A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchannes

| A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
! Northern Montana Exchanges
Malta Enterprises: Charles Christy
/ is probably the champion tomato
grower of this part of Montana. From
seventy-two vines he marketed over
$40 worth of these vegetables this
season, which is a record hard to
beat.
Glasgow News: Although the sher-
ifs Office of Valley county has exert
ed itself aggressively in efforts to ap-
prehend Ole Howe, who held up Jaier
w. A. Baynham two weeks ago and es-
capped from the Jail in this city, no
word of the fugitive's probable where
abouts is said to have been secured
by the officers.
Conrad Observer: In the window
of the Office of the Conrad Land and
Water company, in this city, is a mag
nificent display of the results of the
fiber which has been manufactured at
the Flax Fiber mill here. The fiber
has been manufactured into twine of
several thickness, and all are first
class samples. The display is one of
interest to everyone in this section.
and is the cause of much comment.
Havre Promoter: Lester Anderson,
boy sixteen years of age, is in the
county Jail and VIM. Morton, a black
smith. is at liberty on a thousand dol
lar bail, as result OF charge of ar
son being filed against them. The
fire that it is alleged that they start
ed occurred last Thursday night at
about six o'clock in the morning in a
blacksmith shop at the rear of the
Hulfish general store in East Havre.
The fire was put out by the fire de-
partment only after considerable dam
age had been done to the building.
Havre Democrat: Sergeants Ash
and Eland with two of their privates
arrived in the city last evening with
Bill ireland, noted Canadian horse
thief, whom they captured after a
chase of one hundred and fifty miles
over the country, about twenty miles
north of this city. ireland, who was
recently released from the peniten-
tiary, stole horse and saddle and
was attempting to get out of the
country when the officers took his
trail. During the chase ireland stole
the second horse as the mount he was
riding was playing out.
Chinook Opinion: A movement is
under way here to send a general Pc
tition to the secretary of the interior
from the Milk river valley, asking
that the reclamation service release
their claim on the waters of the trib-
utary streams of Milk river in this
section of the state so that the humid
reds of settlers who have desert
and reservoir sites along those side
streams may receive title to their
lands and to their reservoirs. This
is long standing grievance that has
worked lardsllips on great number
of people for many long years.
Chinook Opinion: The authorities
have two men in the county jail who
are thought to be the men who pulled
off a couple of burglaries at Harlem
recently. The men were arrested at
Kalispell and Deputy Sheriff Fred
Gaines and Constable Mike Buckley
of Harlem, went up to Kalispell and
returned with the prisoners Sunday
night. The men are suspected of hav-
ing broken into the Ellis Hardware
store and also into the Burton Jewel
ry establishment. The two robberies
took place on consecutive nights. The
two men are supposed to have robbed
Cowan's harness shop and to have
attempted to get into the Harlem
Mercantile company's store.
