lost control of it and toppled back.
wards over gully fully 80 feet in
depth.
The accident occurred just outside
of Terry last Friday evening, when
Mrs. Drummond, accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. Barbara Rahrer, and
Messrs. Frank O'Neil and Sam Dare,
and her youngest daughter, Ethel,
started out for short ride into the
country.
On the hill the engine died, and the
driver losing her presence of mind, for
got to put her foot on the emergency
brake. John Dare jumped to safety
but the others were buried beneath
the heavy machine at the bottom OF
the gully, Mrs. Whitcomb being so
badly injured that she was taken to
the hospital with broken ribs.
The child who never regained con-
sciousness, was buried in the Terry
Cemetery on Tuesday, the services
having been conducted by the Rev.
L. C. Thompson of that place.
Miss Aurilla Drummond, employed
as bookkeeper at the Haskell AutomO-
bile & Supply Co., in this city, is q
daughter of the driver of the ill-fated
car. Both she, and her father who
was visiting in Iowa at the time, were
notified and were in Terry for the
Obseuuies.

end of two years. Besides this, when
ever the city takes over the pool and
operates it as a free municipal bath,
each subscriber will have returend to
him in full the entire amount of his
subscription. In this way, not q cent
of money will be lost to the subscrib-
ers-in fact they will 3e away ahead
on account of the free two-year mem
bership.
The Swimming Club plans can be
seen at any time in the Office of the
City Engineer in the New City Hall,
and the subscription petition is open
for signatures at the First National
Bank
AS has been stated above, every de-
tail of the organization and operation
of the proposed natatorium has been
attended to and at considerable loss of
time and money of those civic spirited
men who would see the proposition 60
through.
AS stated in the editorial on the
subject, appearing in this issue of the
Monitor, it is now up to the people of
Glendive whether or not they really
want the innovation, because with this
issue, this paper will have taken its
final step in the matter.

ELkS PLAN BIG DoINGs FOR
TOMORRoW'S CELEBRATION

For the first time in the history Of
Dawson County, a big Elks' Celebration
will be held within its borders. The
event is scheduled for tomorrow, when
the key of the city will be turned over
to the members of the antlered fra
ternity; the Dawson County Club
thrown open to the local members
and visitors; the stores handsomely
and appropriately decorated and light
ed in honor of the occasion; and the
entire city given over to the organic
alton in honor of their having secured
charter for the formation of local
3. P. 0. E. Lodge.
The stores will all be closed shortly
after noon, so everyone should order
their household supplies as early in
the morning as possible so as not to
be disappointed.
Big delegations from Miles City,
Forsyth and Billings are expected on
No. 2 from the west, and they will be
met at the depot by the local Elks
headed by the Glendive band. After
the parade the visitors will be enter
tanned at the Dawson County Club,
where eats and other good things will
be provided for their delectation.
In the afternoon, the organization
will 90 in body to the ball park to
see the Glendive Champs" take re-
venge on the Savage Indians" for
their defeat of last Sunday. The game
is scheduled for 400 P. M. sharp and
Erret Gavin the great Highlander
will be on the mound (the regulation
size) for the home team.
In the evening the actual business
of the lodge will be executed at the
Krug Hall. The local lodge will be
duly instituted by District Deputy
Rhoades of Bozeman, the nominated
officers will be elected and the new
members initiated.
Special mention must be made of the
store decorations. They are really the
finest ever seen in this city, and re-
fleet great credit on an organization
which furnishes so worthy an incen-
tive.

EDWARD ANDERSON
GIVES AWAY AUTO

Upon investigating the rumor that
Ed. Anderson Of the Rivenes- -Wester
Hardware Co., had gone into the auto
mobile business, 1t was discovered that
the rumor was unfounded.
The facts OF the case, as disclosed
by a careful investigation, are as fol-
lows: Shortly after the first Of June.
Hans Undem of Terry, a member OF
the big sheep firm of Sanderson & I'm
dem, was in town and incidentally
took look at the old Fuller 4-cylinder
automobile which had been cashed
in the rear of the hardware store.
The auto, which even experts had
been unable to start, was considered
by the store manager as so much ma
terial for the junk dealer, SO he ven-
tured the statement to Mr.. Undem
that if he could start it he could have
it.
Not thinking any more Of the Incl
dent, Mr.. Anderson repaired to the
store to attend to some waiting custom
ers, and Mr.. Undem proceeded to the
auto and succeeded in not only get
ting it started but actually moving.
So we'll and so fast did it then move,
that Mr.. Undem ran 1t into ditch q
short distance out Of town and broke
it to the extent of upwards Of 500.
The legal question now rises: VINO
will have to pay the repair bill. Ed.
Anderson who gave the car away. or
Mr.. Undem who broke 1t up.

Ing for permission to extend the N. P.

City Attorney Anderson the petition
was granted.
communication from the N. P.
Railway company was read in which
the city was requested to formally ac-

precedents in the matter and to re-
port to the Council at it's next meeting.

Every little detail of the organiza-
ton of the newly formed and soon to be
incorporated public institution, the
Glendive Swimming Club, has been
perfected, and the proposition is now
put squarely up to the people for their
final action.
Whether or not the city of Glendive
is to have municipal natatorium for
the benefit and pleasure of all the
people, is merely a question of wheth-
er of not they will see fit to subscribe
for stock in the new civic organizaa-
tion up to the guaranteed amount,
$4,000, which amount is necessary be-
fore the actual work on the pool can
be begun.
A 20-year lease for all the land on
Clough Street up to the river bank,
and between Valentine street and the
river bridge at Bell street, has just
been secured by the Club, at an annual
rental of so cents per year.
Manager Frank Hughes of the local
electric company has agreed to furn-
ish semi-heated water from the plant
free of charge.
Mr.. John Brown, in charge of the
Manual Training School, has consented
to erect the two water slides, the div
ing tower and whatever other water ap-
paratus is needed, the Club to merely
furnish the lumber and other materials
City Engineer Handforth has gone
as far as he possibly can go at this
time on the plans and specifications
for the new pool, and is only waiting
for reply to his recent communica-
ton to the Billings Park Superintend-
ent, H. L. Parten, as to certain mat
ters of concrete reinforcing, before
the entire plans and sub
hitting the specifications to local con-
tractors.
Assistant Cashier John NJ O'Neil
of the First National Bank, who is
treasurer of the Swimming Club, has
opened an account in the bank for the
new organization and will receive sub
scriptions for stock at the rate of
$1,000 per share at any time during
banking hours.
A number of subscriptions have al
ready been received and more are ex-
pected during the balance of the week.
The Club is capitalized at $4,000,
divided into 500 shares at the par
value of $1,000 each, it being the un-
derstanding that in case $4,000 is not
raised in time to erect the pool this
year, the money will be returned in
full to the subscribers.
With each purchase of stock, a free
two-year membership in the club will
be given, such membership card to in
clude not only the subscriber but his
entire family. AS the yearly member
ship dues of non-stockholding resi-
dents will be IS per year, each share
Of stock will thus be paid for at the
