HORSE RUSTLER CAUGHT

Louis Leon, who spent the greater
part of last winter in and about Glen
tana, is, according to advices reaching
here, languishing in Jail up in Can
ada, charged with being too handy
with his rope.
Mr.. Leon is a musician of rare
ability and during his stay here last
winter was member of the Glentana
orchestra. He left here in February
or March for visit to the Twin Cities
and shortly thereafter the Sheriff OF
Sheridan county came over to get
him on a warrant charging horse rust
ling. The Sheridan official stated to
the writer at that time that Leon
seemed to have a knack of being few

GOOD WHEAT YIELD

Perhaps the largest yield of wheat
to be threshed in the north country
this year was that of Al H. Schmidt.
who lives four miles east of Glentana
says the Glentana Reporter.
Mr.. Schmidt's wheat was threshed
the first of this week and yielded 46
bushels to the acre. The quality is
excellent, the grain weighing 66 lbs.
to the bushel, machine measure.
Another good yield reported to US
this week is that of Miss Ella Flynn,
of seven miles southwest of here. Miss
Flynn had fourteen acres in wheat
and it yielded 436 bushels. Her oats
made 43O bushels of eleven acres. In
reporting this yield to the Reporter,
Miss Flynn stated that she wanted it
understood she was no longer an or
dinary farmer, but full fledged agri-
culturist.
There has been very little threshing
done in the northlands this week, ow-
ing to damp weather. 1t is expected
that full operations will be resumed
about noon tomorrow. No flax has
been threshed yet in the Glentana
vicinity.

NEW LIVESTOCK VALUATION

A new railroad valuation on live
stock goes into effect October Is OF
this month which is expected will be
of great benefit to all shippers.
When the Cummins law was passed
last winter shippers were under the
impression it provided for an in
creased valuation. However, the in
crease was eliminated before the act
was passed, and then shippers, in
order to protect their interests car
ried special insurance to protect them
against losses in transit
Last spring D. w. Raymond, secre-
tary of the state board of stock com.
missioners, took the matter up with
the American Livestock association
Other shippers joined in and the plea
for an increased valuation became
general. A hearing was held some
weeks ago before the interstate COM
merce commission, resulting in ar
order, effective October Is, making
the following changes:
Valuation of cows killed in transit
increased from $50 to $50 head; o1
steers from $50 to SIS head; o1
horses from $1OO to $3.50 head.
In addition the rate for an increased
valuation was reduced. Formerly ship
pers were required to pay an addi
tional 8 per cent of the freight rat'
for each $50 increase in J.. valuation
This has now been reduced to PEI
cent.

jumps ahead of the officials all the
time, and that he was by no means an
easy man to find when needed.
Leon brought several head of horses
from across the Canadian line into
the Glentana country and sold a few
Of them to local farmers.
He is serving a thirty day sentence
in the Canadian Jail now, and upon
his release up there he will be turned
over to the Sheridan county officials;
provided he dosen't pull one of his
old-time tricks and give them the slip
in the meantime.

RANCHERS MUST POST NOTICE

1t might be we'll for hunters and
ranchers to make note of the law
passed by the last Legislature defining
what is trespass. Many ranchers OBJ
ject to hunters doing any shooting on
their places, on account of the pos
sibility of trampling down growing
things, and also the danger to domes-
tic livestock and chickens and ducks
and the like through careless shoot
ing. Those who do their hunting on
forbidden ground can be prosecuted
criminally and be held liable civilly
for any damage they may do.
However ranchers who object to
people hunting on their places are ex-
pected to put up signs warning the
public against trespassing. The law
of the last legislature on the subject
ought to make the matter clear to all.
1t provides:
"Any person tearing down, break
ing or injuring any fence or other in
closure, for the purpose of entering
upon the land or premises of another
without the consent of the owner OF
occupant; any person who shall build
fire upon the land or premises of an.
other within any inclosure, or who
shall sever from such land or prem
ises any tree, grass or other product
thereof, or shall take therefrom any
thing attached or appurtenant thereto
without the consent of the owner OF
occupant; and any person who shall
hunt upon any inclosed land or prem
ises where there is posted in con
spicuous place sign or warning
reading: mo trespassing allowed OF
these premises without the consen
of the owner, shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor and shall be punishable b,
fine of not less than $40 nor NOR
than $500, or Imprisonment not ex

SALOON RULING IS MADE
One License to Every 500 Inhabit-
ants. Fractions Do Not Count.

Oue LICenSe " Every OVU lHudut'
ants. Fractions Do Not Count.
According to ruling made Tues
day by Attorney General ]. B. Poin
dexter in an opinion to the county
attorney of Toole county, but one
saloon for every 500 population is al
lowed by the Montana law.
So if town has population un-
der 1000 it is entitled to but one
saloon. Formerly fractions counted
and consequently before the law was
amended many towns of less popu-
lation had two refreshment parlors.
Continuing the attorney general
said:
"Your second question said:
"Under sections and of the act
can place having less than 500 in
habitants have licensed saloon by
the following procedure outlined in
these sections?
"You state that you are unable to
reconcile the provisions of section 2
with those of sections and 5. I see
no necessary conflict between these
sections. Section 2 fixes a time after
which licenses shall not be issued in
certain places and under certain con-
ditions. Section exempts from the
operation of the act persons already
in business, or their assignees, ex-
cepting persons coming under section
2. Section has to do with the is
suance of new licenses and provides
for petitions and hearings by the
board of county commissioners All
the parts of this act must be read to-
gether and construed as one law. The
result is that section may be effec-
tive up until the time when prohibi-
ton named in section 2 becomes ef-
fective, after which time persons de-
string licenses under section must
, come within the conditions of section
2.
"Your third question:
"In view of the requirements Of
sections 2, 3, and 5, what discretion
can be exercised in the granting Of
licenses to liquor deaers?
"This may be answered by saying
that until December 81, 1915, the!
have discretion as to the issuance
of any new license or the renewal o
old licenses, after petition has bee1
made, such as they had under the pre-
ceding law. After this date thei
discretion will be controlled by tn
conditions laid down in section q"

appear at the Orpheum theater Mon
day evening, October 18th.
Mr.. McCalley is one of the best
entertainers touring the country to-
day and the fact that he has met

ing but the highest praise for him.
Says the Great Falls Leader of his
recent visit in that city:
"The entertainment given by Char
les Riley McCalley few weeks ago.
under the auspices of the Y. w. c. A.,

ings from James Whitcomb Riley and
other humorous authors, impersona'
tons, violin solos and violin limitations
Mr.. McCalley is one of Americas
foremost laugh-makers, and the fact

LOWER VALUATION URGED
Meeting to Be Held to Secure Relief
For Fort Peck Settlers.


A petition is being circulated in VAL
ley and Sheridan counties and is be-
ing generally signed, to all persons
interested in relieving the present
condition among settlers of the Fort
Peck reservation to meet at Wolf
Point next Monday, October 18th, for
the consideration of a feasible plan to
recommend to the Interior Depart
ment for the relief of settlers on the
reservation lands in so far as their
land payments are concerned and to
further request that the balance of
the unentered land be thrown open to
settlement the same as all other
homestead lands without the average
price attached. The land Office records
clearly prove that settlement of these
lands has been greatly retarded by
the appraised valuation and that it is
almost impossible for settler with
moderate means to take a homestead
on the reservation and fulfill the usual
homestead requirements in addition
to paying the $3.50 to $500 per acre
for The land.
1t is not the intention of the pro-
posed meeting to interfere with the
payments to the Indians, but instead
of demanding the settlers who home
steaded the land, that Congress be
urged to make an appropriation to
cover the appraisement.
The paper being circulated for sig-
natures reads as follows:
We, the undersigned, all being
interested in the early settlement
of the Fort Peck reservation, and
believing that the present method
of disposing of said lands is un-
successful in that the reservation
lands are not being homesteaded,
urge all persons interested in the
settlement of said reservation to
be present at a meeting to be held
in the town of Wolf Point, Mon
tana, on the 18th day of October,
1915, at which time and place it
is proposed to petition the Inter-
ior Department and the Secretary
thereof, to adopt some method for
the disposition of the lands with
in said reservation, other than
the method now in force.
All newspapers in Valley and Sherl-
dan counties are requested to copy
this notice and some person in each
town is urged to circulate the call and
secure as many signatures and prom
ises to attend the meeting as possible

BANK ROBBER is CAUGHT
Sheridan County Fugitive in Wyom-
ing Penitentiary.

Sheridan County Fugitive in Wyom-
ing Penitentiary.
John Johnson, one of the two men
who robbed the Farmers Bank at
Medicine Lake last February in broad
daylight is in the State penitentiary
in Wyoming according to advices re-
ceived from there by Sheriff J. B.
Duggan of Sheridan county.
After making his escape from the
Sheridan county authorities, johnson
got into trouble at Kemmerer, Wyo.,
and was sent to the pen for a short
term, and was identified there by post
cards sent out by Sheriff Duggan.
The robbery at Medicine Lake was
one of the most daring that has oc-
Cured in this part of the state.
About $3.50 Thursday morning,
February 18th, Johnson, lad of i8,
accompanied by a man much older
than himself by the name of Hansen,
walked into the Farmers bank at
Medicine Lake and ordered Cashier
S. c. Faaborg to hold up his hands.
At first the cashier tried to treat the
matter as joke, but soon found out
that the men were in earnest. Hansen
kept the cashier covered while john
son went to the vault and took some
thing like $2,4O0. They bound the
cashier and made out of town toward
the sand hills on two horses they had
hitched across the street from the
bank.
Sheriff Duggan, who happened to
be in Medicine Lake at the time of
the holdup was at once notified and
Immediately gave chase to the rob-
bers. In the meantime, however
they had had time to divide the money
and each went in different direction
Hansen was overtaken by the posse
and wounded and half of the money
was found on his person. He is now
serving a sentence of twenty years
at Deer Lodge.
johnson made his escape and moth
ing was heard of him until the news
came that he had been caught ir
Wyoming.
Extradition papers will be servet
on johnson as soon as his term in tn
Wyoming prison has expired and HI
will be taken to Plentywood to face ;
charge of bank robbery.
At the time of his trial, Hansel
stated that he was mostly to blam
as he proposed the robbery, thinkin,
that Johnson did not have the nerv
to go through with it.
The men seem to have made plan
to rob the bank several days befor
the crime was committed. The gun
were purchased at Bainville about
week before the robbery took plac
and two or three stick-up jobs wer
blamed on the men but nothing wa
ever proven that they committed tn
crimes.

WILL ERECT
NEW BUILDING
Rumble Land & Abstract Co. to
Build Imposing Structure.
PLANS NOW BEING DRAWN
Excavation and Foundation Work Will
Be Done This FALL Building to
Be Three Stories.

Detailed plans and specifications
for the new three story, fire-proof
building to be built by the Rumble
Land & Abstract Co., on the corner
of Fifth street and Second avenue
south are now being prepared by the
architects, Link & Haire, of Helena,
and will be ready within short time
when bids will be received from con-
tractors for the erection of the build
ing.
Bids for the excavation and founda-
ton will be opened on October 30th
and work on this part of the building
will begin Immediately after the
awarding of the contract, so as to
have it completed before the cold
weather begins.
The building as finally decided upon,
will be three stories, full basement,
and 80 feet on Second avenue south.
and extending 1870 feet on Fifth ave-
nue..
Pressed brick will be used in the
construction and it will be made as
nearly fire proof as possible.
In the basement will be space to be
used as storerooms by the stores on
the main floor of the building. The
plans as now arranged provide for a
bowling alley and billiard hall in the
basement and one corner will be oc-
cupied by barber shop.
On the main floor, the plans call
for five store spaces, two facing on
Fifth street, two on Second avenue
and one on the corner. Numerous
local firms have already made ar
rangements to rent space in the new
building, and the prospects of several
other new buildings going up within
the year on adjoining lots will make
Second avenue one of the best busi-
ness streets in the city.
The entrance to the upper floor will
be on Fifth street and the plans call
for the installation of an elevator, for
the use of the occupants.
On the second floor will be offices
and club rooms. Special attention
will be be paid to the constructor OF
this floor and everything will embody
the very latest ideas in architecture
and construction.
The third floor of the building will
contain a mammoth auditorium ane
ball room and it is predicted that fol
comfort and elegance there is nothing
in the state that will surpass it. OF
the ball room will be banquet room
which will fill long felt want.
The building when completed will
cost in the neighborhood of $75,OO'
and will be one of the finest in tn
state

INTEREST in
SUGAR BEETS
Manufacturing Concerns Consid-
ering Putting Factory Here.
GENERAL MEETINGTONIGHT
Members of Commercial Club Will
Discuss Plans of Getting Sugar
Beet Factory Here.


the center of the Milk River Irrigation
project is attracting the attention of
the sugar beet interests and the pros
poets of having factory established
here before long are brighter than
ever.
Letters received by the Commercial
club from different sugar beet con-
Germs show that they are interested in
this part of Montana and two of them
contemplate the erection of factory
in this section of the state.
The Commercial club has been
doing splendid work in getting the
sugar concerns interested here, and
they know practically Glasgow is the
logical location for factory, if one
is to be built.
The tests of the sugar beets raised
in the valley made by the State Agri-
cultural Experiment station were sent
to one of the largest sugar beet con-
Germs, and they became greatly inter-
ested, writing Secretary Moore to
secure other beets for them, in order
that they might make separate test.
The United States Sugar Manu-
facturers association, one of the large
corporations that has been looking
over the field here states that of the
forty thousand acres under irrigation,
at least 1000 acres of land will have
to be planted in beets before a COM
munity can reasonably maintain a
factory.
The success farmers in the valley
have had with sugar beets in years
past should only hasten the erection
of mill here, as next summer the
waters of the Milk river will be avail
able over almost the entire project
and an immense acreage can be put
into sugar beets. Tests have conclu-
sively shown that sugar beets raised
here grade as high as those grown in
any other beet raising district and the
yields received have been remarkable
The erection of beet sugar factory
means a great deal to the future of
Glasgow and if there is any possibility
of having a factory located here this
is the time to go after it.
Tonight, Friday, October 18th, a
general meeting of the Commercial
club will be held in the club rooms tx
take up this matter and every member
should attend to place himself on re
cord as to whether or not he feels th'
club ought to go ahead with the worl
necessary to establish factory here
