MURDERED MAN KNOWN HERE

The murder last week of Robert j.
Benn, a prominent business man of
Kalispell, which has created such
stir, caused distinct shock through
out northern Montana where Mr..
Benn was very we'll known. He was
at one time in business in Glasgow,
owning a saloon here, and left in 1893
for Great Falls. Many of the older
residents remember him.

the body of Robert ]. Benn was found
lying near the safe of his establish
ment in Kalispell. AS near as can
be ascertained, Benn had just return

RELIEF FOR HoMEsTEADERs

RELIEF FOR HOMESTEADERS
The bill to validate homestead en-
tries was passed before the close of
the session at Washington. The bill
provides that all pending homestead
entries made in good faith prior to
January 1st, 1914, under the enlarg-
ed homestead laws, by persons who
before making such enlarged entry
had acquired title to land under the
homestead laws and We're not qualified
to make the enlarged homestead en-
try, be validated if in all other re-
spects regular in all cases where the
original homestead entry was for less
than 100 acres of land.
Another bill which passed, provides
that preference right of entry under
the enlarged homestead law shall! be
given to persons who first apply TO
have lands designated for enlarged
homesteading.
Congress incorporated in the def
cheney appropriation bill an amend
ment for the relief of desert land en-
trymen who are unable to get water
for their lands after making entry.
The amendment provides that such
entrymen, if they have expended 81 an
acre for three years in working their
lands and made permanent improve.
ments to the extent of $1.25 per acre
upon the payment of an additional So
may obtain title from the government
cents per acre and thereby be relieved
from further compliance with the de.

FAIR SECRETARIES MEET
Many Fine Features Arranged for
Coming Fairs.

Coming Fairs.
Nineteen of the twenty one men,
bers of the County Fair Association
met in Helena this week to discuss
plans for the coming season. 1t was
very successful meeting, and will
prove great benefit to all who were
fortunate in attending.
- The tentative date for the fairs
throughout the state were fixed, the
Valley County fair being set for Sep
tember Z, 8 and 9th, but these dates
are not final, as the matter must be
taken up with the directors before it
becomes final. It is hoped to provide
circuit Of four fair meets begin
ming with Glasgow, then to Chinook,
Havre and Fort Benton. This will
provide a circuit for the amusement
features and racing so that horse own
ers and high class attractions can be
obtained much more readily and at a
much smaller cost, if they have these
four fairs where they can show instead
of making only one fair. In speaking
of this matter Secretary Moore stat
ed:
'If these arrangements are made,
it will give us an opportunity to save
money in the cost of amusements and
entertainment features at our county
fair. If we cannot change our dates
and our plans are so far completed
and we hold our fair on September g.
10 and 18th as already decided, we
will be able to connect up with amuse-
ments that will have an opportunity
to exhibit at three fairs along the
circuit leading directly to the state
fair, which will no doubt enable us
to get our attractions at a lower rate
than if they were only to show in one
county fair"
Mr.. Moore was elected president OF
the association.

appeared and evidently Benn sprang
for him, the robber using his gun to
strike Benn over the head several
times, finally shooting him close to
the left temple and through the heart.
Two suspects, Robert Hunter and
C. C. Miller have been arrested and
the evidence is very strong against
them as the murderers.

last week was taken into court and the
Judge sentenced him to serve from

MALTA WANTS A COUNTY FAIR


A county fair is the next thing
for Phillips county. The infant d.
vision of Montana does not intend to
take back seat for any of its elders
and expects to be in the front rank
in the fall with prize pumpkins, spuds,
squashes, crazy quilts, jellies, jams, pie
and crops of every description. An
association will probably be organiz-
ed for this purpose and plans made
for the successful launching of the
new county's exhibition. Several ten
tative sites, have already been de-
signAted as possible locations, and
much enthusiasm has been shown over
the project by people from all parts
of the county.

Several Parties Considering h. G. n.
Grants Requests for Imprsvsnssaas.
Work Ordered Dove.


Lots were bought this week by Hell
ley and Woodey, of Chinook on Sesend
Avenue south on which they intsad
to build modern steam laundry. Tlssy
figure on building = concrete, Are
proof, building, designed especially for
a steam laundry business. They ex-
pect to he in the city again the first
of the week to let the contract for
the erection of the building. The
machinery to be used will be of the
latest designs and newest models. Mr..
Holley was here last fall looking over
the prospects Of establishing a laun-
dry here, and the Commercial Club
has been in correspondence with him
relative to his locating here, with the
final result that they will build and It
will be but a few months before the
plant is in operation. -4@
The fact that many of the improve
ments which the Commercial Club
has been trying to get the Great Nor
thern to make here are now a GER
tainty will be pleasant news to the
people of Glasgow. On his return
from Helena, Secretary Moore stop
ped off in Great Falls and called on C.
E. Leverich and P. H. Hervin, of the
Great Northern and they informed
him that an order has been issued
out of St. Paul for the immediate in
stallation of an electric signal alarm
at the east end of the yards. The
passenger platform at the depot will
also be extexded east and west to af,
ford better accommodations for pas
sengers getting on and alighting from
rains. The Great Northern also plans
to move the yardmaster's office from
it's present location to east of the new
ice house. Several other changes will
be made in the yard in and about the
depot and possibly dirt will be filled in
aid the entire yard from the depot
to the ice house in the east end will
be parked this summer.
The prospects are very bright for
the erection of flour mill in the CITY
the coming summer. Through the ef-
forts of the Commercial Club and w.
w. Clark of the Northwestern Mill
Construction Co. of Billings, the deal
will probably come to a head within
a short time. At the present time,
the matter is under consideration by
two different parties, who contem-
plate establishing a so barrel capac-
ity mill in Glasgow. This would mean
an investment of about $15,00O.00o. A
thoroughly experienced miller is al
ready anxious to locate in Glasgow and
is endeavoring with the assistance OF
Mr.. Clark to secure enough funds
which together with the cash he has
on hand, will permit the immediate
erection of mill. The prospects al
present seem very bright for the early
completion of the plans now under
way and should they eliminate as ex
pected, the mill will be turning ou
not less than so barrels of -four ;
day this fall. A mill of this capacit!
should have it's entire output taker
as fast as produced, the local consump
tion alooe being almost enough t.
keep the mill going to full capacity
