OVANDO IS SHOCKED
BY RIOTOUS SCENES
Feud Between Factions in the Upper Blackoot Valley Re
suits in a Melee Which Is Depored by the
Worthy People of That Region.

Editor Missoulian-In support of our
contention that the Big Blackfoot VAL
ley is about the warmest spot on the
map, we wish to say that we. were
treated to an ocular demonstration Of
one of the warmest occasions on
Saturday evening, the 7th, in Ovando,
that it has been our privilege to wit
ness for some time. There was
masked ball in town and up to about
midnight, "all went merry as a mar
riage BELL But. hark! of a sudden
one Of our sons of Erin feeling the
near approach of the birthday of his
patron saint began to paw and bel
low and give forth challenges to all
the descendants of King Oscars sub
jects. The climax finally came and
when your correspondent reached the
scene of the fray some 10 men were In
dulging in the administration of black
eyes and other bruised protuberances
to each other in a strictly rough and
tumble fashion. The rules were all
suspended, and after Is or 20 minutes
of fighting, a most beautiful assort-

hearts of the various contestants ap-
peared on the scene and with their
screams vent the calm, sweet midnight
atmosphere. Not being room in the
barroom for such a three ring circus
the street was used as we'll. Your cor
respondent refrainS from mentioning
the names of those who took part in
this public braWl, and 1t is with sorrow
that we report the matter at all. but
the fact is there has been bad
blood" existing between certain fac
tions for some time and we feel that
the time has arrived when such dis
graceful occurrences as that which
took place on Saturday night should
be and must be stopped. Men prom
inent in our midst as was the case on
this occasion are setting an example
for our youth, both their own and 9TH
ers, which can only drag down our
standard of morality and good citizen
ship. Before murder is committed il
Is well to stop and consider not a little.
We hope the better nature of these
men will prevail and that it will not
be possible to repeat this most dis
graceful affair. c. A. JAKWAYS.

CHICKENS ARE GONE
AND HOUSE
BURNED
EARLY MORNING FIRE AFFORDS
A MYSTERY THAT PUZZLES
HAMILTON FOLKS.

Hamilton, March 11.--(Special) ,
The fire department was called out
shortly before 3 o'clock this morning
by a fire in the woodshed and chicken
house in the rear of the wooden struc-
ture on Main street, between Seventh
and Eighth streets, owned by l.. A.
Foye and occupied by the families of
Gust Stark and Fred Shrogren. The
building, an inexpensive one, was COM
pletely destroyed, while the cable of
the Bell Telephone company, which
passed directly above the building, was
badly damaged. So far as the author
tiles are concerned the origin of the
fire is complete mystery, although a
woman next door to the place was able
this morning to throw little light on
the matter oile declared that the
chickens in the shed made a great fuss
a half hour before the fire broke out
No traces OF chickens We're found by
the fire chief during the fire, accord

The woman mentioned is of the opin-
ion that someone raided the hen roost
and then fired the building, either

Stevensville, March 11.-(Special)-
The Stevensville Poultry association
held an important meeting last night,
when the system of judging the state
show which is to be held here in Jan

upon. Last night the association went
on record favoring the score card sys-

At recent meeting of the associa-

ed, with the understanding that it
would be acceptable to the state board.
A communication was read from Sec
retary Dorch, and when written he had
heard from every member of the board
with the exception of Roy Wilbur of
Missoula, and all favored the score
card system. 1t was then that the local
association reversed it's decision.
1t was decided at the meeting to have
committee represent the association
before the county commissioners of Ra-
valli county in an effort to secure fl
nancial aid for the show, and matters
pertaining to the advance advertising

CUTTING OUTSIDE
TOMATO GROWTHS.

Keep on nppinS outside growths. but
let the main stem grow until 1t reaches
the top OF the pole. Then its progress
can be checked by p.nchins OF the term-
nal bud. which WI also threw the
strength OF the plant into the production
OF fruit The blossoms VIII probab have
appeared before this at several points
along the stem. Although this may seem

with one crop, II will prove wholly justi-
fable IN causing an increased production
over longer season of a much higher
quality vegetable The method can. OF
course be modified TO the extent of let
ting two or even three main stems de-
velop each TO be kept free of side shoots
as described above.
In addition to tomato plants, early cell
cry. eggplant and peppers may be set out
between now and the end of the month.
Should fugitive cold spell occur the
plants could be wrapped in or covered
with newspaper over night. In all proba-
bility. however, he real growing season
has arrived ard even the tenderest OF
plants may be set out and the Sc, DIS OF
the tender sorts sown. Among the lat
ter may be counted lima beans, melons,
cucumbers and okra, the latter some

one well worthy trial in every gar
den. In growth il is somewhat like the
pepper or eggplant but the stem is taller
and more robust and the blossoms strik-
ingly beautiful. would almost as soon
grow the plant among the ornamentals
as in the vegetable garden. for the large
white and pink mallow-like flowers are
certainly as effective as the single molly
hook and considerably more so than those
of their distant cousin. lavatera The
plants should stand not less than eigh-
teen inches apart. and receive about the
same care as beans. The edible parts are

must be picked while they are young and

THE LAWN THAT

case. have your lawn mower fitted with

Tedious lawn raking after every moving

the middle Of January the populace
became greatly excited over a report
that an apparition of St Agatha had

SUCCESSION PAINTINGS OF
VARIOUS VEGETABLES.

Succession paintings should now be
made of beets. carrots, beans. peas. corn,
radishes, and, if your soil is moist and
rich in humus, lettuce. Otherwise 1 would
advise planting lettuce for summer use
only in hotbed or cold frame. Don't
think for a moment that because the
warmth renders the use of the glass I'M
necessary that the usefulness of the hot
bed is past. Equip it with sashes mace
of wooden frames covered with cheap,
uni leached muslin. cheesecloth. or any
such material. and YOU have a seed bed
that can keep busy throughout the hot
test weather. Not only does the cloth
protect tender seedlings from the beat

evaporation so that the soil can be kept
