A BELLIGERENT EDITOR

Editor Trego in his personal organ
the Blackfoot Republican, last week
attempted to again misinform the
public that we have been excessive
i'll our charges against the county ror
publishing and printing. He knows
as well us does the commissioners
that we are doing the county pull
fishing for one-half of what he has
for years charged, and is now charS-
ing the City of Black t3ot. While the
county is paying US soc for two in
sortions CT a LEGAL nature, the City
of Blackfcot is paying him Sl50
for this same work, and al that he
is not getting more. than tho law
says he is entitled to, and we have
no complaint to make, as we believe
pense for his work. But Treeo is
not built that way. What he cannot
get he will keep all others from
getting and will sacrifice time and
veracity to accomplish his selfish
and nefarious purposes, AID this has
been his policy with all competitors
of the past, and Notwithstanding we
have been fair and generous wit
him we are no exception. Eut if
he is looking for trouble, as he says
he is, he will surely lind it, as all
others have who have sought it.

TAKES IN PARTNER.

Frank Kern, Jr., who has been
owner of the general store at Dun
dee for several months past, has
sold a halt interest in the business
to Frank Meade, of this city, and
the business will henceforth be
conducted under the firm name OF
Kern & Meade. Since taking
charge of the store some months
ago Mr.. Kern has built up a most
excellent business so that three
people are kept busy in the store
about all the time. Mr.. Meade is
an excellent young business man
and the firm will undoubtedly
prove to be a strong one and will
do a nice business. They are
greatly enlarging their stock and
in a short time will have one ol
the best general stocks of mer
chandise to be found in this par
of the country, and will thus bt
enabled to greatly extend theil
trade territory. They are homes

ling the people of the Dundee vi
cinity the best store they hav,
ever had and they are entitled t,
their patronage.

THE ORPHAN CHILDREN.

There was a big crowd of men
and women at the court house Sat-
urday afternoon to see and make
arrangements for the taking of the
fifteen orphan children who were
brought here from the New York
Orphans Home in charge of Miss
Hill. There were enough peo-
pie at the court house wanting
children to take twice as many
as the number brought here, but
on account of the very strict regu-
lations regarding the homes in
which these children must be plac-
ed Miss Hill has not yet found a
home for some of the children,
but some of them have been plac-
ed in the best homes of the coun-
ty, and will probably be ulti-
mately legally adopted by the
parties taking them. No adoption
can legally be made for at least
eighteen months, and during that
time the children are kept track
of by the society, and if at any
time they feel that they are not
receiving the proper treatment in
every way, they will be taken
away and placed in other homes.
The children brought here were
very bright, intelligent appearing
youngsters and well behaved in
every way, and the most of them
will undoubtedly grow into good,
useful men and women.

McQuiIIen, and sister and brother
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Harts-
horn. all of Ford county, came
down Saturday morning.
On advice received from Nor
gan'S mother in California, the
probate court appointed w. E.
Stoke to take charge of the estate
and look after the property inter-
estS. The land which Morgan was
farming belonged to Frank Mer-
ten and John Reinecke, Jr., but
the improvements belonged to
Morgan. He had eight head of
good work mules on the place, a
number of horses and a large
amount of farming machinery,
harness, etc., besides a few hun
dred bushels of wheat which he
had saved for seed. AT the time
of his death he had several hun
dred acres of ground all in shape
for wheat and had intended to
start drilling in a few days.
Although a strict search had
been made by the officers and
later by the administrator of the
estate, none of Mr.. Morgan'S bus
ineSS papers, if he ever kept any,
have been found. 1t was rumor-
ed that he carried an insurance
policy for several thousand dol
lars in an old line company, but
if such is the case the policy can
not be found. He at one time car
ried a policy for two thousand
dollars in the M. w. A. but drop
ped this some years ago.
The crime was one of the most
fiendiSh and cowardly ever per-
petrated in this county and the
people are aroused to a high de-
gree of excitement and nothing is
going to be left undone to try and
discover the murderer. The county
has offered a reward of $500 and
the state three hundred for the
conviction of the slayer and a
strict search will be kept up un.
til something develops or all hope
is lost of ever catching the guilty
parties. The sheriff and county
attorney have been doing all in
their power, but there is very lit.
tie ground on which they can
work and the fact that the crime
was committed two days before
the bodies were found makes their
work just that much harder, but
at that some progress is being
made in the case and the officers
feel that they have some slight
clues which may ultimately lead
to the apprehension of the guilty
parties, and it is surely to be hop
ed that this is the case. Barton
county cannot afford to have such
a crime committed without the
guilty ones being apprehended
and punished.
