things are done.
Glasgow News: Valley county farm
ers having any quantity of durum wheat
to sell could rejoice in the opportunities
for selling it this week, as there was a
high quotation extended by the loclal
buyers. The price this morning was
$1.0S for durum No. l, while the same
species of wheat down as low as the
rejected" brand was bringing as high
as 81 cents.
Havre Plaindealer: Havre now has
its second gas we'll. and the flow on
the west side is even greater than that
encountered in the we'll at the fair
grounds. The new we'll is down about
1850 feet, and at this point the vein
was encountered. A confined pressure
of nearly six hundred pounds is shown
at this we'll, while at the first we'll the
pressure is only about five hundred
pounds. The product is high grade
one, being absolutely dry and we'll
adapted for commercial purposes.
Glasgow Courier: Claim-jumping
which has become a popular pastime
with the nearing of the date when the
squatters can file, led to a near TRACE
dy southeast of Glentana. Joe Warner,
a carpenter who has been working in
the North Country for some time, de-
cided that George Stowell was not liv-
ing on his land as conscientiously as
a squatter should so he proceeded to
, jump the claim. Stowell is an old
! sheepherder and when he heard the
J news he rode over to the place with
his trusty 5000 to eject the intruder.

Charles Battles from st. Paul several
: weeks ago with considerable anxiety
i The cattle recently developed some
affliction that caused anxiety and sus
picion that they might be developing
the dread foot and mouth disease. The
trouble has not been so pronounced
as yet however by the veterinarians
and the cattle seem to be recovering
rapidly. The inspectors have not def
nitely decided what the trouble is, al
though it is thought that it may be
caused by fox-tail in the hay.
Choteau Montanan: d. F. Mains
and other prominent residents of the
Waller country arrived in Choteau early
this morning having petition in their
possession which they intended to file
with the county clerk looking to the
creation of Waller county, out of a
portion of the northern part of Teton
After having ascertained that Waller
had been given the double-cross b!
! Conrad, and that Conrad had already
presented petition for the creation
of a new county taking in certain
part of the territory desired by Valie,
in their new county scheme. Mr.. Mains
decided that it would be useless to file
his petition, and took it back home
with him. All of which probably means
that a merry war is now on between
Waller and Conrad, and the people OF
Choteau can sit back peacefully and
watch the combat
