Drys Say Sheridan
is, Sure a "Strau''

The following, appearing in
the Montana dailies of Sunday,
is rather interesting, for the
reason that Sheridan county
was a straw concerning dry"
sentiment in Montana. Sher-
idan is on the North Dakota
boundary line, joining pro-
hibition territory.
Glendive, Oct. 16.-With sew
eral outside precincts yet to
hear from it is certain that drys
have swept Richland county
for local option by an over
whelming majority. The fig
ures now show that the PROPOSE
ton received more than two out
of every three votes cast and it
is believed complete returns
will show even more strongly
for the drys. Returns received
to date show, for county option,
1888; against, 395. Only three
small precincts recorded plural
tiles against the proposition.
1t is persistently rumored that
efforts will be made to place
Dawson county in the dry
column. Petitions are reported
to be in circulation in the circle
country 81 miles from Glendive
but so far none have been cir
culated in this city.

World Plays Up
Woes of Worden
Etliridge World

Tuesday F. Fl. Worden, cash
ier of the Farmers State Bank,
and his son Merle, manager of
the Northern Montana Lumber
Co., both of Cut Bank, came
down in a runabout which the
latter recently purchased.
When about two miles from
Ethridge the rear axle broke
and the junior Worden came in
on foot to summon aid, leaving
his father to protect the car
from any predatory jackrabbits
or voracious gophers that might
happen along that way.
Harry Wilkins was in town
that day with his Ford and as
soon as he caught the Worden
S. O. S. he fastened to the res
cue, towing them in behind the
Lizzie and late in the after
noon he started to Cut Bank
with his son Harry and the
senior Worden, but it seemed
that some sort of a "iinx" was
pursuing Mr.. Worden that day,
for the Ford refused to ramble
any further than Boru. turning
a deaf ear to all cajoleries or
threats. After spending some
time in a vain attempt to start
the car, Mr.. Wilkins hiked
across the hills for home and
Mr.. Worden and young Wilkins
started a marathon with Eth
ridge as the objective, hoping to
arrive in time for No 43. Mr..
Worden came in in good style,
winning second money but
missing the train and had Oscar
Winden take him home in his

young raanchers of the north

to get particulars, but owing to
the fact that phone lines thru

porter out there and have not
been able even to learn the

x. r. Crossing is
an Urg'nt Problem

If this community continues
to develop and traffic over our
highways through the north
country increases the problem
of better railway crossings be-
comes more acute. Right at
present there is hardly a half
hour of the day that a freight
does not enter the city from
the east. The long train must
be stopped to open switches
and often the crossing is
blocked for quarter hour or
more, much to the annoyance
of grain haulers coming and
going. The other day we saw
three or four farmers on each
side of the crossing held up for
a long spell, while a freight
train a half mile long leislurely
blocked all progress. Really,
it is unfair to criticise the rail-
way company too harshly un-
der the circumstances, but the
matter is one that demands a
solution.

7hreshers Turning Out
Thousands Each Day

There are now sixteen thresh-
ing outfits at work in this COM
munity. Threshers say that
they can average 1000 bushels
day. That means that $4,000
bushels are being threshed each
day now. The price of all
grains will average 75c per
bushel and that means that
$22,40 worth of grain is being
threshed daily. If threshing
lasts for the next thirty days,
as threshers and farmers de-
clare, it means that the sum of
$672,000 worth of grain will be
threshed out in that time-and
"some" threshing has already
been done.

Grair, Receipts

Grain receipts at the local
elevators have been heavy all
week. The main highways to
Cut Bank have been traversed
with long professions of grain
haulers from early morning till
far in the night. Many of the
farmers are hauling with three
teams strung out, attached to
two big loads of grain. The
weather all week has been per-
feet for threshing operations.

District Court SeS-
sion to beLengthy
Many Cases of Local In
terest to be Tried
at ChOteau

District court is in session at
Choteau this week and will
probably continue all next
week. The case of John Abel,
the Conrad man who is charged
with horse rustling on a large
scale, is now being tried. The
case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wolf, resi-
dents of Babb, charged with
mistreatment of young girl,
will come up next, it is stated.
The trial of VIM. McDougall,
charged with selling meat with
out exhibiting the pelt, is also
on the calendar and a number
of witnesses from here are at
Choteau to give testimony in
this case.
Mrs. D. Clark, widow of
Daniel Sayers Clark, won out
in her fight for the appointment
of guardian of the estate of her
deceased husband. This matter
took a number of residents to
the county seat early in the
week.
Probably one of the biggest
cases on the calendar this term
is that of Norris & Hurd VS..
Town of Cut Bank. The Great
Falls lawyers have brought
suit against the town for the
sum Of $500.00, which they
claim is due them for legal ad-
vice at the time the municipal
election was held on the bond
issue for waterworks purposes.
