Old Timer
Passes Away
Thomas Lee Dies After Short illness.
Was Identified With City's Early
Life. Body to Be Sent East.

Another of the piOneerS-thOse
grand old men who blazed the trail
in the western country when the cit
les Of the present were the wilder
nesses of those days-has passed
away.
This time the hand Of death has
gripped the earthly form of one of
the very few surviving settlers who
came to Glendive thirty-two years ago,
when it contained just few scatter
ed log shacks and not many more than
a hundred souls.
At o'clock Monday afternoon
Thomas Lee passed away after an ill
ness of barely three weeks. BY his
bedside at the time when his spirit
took flight, was his beloved wife, Mrs.
Helen Lee; a nephew, Frank Lee Of
Miles City, who was summoned early
IN the day; George Boyle and other
employees; and the Rev. FIR. E. Curran
of the Catholic Church who admin
istered the last sad rites Of the church.
Death was the result OF severe
attack of the Grippe, which Mr.. Lee
had contracted few weeks before,
and the effects of which his consti-
tuition was unable to throw off. He
was unconscious for several hours be-
fore death claimed him.
The body was prepared for burial
at Lowe Brothers Undertaking par
lors, and although final arrangements
have not yet been made, there is no
doubt but that it will be shipped east
for burial, possibly to his old home
town. Cornwall, Ontario.
Deceased is survived by only two
relatives, his wife and brother who
lives in the Canadian town, and who
has been notified of the death. Mr..
d. L. Mcintosh Of Vancouver, B. O.,
a brother of Mrs Lee, has been noti-
fed and he is expected to arrive In
the city on Sunday.
Thomas Lee was in his 63rd year,
having been born on June 14th, 1862,
in Cornwall, Ontario. He came to
Glendive in May of 1882, nearly 80
year ago, and during most OF the time
since has been engaged in the retail
liquor business. Up to 19 years ago
he was in partnership with his broth
er, John, who died on June %, 1896.
the firm being known as Lee Brothers.
Mr.. Lee was married on June 1S,
1894, to Miss Helen Mcintosh of Corn
wall, Ontario, who survives him, no
children having been born OF the
union.
Mr.. Lee was a man Of few words,
quiet and reserved in his habits and q
man who made friends and held them.
He was good to the poor and he never
was known to go back on q friend.
He was beloved by all who knew
him and probably numbered among
his acquaintances more men and wo-
men than almost any Of the old timers,
now living or deceased.

words: Northern League, 1914" In
the upper right-hand corner is inscrib-
ed: American Association 1915" The
center is left blank, SO that next year
he can write big League, 1916"
Along the lower edge in, six-point
Gothic caps, Fait asks the question:
who knows what we can do?"
It is indeed a tremendous question
and leaves the impression that not
even for Mr.. Fait himself has the veil
Of the future been lifted. While none
Of US can even guess what he can do,
there are several things he may do.
For instance he may eat himself out of
the league, as is the custom of fair
percentage of 'bushers" who are, for
the first time in their lives, stacked up
against hotels where real food is serv-
ed in unlimited quantities, and at the
expense of the ball club. He may talk
himself out of job, and knowing
Pongo we rather imagine this is the
greatest danger confronting Mr.. Fait
just now. The visiting card itself is
likely to go out of business the very
first time Pongo gets a squint at it,
for the austere Josephus doesn't fancy
nuts" any more than the rest of the
managers do, and Joe, in his day, has
been burdened with so many ball play
ers Of this kind that he is less patient
with them than he was years ago.
Northern leauge reports are to the
effect that Charlie Fait has a wonder
ful supply of "stuff," but that as a
baseball nut he can qualify with the
late lamented Reuben Waddell

tative bill to be submitted to the pres
ent legislature which provides that
the clerks of the various counties be
given the power to deputize one or
two deputy registration agents in each
precinct, who will be paid the same as
Notary or Justice of the Peace.
Mr.. Wyman stated that this bill, If
it becomes law, will result in a great
er number of registrations, inasmuch
as the voters will have a deputy reg
istrar close at home instead of hav-
ing to drive many miles to the place
of registration as is now the case all
over the county.

Governor Welcomes A

Governor Samuel " Stewart his message to the senate
house Monday with reference to the investigation OF state
partisan committee composed of republicans only stated in
emphatic he welcomed such probe into the affairs
of the administration and that would most surely make for
efficiency and economy.
He declared however that the investigation to be of real
value should be full and fair and that par
to make impartial and fair all parties represented in the
legislature should have place the committee which should

SUFFRAGE PARTY
TO BE ORGANIZED


At a meeting of the Montana Equal
Suffrage Association, which was held
in Helena last Thursday, it was de-
cided by the members present to ap-
point both state and county central
committees which will be required to
work inward the advancement of bet
ter legislation.
It is understood that at this meet
ing the members voted almost unan-
imously in favor of the organization
of separate party known as the Bet
ter Government party or similar title,
and who will nominate and put candi-
dates in the field at all city, county
and state elections, as well as partici-
pate in the nomination of candidates
for national Offices.
It is understood that this action
was taken after, and in spite of Gov
ernor Stewart's recent speech, warn
ing the women of the folly of such
proposed action on their part.

The Monitor was fortunate in Sc
curing this afternon from ]. H. Dryer,
clerk of School District No. lit, at
Terry, the final and complete returns
of the Prairie County election held
within the boundary of the proposed
new commonwealth on Tuesday, jan
uary 26th.
These figures were compiled by the
Terry Commercial Club and are said
to be even more accurate than those
which were secured by the local organ
ization at the election last November.
The vote of the creation of the coun-
ty was 753 for and only 62 against.
Terry was selected almost unanimous
ly as the new county seat, Fallon re-
ceiving but one lone solitary vote
against Terry's 772.
The highest single vote was that
of w. S. Haley for State Senator. Mr..
Haley had no opposition which ac-
counts for the heavy poll in his
favor.

According to the report of the state
railway commissioners for the calen-
dar year 1914, only one employe of the
Northern Pacific was killed in the state
of Montana during the year. Not a
fireman or conductor was killed dur
ing the year on the entire transconti-
mental system.
The following is comparison Of the
sioner's report: On the Great North
ern 81 people were killed during the
year, II of these being employees. On
the Milwaukee road, 10 were killed,
four Of whom were employees. On the
Northern Pacific, 29 were killed. One
of these was an employe and the
other % were stealing rides.
The public is concerned mostly with
the civilian. This includes people
killed on highway crossings or while
pursuing legitimate vocations on rail
road property. In the Montana divi-
sion of the Northern Pacific, 81 per-
sons, or so per cent fewer than 1918
were killed in the calendar year of
1914.
Northern Pacific Record.
"The Northern Pacific has the clean
est record of any transcontinental road
in the United States," said Charles T.
Banks, special representative of the
road This last year has seen net
decrease of Sc per cent in the total
Of deaths on the entire system for
1914. No passengers, except one in
the state of Washington, were killed
during the year. The central district
of the Northern Pacific, which ex-
tends from Mandan, No. Oak. to Para
disc, distance of 1920 miles has
spotless record. With last years ac-
complishments to build upon, it is
our intention to approach as near as
possible perfect record for the pres
ent year."
