SENDING OUT NEW FORMS

County Clerk and Recorder Shoe
maker has been sending out the new
blank forms which must be used IN
the registration of voters, to the diff
ferent justices of the county.
The last session of the legislature
changed the form of the blank on
which the oath of elector appears
Formerly this oath was on a small
sheet, but now it must be. on a card
of certain dimensions, and this must
be field in prescribed filing case for
ready reference.
The local Office is working upon
'transcribing the names of the qualified
electors who are still registered to
the new card system, but all new re-
gistrations are required on the new
forms. It is thus necessary for the
notaries and justices of peace to be
supplied with the new forms before
they may register. The impression
that justices may not register others
except in their own precinct hereafter
is wrong one, as they can register
anywhere 10 miles from the county
court house.

JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED

A general Jail delivery was frus-
trated last week by Sheriff Hank Lor-
anger of Hill County.
The sheriff was awakened about
three o'clock one morning by noises
in the Jail just below his sleeping ap-
artments. He went downstairs and
heard some one at work on the inside
of the Jail wall. He went upstairs
and called the night police by phone
and upon their arrival stationed one
of them in front and another in the
rear of the Jail so that they would be
able to guard these avenues of escape
in case the prisoners should make a
dash for liberty when he went into
the Jail to make an examination.
! There he found Charlie Pruitt, a
prisoner who is facing long term
in the penitentiary, working at the
wall to make a hole large enough sc
that he could crawl throug to free.

PREDICTS BUMPER CROP

In the opinion of J. M. Gruber, vice
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, a blind man could almost see
prosperity in Montana. Mr.. Gruber
passed through this part of the state
recently en- route west on an official
trip of inspection. His trip at this
time will extend to San Francisco, as
he wishes to test the service furnish
ed by the Great Northern Boat Line
from Portland south.
"In some parts of the middle west
the grain crops have been somewhat
injured by continued wet weather, re-
sulting in rust, but that is not ex-
tensive. The predicted billion bushel
wheat crop will be more of truth
than a poem. The farmers Of the
northwest should have a great year
particularly if peace continues to be
the portion of this country and We
believe that it will"

the city this week was Ex-Governor
A. o. Eberhart of Minnesota, who is
making an extensive trip through the
state inspecting the bridge construc-
ton work being done by the Widell
Co., for the Great Northern Railway
Since retiring from politics, Mr.
Eberhart has devoted his time to look
ing after his business interests. The
trip which he is making necessitates
the inspection of every construction
crew along the right of way and
many times the former Governor is
forced to resort to the use Of a hand
car to reach his destination.
+ Mr.. Eberhart arrived in the city
Wednesday noon from Poplar and
while here was taken for an automo-
bile trip over the north and south
benches by DR.. Hoyt and Secretary

years is nothing less than remark

County Treasurer Truman M. Pat

payment of a $500 quarterly license

MIDWAY CELEBRATES

The celebration at the Jones Half
Way House at Midway Tuesday was
complete success, and many from
the north country, and Glasgow were
present to share the hospitality of the
Midwayites. The big feature of the
day was the baseball game in the af-
ternoon between Glasgow and the
North Country. Manager Ed Combs
of the North Country team had as
sembled an aggregation of players,
picked from the strongest teams and
they put up a good game against the
Glasgow Regulars.
In the ninth inning the score stood
5 to 5 and an extra inning was neces-
sary to finish the game, Glasgow put
ting two runners over the home plate
in the tenth.
Benson pitched for Glasgow and
Armstrong did the hurting for the
North Country. The grounds were
not what could be called first class and
the playing was not as fast as it
would have been on a good diamond.
The features of the game were the
hitting of Lee Chouinard for the North
Country who got double and single
out of three times at bat. Lee also
felded his position in good shape,
grabbing everything that came his
way. Pagan, playing first for Glas-
gov was also there with two timely
clouts, both bringing in runs. Num-
erous bases were stolen on both sides,
Hooking being the chief pilferer, pur-
loining three.
A dance on the bowery furnished
amusement for the crowd in the eve
ming. The only drawback to the eve
ning's entertainment was the horde
of mosquitoes who made themselves
especially friendly with the dancers.
Two green grass bonfires were built
outside the bowery and for a while
the dancers were enveloped in cloud
of smoke, as relief from the mosqui-
tos.
Everyone present at the celebration
was royalty treated and Mr.. Jones is

make as good yields as some of the
later sown grain, it will be about the
same as last year.
Bumper yields are expected from
fields of late sown grain, and the quail
ity Of the grain is expected to sur.
pass anything ever harvested in this
section of the state. With all the
moisture necessary until cutting, the
warm days and cool nights Of the past
week has done wonders in filing out
the kernels, and it is the opinion Of
those who have observed conditions
closely, that the grain produced in
the county this fall will outclass any
thing in the state.
Land men and farmers estimate the
acreage under cultivation in the coun-
ty to be double what it was last year
and that the yield will be at least 80
per cent greater than in 1914. Earlier
in the season the crops on the south
bench did not give much promise Of
producing good yields, but the rains
during this month have advanced them
so that they will be above the aver
age. On the north bench record
crops are in sight and with a larger
acreage under cultivation, the farm
ers are very jubilant.

The first game on Sunday will be
called at 2:bO o'clock and the second

KILLED JUMPING
FROM TRAIN
Walter Hoig of Malta Killed in
Yards Wednesday Night
SKULL CRUSHED BY FALL
Was Cumming" Ride on No. 3 On
Way to Malta. Jumped Into Switch
Although Warned by Pal.

Thrown headlong against the train
from which he attempted to alight,
Walter Hoig Of Malta came to his
death in the local yards Wednesday
night, the back of his skull be-
ing crushed in, causing almost instan-
taneous death.
With his pal, Elmer Howerton, also
Of Malta, Hoig had been Hooking"
a ride on No. 3 their place Of vantage
being between the mail and baggage
car.
Fearing detection by the local police
when the train arrived at Glasgow,
they decided to get off before the cars
came to stop at the depot platform.
Both being familiar with the yards
at this place they waited until No. 8
had passed the elevators before they
got ready to alight. Howerton says
he looked ahead and saw the switch
lights and warned Hoig to look out
for the switch when he jumped, but
the warning was either unheard or un-
needed, for when Howerton turned
around he saw his pal had jumped
into the switch.
Fearing that Hoig was injured,
Howerton watched his opportunity to
alight safely and hurried back to the
switch. Curled up on the end of the
ties, his head covered with blood, he
found Hoig breathing his last.
Seeing the seriousness of the acci-
dent, Howerton ran to summon med
ical assistance, but Hoig was dead
when the doctor arrived.
1--WE left Malta several days ago"
said Howerton this morning, in tell
ing what he knew of the affair, "and
had decided to go to North Dakota for
the harvest. We bummed a ride out
of Malta but when we got as far as
Frazer we decided to give up the
idea, so we went to Poplar and caught
No. going west. We got down be-
tween the mail coach and the baggage
coach and rode as far as Glasgow.
"When the train pulled into the
yards here, I told Hoig we had better
get off. was on the mail car and
was hanging down pretty low ready
to get off. I looked ahead and saw a
switch light and told Hoig to watch
out for them when he got off. When
/ looked around, I saw that he had
jumped right into the switch. rode
on a little ways and got off and then
ran back to him. I asked him il
he was hurt bad and be only groaned
I saw that he was hurt pretty bad
and ran out into the street and stop
ped an automobile and hurried for
doctor. He was dead when l go1
there with the doctor"
The deceased was about twenty
two years of age and has beer
working around Malta where his par
ents and brother reside.
Coroner Peterson took charge o:
the body last night and this morn
ing notified his relatives, who made
arrangements to have the body sent
to Malta for interment.
No inquest was held as the Coroner
held that there was no doubt about II
being an accident case.
