The American horse is now in great
demand for the warning nations Of
Europe, agents are active in most
every state buying serviceable animals
to fill up the decimated ranks of the
thousands which have been laid low

now going to perform the services fol
foreign countries which he has sc

CURED at the family residence at
sos o clock am, on Sunday morning,

the north side where he d id lucrative
business manufacturing cigars, his
wife and two children joining him
several months later
AS Mr.. Caselberg was an active
man he was not content to remain
long jim the cigar business, but at
once launched into the rest urant
business and opened up the Bon
Tom Cafe, carrying on the bust
ness at that place until he assumed
the management of the Malta hotel.
He made extensive improvements in
that hostelry, and was known to be
one of the best hotel men in north
eastern Montana.
Before coming to Malta he served
as Mayor and postmaster at Grand
Rapids, Minn.. the place rapidly inn
, proving under his administration.
Mr.. Caselberg was identified with
every improvement for the public
good, and was ever interested ir
anything pertaining to the welfare OF
S our growing town. He served on the
4 Board of Abdomen several years, an(
) was afterwards unanimously chose1
n Mayor, and had acted in that capacity
Z various terms with untiring zeal ant

TRACK MEN RESPONDED.

Coach Bleamaster, of the college,
issued a call for track men last Mon
day, and the turn out was even better
than his expectations. All of the old
men are back this year with the ex-
ception Of Edgerton and Misner, who
will be greatly missed in their events,
the weights, but new men will make
up the deficiency. "Ole" Anderson
and "Eph" Johnson are working the
weights, Patterson and Friedman the
sprints, with Chisholm still on the
job. Harry Schultz and Carol Hyde
are working the hurdles, Spinney the
pole vault, II. Jackson the broad, and
Nj. Jackson the high jump, while Will
son and Cook are in the distance
events. Several records will be
broken this year. including the half
mile by Cook and the pole vault by
Spinney. That Harry Schultz will
win the low hurdles is admitted and
Ralph Chisholm will continue his
speedy sprinting and make them all
hustle. Bleamaster has several new
men whom he intends to break in,
among them he will try Cresswell in
the distance runs and the high hur-
dies.
