some new faces in the audience. Mrs.

80 TRACTS OF INDIAN
LANDS CHANGE HANDS

The last sale of Indian lands, held at
the agency near Dixon, on the 18th
inst, was the most successful of any
heretofore held. Thirty two tracts
were sold, all of which brought slight
advance over the appraised value. In
almost every instance the tracts sold
were those where all cash was not eX-
acted of the purchaser, deferred pay
ments being preferred by purchasers
to paying all cash down.
Of the tracts sold, five were in the
Poison district, three in Roman district,
Mission 10. Arlee six, Dixon four,
Camas four.
Another sale will undoubtedly be
held some time the last of the coming
year, at which time it is anticipated
many more tracts will be disposed Of.

tenth cavalry, under Generals Sibley
and Langhorne, detailed by Major
General Frederick Funston to give
chase to the bandit raiders of Glenn
Springs and Boquillas, have returned
to American soil near Boquillas.

out the main body of the Big Bend
marauders, but it made prisoners of
four of the bandits and left behind two
desperately wounded.
In addition it rescued Jesse Deemer,
Boquillas storekeeper, and Monroe
Payne, negro, kidnapped by the
MeXicans as they took their last des-
rerate fling before fleeing south be-
yond the international boundary.

bRAGD0N JURY IS
UNABLE TO AGREE

Minneapolis, May 23.-Deadlocked.
II to /, the Joseph w. Bragdon jury
reported disagreement after delib-
Grating forty-seven hours.
A few minutes after Judge DAME!
Fish had discharged the twelve men
Walter H. Newton, assistant county
attorney, filed an affidavit charging
contempt of court on the part of AL
bert f. Bastyr, their foreman.
Bastyr is the puror named in an af-
fdavit filed last week by Mrs. Mabel
Peterson as having been approached
by Mrs Anna Davis and reported by
Mrs Davis as "a Bragdon man."
Members of the jury asserted, after
they were dismissed, that in fifteen
ballots Bastyr stood alone for acquit-
tai. They charged further that Bas-
tyr threatened them with prosecution
if they made known the lineup of the
jury and that he declared that he
never would change his vote.
When Bastyr was asked regarding
the cause for the disagreement he dis
missed the subject of replying:
"None of your damned business"
Judge Fish set the third trial of
Bragdon on a charge of criminal at.
tack on young girl for June and
ordered the bail of $500 to stand.

S0MERS BATS HARD
. WINS SUNDAY GAME: {:

The Roman fans were out in force
last Sunday and were doomed to wit
ness their team go down to defeat for
the first time this season. Smarting
from the drubbing given them two
weeks ago, the Somers players were on
their mettle and commenced making
runs in the first inning and were never
headed.
The cold, disagreeable wind must
have had more of an error breeding
effect on the local team than on their
adversaries, as they commenced boot
ing and mufiing right from the start
and the score keeper wore out his pen
ell point recording same and then failed
to use his pen knife SO we are unable
to give the exact figures, but they were
plenty.
Joe White, our colored HEAVIER, was
not at his best in the frigid atmosphere
and his curves were solved by the
Somers sluggers (and they are some
sluggers) in nearly every inning he
occupied the mound, His arm failed
to respond in the cold and he retired
after six innings and Ben Hull went in
the box for Roman. Ben's slants were
not so easy and he held the score down
from point to the finish. The home in
field and some of the outfelders could
not properly gauge the base hits made
off Joe and it looked like the defeat
which appeared certain would be a
rout, but after few innings they set
tied down and held the score to reason
able closeness, the contest ending Ro-
nan 8, Somers z.
Part of this humiliation can be
chalked up to luck Every time Ro-
nan batter connected with the ball it
would land right in a Somers players
hands and the result was an easy out.
On the contrary short hit by Somers
went where there was no one and he
was safe at first. Such is the luck Of
base ball. But don misunderstood us.
Those Somers fellows play real ball
and will be found dangerous at any
stage Of the proceedings. 1t will re-
quire real ball players to beat them.
Their battery is strong, their infeld
we'll balanced and the outfeld gets
everything in the air. They are ball
players. Defeat from their hands
loses half the sting. This makes one
game each, and now for the rubber.
The gate receipts last Sunday We're
$71. co. showing that Roman fans will
turn out and support a team.
Next Sunday there will be another
game on the home Diamond, the Mission
Reds being scheduled for that date.
This will be another game worth COM
ing miles to see.

DISTRICT NO. %
SCHOOL FESTIVAL

Probably the largest crowd Of people
ever attending school festival in dis
trict No Is, assembled in Roman last
Friday to take part in the exercises.
The weather looked threatening but
this did not deter many from coming tc
town and by noon there were a great
many children and parents present.
This was the first year to have grad
uating exercises and Miss Alma Myers
has the distinction of being the first
graduate. She looked the part of the
beautiful girl graduate in her cap and
gown and is justly proud of achieve
ment in successfully passing the exams
for the four years devoted to high
school study.
The graduating exercises were held
in the opera house commencing at 1890
and continued until the noon hour.
State Superintendent Davee was here
and made short talk in the forenoon,
and also Prof. Holiday and Prof.
Daughters of the state university.
DR.. Resner, chairman of the local
board of trustees, made the present.
alton address at the graduating exer-
cises, when Miss Alma Myers received
her diploma.
The afternoon was devoted to finish
ing the field events left over from the
Leon meet, and Leon was an easy win
ner of the events, taking first and sec
ond in everything. This gave the ath-
letic championship to Leon by good
margin. Mcdonald of Leon won the
individual honors also.
Miss Kain's primary pupils attracted
great attention later in the afternoon
by their songs and folk dancing. The
little folks went through with their
part of the program to the delight of
teacher and all others present.
In the evening a banquet was served
at the high school rooms, where 1lO
sat down to the tables. Afterward a
number of three minute (stretched into
about 30) toasts were listened to with
attention. Those who responded were
Iver M. Brondjord, Miss Lucille Brown,
Superintendent Logan, County Super
intendent Mary Shull, State Superin-
tendent Davee, D. N. Mason, Mrs. E.
F. Tabor, Senator Brewer, Prof. Hol-
liday and Prof. Daughter. Afterward
there was dance in the opera house
where one of the largest crowds ever
attending such function in Roman took
part until near morning.
All in all it was a very successfully
conducted festival. Each year the in
terest grows and from present indl-
cations will soon be the big day OF
every year on the reservation.

MANY COUNTIES WILL
EXHIBIT At STATE FAIR

Already twenty-five counties have
reserved space for their exhibits at the
Montana State fair and exposition this
year. This breaks all previous records
of reservations made thus early in the
season, and indicates that the number
of counties which will be represented
at the fair with exhibits this fall will
exceed that of any previous year.
The list of counties which already
have made appropriations to defray the
expense of state fair exhibit, or the
commissioners Of which have assured
Secretary R. S. Skinner of the pres
ence of exhibits, are Big Horn, Blaine,
Beaverhead, Broadwater, Custer,
Choteau, Cascade, Deer Lodge, Fergus,
Hill, jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Mad
ison, Musselshell, Meagher. Missou)a,
Park, Phillips, Rosebud, Ravalli, Sher-
idan, Silver Bow, Sweet Grass, Valley
and Yellowstone.
In addition to this list, assurances
have been received from Prairie and
Richland counties that they will have
exhibits at the fair. Although Secre-
tary Skinner has received no word from
Gallatin county, he is in hopes that it
will have an exhibit this year. 1t
dropped out last year for the first time
in many years.
Secretary Skinner is working with
the commercial clubs of the various
Montana towns wherever possible as
regards the matter of county exhibits
at the state fair, and with excellent re-
suits. The Commercial club boosters
in every section of the state recognize
the advantages to be secured by having
an exhibit from their county at the
state fair, and the advertising benefits
derived from it.

ROMAN TEACHERS CAMPING
AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

The seven Roman school teachers are

trip to Lake Mcdonald and the peaks
in that vicinity this week, They left
Sunday afternoon last equipped for a
stay lasting all week and those in the
party We're DR.. Becker, Peter E. Han
son, Misses Barbara Kain, Azelie Saw
age, Anna Rafferty,, Hilda Marsh and
Irene Teagarden.
Duncan Mcdonald of Ravalli was to
meet them at Post creek to act as
guide on their mountain climbing trips
and this shows acute knowledge on the
part of the teachers in securing so COM
petent man to accompany them. The
weather was not very encouraging for
trip last Sunday when they left Ro-
nan and the cool weather the fore part
of the week was not the kind that
camping parties would most enjoy, but
nothing daunted they started out in
good spirits.

tics of the past few years and
facts upon which future business
for a transportation line can be
based. After completing his in
vestigation a report will be made
to the executive committee of the
proposed electric road and upon
this report the promoters hope
to interest capital in the enter
prise.
Years of experience in rail-
roading with one of the main
trans-continental lines especially
fit Mr.. Weeks for this important
work and his report can be re-
lied upon as accurate and indi-
eating whether there is suf-
fclent business in this valley to
justify the investment of the
money necessary to construct
and equip the line.
