Klein Attacked by
a Frenzied Bovine
Has Narrow Escape When
Meek Jerse Losesy
Temper

Alfred Klein had an extreme
ly narrow escape from death,
last Sunday evening, in a most
peculiar and unusual manner.
Alfred was milking a Jersey
cow in a yard in the rear of the
Klein home on Upper Broadway
and in the same yard his little
boy was at play. The COW,
usually most meek and docile
animal, was fretful over t h e
loss of its calf, that had been
taken from it a short time be-
fore, and when a dog entered
the yard it became enraged and
made lunge for the dog. AL
fred sprang to take the child,
almost under the cows feet,
and while so doing was attack
ed by the animal, now wild
with rage, and was tossed over
it's head and trampled with its
front feet. Louis Klein and
Peter Conrad were attracted by
the believing of the cow and
ran to the scene, to find Alfred
in an almost unconscious con-
dition, his clothing nearly torn
from his body and the cow
trampling upon him with it's
front feet. 1t was with some
effort that they drove the frenzi-
ed beast away and carried Klein
into the house. His face was
swollen and bleeding and there
were a number of bad bruises
upon his body. Fearing that
there might be internal injuries,
a physician was called, W b o
declared that his escape from
serious internal injuries was
very narrow.
Alfred is able to be about
again but it will be several days
before the effects of the rough
usage by his pet bovine have
worn away.

A Herder's .Soliloquy

Backward, turn backward, time as it
rolls,
Barbed wire fences and telephone
poles,
Dry-land farmers, turn away from
my sight,
Make me herder again for night
Leave me again in the sheepherder' S
shack,
Where coyotes chased gophers out
thru the cracks,
And you stake out your bacon and hob
bled the ham,
And mixed your sour dough in an
old rusty pan.
No key for your shack, no lock for yom
door,
A box for your grub, sod for the
floor,
Thru the cracks in the roof the stars
shone SO bright,
Make me herder again for night
Leave me again on the prairie so free,
Show me again the Injun tepee,
Tho the days they were long, my heart
it was light,
All, make me herder again for a
night.
The Pioneer is dying, his work it is
done,
The sheepman and stockman their
race has been run,
Now the drylander is making his fight,
And the herder is bidding the wool
lies good nightl

an exceptionally good yield for

We believe this is an excel
lent time for merchants a n d
others to make plans concern
ing the equipment of t h e r
places of business for the fall
trade. In about another month
the fall business will begin and
unless we badly mistake Cut
Bank will be the busiest center
in all this section. To meet this
condition with good stocks and
an efficient force of helpers is
a matter that should be worked
out now, after the fashion, as
we are told, the great generals
work out their campaign o
action. The greatest crop i n
our history is about to be reap

In The Land of
TheLordly Marias
Year of Plenty in Pioneer
Stock Section of
North Teton

T h G Pioneer Press editor,
within the past two week, has
visited nearly every part 0 f
what might properly be termed
the Cut Bank farming section.
Last Sunday he had occasion to
traverse the section east and
south 0 f town. Everywhere
the story is the same-fine fields
of standing grain and flax and
the promise of a crop unpreced-
ented in the farming history
of Montana. In h section
south of Ethridge the grain is
more advanced; spring wheat
being dead ripe and all t h e
winter grain being in shock.
On the Baker ranch south of
Ethridge, some threshing had
been done and although this 800
acre field had been hit by hail
and damages had been allowed
by an adjuster, the grain thresh-
ed yielded 29 bushels per acre
and a carload had been shipped
to Duluth. On the slopes of
the Marias, grain and flax were
ripening radidly and we noted
some particularly fine crops on
the ranch of Mrs. j. Mccormick,
at whose home party of Cut
Bank people, bound on a berry,
picking campaign. were most
Hospitality entertained. Mrs.
Mccormick devotes her time in
summer to raising poultry and
to gardening and after she has
spread her table for the weary
and hungry traveller he can
eloquently testify that she is
highly successful in both lines
of endeavor. The ranch of John
Shinnick, down in the Marias
valley, is berry-picker's haven
and when you tire of that you
can 60 sit in the shade and
listen to John, the while he re-
gales you with stories of the
old days of stock and sheep
along the storied Marias river,
blended here and there with a
yarn about the grub-line riders
and sturdy punchers roaming
over that region a qua t e r
century ago. Below the Shin
nick ranch lies the old ranch of
John j. M Ter, Cut Banks
liveryman, who years ago was
extensively engaged in t h C
(, sheep business. The ranch is
aow owned by parties at Waller,
who have irrigated it and have
.arge fields of Alfalfa and big
stacks of the same, from the first
cutting. Studded down it's
silvery way with a thick growth
trees and bushes and with pro-
sperous ranchers, who own fine
homes and have cattle sheep
and green fields of grain and
alfalfa, the Marias country is a
land Of promise and of profits"

There are couple of ranches
northeast of town that were not
sown to crop last Spring that
are overrun with Jim Hill
mustard. This mustard is now
nearly ripe and if the seed is
allowed to scatter to neighbor
ranches it will menace t h a t
neighborhood within a very
short time. The mustard should
be burned or destroyed in some
manner. We realize that neigh
Dor farmers dislike to t a k e
drastic action in such matters,
but this is a question of COM
munity welfare. The county
agent should be appealed to or
action taken under the noxious
weed law. If allowed to 60 as
at present it will be a blight on
that fine farming section.

Main Track Mileage
Aside from sidetracks there
has been no material increase
in mileage of railroads in the
state since the assessments were
made in 1914. The Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul has the
greatest main track mileage,
I748.28. The Great Northern is
next with 676.74, the Northern
Pacific coming third with 623, so.
But the latter excels the Great

Wool at 25 cents pound is not the
only reason why Montana farmers, as
well as the men who OWE big ranches
have been devoting more attention to
sheep during the last few years. The
farmer with the comparatively small
tract of land has learned that there is
a very satisfactory profit to be made
each year on a small band of pure
bred sheep. At the Montana State
Fair at Helena last fall there were
several hundred head of pure bred
sheep exhibited and the visitor who

Paint Guide Signs
Along Auto Trail
Cut Bank on Main Stem
New York-tO-Park
Route


ing from Little Old New York
to Glacier National Park, which
trail is destined to put every
town along the trail in t h e
spotlight. Instead of being an
isolated town in the fuzzy out
west, as some SNUG people back
east may imagine, our town is
on the auto highway to t h e
most celebrated playground in
American, with New York on
the other end of the line.
Late last week A. L. Meigs
and X. E. Pfohler of Minneapolis
passed thru here, painting signs
on the way, so "all who run
may read"
The trail is what is termed
the red trail being painted in
red on telephone and telegraph
poles, on posts and on buildings,
wherever required. The signs
as used are a white background
with red universal signs. A let
ter R on the side Of a post de-
signates turn to right and let
ter L denote turn to left. A
jht red square border with a
heavy red line through t h e
center denotes straight ahead.
Other signs used are a cross
within the red border denoting
a railroad crossing. A red square
within the red border denotes a
recommended hotel for travel
ers. A red circle within the
red border denotes a recon-
mended garage.
AS means of directing tra-
velers along a highway this
sign painting is sure to appeal
to all. 1t is simple and has
become national in scope. Other
trails have been painted east of
Montana and wherever other
trails cross the red trail a diff
ferent color paint is used. There
are now five different colored
trails painted or started.

Obituary

Duncan Chisholm died at his
home at Chalk Buttes last Satur-
day. His death, while not wholly
unexpected, as he had been a

where he was we'll and favorah]y
known.
Deceased was born in Antigo-
nish county, Nova Scotia, in De-
cember, 1S45. He removed to
Deadwood, S. D., in 1897, and to
Chalk Buttes. Montana, in 1908.
His wife, two sons and three
daughters survive him.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by A. l.. Shaw at the church
Monday afternoon and interment
was made in the Odd Fellows

Fallon Pays Custer

County Auditor George Grant
on last Saturday completed the
checking of the amount due Gus
ter from Fallon.
AS result of the accounting
Custer county received Monday,
a balance from Fallon County of
$42, SIG. Al which will be partial
payment on the account, from
the new county to the old, pend
ing the settlement of the litiga-
tlon between the two counties,
now in district court. If the
finding is for the majority re-
port, the amount paid represents
the indebtedness of Fallon to
Custer, and in case the minority
report is upheld by the court.
there will further accounting
from Fallon to Custer.
The majority report Of the
commission was that there were
$44, 4S6. 20 and the accruing in
terest on this amount since the
report was made plus the princi-
pal, amounts to $48, ,O0O.58. From
this amount is taken the delin-
quent taxes due to Fallon county
SIS, 424 II which leaves the a.
mount $42, 576.4l as given above.
The majority report Of the ad-
justment commission differed
from the minority report on the
question as to whether or not
county bridges should be oonsid-
cred as assets. The case recent
~ was heard in district court but
ak yet no decision has been Civ
en-, 1t is the opinion Of counsel
that the case will go to the su-
preme court for final settlement.

The wool men have the center of
the stage here now and a lively
market is being oevoped. TWen-
ty-siX and one-half cents was
paid for one clip last week and
indications are that this is not
the high point for the season,
Continuous rain has prevented
the wool from coming in as fast
as it should but arrangements
have been made to drag all roads
leading into the wool districts as
soon as permissible and culverts
and bridges are in good shape.
The following sales have been
made here during the past week.
Jim Osgood, clip. twenty-six and
one-half cents; Walter Ford, clip,
twenty-four and three fourths
cents; Browning, clip, twenty
four and three fourths cents.
Harry Bumford, clip, twenty
four and three fourths cents.
