot in the back.
The accident occurred about noon
and he was brought to the local hos
pital on the afternoon train. An eX.
animation of his injuries was made,
and his attending physicians were un-
able to determine the extent. We'd

erty performed the operation.

passed entirely through the left kid.

any perforations in the intestines.
A report from the hospital last
night was to the effect that the in
jured man was getting along as well
as could be expected, although his
condition was regarded as serious.
Lykins came here from Virginia.
